"I shall hold you under $500 recognizance
for your appearance at court, g" said Squire
Chandler on Saturday to Alice Oliver, col
ored who was arraigned for assault on Thos.

had trespassed on the domain of Mrs. Oliver,
and the lively Alice made matters too lively

wheelbarrow The services of physician
were necessary to dress the wounds

A new pump has been placed in position
in front Of the Ponder Hotel, in place of the
old one which has been noneuity for some
time. This is a great accommodation, not
only to the citizens of the town, but to the
visitors and teamsters whose business call
them amongst us. This pump, and the pre-
vious one, is the result OF the private funds
Of individual subscribers and as il is now in
good order, would il not be well for tile town
to assume its control and keep up its repairs?
Surely il would be Of far greater advantage
than the hiring Of three men for as many
days to cut the weeds out Of the streets.
