Abo"t the Co,cs.-A petition will be
before the Council at the next meeting
asking that cows shall not be permitted
to promenade the streets at night un-
attended that is. that COWS shall be
driven out of town every evening and
kept out. 1t requests also that the
street brigade shall clear the cutters
and streets of all grass, so as to make
browsing on our thoroughfares un-
profitable. A lady sojourner left
Frostburg last year for another resort
on account of inSomnia occasioned by
the tinkle, tinkle of the nocturnal cow
bell. The petition is a reasonable one.
Our only objection to it is--it does not
go Tar enough. 1t should ask, and the
Council should ordain that COWS be at
all times kept out of town, or kept up.
The excuses which led to the bar
barous liberation of the COW and her
imposition upon the public. have been
exploded long ago.
Breritics.-One of c. F. Nickcl's

The rich man cannot enter heaven,
but at $3.50 for Il round trip to At
lantlc city, he can for few days have
a laundering good time ut the sea
shore.
The night will pass as the nights
have passed, and soon we will have
the day ; and that day will pass as no
day can last, for nothing is here to
stay. The young will pass from their
glad estate, to age and disease and
death, as the poor will pass and the
strong and great, as passes the fleeting
breath. The grass will pass from the
sunlit plain, as the grass Of last year
went, but the fellow in blue who runs
the train wont pass us worth a cent.
