PETITION THE CoUNCIL.-As it
seems evident that the Council
does not intend to take action rela.
tive to the passage Of ii stock ord
nance, two meetings of the new
Board having been held without
any agitation of the question,
those who believe that the horse,
mule and cow should be banished
from the streets, ought to circulate
a petition to obtain signatures with
that object in view, for %presenta-
ton at the next regular meeting
on the first Monday Of April. By
this means, if the town is thor
oughly canvassed, the wishes of
the people will be expressed and
If a majority, as we believe there
will be, is shown to be in favor OF
a stock ordinance, the Council will
be compelled to take cognizauce-oi
srr' ilct.

the 18th of this month. He will
discover, however, as President
Cleveland did, when too late to
correct the error, that he will have
this Body of irreconciliable and
heterogeneous political and fnan-

refused to grant q new trial to
Theodore Durrant, the young med
