1t is unwise. for the city c. uncil o.
any department OF it to establish 81
precedent OF not enforcing their
orders. If one man disregards them
ano lie. will do the same. We would
respectfully suggest as an instance
that c,rtain property holder on
NJ reliant street was ordered sometime
ago not t obstruct the sidewalk in
any way. Those who have been
obliged to wade through the mud and
climb over the ranite blocks, avoid
the fences and travel ia the middle Of
the road for the past six or eight
weeks in order to make their way
from their homes to Main street will
bear witness to the manner in which
the orders Of the street department.

The following unique item OF news
comes to the Burlington Free Press
from Ogdensburgh, N, Y: "It was
not quite year ago that Mamie Cra-
mer and Edward Chiffon OF Hermon.
St. Lawrence County, were united in
marriage. NV Mamie has been
traded for an interest in a threshing
machine aud other chattels with some
cash to boot. After the marriage,
they lived in the vi lage until this
fall, when they moved :on one of the
farms owned by George Babbitt.
Harry Chiffon, brother Of the hus-
band, went to work on the farm and
worked until Tuesday. Then the
brothers settled up, Harry paying Ed.
ward some money and such personal
effects as could not Gbe easily moved,
such as an interest ia threshfng ma
chine, wagons, ETC., In return for
which Harry took Edward s wife. the
father Of the boys carried Harry and
his newly purchased wife to the train
and 1t is thought that they went to
Vermont. The father said: Il new.
er saw two brothers make trade any
more friendly and more satisfactory to
all parties. Edward has secured the
assistance Of is father and mother In
running the farm and seems to think
that he got the best Of The trade. :"
Such an exhibition of human deprav-
ity IL fortunately very rarely witness

instance, however, did appear few
years ago about II miles from the
Free Press office. The only difference
between the two cases was that in the
latter man gave his wife to his bro.

last accounts the two b-others were at
