bed. Company being at their home in the
evening the family did not retire until
about ten o'clock, when they found the
child lying against the wall dead. Whether
she was smothered or how the death hap
pened is a mystery.
The boys were out Halloween evening
apparently with the intention of supply
ing more work for our busy workmen. As
long as they confine themselves to having
a good time without destroying property
no one will object but they should beware
of going too far. A favorite amusement
appears to be to roll the cannon balls out
of the square. h obliges the Post to
have them placed back in position and
they must also be reprinted, making con
siderable expense for a few men. Better
drop this sport.
