bilities of the Barred Plymouth Rock.

a worthy try for the prize. The little
bird responded willingly to his groom
ing and within l05 days it had proudly
laid an egg at its masters feet Mr..
Scott forwarded proof of his record to
the Pittsfeld farm and received recently
a reply saving that his pullet had out
stripped all other competitors. The prize |
money was soon Forthcoming. Mr.. |

The aldermanic street committee and |
The department superintendent have been |
put to considerable inconvenience late |
" by the failure of certain abutters TO |
keep their walks clear from snow in |
the mercantile section. Among other |
lbutters there has been disposition |
10 swept the sand from the walks as
soon as it has been scattered by the |
sand men. A section in the city ord !
nance makes it imperative that each |
lhutter in the business district shall |
shovel the snow from the walk in front |
,f his own place of business. In ma
ority of cases there has been general |
compliance with the rule but there have
been exceptions, also, and steps will be
aiken to enforce the ordinance if this
warming is not needed. The practice of
.cmoving the sand from slippery places
$ also contrary to the spirit of the ordi
lances and should be discontinued at |
,nce.
