BAD COSDucr. We are not going to
abuse the boys and young men who crea'
ted The disturbance aud assaulted the ser
wants Of the Kline House last Friday ev'
euiug during tho progress Of the dance,
bat will talk to them kindly with the hope
and belief, that they will in the future de-
pSt from such bad practices. Boys, it
should not DO thus. Common respect for
four parents, and decent respect for your
own good name should forbid you in en-
gazing 10 these intolCrRblO and ungcutIo'
manly practices. These disturbances have
been 50 oItrepeated on the occasion Of al
most every social gathering that forOear'
anCe has almost ceased to be virtue, and
there Is 4 strong determination on the part
Of the citizens to put an end to the dis
turbsuoeS. The difficulty at the Kline
House was all wrong You Of you, who
have PARENTS, must feel that you have
given your father and mother unnecessary
pain and caused them to gricVe over your
unsentIemanly conduct on Friday even
inc, and must also feel that such conduct
lovers you in the estimation Of the COM
muniIy Boys, resolve that these things
shall not be repeated again If you are
invited to these social gatherings, attend;
ifuot, stay away. Never intrudo Jour
solf upon any company or social gathering
Stay away from such places, or it you are
present as looker.on, behave yourselves
while there. We beg of you boys to
keep down this spirit Of lawleSSncss, aud
let there never agaiu be repetition Of such
conduct as that Of Friday night, Treat
your citizens 10 q becoming manner, and
our word for It. they will treat you with
Che respect that is due all gentlemen. We
DO not object to inaoaeut fun, but boys,
E recollcct there is such a thing as carrying
sour fun too fpr-to the destruction Of
property, and the great annoyance Of the
people.
We have said this much totho boys aud
young men Of our town, in the hope that
it may result in good to them, and that it
may be the means Of inducing them to de-
termine from this time to live aud conduct
themselves as becomes all good citizens,
