Street Lights.

SCreeI AlSuGS.
1t does not need very old man to
remember when there was not soil
tary street lamp in this village. Some
years ago two or three private citizens
put up lamps and lighted them at their
own expense. Now the village has
fifty-six street lamps which are lighted
all nights when there is no moon, at an
average expense of about So night.
One man has all the care of the lamps
filling, trimming, lighting and ex-
tinguishing. His route extends from
Fairbanks village to the Advent church
in Paddock village, and includes every
street in the village. Mr.. Elliott esti-
mates that he walks six miles in reach
ing all the lamps. He begins to light
at this season at four p. NJ, and has the
last lamp lighted by six. He begins to
blow out at $50, extinguishing them
all before midnight. If he has not
overestimated the distance, this gives
him twelve-mile constitutional
every evening, which in cold, stormy
nights is all the "bodily exercise" his
spirit Graves.
