BOROUGH OF STOCKTON.

Stockton has somewhat unique
method of dealing with petty offend
ers. Two men who recently INDUCED
too literally in hard cider became too
noisy and abusive, and were summon
ed before justice Cullen, who senten-
ced them to perform three days work
upon the streets, shoyeling snow from
the cutters, without pay, This beats
boarding them at public expense
An early morning train passing
Stockton shortly before seven o'clock
would be greatly appreciated by the
people of the borough.
The Board OF Trade is advertising in
the daily papers, setting forth the ad-
vantages of Stockton as location for
manufacturing industries, and are now
in correspondence with some concerns
Stockton needs to increase her indus
tries, and single industry that would
employ fifty hands, would ill all the
empty houses aud greatly increase the
value of real estate.
! The tax payers of Stockton may
! thank their stars that the town was in
corporated borough last winter, as
the total expense of opening the streets
after the heavy SNOW of last week was
but 80 cts, while the expense i'll Della
