THE SMALL Boy. The small boy is
a painful necessity. Without him the
country would in a few years go to
the "demnition dogs" Like the old
farmers burnt maple sugar, he is
"good for various uses" He is both n
blessing and curse, and in this par
ticular village he must be summed up
as principally curse. He is noisy, law
less, saucy. He rGshes in where angels
dare not tread, and he cares no more
for the threats of older people than he
does for the war in Egypt, and he gets
worse every day. He has q sharp
sense of the ludicrous, and he sees
nothing nor nobody that does not ex-
actly meet his approval without as
sailing it in some shape. In short, he
is nuisance. The Island Pond small
boys have been allowed to become
regular terrors, but they are near the
end of their rope, judging by the
course pursued with them last week.
There is rather simple minded man
living in a neighboring town who
comes occasionally to this village and
he appeared on our streets last week
Friday morning. A crowd of small
boys hooted at him, chased him, and
threw stones, sticks and mud at him
until officer Bonett appeared and ar
rested two of them while the others
fled. After considerable discussion the
boys were released, but it is the last
time they will get off for people are
tired of the deviitry the small boys
cut up in this town. They frequent
public halls and Railways and act Sc
bad that people, ladies especially, feal
to pass by them and it is time to stor
it, and if we can judge by what folks
say, it will be stopped by sending q
few of them to Vergennes to learn
what it appears they can't learn here
manners. Yet the boys are not
wholly to blame. The parents are in
fault as we'll. They don't know how
the boys act away from home and the
proper way is to keep them at home
No man should be too weak to con
troll twelve-year old boy, but if such
is the case, tie tho boy up in the eel
lar and nail Mp the door. The path
way the Island Pond small boy il
treading Is sure road to destruction
and an aerial dance on nothing in
some prison. Let the small boy be
ware or suffer the consequences, fol
everybody is sick and tired of him.

Would it or would it not be we'll to
