FALLS VILLAGE

which is not only an appreciable utility but an ornament to the village, is com pleted and in commission, it is no more than fair that, despite the modesty and evident desire of the donor to remain, outside the circle of the hme-hght' the fact should be known that MT. Dwight E. Dean is the gentleman who paid the bills and virtually presented to the community this valuable conYen- fence.
 An example of detestable brutality came to light Tuesday morning of last week, when it was discovered that some scamp had mutilated the tail of 8 COW belonging to Mrs. Wm. E. Sheppard, on the Jackson road. The tail had been split in several places, evidently with B iackknife, and was plainly the work of malicious spite. Mrs. Sheppard had been missing chickens from her poultry yard, and had established close watch on 1t. Sunday night she heard suspicious noise in the chicken coop, and procuring a gun, fired at some maraudet of whom she got a glimpse. The intruder es- capped, however, but the next night the q cow-shed was visited, with the result stated. While there was no direct evl- dence to connect them with the cowardly crime, Constable Hornbeck concluded
 that if the gang of tramps who had
 biyuacked in the neighborhood for some . days were evicted, there would be less
 trouble of that sort. Accordingly he
 gave them warning to get cut of the ter ritory at once, or be arrested and sent to jail, and they lost no time in getting out. @ss..
