UPON THE NECESSITY TOR P9Q-
TECFISG S0iIETY BIZ THE Pun
{SuNENT OF CHINIXALS.

My attention has been callel to
eraParticles that appeared in the
Clinton Republican, in which a
reac hue AMI cry is made over
Court Expenses, as they are call
ed Loud complaints are made that
the County has been subjected to
the payment OF costs in the admin
istration Of the criminal law, and
the punishment Of its violators.
A WHOLESOME PUBLIC SERVICE
WANTED.
/ am not q politician, nor do
take an interest in the success of
any particular candidate, but 1, in
common with other right thinking
citizens and taxpayers, have some
regard for a wholesome public SEN
timent, and an Interested in a
prompt and faithful execution of
the laws, and desire tC be protected
in the enjoyment of life, liberty and

burglar, aud the thief. That per-
son, whether in or out of Office, or

Gus foe to society, and should be
condemned by all law-loving citi-
zens. [ have been referred to part
of an opinion Of the Supreme Court
of this State, delivered by jeremiah
5. Black, then Chief Justice, which
is directly in point. He says :
''DoubtlesS- very large amount

Our Boston friend was one of the
farmers guests, and after thanking
his host with genuine feeling, he
handed the farmer his card, telling
him that u bed, knife and fork and
spoon were ready for him whenever
he should visit Boston. The farmer
looked upon The card and then at
the presenter thereof; gazad again
and again at one and the other, and
having apparently made up his mind
he said
why, Willie, is this really You pn
The peculiar smile that accom-
panied the inquiry threw thir'y-three
years aside rs one would fold back u
curtain. The brothers had met af-
ter this long interval. the name on
the card being the direct cause of
the discovery. When the train left,
Il short time afterwari, it carried
one passenger less to New York
OF course the hrotheEs had Il pleas
ant time in exchanging their respect
i've remini SCIENCES.
But more interesting feature Of
our story Is to come. Oar Boston
friend had the company of his broth
Ell to New York on his way home.
Having some hours TO spend in the
city prior TO the sailing of the Ston-
ington steamer, they took saunter
around the streets to note the temp
tations spread out for Christmas
presents. "A lady's reticule Hit the
taste of the Boston brother, and lie
determined 10 buy it and send it to
his slSter-ln-law in Pennsylvania.
They entered the stOreto make the
purchase, and a nice Russia leather
portmonaie WAS added as a Christ
mas remembrance to Joe, which
was the name OF the Pennsylvania
brother. The proprietor said the
names of the parties who were to re-
ceive the gifts could be put on the
satchel and wallet at little expense
or delay, and the suggestion was
hailed as an Improvement on the
value Of the articles. The names
were written out and handed to the
proprietor Of the store, who remark
ed that lie also owned the surname.
This led to conversation, to eX-
PLANTATION, and finally to the discov-
cry that the three long separated
brothers had there and then met
face to face. 1t would require an
abler pen than ours to describe the
feelings entertained by the trio.
We are permitted to explain thus
far : The third brother had been
a little will in his youth, and
had entered the serviae of Queen
Victoria, in which he had remained
during eleven years. His regiment
had been ordered to Canada. and be-
ing deslrous of tasting freedom, he |
had improved a chance of stepping !
over the line. For fifteen years
past he has been III business in New
York, and has had worldly success
corresponding with that of his elder
brethren.
This is our story. II has not the
flavor of deeply exciting romance or
free imagination, but it is true, and
as wonderful as it is yeracious.

SOME INTERROaATORIEs
to these pretended economizers ::

to these pretended economizers
A thief enters the barn Of far
mer and steals valuable horse, and
it would cost the county two or
three hundred dollars to pursue,
arrest and punish the thief. Shall
he go unpunished ? Well, the far
mer is rich, he can afford to lose his
horse, and the county ought not to
be put to this great expense to pun
ish the thief. Let the villain 90.
a barn or house is burned by an
incendiary, or an unsuccessful at
tempt is made to burn a house or
barn. 1t may cost the county $500
or 81, 900 TO punish the criminal,
and keep him in the penitentiary
1t is costing too much, the county
cannot afford to pay out SO much
for the sake of furnishing a scoundrel
to crafty A. B., who has lost his
barn. Better let the rascal run, he
will never come back again.
Again, the daughter of a worthy
citizen is seduced, and, in order to
hide her shame, she is persuaded to
submit to the nefarious devices of
an abortionist, and death is the re-
suit. Well, she cannot be restored
to life, and it will cost the county
81, 900 to prosecute this offender
against law and morals, for one of
the most heinous offences known TO
the law. Let him go sceot free,
and encourage him to continue his
diabolical practices and murder
some more of your daughters. The
expense is too great, and the value
Of human life is not to be compared
to the value of dollars and cents.
Let this sentiment prevail ard
nave 1t understood that ScOund!eis
are not to 5e punished 10y reason Of
the expense to the county End vii
lains will abound, tramps will seek
Clinton county as a safe harbor for
The perpetration of crime. But let
.he contrary sentiment predominant.

'eceive their deserts at the hands of |

New York Dramatic Company.

The New York Dramatic Com
pany, an organization composed of
ladies and gentlemen, all artists in
their different lines Of business,
have amused our citizens since last
Thursday night. 1t is really re-
freshing to have good company
come among us, as the country is
full of frauds, but the company
playing here at present, to go by
the verdict of the people, is first
class in every detail. They opened
at Alpine Hall last Thursday night
with the "Octoroon," which, al
though being an old play, we have
never seen produced better. Fri
day night they played the hidden
Hand" Saturday night, Grip Van
Wrinkle" Monday night, "Ten
Nights in n Bar Room" Tuesday
night, the ever popular drama of
"Uncle Toms Cabin" and tonight,
wednesday, they present to our
citizens, for the first time in this
city, and with all the necessary
paraphernalia, scenery, etc, the
great play Of the day, entitled the
1.-TWO Orphans" We advise all
who really wish to pass a pleasant
evening, to attend the entertain

On "Wednesday of last week n
very sad accident occurred on Fifth
street, near Washington avenue.
Three small children, one of whom
was George, n three year old son OF
James Walker, were at play near
wood rack, when, by some means,
the rack, which was standing on its
side, was pushed over, and little
George thrown to the ground, face
down, with the rack pressing his
face into the saw-dust. The other
little ones were frightened, and ran
away, leaving the poor helpless
child alone. They being too small
to apprehend the danger, said moth
ing of what bad happened, and
when o Mr.. Hasten was driving
rast>au hour later, he discovered
the little fellow and at once remov-
ed the rack, but it was too late, as
he had suffocated aud was COM
pletely life'ess, his spirit having re-
turned to his maker.
