There We're more drunken men i'm
town Monday and Tuesday than has
been seen for months past. 1t is a
mistaken idea that the same quantity
of liquor is consumed in selling by the
quart as when you have licensed
houses to retail by the drink. Before
license were granted Mr.. Lyon to sell
by the drink, an intoxicated man was
seldom seen upon the streets, but here
of late they are very common, and
their boisterOus conduct is very often
sive to the peace.abiding citizens
There were no less than twenty intOx-
icated men, all hurrahing and making
themselves very disagreeable upon the
streets each of these two days. We
don't know where our town marshal
was, but think he should make it a
point to attend to such cases. There
is nothing that speaks so unfavorabIe
to visitors as to enter 4 town and see
great crowds of drunk men congrega-
ted in front of store doors, and no one
seeming to take enough interest in the
peace and quietude of the town to
squelch their boisterous conduct. We
hope to see no more such sights, and
Mr.. Wise, our marshal, will have the
good will of all if he will attend to
the quietude of the town next public
day.

Last Tuesday morning, in the vicin-

ton of the county, young man
about twenty-five years of age, named
Ellis Chapman, accidently fell and
broke his neck while running after a
yearling calf, which he was driving
home from one of his neighbors. His
father was a short distance behind
him, and saw him fall, but did not
think he had hurt himself, but seeing
that he did not arise, went to where
he had fallen and found him perfectly
dead-his neck being broken. Mr..
Chapman was promising young man,
and his loss is shocking to the whole
community.

Cot. McIntire .E1plains.


Yesterday afternoon representative Of
TIE HERALD waitei upon Col. McIntire,
and asked him questions concerning what
had appeared in the afternoon papers, that
"While the workingmen we're docked for
rainy days he drew his full wages" He
said that he had been appointed by the
Council Superintendent of the work at Cool
Spring Reservoir, under the direction OF
the Chief Engineer, and It was his duty to
attend to the work, whether the weather
was wet or dry. The day spoken of and
yesterday, he was on the grounds, both
morning and afternoon, and examined the
work, and finding 1t impossible to resume
that day, would not permit such to
be attempted, which was saving
to the city. He has made overtime
repeatedly and has never made any extra
charge for the same. And In case OF
emergency he is expected to appear upon
the works, whether at night or in the day.
The Colonel having had several years rail-
road experience, states that he never knew
of superintendent or foreman of work
being "docked" for single day or hour on
account of rainy weather or on leave of alb
sence. The clerk on the works, or time
keeper. Mr.. George F. Stevens, is there
every day, wet or dry, and is employed to
keep the time, and It is therefore his busi-
ness to find out whether It is not made az
much as to know If 1t is made.

Serious Accident,

A correspondent of the Commercial" at
Massey's Cross Roads sends the following
account to that paper of serious accident
which occurred near Masseys:
On Tuesday morning Samuel Everett,
while threshing wheat on the farm of A. T.
Holt, Esq, near Massey's Cross Roads,
Kent county, Nd, undertook to replace .
small belt which had run off pulley on the
thresher. In doing 90 his arm caught in
the belt round the pulley in such manner
as to break the bones of the arm below the
elbow in two places, and to produce com
pound dislocation of the elbow joint. Drs.
Swain and Van Gasken, of Smyrna, were
compelled to smputare the arm above the
elbow. NJ. Everett is doing we'll. The acci-
dent was an unfortunate one as Mr.. Everett
has family dependent upon him for sup
port.
