overfiowing last Friday night The
public schools CT the town gave an en-
tertainment that evening. with pro
gramme that reached from eight o clocl
until near midnight The weathe,
was very warm. but the audience die
not tire nor slacken in enthusiasm.
OF course it is not expected that We
should individually commend the &C.
tors on the youthful stage-that would
| usurp all the space of whole Brevity
column-but We take pleasure in Civ.
ing testimony as to the merit of the
whole performance. 1t was creditable
alike to the teachers and the pupils,
and we are glad to note that through ii
the Library Fund was made the richer
by about fifty dollars.
Horses are running at large in this
town every day in the week, while hogs
root at their own sweet will all through
the streets and alleys. As to the for
mer, we think that the ordinance in
their case made and provided is scarce
ly worth the paper upon which it was
written. TO prove that an owner has
..wilfully" permitted his horse to be
at large is a difficult matter; but in adj
dition to this it must also be proven
that said horse has s.endaugered"
somebody's life. before conviction
can be had under this fool law. Why
not enact new ordinance, similar in
its provisions to the hog ordinance,
which is d good and effective law,
easily enforced? We believe the en-
actment of such a law would tend to
the better enforcement of both ordi-
nances; and if its provisions were to be
extended to the cattle which splatter
up the sidewalks, all the better.
