 Some dangerous horse play was in- dulged in by two persons, Monday night, which should be publicly condemned. Driving by Mrs T. B. Wakeman's house in the night, these unknown parties were annoyed by dog belonging to L. P. Wakeman, whereupon they resorted to the use of pistol, which they emptied in the body of the dog, saying, as they drove away, "I guess that animal will trouble us no more." It is not so much the loss of the dog which is to be regret ted, but the careless and lawless use of arms. Such practice as that described betrays not only very bad moral princi- pie, but utter disrespect for the law. Why do not our communities make it a point to see that the law is respected Why is it that the idea of citizenship is not inclusive of the idea of obedience to the laws? If obedience to the existing laws were enforced, such events as that described would be impossible. It is to be condemned as an unjust interference with the property of others, az we'll as an illustration of that self assertion which is the bane of society in which people exist who are utterly incapable of knowing their place in the institutions which support them.
