living in the vicinity insisted on making
a row with Robert Henderson a very
peaceable and orderly young man of that
neighborhoOd. Henderson proving too
much for one of the parties the other
took hand against him and the two
were handling him roughly, when out
side parties, among them R. B. Boyd, in
terfered to stop the melee. Not liking
the interference one of the instigators
of the trouble drew a knife on Mr.. B.,
but was gently reminded by car-pin
that it would be unsafe to press the
matter when it was concluded to drop it.
1t is intimated that the law will be
brought to bear upon these parties if
they continue to show disposition to
create disturbances in the neighborhood.

THE complaint being often made that
it takes large portion of all moneys

the last year the expenses were 24 per
cent. 1t is probable that this is about
what. it will average in all societies, and

sured that $9.75 of every ten dollars they
denote goes to the object for which it is
given.
