boys, whose ages ranged from to 10 years,
armed with gimlets and kettles, were arrested
for breaking into railway cars to steal teer.

An IMPORTANT POINT.

Gentlemen In charge OF headquarters will
do well to observe the following extract
from the law. taken from the compilation
OF the Secretary OF the Commonwealth Of
date OF 1883:
The Common Council or Board OF Trus-
tees OF each city and town having more
than five thousand inhabitants shall appoint
for each ward as many yoting-places or
precincts as they may deem necessary, and
Shall prescribe and cause to be published
the boundaries Of such yJting-places or
precincts, and no uOter shall cast his ballot
SaUe Gt the UOting-plGce Of the precinct
rherein he ttUeS PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT
EVERY PERSON oFFERING TO VOTE SHALL
HAVE BEEN A Resident OF THE WARD IL
WHICH he OFFERS TO VOTE FOR THIRTY DAYS
NEXT PRECEDING ANY ELECTION AT WHICH
HE OFFERS TO VOTE; DrOUided that ,rhen
anu uOfer remOyeS from one card 10 an
other ,cthin thirty days Of an election il
shall be IdtctW tOr him 10 rOte IN the card
from tchich he removed until he has ac-
qured the right % vote in the ward to
which he removed; provided that in case
Of the lawful change or rearrangement OF
wards il shall be the duty OF the registrar
Of each ward TO transfer at once, and with
out application, every voter IN the ward In
which he is placed or thrown by such
change or Heterogeneous OF wards. and
thenceforth such voter shall vote in the
ward in which he is so placed or thrown
without having resided therein thirty days.
This means, or seems 10 mean, that IL
a nan changes his residence from one
card TO another card between Octo-
Der eth and November 9th he must vote at
