Is there no way by which the loud
and boisterous swearing can be check
ed on our streets? 1t is exceedingly
of more credit to our officers to make
arrests for swearing on the street than
arresting men for drunkenness. A mum
ber of box decorators sit almost daily
in front of the general stores and
make use of the most profane language
possible to utter. Ladies and children
have this dirty language for breakfast.
dinner and supper. We are comfident
that it is annoying also to these mer-
chants. There is some excuse for n
wicked man who swears when in q
heated passion, but for young men in
common conversation to roll IL out
like some sweet morsel from their lips
should be arrested and made pay the
fine - Er

1t is singular but a lamentabte fact
that lads or would-be young men, who
have been nurtured by the Sunday
School and whose parents are members
OF the church, should show an utter
spirit Of levity on the most solemn oc-
casions, annoying those near them and
bring reproach on themselves and their
parents. 1t would be relief to think
that they did not know any better, but
this is not the case, and they only can
tell why they do it,

took enough provisions to set up a
hotel, and if there is anything in the
old dadage: Laugh and grow fat', thew
hardly needed anything to eat, for their
laughter was merry and healthful from
the many pleasures incident to their
ride down until they were brought
back and dispersed for their homes that
night Their rendezvous was the Bonn
bay Hook Lighthouse, and they start
ed the day by grabbing at the wharf
at the mouth of Smyrna River. I,uclT

too impatient to spend all the dav in

wife gave them complete possession az
the house, and well did they eniov n
They set their table on the front porch

Professor KONG Of Gottingen, in
a recent article on this subject, says
that at one time, while he was prac
ticing medicine in Hanau, he suddenly
discovered that his bedroom was
thickly inhabited by obnoxious i'll
sects. A friend assured him that he
could easily get rid Of the Pests. and
proceeded to fumigate the apartment
with corrosive sublimate The sue
cess OF this measure was most graft
flying, and when the room was opened
the dead bodies OF various insects
were seen streWn about the floor.
This incident led the professor to hope
that the same means would be etfectlIal

A Total Disability Claim Of $1,650 Paid to
