tastes of the young people in the
right direction and at the same time
replenishing the High school Ii

of the school, ought to encourage
our young people in their laudable
efforts, and extend to them a liberal
patronage.

In our last issue was "A gentle
squib objecting to the city paying
the expenses incurred by the acci-
dent which a trotting horse driver
met with at our late fair. We GER
tainly would main tain the objection
had it proven fact that the city
dads had thus acted. Like fully
nine-tenths of the readers of the
proceedings of the common council
we were misled by these words:
"The following account was pre-

To SUBSCRIBERS FOR THE TRIB
UNE.-Some complaint is made by
subscribers to the TRIBUNE that they
do not get their papers when called
for. There is more than one reason
for this perhaps. In the first place
some have a neighbor get their mail,
and the latter forget to deliver it;
in stamping names on the papers at
our office occasionally name is
omitted by accident, and no doubt
the Postmaster makes a mistake
once in a while-it would be strange
if he did not. Now when these
mistakes occur, the subscriber will
call at the TRIBUNE office and get
another copy the publisher will
