The Dog Question seems to have pass ed to those things which are known only in history. However, the cause has had it's good effect. Several persons were summOned to appear at the Town Hall on a certain day. They appeared. Some paid their fines and departed, the richer for having done so; others appealed their cases. Still others were summon ed. They appeared; but, for some cause known only to some, the justice failed to appear. 4 motion was made to adjourn, and meet at the house of the justice, but the party said she was summoned to the Town Hall and should go no further, consequently sine was re- leased. The above speaks well for the town, in having such proficient officers of the peace.
