one Of the most pleasant evenings that has
been ours to enjoy for 30, these many

high carnival, until late candle light, when
We reluctantly bid our very entertaining

lsPRovEMEsrs upon our public thor

Clear drainage Is Of the first importance to

TnE sad accident which we detail in an
other lart Of our present issue, and which
resulted in the death Of a most estimable
young man on the 10th, by falling from the
train, should admonish all railroad EN-
ployees, and others who may travel on cars,
of the danger attending the passage from
one car to another. People become too
careless in the matter, and the wonder is,
not that this young man was killed, but
tina. such accidents do not occur almost ev-
cry day. Many persons pass continually,
from car to car, while they are in motion
just because they are at liberty to do so,
and not because business requires il Of them
In the case Of pool Boyd, duty compelled
him to be on the platform Of the cars, but
in all probability, had he been more care
ful OF his footing, while in position 80
dangerous, he might not have lost his life,
We trust tnat the lesson taught, though a
terrible one, will cause all Of us to be more
careful of our life or limbs.

Trustees are putting into eulverts, from
the spring on the Helm farm, to the centre
Of our town, and il would not need repairs
in many years. Pure, good water, is es-
seniial to health, and this simple pipe
would afford an abundance for all our citi-
rcns. The money expended in digging
wells and keeping them in repair, would
nearly pay for this inexhaustible supply OF
as good water as ever ran from the earth
Many Of our citizens, during a dry season,
have to haul water mile or more, and wa
ter that stands in barrels, during warm
weather, remains pure but short time
We hope some enterprising citizen will

our town with water in the mode herein

Board Of Trustees, but no definite conclu-
sion has been arrived at.

THE folly, not to say the careless and
reckless habit Of leaving horse unhitch-

demonstrated the other day, for the second
time lately, which folly reporter Of the

up to farm house in buggy, and left his
animal united. A little girl was left to
