We have Just finished taking our annual

ment better than it generally is at this
time OF the year. Owing to this fact our
business is somewhat better than it usual
ly was, for we miss no sales, having an I'M
broken assortment. We think the pros
pect looks little brighter the coming
year for our house, though we cannot say
how it will be generally. Don't think

Vandalism on the Island.

Squire Miller, over on the Island,
has a fine flower and vegetable garden,
and he takes just pride in it. The boys
ofthe neighbOrhood seem to look upon
it as a legitimate subject of prey, and
accordingly, yesterday, three small
boys whose parents reside near were
caught stealing and DESTROYING melons
and grapes, and the Squire very sensi-
blv concluded 10 make an example OF
them. They were arrested and arraigned
before Squire Caldwell, but the father
Of one OF them paid Tor the damage
done and executed punishment himself.
The effect of the formality employed
will be wholesome to the lads, however.
