able damage to the streets by washing out
On Third street the water works company
had opened trenches for the reception of the
pipes, and these had not been filled. The
water from the hill came down in perfect
torrent, and the trench was 80 filled up and

DIABoLICAL DEED.
Sunday morning when Mr.. Jas. Doyne
who lives on the South Hill, got up and went
out to milk his COW he was very much sur.
prised to find fearful cash in her side q
foot and half long, 10 which human arm
might with ease have been thrust. He went
for COW doctor, and when he returned other
| neighbors had begun to stir and slowly the
| fact was developed that six COWS bad beer
cut and slashed till they presented sicken-
| ing sight. The weapon-used was evident by
| a broadaxe, as the wounds plainly showed
| that common axe could not have been used
| This theory is strengthened by the testimony
| of a boy named Orne, who says that as he
was standing at Kilty's corner about 1C
| o'clock the night before, a man passed by
with broad axe in his hand
| The man was of medium size

of his coat being turned up and his hal

The poor men can ill afford the loss of their
COWS, and it is hoped that some means will
be discovered by which they may be compen-

WANTED.
The citizens of Saltwater want night
and Sunday operator at the central telegraph
office. This is the only thing that we are be-
hind in and it seems absurd that we should
be without one. There IS hardly a night
and never Sunday, but what some import
ant message has to lay over ten, twelve OIL
twenty hours. 1t is absolutely necessary
that we should have one, and we think the
company ought to furnish one.
