There are a number of children and
boys in town that are making rapid strides
towards ruination. They have been steal
ing, drinking and drunk the present winter
1t is not confined to the Common people"
but takes in the "part their hair in the
middle aristocrat." Numbers of these boys
have been DRINK this winter, but it seems
to have been kept from their parents, but
no doubt if they were made acquainted
with the fact, they would declare it a
falsehood. Some of them have been steal
ing what ever they could, sell and buy
whiskey with the money. Money and 9TH
er valuables have been stolen, and num-
Der Of the guilty parties are known. An
example should be made of some them, by
sending them to the Reform Farm, as this
is the proper place for them to be placed.
Some of them would have been arrested
before this, but il was concluded to drop il
for the time being that less trouble would
be had in convicling, but they viii soon
have a hearing.

A Bout Rubber Boots.

Undue competition between manufactu-
rers has led to an extent of adulteration
and cheapening of material never before
known in sshe business. Crude rubber has
the quality of absorbing or of becoming
incorporated with very large quantity of
cheap and bulky substances, like amp
black, chalk, &c, which cannot be detected
by the uninitiated, and which impair the
durability OF the goods. People call for
low priced goods. not rejecting that low
pri es always mean low quality: The re.
suit is, they vast money on "wild cat''
