Sheriff Corwin's little six year old

the wrist. Drs. Small and Michael set
the fractured limb.
Now, as spring with its ethereal mild
ness is about to bloom, the new Town
Council will do well to start a campaign
against defective street crossings, worm
out pavements and dirty streets. Start
the good work then keep it up through
the whole summer.

The amendment to the game law pass
ed by the Legislature makes it unlawful

A man with a wife and family that will
do such a trick, exciting the whole neigh
borhood to the highest pitch Of frenzy
and almost driving its inhabitants into a
mob and the lynching of some person,
for crime not committed, ought to be
either sent to the Asylum or taken out
to the woods and shot.

G. F. Brooke, ST., D. W. Cooper and
Jos. Fassnacht, were selected at the
Council meeting ON Monday evening last
as the Street Committee for the ensuing
year, and Benz. Neal, jr., appointed
Street Commissioner. It is the intention
of the present Council to do all work I'M
der the contract system, which is the
right way and will save money to the
Corporation. The new Council is making
a good start.
The penalty against an Assessor not
administering an oath to persons who
list property for taxation, is very strict.
The following is the law: Section 1921.
1.-THE Assessor is authorized and requir-
ed to administer an oath to every person
upon whom he calls to list property for
taxation. Should the Assessor neglect
to administer such oath, for every such
offense he shall be fined not less than
fifty nor more than two hundred dollars,
unless such person declines to take such
oath, or is unable from sickness or abb
~sence." 1t is said there are a number of
persons about Eaton who manage to
shirk out of the swearing business every
year. We suppose it must be because
they religiously believe in swearing "not
at all, according to the scriptures.
Good schools are a great public bless
ing and by nootheI means can we SO
wisely and effectually discharge our OBJ
legations to posterity. So long as the
children of the mechanics and working
men have an opportunity of educating
themselves as thoroughly and convent
emily as they are able to do in the schools
of this city of to-day, SO long will the
principle and characteristics of our coun-
try be perpetuated. Any movement di-
rected against the unimpafred maintain
ance of the high standard attained by
our schools, is q menace to the liberty of
every poor child. Impair the education
al facilities of the common. people and
the aggressions and expressions of the
moneyed ~monopolies and aristocratic
classes cannot be successfully resisted.
1t is worth thousands OF dollars to Eaton
to-day to know that We enjoy areputa-
ton of having good schools. 1t gives
high character to our town, and in the
teyent OF new industries being persuaded
to come here, our schools will be sue
~cessful inducements for people to locate
here to that extent that it would be of in
ealculable advantage to the community.
