MIR. EDITOR: You have done good service
In calling attention to the non-enforcement OF
the ordinance in respect to the numbering Oh
carts, drays, etc. This neglect of duty on the
part of the city marshal should be no longer
excused. The ordinance was put in force I'M
der former administrations, however it may
have been in that Immediately preceding.
Sundry incidents falling under my own obser-
walton go to show the necessity OF the enforce
ment and this is sufficiently obvious OF itself.
First, it is almost impossible to bring to JUS
tice drivers who overload and abuse their horses,
because they cannot be readily identified, A
short time since the writer saw an overloaded
drag stuck fast on West Commercial street, the
driver beating his horses so that the blows
could be heard many rods off At length
passing jigger with two horses was hitched on,
and the four failed to start the load. Two
horses more were attached, and the six had
pretty hard work to haul the enormous burden!
Now here was case of gross and outrageous
abuse of animals. Yet there was no sign or
mark on the team to identify it beyond doubt
About all the ordinary observer could swear TO
would be that one horse was light red the other
a darker red, and that the driver had very red
face, long whiskers, and wore a checked shirt.
But when metamorphosed for appearance in
court the driver would be quite unacceptable,
and no case could be made out.
Another instance. Last season, just after
Commercial street had been cleaned up,
a lot of dirt carts were engaged in hauling
tenacious clay from the Boston & Maine ex-
cavations to fill in a wharf. Not cart had
tail board, and in consequence the street was
Uttered with Jumps and scatterings of the clay
which in every rain made sticky mud and in
fair weather sticky dust. Here again the1e
were no numbers on the carts, and Identified
ton was almost impossible
Not long since the writer saw a dirt cart
driven with perfectly inexcusable carelessness
against a cOuntryman's wagon, breaking it
down and in pieces. Here again there was no
number, and the brutal driver went on with
hoarse laughter at his exploit In this case
there were several carts, and on deposting
their loads the drivers exchanged teams, 80 that
the countryman, who stood by on their return
could not tell which was which,
All the early part of this spring the dfay
teams on West Commercial street for a con-
siderable distance abandoned the street and
drove on the gravel sidewalk, the wheeling be-
ing comparatively good, until the walk was
rutted and torn all to pieces. Here again, it was
difficult to identify. Remonstrance in all such
cases is.vain. 1t gets only imprecations in re-
ply. In most other towns the carts, drays, ETC.,
are all numbered. The expense is not much
The convenience and advantage will be, as in
times past they have been found to be, very
considerable. l call for the prompt enforce
ment of the ordinance. PUBLIC GOOD.

PROFITABLE SPORT--Last week certain
specimens of this city went to Brownfield on
fishing excursion. They met with fair success
and were merrly fishing along the banks OF
the stream when the proprietor of field upon
which they were trespassing made his appear
ance and rudely ordered them away. They
protested against his want of courtesy, and
explaining that the agile trout was their object,
logically added that to catch trout it was nee
essary to fish in streams, that to fish in streams
it was necessary to stand on somebody's land,
that as they had no land of their own they must
use the land of others. This perfe It chain OF
reasoning had no effect upon the hard-hearted
objector, and with many naughty words he ord
cred them to leave. This they fatty refused to
do. Then he offered to let them remain for
dollar apiece They rejected the proposal with
scorn and contumely The landowner drew
back aghast, reflected a moment, and then Of
fered the sportsmen fifty cents each to leave
his grounds and trespass upon those of his
neighbor The boys were highly tickled with
the idea of going trouting and getting paid for
it, but firmly declined the munifcent offer.
The tempter thereupon withdrew, much won
dering how any man could be so imbecie as to
neglect an opportunity to make fifty cents, and
the boys continued their sport for the remain
der of the day
