it not been for the presence of Sheriff Ram

or young men in the place seem bent on get
ting drunk and disturbing almost every enter

we believe that if or sheriff would
make an example of few of the
leaders, by having them board for thirty
days at the expense of the county, that these
disturbances would not be so frequent This
last affair. however, was not wholly confined
to the boys. Men engaged in it who ought
to know better and show better example

Ienbled on Saturday evening After fine
Iolo by Mr., Paul, with piano accompaniment
by Mrs. Paul, Mr., King introduced DIR. George
B. LOring NJ. G., from Massachusetts,, who pro.
ceeded to read character sketch somewhat
dramatic in form, showing up some phases of
life in the rural districts of New England. It's
truthiulness to nature and fact was recognized
aud enjoyed by the many present, who were
familiar with the section of country in which
the scene depicted was laid, while, as IL was
evidently intended as a covert satire on parties
and proceedings of more Importance and wider
Interest than those Of the country town meet.
Ing so graphically described, its showing up of
certain human foibles which are peculiar to no
locality was highly relished by all who heard
II. At its conclusion Mr.. King called on Mr.
John Tweedale, who read short sketch, "The
Shocking Bad Hat" and in response to per.
Sistent encore gave Paddy the Piper" IN which
he initiated the Irish brogue most admirably.
The usual season of pleasant social converse
succeeded the close of these exercises.

MANY signed the pledge.
