RIPToN.

Mr.. j. {. Pierce had three two-year-
olds stray away from his premises during
the late storm and on search one was
found dead, the Others alive, at a short
distance from the barn in an out lot.
Despite the unseasonableness of the
hour of the late fire at VIM. Galvin's
quite crowd gathered and worked nobly
to save property; to all constituting that
crowd Mr.. G. wishes to extend his heart
felt thanks and hopes he may never be
called upon to return the favor in kind.
During the progress of the fire at Mr..
Galvin's, the old house standing on the
farm occupied by j. C. Pierce was dis
covered to be on fire, but the fire had
gained so little Roadway that it was east
ly subdued. The building stood from 80
to 100 rods away from the main fire.
Some thought it might have caught from
cinders from the original fire, but Others
scout the idea, saying the distance was
too great and the roof too wet.
The Granville correspondent of the
REGISTER seems to be "otf." Ina recent
issue he has an item as to the shortcom-
ings of two Ripton men, as though Rip
ton men were sinners above all men, ig-
noring the fact that Gokey halls from
York State and only stopped here a short
time and that Derby halls from Fair
Haven, but did stop here little longer
We, with as much or more proprie-
ty, might claim that parties that
came through Granville to this place
and transgressed the rules of propri-
ETY. were "Granvlle men," A little
exactness in reporting would do no harm
and might go far toward good feeling
among townsmen and neighbors. Fol
instance, the item in regard to the two
boys starting for Florida with quanti
ty of stolen funds; would it have beer
an injury to him to have said that the
Barry boy took the plumber and induced
the Hamblin boy to Join him promising
to pay all bills; that when the arrest was
made none of the property was found OF
the Hamblin boy, and that at the time sci
for trial, after the motion made by the
counsel for the Hamblin boy to put hin
under bonds for term to restrain hin
in the future from wrong doing, Mr.
Babcock, town grand juror, said publicly
addressing the court that had he know
the facts he never should have made any
complaint against him and did not know
of any evidence against him unless thu
fact he was in the Barry boys company
could be called evidence? In point o.
fact no evidence against the Hamblin boy
was known to exist and the correspond
ent from Granville knows, or SHOULD
know, it. Really, the one who wrote thu
dime novel that turned the Barry boy!
head is the only one that should have
been punished in any way.
