down and in general they are very
commendable, by keeping out drilk-
ing saloons and other Objectionable
features. Bat sometimes the regula-
tons SAVIOR of bigotry, as when they
say there must be no bathing on
Sunday. Just how much worse a
man will be if he takes a Sunday
morning wash in the ocean than if
he did it in bath tub | hav'nt been
able to find out, but suppose the 10
cal authorities have got the calcula-
ton down to a dot. At one IF these
resorts early Sunday morning some
gentlemen were taking q bath pre-
paratory' to dressing for breakfast
and church. One of the early rising
dignitaries was shocked, and going to
the shore ordered them to come out.
They refused. He threatened to car
ry off their clothes if they did not in
stantly obey. They mildly but firmly
informed him that if he dared touch
an article, they would catch him and
throw him into the surf even if they
.ad to chase him through the village
to catch him. As the costume they
wore was conducive to rapid running
and they looked as if they meant
what they said, and he had on his
good clothes and didn't want to scan
dalize the community by the specta
Gle of four nearly naked beings in full
hue and crv after him, he concluded
10 let the clothes alone, and satisfied
his conscience by calling them men
of sin and children of Belial.
ODDS AND ENDS.
Ali thieves are not rogues. A
poor fellow was before one of our
Judges the other day, charged with
stealing some brass boxes from the
railroad company for which he work
cd. BE confessed it but said he had
not been paid for weeks, lie had no
money and on going home found his
little daughter crying because she
WAS 30 hungry. He could not stand
that, and took the boxes and sold
them to get food for the little girl.
The Judge suspended sentence" "
and would haye been brute it he
had mt. &C.. "A whale, weighing $4,000
pounds, and measuring 60 feet in
length, has been on exhibition in
Patterson. Whales are getting com
mon and the show didn't draw, except
in the way of flies and mosquitoes.
The proprietors got in debt for board
at the hotel. They offered to pay in
whale chops, aud whslebone frltters,
and blubber sauce. The landlord
could mt see it, although he smelt 1t,
as all the town did. An attachment
was gotten out against the whale, and
a constable put in possession. No"
he wants to know what to do with it,.
He does not dare to leave it, and he

wife says if he has any attachment
for her, he will throw up his attach
ment for that whale. He says he
will "throw up" everything else, if
he has to stay within 100 feet of the
vile thing. We are waiting now to
hear OF the suicide of a Patterson
official. -. .Picnics are ripe in July
and August. There was one on Stat.
en- Island feS days ago. Life,
Truth and Justice Association" which
is ~ new aud novel name, that il
ought to he patented. The seekers
for Llfe, Truth and Justice, are col
ored, and they didn't propose to al
low any white partakers in the trinity
of virtues. Some pale faces intruded
into the festivities, fight ensued and
rszors flashed AS thickly MS diamonds
at Long Branch ball. A dusky
maiden nearly slsshed the Life out
of one of the interlopers, and was
hauled before a Justice, who, after
the testimony was all in, concluded
