Although Columbia County did nobly in the
recent election and gave unusually large ma
iorities to the successful candidates, Orange
township does not deserve much credit as re-
CARDS the vote for Register and Recorder. The
Democrats of that township deserted their ticket
and voted almost solidly for the Republican
candidate. This sort of business is utterly in
delensibe and will undoubtedly return 10
plague those who were responsible for it.

With all the improvements and added beau
ties Of our town, there are still defects that de-
mand immediate attention. Iron streetnorth OF
Main, is in Il disgraccful condition. There are
heaps of stone, cinder, ashes, and what-not lying
in the road. and the walks are no walks at all
In wet weather the place whore the pavement
ought to be is almost impossible. The citizens
of that portion of the town should take some
measures to have the street put in passabc
condition before the frosts of winter lock up the
ground.
Another nuisance is to be found on Third
street below Market, whore an old pump and a
halfiiled cellar oblige foot.passengers to walk
in the gutter in order to get ty them. The
street has been in that condition for a long time
and as yet the owner of the property seems to
be taking no steps to remove the nuisance. The
time may shortly come when forbearance will
cease to be virtue, and notice is hereby given
that unless something is done very soon the
property owners near there will apply to the
Town Council to lave the distractions removed
They will not submit to this imposition through
another winter

-JEssE PoMERoY's CASE, The case of
Jesse Pomeroy, the boy murderer continues
to be "a very exciting topic in Boston society
and politics. A committee of women,
which was appointed some days ago to as
certain the opinion of Mr. Rice, since elect
ed governor, ON the subject, has reported
that he told them that he could not pledge
himself upon that or any other question
which might restrict him in the conscien'
tous discharge of his duties in the contin-
gencics which might arise, but that "upon
general principles he saw no reason why
Pomeroy was in any respect different from
other criminals, or why he should receive
exceptional treatment"
