The nuisance of yelling boys
playing at marble comes not with
March, nor is it likely to with April.
The Governor has appointed the
18th of April as a day of Fasting and
Prayer in this State. See Proclama-
ton in another column.

Police CoURr. John Bean paid
$l5 into the State Treasury and
some $40 in costs, last Saturday, for
the diversion Of assaulting John Gil
man, Our friend Gilman ought to
reform, and we sincerely hope he will
from this time forth. But those who
throw mud at him now are not entire
ly spotless, especial y the youth whose
wife lett him for a negro.
If you want your "lttle brown
jug" filled you will have to go to Mr..

The Standard of last week paid
the following deserved compliment to
DR. Randall -
During the discussion Of our late
town meeting DR.. n Randall made
the remark that if he had wealth to
leave he should provide tor the con-
s;ruction Of a Free Town Hall. He
would like to see the hall open to all
Of whatever creed Or political party,
and would like to have it free. The
Doctor is a gentleman of intelligence
and public spirit as well as the pos
SCISSOR Of q good heart, and the senti-
ment, which was appropriately ap-
plaud, does him credit.
We understand that DR.. Powers
is wetting his flute for note at Town
Meeting, April Cd.
Our Chester correspondence came

We missed the voice of our
