we nave Deen cflClclZeQ Dy some Oh
our friends for sometimes noting in
this column too many infractions of
the town laws and, ordinances. But
either we have reformed or those who
furnished the basis for the items have
had chage of vision. For just now,
and for some time past, our commun-
ity has been as quiet as the proverbial
church mouse of the sainted sinner

For several mornings past firing of
arms has been heard in or near the
Park. We trust no one is so thought
less, or foolish, as to be killing the
gray squirrels in the. corporate. lin
it's. There is heavy penalty for
shooting squirrels or quail, in the
Park, and while there are many citi-
zens who would hesitate to report
other infractions of the law, these
same persons would delight in report
ing any one rightfully suspected of
killing their pets.

of which many dapend to determine
just how much ! to put in the Gel
lar.
1t is predict, by The caterpillar
pregnosticators at this will be
mild winter. They base their predic-
tions on the fact that this fall there
is thin black mark around the tail
and another around the neck (if the
caterpillar has neck), the interven-
ing space of the chassis being dark
brown. We don't catch the idea ex-
actly, but will live in hopes.
