Lois Of "Fan."-Last Friday night,
Haliow- r ZEN, after good folks had gone
to bed. party Of young men, supposed to
be mostly from the country, started TO
have some "fun." They carried Off boxes,
tore up bridges, upset stepping stones
and horse blocks, broke up wagons and
other vehicles, and destroyed or damaged
other property. They distracted large
quantity of rope and tied it 10 doors and
trees and across the streets from one end
of town to the other, having dead-Ioads of
"fun." A physician coming home from
visiting patient had to get off his horse
and cut his way through the ropes to get
along. More "fun." The boys then tore
down the Cleveland and Hendricks Nag
and pulled with it the chimney from the
house of Mrs. Julia Sheetz. This was
still funnier. Various other pranks were
INDUCED in, and the boys fairly rolled
with Stun" tl.4.l.
Now that the boys have had their fun,
all tllose people who were asleep Friday
night shonld have some fun too. The
way to have it would he for the Mayor TO
compel the boys to pay for the damage
! they caused, with Il small fine thrown in
10 make it funnier. 1t would be perfectly
side-splitting for the rest of the town to
see these funny fellows go down into
their pockets to the tune of about ten
dollars. Mr.. Mayor, please give us Il
chance to do some smiling.

Sidew nil3s.-An exchange speaks rs
folio concerning sidewalks, and we
think the language may well be applied
to Shepher,lstown: Sin estimating the
character, advantages and attractions of
town, BY way Of comparing 1t with
other towns, one of the very first points
of consideration is the means afforded for
passing through it, and the sidewalks
upon which pedestrians are dependent
first arrests attention, and lays the foun-
dation of the general judgment of place.
They are, if anything, more important in
this view than the pavemcnts OF the
streets; and If the visitor finds himself
stumbling over almost impossible stones,
having his feet caught in holes resulting
from defective bricks, or stumping his
toes against bricks which have been raised
out of their beds by the growth Of the
roots of trees through Il series of years of
neglect, the impression must be anything
but favorable to the town."
