now owned by the town, limiting the cost to $50, ,000. The new building will be located on higher ground just back of the present one and the front will be re- served for building lots, from which the town may possibly realize considerable money in tine. Discussion brings out that present accommodations are ron limit ed for the comfort uf the unfortunate in- mates. Sone of the inmates are well ad- vanced in life. Complaints regarding poor-bouses, as well as prisons never cease. The condition of the indigent is much better than it used to be, and now io in many places, when the poor were farmed. out to the lowest bidder. Cost to the town, money. always comes in between the poor and their comfort, and the poor get the slim end. It is not customary to measure our civilization by our care for the helpless. 1t is gratify- ing to know however, that our Christian ity is constantly reaching out farther with it's healing touch.

THEY FEEL LIKE KICKING.

Maple avenue is one of our nice streets, opening out from White street north . It has a deal of trouble, and the good denizens thereof. Smoke, steam, clat- ter, chatter, open coal holes, mud, ar row walks generally ebsUructed. If not one thing,it is another. The new sewer, it seems is d perpetual annoyance. Ditches are dug, pipes laid, ditches re- opened, pipes taken up and re-jaid very frequently, and the avenuers see no end to the exercises. IL naturally be- comes tiresome. Any service however interesting may become tresome if too long continued. When the huge pipes are finally laid to rest, if ever they are. and the teased ground becomes quiet and smoothed over. and he inhabii ants are quietly resting, then the kckers again~t the ill saxor Of Still river may seal up the mouths of 1he pipes and they will be of little use. People can find no live place worth living in without un- pleasant surroundings, more or less an- moving, as they are more or less sensi, tive to the friction inseparable from the rush of modern life. Think that no live town is ever entirely finishei, but is ever being fixed, improved, brushed up, de- veloped. To growl and kick against it is but to increase the friction. These general suggestions are local every where.
