buildings and the Kennebec bridge against

buildings and the Kennebec bridge against
fire. All or nearly all the other cities in the
State have regulations concerning the rum
ming at large of dogs. Now our city is in
tested by host of dogs of all degrees of
worthlessness, whose lawless freedom in the
streets is standing annoyance to hundreds
ofgood citizens. While would not like to see
an indiscriminate war waged against the ca
nine race, there being great many sagacious
and worthy individual dogs, yet l think for
the good and safety of the community, every
dog should be owned by some person, and
should bear that owners name or number on
collar. In other words, every dog running
at large in the streets, with liberty to bark
and bite as It's their nature to, should be IL
ceHse6 by the city, and the new revision of the
ordinances should SO provide.
The last revision of the ordinances contains
no provisions for the giving of deeds and notes
in behalf of the city; it gives no regulations
concerning drains, and the present city coun-
Gil has had to grope its way and make rules
for the connecting of private drains with the
State and Chapel streets sewer. The city has
no ordinances relating to street bounds, and
levels, and to the erection and preservation of
street signs and monuments. All of these
things should be embodied in code of ord-
naDces.
Nor have we anything whatever concern
ing the names, locations or descriptions of the
public cemeteries, the sale of lots therein,
the preservation, repair or ornamentation
thereof; regulations of interments, and fees
of superintendent and undertakers. Indeed,
l question whether the present intelligent,
and efficient superintendent of Burying
Grounds, can, without hesitation, give us
even the names and locations of the several
public cemeteries in the town under his su-
pervision! 1t is not his fault, that he is with
out such information, for each city council
has done simply nothing in regard to making
consolidated record of the names, sizes and
locations of our eight public cemeteries, that
need the constant care of the city.
There are large number of additions that
should be made to the new code of ordinan-
ces, which l will not ask space to enumerate.
There is one more, however, that | will meu-
ton, viz. the Isaac Sanford legacy, for
benefit Of INDECENT scholars of the city. There
should be better system for discussing the
income of that bequest, than at present exists,
that the design of the benevolent testator may
be fully met. How many poor scholars have
been made glad during the last fifteen years,
by reason Of the aid given them from their
legacy so carefully placed in the care of the
city, in trust for them?
hope the new revision will be careful and
thorough, and that no one will be sordid
revision of 1868 cost over 5000 exclusive of
printing, but that was a democratic year;
let the present city council have the courage
and patriotism to give US an infinitely better
revision at no cost at all. Shall we have it?

A Rife Bullet Fired into u house Oh VIM

A Rife Bullet Fired into house OH VIM
throp Street.
On Saturday afternoon, between two and
six o'clock, bullet from rifle, entered the
house Of Bradford Kimball, Esq, on Winthrop
street. The bullet entered the east window,
looking out on the piazza, passing through
portion of the upper sash and the glass, pas
sed through the folds of three curtains, struck
the finish by the side of the south window, some
four feet distant, and fell to the floor The
bullet made an entrance into the wood of about
half an inch. The glass had been in the house
for many years and was of superior quality,
and in passing through, q portion of the ball
was shaved of as by sharp knife, the dissev
cred part making an indentation into the plast-
ering of the wall, few inches from the place
where the main portion of the ball struck.
Where the idiot lives who stood at the
other end of that rife, is not definitely known;
he will be smoked out if there is any virtue in
the "search and seizure clause" The shot
came from due east. A rife of long range
could have thrown it from Cushnoc heights or
DORIS gully. Some stupid, or, more charita
bly,, some careless boy, without calculating
the distance, or the results of his indiscrimi-
nate firing. might have been the guilty party,
while practising at target near by. Fortu-
nate was it that the family were absent at the
time. Very often they are seated on the pi-
azza or in the room that was entered by the
bullet, in which case, in the present instance,
the results would have been fearful to con-
template. These instances Of culpable care
lessness are becoming altogether too common.
An example should be made of this ''son of a
gum" if his whereabouts can be ascertained

LATER.
The accident at Stony Creek this morning,
on the Shore Line road, occurred as follows :
The train, after taking on two passenger cars
at that station, started for this city. The
station master, VIM. Black, replaced the
rails just before the rear truck of the last
car had passed the switch, consequently the
train bumped along with that truck off the
track for few rods, until the trestle work
bridge over Salt Marsh was reached, when
the rear car rolled off the bridge, down Is
feet to the meadow below, dragging with it
all the rest of the train except the locomo-
tive and tender. The cars were badly de-
molished. Supt. Wilcox was in the baggage
car and as soon as he felt the jolting of the
rear car ON the ties, he jumped for the bell
rope, rung it and then jumped out of the side
door into the marsh. The car Immediately
followed him, fell on him and broke his neck.
He was quite young man and very eff
cent officer. He leaves wife and one child.
Owing to the summersaults turned by the
passenger cars few escaped without some in
jury. The Palladium of to- morrow morning
will contain list of l05 persons vino receiv-
ceved injuries, bot most of them were not of
a serious character. There are two or three
whose cases are critical, among them George
Davis of Guilford and Rev. +. Il. Hall of
Farhaven. Several have a broken arm or u
broken leg, but are otherwise uninjured.
a coroners jury this morning rendered a
verdict that Supt. Wilcox came to his death
by reason of the careless action of the station
master, but the latter claims that he did not
reverse the switch until the train had all
passed and until he noticed that the rsar truck
was off the rails. This explanation is not
credited. The track was cleared at 3 80 in
the afternoon and the trains have been run
ming as usual since. The train was purely
local one and the casualties are confined,
with few exceptions, to inhabitants of this
city and adjoining coast.

The Convention was called to order
by President Lindsey at $50 A. NJ. and
the exercises were opened with pray Ell
by Rev. Mr.. Bartlett.
Prof. w, A. G.. Brown, of Messy
Creek, was nominated aud elected a
member of the Association.
The reading of the minutes was dis
pensed with.
Prof. Wilson, of Morristown, stated
that there was no disposition on his
part to criticise the action of those
having charge of the Peabody fund.
There Inay be isolated cases OF perver.
sion of the fund, but teachers had no
right to dictate to Dr. Sears or others
But the question was, could not the
subject be 20 discussed that If in ac-
cordance with the laws governing the
fund, portion could he applied in
training up good teachers? He thought
one of the most important subjects for
the convention would be to supply
some means of making effective
teachers. He did not wish to be un.
derstoOd 20 criticise the trustees of the
fund.
The President announced that the
Committee OF Arrangements had
failed to be able to secure a boat for the
boat excursion, hence they would have
time to go through with the programme
without fastening too much.
The first subject of discussion was on
paper read by Prof. Alexander Bart
lett, of Maryville, on "Should free
Instruction in Public Schools be Con-
fined to the Elementary or Common
Branches of an Education ?n He
wished to be understood that the
question OF free school was not before
the Association. The enquiry relates
to the limits of free instruction. The
object of free instruction is obviously
to place within the reach of all the
means Of being educated. Hence there
should be limit. There is no more
doubt of the necessity of intelli-
gence in an Ameeican than OF
air to breath. Education tends TO
moral improvement, while ignorance
presents a downward course. 1t Is
clearly understood that intelligence
and morality are closely linked. In
telligeuce Is necessary to discharge the
duties of a citizenship, and to conduce
to the morality of the country.
He thought the elementary branches
of an education were all that is really
necessary to make a good citizen. 1t
Is true, more knowledge Is 10 be de-
sired, but the elementary studies,
thoroughly understood, will qualify a
man for good citizenship.
