solidatcd Coal and Mining Company,

solitlation of thcbusiness of the Cam

With the varied and extensive fl-
cilities of the new Company for min
ing, shipping and selling coal, its
energetic managers can hardly fail
of success If the Company willnow
purchase the splendid coal property
of the Crescent Coal and Salt Com
pany, ut West Columbia, which i'm
mcdiatcly adjoins the Camden Mines,
and which is to be sold by order of
Court during the summer; idwill bc

We are in favor of the repeal Of
every ordinance which cannot be
enforced, The filthy, sinking hog
pens scattered over our town, which
breed sickness and death, are not only
a disgrace to the town, but allowing
them to stand is absolutely criminal,
Again, if the ordinance against
drunkenness and obsccnity un our
streets cannot be enforced, then repeal
the law? There is hardly Il day but
what we see some man on the streets
rccling drunk, swearing, blackguar-
ding, &C., and forcing ladies into the
street, in order to avoid them. We
believe that wherever II man is found
drunk on the streets, he should be
arrested and confined until he gets
sober.
4 man by the name of Berry was
arrested by Sargent Grover, ON the
