Tramps are beginning to be nuisance.
While now and then one OF this class may
be an object of charity, as rule it is mis-
directed charity which prompts one to feed
those who are not willing to work. More
than that, 1t encourages and breeds the
tramping disposition. A good form Of char
ity OF this class, and one that will tend to
suppress the nuisance, Is to offer good
meal for an hour or two OF good hard work,
a trade that hungry man worthy Of char
ity will be willing to accept. A tramp
called at house in the village recently and
asked for a dinner. He was offered din
ner for one hours good work but he sud-
denly remembered that he had not time to
stop for dinner and departed. No one
thinks he was an angel in disguise.
In recent issue of the Bradford Opinion,
T. p. Wells gives an interesting history OF
the early printing business in Newbury, es-
tablished by one Nathaniel Coverley, and
speaks of newspaper printed by him in
1876, which lived six months. We have one
half of one copy of that paper. Its title is
1.-THE Orange Nightingale or Newbury
Morning Star" 1t is interesting to note its
contents. Its motto is, Herewith is We'll
come-candor guides the way" There is
news from London, ship Concord, Captain
Colley, only fifty six days from the Downes,
an account of the French victories in Italy,
a ghost story, funny corner under the
head of The Bouquet" continued story
entitled, "The Story of Constantius and Pui.
ohera," some poetry on the death of Miss
sally pDage OF Ryegate, which is quite
unique long article from an inhabitant Of
Newburv. in which he makes some very I'M
favorable criticisms on the proceedings OF
church council convened in Newbury to
settle some difference between the Haver-
hill and Newbury members. 1t seems from
the article that the council was conducted
in very unchurchly manner. The editor
states that phillip Rawlins proposes rid
net and Peacham, in each of which town
any persons who wishes to become sub
scribers for the Orange Nightingale will be
supplied at the moderate price of ten shil-
lings per annum; in Duesburgh, Cabot,
Walden and Hardwick, at twelve shillings,
and through Greensborough and Craftsbor-
ough, fourteen shillings per annum Those
persons who will please to favor him with
their commands may depend on having
their business strictly attended to-" The
editor advertises " cash and the highest
price given for rags at this office"
