or worthy object, when they attend
the entertainments gotten up at
home, but they get more amusement
and good from them than from

The fire works on Saturday even
ing drew large crowd of people.
Most of the stuff acted we'll, but the
balloons were an entire failure. They
refused to initiate and rise, caught
fire and fizzled out. The scene on
the water was pleasing. The dis
charge of rockets, the burning of col
ored lights and water pieces, with
music by the band and the steaming
and understanding of the boats
made 1t weird and interesting. The
Craftsbury village band was present
and played very finely. The boys kept
the cannon booming and amid loco
motive whistles, shouting and halloo-
ing, and the jargons of two or three
languages, there were noises, pleas
ing and otherwise, which ought to
have satisfied all. The evening was
perfect.
There are boys around every rail
road village who are in the habit of
loafng about the depot, jumping
on moving trains, etc., who are a
nuisance to railroad employees, and
who seem exceedingly anxious to
start up funeral services in the fami-
lies to which they belong. To such,
and to those who wish to keep the
boys where they belong,or where they
will be safe, we commend the follow
ing statute law of the state. Sec
| ton 1852 reads as follows:
GA minor boarding railroad train
on it's arrival or departure, or the
making up of railroad trains at sta
ton, or lettering about yard or sta
ton. on the property of railroad
company without permission, shall be
fined not less than one dollar and
costs, and not more than five dollars
and costs, or imprisoned not less
than five days nor more than thirty
days; and station agents or yard
masters, or any officer authorized to
make arrests, shall arrest such minor
and bring him before justice in the
town where the offence is committed,
who may enforce such provisions. -
