large scale, and his sales are in proper

Fire.-Last Wednesday night about
~ o'clock fire was discovered Ia the
office Of the Bristol Courier, which
Is Ia the Nickels building, corner OF
Main and 4th streets. The timely dis
covery OF the fire resulted in its eX-
tlnguishment before much damage
was done to the building. Our neigh
Dor OF tho Courier sustained considera-
BILE damage TO his material, conside-
rable amount OF paper being burned
and his type pied and covered with
mud and trampled under foot, from
which cause he was unable to issue
his paper last week. His loss, which
is fully covered by insurance, Will
probably reach $500. He is q man OF
energy and will have things working
smoothly again as soon as order can
be restored from chaos. We think the
building was fired by an incendiary
for the purpose of plumber, Had it
occurred later in the night the whole
building would now DO mass of
smouldering ruins. Our citizens would
do well to keep a sharp lookout after
night, as we have plenty OF thieves
prowling around in this vicinity
Underneath the Courier Office is the
large grocery house of Williams &
keebler, who, had the building burn
ed, would have been heavy losers, as
we understand they carry no insur-

Four weeks hence and you have to
elect a new Board of Mayor and AL

lance to the prOpeTty-hOlders of Bris-
toll as to whom they elect. This cleo
ton is to decide whether your proper
ty 10 worth 90 cents on the dollar or
full price, Already has our taxes been
levied so high upon our property that
no person Is willing to sell at the low
price, and no person is willing to buy
because the taxes are so high. Now.
what are you going to do? There is a
bonded debt and notes due by this cor
poration of nine or ten thousand dol
lars, aud all will be due next October.
You have to meet this debt in n way
that will not render your property
worthless. The court has decided that
you shall pay your debt : that IL all
right, but the court has no right to say
how much you shall levy to pay this
debt yearly. 1t is clearly unconstitu-
tienal. You can lead the horse to
water, but can't make him drink-so
the court may command us to pay,
but can't say how much any one year.
Now, | say let the citizens select
seven of the best financiers we have,
who manage their own business well,
and who are in favor of protecting
the taxpayer against the bondh0lder.
Men who are willing to make a fair
provision for this bonded debt at a low
rate of interest upon 20 year bond,
which shall be submitted to vote of
the people, and If ratified, set part
such assets of the taXables as will pay
the interest and raise sinking fund
to pay part of the debt every year
Do this and you may live in Bristol
reject it, and your property will be
consumed in taxes. Call n meeting at
once and let us select Board who
will protect the taxpayer.

The Hog BOuncer,

The above is the name of simple device
invented by the cattle-yard men at West
Albany to induce hogs to move from the
cars in which they are transported into the
yard. Pigs, as rule, are not of accommo-
dating dispositions and when it comes to
prevailing upon car load of them to move
along upon narrow gangway, the first ones
that start upon the plank are apt to decline
to proceed further, and 30 block the egress
of the rest. This neeessitates an astonish.
ing amount of patience and beating, besides
unlimited strong language, and OF course
often delays cattle train for some time.
The new invention for persuading the ami
NAL to pass on is the hog bouncer, made by
bringing one end of the gangway plank to
firm support then under the other end,
two double car-springs are placed. pow
erful lever and spring catch complete the
device. Before the car door is opened the
platform is carried down 30 as to compress
the springs by the lever, and the catch is
hooked The hogs are then allowed to pass
along the platform, and so long as they
move along properly, the plank is undis-
turbed !; but as soon as crowd congregates
and vociferously objects to sgoing farther,
the catch is sprung. One end of the plat
form flies about three feet upward, and the
result is shower of living porkers shot
over the heads and upon the soft bodies of
the drove. They are seldom injured, but
vastly astonlshed and it ls needless to add
that the blockade is at once dispelled.- -
