Mr.. EDITOR II have been thinking of Civ

looking over The Beacon of Feb. 9th, 1874, /
found an article from Stockton giving a sta

exceptions to that report, as it is not complete
In giving an account of the business
places, the writer forgets to tell about there
being two millinery shops and bran new
tailor shop. He gives the number of dwell
ing houses at seventy, and the number of in
habitants at three hu ldred and sxty-three.
Now propose to give statistical account of
Brookville and Prallsyille, because it takes all
three places to make one School District, and
in that sense we are one.
BroolSville contains thirty two dwelling
houses and one hundred and twenty inhab-
itants also, one feed mill ; one saw Sitting

been telling about for the last three months
as being in the village of Stockton.
