WHO Is RESPONSIBLE.
Hit HIM Where He Lives.

En-. tiRApurc:-I wish to ask few
momentus and vital questions which
hope will reach every man where he
lives. that he may answer intelligently
and conseientiously at the bar of his
own judgement.
That he may clearly see his own sta
tuS.
And think it will not hurt those
who are in authority; who wish to in
culcate such principles as will secure
inviolate property, health, character,
liberty and life. to well consider the
following questions:
Is every sentiment OF humanity dead !?
Has all moral obligation lost It's power !!
Has honor. based on truth and COM
mon justice been forgotten, or is it only
a myth of the past?
Is the vendor Of intoxicant beverages
more culpable than the authorities who
licens.. them to sell?
Are the authorities who issue the
license any worse than those who pc
tition them to grant such license!
Are they not all associates in fellow
ship and sweet communion with each
other. in making and purpetuating
aud crime.
Is the man who gets drunk: muir.
ders his wife: throws the babe i'll the
fire. aud with butcher knife kills his
little innocent tye-year-old daughter.

Al the request Of many friends. especially
anon. farmers, hereby Announce myself
an independent candidate for Horse, Cow,

slur on any candidate or On the Mayor
or Board. but 10 show wherein real
evil exists: and now that the playing
Of marbles by boys has bren regulated
IN advance of the season, wonld it not
be well for the Mayor and Board to
take hold of real evil, and one that
exists n0r. and has existed to the loss
and annoyance OF farmers for years in
the past. Here it seems Is room for
the formation OF new Office, and one
of necessity unless some better means
can be devised to avert the evil. Far
merS should in justice he protected
against loss and annoyance by stock
running at large in the place: for be
it remembered, they. the farmers
are the entire support of our town.
Not many days since missile was
hurled by farmer. not having the pa
thence of Job. at COW found at his
wagon. which missed the mark. and
passed through one of my Windows to
the loss of about two dollars, but the
man, whom pitied, came forward and
settled the damage. thought the
town at least indirectly responsible.
am aware that my announcement is
somewhat premature, but should the
office of Horse, Cor, ai,d Hog-peiter, lie

ton, | will arm myself with a good
olack-snake whip. and supply myself
with quantity of rocks and whip or
rock every "critter' or beast out of

The way. what about the canine species,
1r dogs of our town, should they not
be declared a nuisance and the nui
;ance abated. or should they not be
heavily taxed? A few days since
witnessed the pitiful condition Of a lit
tie girl who had been severely bitten

fearful disease Of hydrophobla is well
known. Various are the reasons why |!
dogs should not be permitted to run at

the author no escape from the dogmat-
