The practice of certain parties
throwing empty boxes and other arti-
cle6 into the street left outside Of
their stores by our merchants is be-
coming entirely too frequent and the
perpetrators will in future, if detected.
be punished by fire or Imprisonment.
One evening last week some one
pushed several boxes in front of Jos.
r. Dsscon's store into the street, and
had they not been discovered by one
of our night policemen an accident
might have occurred. They also
pushed a box from in front Of L. Mil
ler's drug store, containing congress
water. Mr.. Miller heard the noise
and rushed out after them. He
"nabbed" them somewhere on Mill
street, and compelled them to march
back aud place the package where
they found it. They were old enough
to know better--at least they were
voters.

SMITHvILLE.-
Smithville is divided among three
townships, Eastampton, Southampton
and Lumberton. Hon. 81. B. Smith
desires that the village should be
within one township, the line to ruo
along the South Pemberton road to
Smalley's corner and from thence to
the road that leads through EVAN
vile. Should the people Of EVAN
vile and Birmingham desire to vote
10 Eastampton Mr.. Smith is willing
that both places should be embraced.
There is no political motive in this
idea, but is simply matter Of conve-
nience to the people of the vicinity.
The 81. B. Smith Dancing Assembly
has decided to have a grand masquer-
ade ball, on Thursday evening, Deem
Der 18th, 1881. As the invitations
have been largely extended through

ment have no doubt that it will be the
largest and finest party given in the
hall for number Of years. Arrange
ments have been made with the usual
costumer, Van Horo of Philadelphia,
to be at the hall during the afternoon
and evening ofthe party. Those wish
ish to engage costumes can do SO reas
onably as his prices are not at all ex-
brilliant. To guard against improper
admissions suitable provisions will be
made at the entrance door and those
receiving an invitation will be re-
quired to present them on entering.
A night school has been opened by
Mr.. Walter Higgins, in the public
school room, and large number Of
young men have taken advantage Of
this opportunity to improve their edu
cation. Over seventy scholars now
attend the public school of which Mr..
Higgins is teacher.
