MILTON.

The uuruly boys of Milton need pass
ing notice-or that portion whose parents
apparently have no care over then-and
who are allowed to run the streets of
evenings hip, hip, hurrahing to the dis
gust of decent civilians who are both in
and out doors. On last Friday evening
they made particular demonstration on
the academy, ringing the bell, etc, and
those having that building i'll charge,
have talked strongly of making some ar
rests. We presume something of this
kind will be the only means of stopping
the annoyance. On this same evening,
several boys were congregated about the
house of minister, peeping i'll the win

family within were, no doubt, disguised,

down, presumably TO free themselves
from their indecent stare.
The public schools are now open, and
Judging, from our opinion, of the quail
ties of the teachers of South Milto II these
boys have enough to do to stay at home
of evenings and learn their lessons. Such
would be the case if parents exercised a
controlling influence over them.

Judging from the changes that have
occurred in town within the last two
weeks the hotel business either paws or il
does not pay. The late purchasers ol
theltwo hotels, must think there is money
in the business if properly managed;

in these establishments doubtless think
otherwise, d. A. c.
