Last Sunday night our quiet and peace

certain parties, from Island Pond, who
represent themselves to be gentlemen,
who made the night hideous with their
unearthly yells, frightening a number OF
our people who imagined the village was
in flames, while others imagined the
bowling to proceed from wild beasts,
which these so called gentlemen more
fitly represented rather than respectable
citizens. Their names are known to your
correspondent, and if there is a repetition
of such conduct, immediate and vigorous
prosecution will follow.

A Word for the Boys.

We trust the boys will celebrate and
enjoy themselves in their usual delightful
duty of making a noise on Saturday
next. July 4. Just why the average
small boy delights in noise it is difficult
to determine, but delight in it he does,
and it is astonishing what capabilities
he develops in the way of making 1t on
the Fourth of July. There is only one
United States. There was but one Dec
laration of Independence, and the cele-
bration of that declaration comes but
once wear. For 1854 days the boy has
to keep measurably quiet. People with
nerves remind him of their existence, and
he is repressed if not oppressed, He asks
but little in asking for the 365th day to
follow his bent. He will likely burn his
fingers; he may scorch his eyebrows
hut If he is watchful, and his parents are
yipilant, imposing reasonable restriction
upon the use of frecrackers, torpedoes
fireworks. and the like, accidents will bt
few and these not serious, and the boy
will grow up a better citizen for being
permitted to celebrate the Fourth in hi
own noisy, irrational way. There is al
educational power in firecrackers once
year, not, however, used as they wer'
last week Thursday night on the fiat

Island Pond was invaded by a large
party of commercial travellers from Port
land last Tuesday. They were going to
Montreal by special train, chartered for
that purpose on their annual excursion,
and stopped here en- route to partake of
the hospitality of the Stewart House.
They arrived here shortly before 2
O'Clock, and at once marched to the hotel
keeping step to the inspiring strains of
Chambers Band, (of Portland, which
had been engaged for the trip and
headed by the irresistible Horace "
ZONES himself, and the redoubtable Tug
Wilson The latter is a news agent, and
q prime favorite with the drummers on
the line of the G. T. r. The dinner was
a recherche affair, deliciously cooked and
excellently served, and so highly pleased
were the knights of the grip" at the
spread that three lusty cheers were given
in the dining room for the Stewart House
and all connected Herewith, and they were
given with will too; compliment that
mine host Dyer keenly appreciated. He
spared no pains to make the occasion a
notable one for his guests, and his efforts
were successful and favorably commented
upon. After dinner Chambers Band
furnished more delightful music, that was
highly enjoyed by our citizens. At 8
O'Clock the boys resumed their journey to
Montreal, arriving there at 8 O'Clock, an
exceptionally quick run. They are ex,
pected here on their return trip this
Thursday afternoon, and will go on to
the Brunswick Springs House for supper
The HERALD was pleased to receive cal
from Mr.. Robert Rexdale, and Mr.. Philip
Mcintyre, accompanying the party as
representatives of the Portland press
We enjoyed their call very much, and
hope to meet them again.
