The borough authority have put 9
fence along the bank north of town
to keep people from falling off the
road. But what if a man fall against
the fence and is hurt, should the
borough be sued for having the fence
there! or if man upse. on the bank
on the side opposite to the fence,
should the borough be sued for hav.
ing bank there on which a wagon
may upset! The public should not be
held responsible for the work OF
fractions horses, careless people, and
men that gawk off to the side of the
road.

Editor Shelby of the Bloomfield
.7dpocate believes that there is some.
thing peculiar about the temperance
movement iii Perry county, or he
would not have published the follow
ing editorial in his paper OF Aug. 81
1852. From the outset In this cam
paign We want one thing distinctly
understood. We do hot wish tine
democrats to appoint a temperance
chairman of their county committee
and then run a combination-that is,
we do not wish the chairman to run
the temperance issue and have a
companion with him, who carries
whisky and uses it where it Will do
the most good. We give due notice
that a repetition of that work will
be exposed and the names of the
parties published irrespective of per-
sons. 1t will not mend the matter to
say afterward that shat was the only
thing they were ashamed of. Gentle
men, run the campaign squarely and
give us no sickly hypocrisy.
Men are only full grown boys, and
when the little boys in town brought
a large foot ball to the place, every.
body became interested and the big
boys-the men-could not refrain

was in attendance, and laughed al

his part as precisely as if he com

of the contestants was like the rush
of veterans to battle Henry Hawk
ran with light foot and kicked as
if he had been commissioned to send
the ball into space. William Rodgers
ran with the speed that can hardly bt
