The Weather,


Tie weather for the month of March was
somewhat remarkable here. Scarcely any rain
fell anl not until the last two days did we have
true specimen cf an sold-fashioned March
wind. Nearly the whole of the month the days
were warm and the nights quite cool, Oft en- bor-
dering on frost! 1t was not such weather as
would push vegetation, consequently our gar
dens are a little backward, and the corn planted
early does not show WE'LL II has been a good
month for work, however, which will .'tell''
hereafter. There is an old Proverb running
thus: "Afog in March brings frost in May"
If that is verified look out for frost in May
for we had frequent fogs in March. A fine rain
fell here on Tuesday"

Stop the Sling Shots.

otop the sling Shots.
II there is nuisance in this town that should
be suppressed, we think it is the use of sling
shots. Last Saturday evening, just after dark,
while number of colored boys and men were
passing down, Main Street to Hot supper,
gwen III the public school House in rear of the
Ilnsley residence, stone was sent from one
OF those sling shot nuisanocs through our
kitchen window, with sufficient force to either
Kill Or greatly injure any person whom it might
have struck, even at that distance. The Town
Councils Of other towns have taken active meas
ures to stop this dangerous nuisance and we sug-
gest that our efficient City Fathers consider the
matter. We could state number of instances
IN which mischief has been done by the,n lately.
