We are informed that at late meeting
of the Town Council the members were
unable TO decide whether to allow the
shootinp of fire crackers, rockets, Roman
candles. squibs and fireworks generally
within the Corporation, during the holt
lavs or at any time, and have postponed
definite action until later meeting. This
action of the Council will be matter OF
SUNRISE and astOnishment TO every THINK
ing person in the community. Why any
one sbould favor such dangerous and
silly habit passes comprehension. Simply
to crafty few reckless boys who care
not what damage they might do, all the
property of the town, as well rs the lives
and limbs Of passers-by, must be endan-
/ oered. Do our Councilmen ever think OF
the immense losses that have occurred IN
the United States, as well as the destruc-
ton of life that has resulted from hre-
5 works in the hands Of irresponsible per
81 sons But few years ago the whole city
! Of Portland, Maine, was swept away by a
fire caused by fire cracker that was
thrown by boy into carpenter shop

and hundreds Of persons being reduced
{ from position Of comfort and plenty to
poverty. This has been the case with doz
ems of towns throug. the country. Since

{ fine horses hitched TO stage in front oil

D.. that resulted ia the death Of all four OF the
i horses and the total wreck Of the coach

e passengers. fourteen in number, had JUS
left the stage for supper or the loss OF Iii
II and other damages would have been ap
II palling. Had the stage company pushed

It would have been compelled to foot tn
