A Suggestion.

Editor Register Thepeople who live
in the country have been discussing
the following, and now offer it To
your Town authorities, hoping they
will act upon it, and put it into
practical operation. Here it is;
John Robinson's Circus exhibits in
Point Pleasant, next Saturday, aud
it is proposed that the Town author
tiles station gate-keeper at each
road leading into Point Pleasant,
who shall collect 5 cents from every
man, woman, or child, who comes Ia
town on that day, to go into the town
treasury. BY this means q large
revenue would be obtained for the
town, and it would be unnecessary to
spot every countryman who comes
to town and arrest him for some i'm
oginary oiTcnse, and take him before
the Mayor to be fined, in ordcrto keep
up the expenses Of tho town.
