At the close of the lodge all present sat down to a bountiful repast. The af | fair broke up at midnight, the visitors taking the last car for home. l An incident occurred the other night on one of our principal streets which, to say the least, was very provoking affair." and should result in the prosecution of the parties con cerned Some of the residents on this TaI +a lo1 small stones come crashing through their front windows. It was found to be the work of boys, who belong to well known family, who for a night or i two had been amusing themselves by throwing stones out of *sling shot against peoples windows. One of the residents was quick enough to detect the particular boy, and went out and gave him a good talking to, i informing him that if that thing oc- cured again he would be prosecuted.
