A CORRESPONDENT has called our attention
to the law relative to the removal Of barbed
wire fencing, which he construes as authoriz-
| ing the selectmen to remove such fencing as a
nuisance when erected within the limit Of the
| highway. In this connection attention is called
| to the fact that within four feet OF the much
| used sidewalk at the foot Of Clay hill, such a
| fence has been erected at a risk OF injury on
| dark nights to passers-by. We are inclined to
| consider this in the nature of complaint,
which we leave to the authorities for such
action as they may deem advisable.
| The beautiful and talented actress, Ida Van
Cortland, and the Tavernier Comedy Company,

| been specially engaged to open the festivities

Kindonner, who was "pulled in" for drunken
| ness. She followed her spouse even to the
| doors of the jail, making night hideous with
her yells. De CARO- and Kindonner were both
| taken before Justice Clark. The former claimed
| to have brought his beverage with him, while

freed on the payment of the usual fine of five
