Yesterday couple of soiled doves were in
limbo from the High Board Fence. They had a
quarrel out there and they have been charging
each other with larceny. They think the Gala

their appetites they deputed messenger to go

| as at a late hour he had not turned up, it being
his last day in durance. They will have to wait
for the fruit.
1t appears as if the herd law in this city was a
dead letter, and the police are powerless to sup
press it, especially on the outskirts of the city
A well known resident on the south hill had his
rest badly disturbed by these bovines coming
around his premises, and the way the made
things rattle in his wood shed and around his
house, forced him to get up, when he had only
one garment on, and drive them away. Cattle
should be well fenced at night and not allowed
out until certain hour.

I on the south hill are making sad ravages in the
\ gardens of their neighbors. Mr.. E. S. Brown

kind Of apple to get ripe for couple of years,
and so far has been unsuccessful. This year
there were quite number of large apples on,
but the boys have got them all, except three, and
he does not expect to have them. Being new
seeding he values them highly. His other fruits
| have suffered equally. Could the culprits be
found it would be only right to make examples
of tn en-.
Last night there was large attendance at the
Hudson roller skating rink to witness the exhi-
| bition skating by Frank L. Croker, the cham
| pon roller skater. A large number went from
Saltwater, and still larger number will doubt

ing took the large audience by Storm and his
dude get up and misfortune as a skater were
| Just the thing. Get up large party and let
everybody attend. Go and enjoy yourselves.
| The entrance fee is the same usual, being 25
cents. Those who were there last evening got
| the worth of their laughter in money. His fancy
skating was immense.
In going through the prison yard yesterday, we
| felt curious to know what progress was being
made in the new portion now in course of con-
struction. The front part has just got above
the second floor, while the rear portion, in which
are the cells, is up to the top of the fifth or
highest tier and the center portion at the top of
the fourth. The front part, in which will be the
tower, will, when finished, according to the plans
shown is to be exceedingly handsome. The
facades are of a new design having a rather fiat
arch with peculiarly castellated appearing caps.
The main tower, TO the top Of the railing, will be
102 feet in heighth, the top part being finely pro-
portioned, making the front complete. In the
third story of this part will be the library, which
will be supplied with excellent selection of
books The floor will be of iron, ard the build
ing throughout will be fire proof Every thing
is the very beet, and every mopern improvement
has been introduced. The state did wisely in
making the grant of $500, 900 for the town of ten
years, as the 100000 yearly grant would only
have allowed them to have put mp second class
buildings, whilst now they having a structure
that will last for century. Thanks to Senator
D. VI. Sabin for the present efficient work.
