Barnstable Town Meeting.
On Monday of next week occurs our
annual Town Meeting. It will be an in-
teresting one. Let all hands be on deck.
By referring to the Warrant in another
column it will be seen that the meeting
is called at S.30—half an hour earlier
than usual. Messrs. Charles C. Crocker
of Hyannis and Ebeu B. Crocker of
Barnstable, the present efficient mem-
bers of the Board of Selectmen , will
probably be unanimously re-elected, as
they should be. They have served the
town faithfully, have proved themselves
to be the right men in the right place,
and the town will stand by them. For
the third place, made vacant by the re-
tirement of Andrew Lovell, Esq., there
are three candidates—Capt. Cyrenus A.
Lovell of Osterville (the caucus candi-
date of that village,) Capt. Gilbert F.
Crocker of Cotuit (the caucus candidate
of that village.) and Capt. Asa F. Bearse
also of Cotuit—all good men.
Road Commissioners.
Article 3 in the Town Warrant calling
the Barnstable Town Meeting reads :
To see if the Town will accept the pro-
visions of Sections 74. 75, 76 aud 77 of Cuup
27 of the Public Statutes In relation to the
ouoice of three road commissioners, and to
deter mine the compensation of said com-
inishionera.
As we understand the law applicable
to this subject the town can elect three
Road Commissioners and fix their com-
pensation , but if the town fails to do
this the Selectmen may appoint one
Commissioner to have charge of all the
roads in town. We have taken some
pains to ascertain the views of our
towns people in this matter, and as far
us t.hfi si>nt.imf>nt. of flip, town has been
voiced it is in favor of the town choos-
ing three Commissioners—and we be-
lieve this will be the course pursued at
the annual meeting. It seems to us
that three will give much better satis-
faction than one. This road matter is
an important one to our people. It is
vital to our interests that we have good
roads, and our people are a unit in de-
siring them ; but there may be some dif-
ference of opinion how to secure them.
We think we have been particularl y
blessed in this respect in the past—un-
der three Surveyors, and we know the
town will hesitate long before 'it places
if.s rnnds in fchp hsinris of one.
Precinct Voting.
In the Patriot of November 12th,
immediately after the State Election ,
we said :
The Australian Ballot system removes all
necessity If not all the incentives for our
citizens to gather at the Town House ou
National and State Election days as hereto-
lore , and makes a change to "precinct vot-
ing"' In Barnstable and all other large towus
of several villages upon the Cape and
th roughout the State desirable if not neces-
sary. Let voting places in Barnstable be
establish ed at B irnstable , West Barnstable,
Uya nnis , Centreville , Osterville and Cotuil
:iud we should greatly increase our town's
vote and not put our people to so much in-
convenience as now. With the Australian
ballot , then , let us have "precinct voting" bj
all means.
But there are two sides to all ques-
tions, and, in looking the matter care-
fully over, we find many reasons why
it will be neither politic, pleasant
nor profitable for old Barnstable to de-
part from the good old way of the
fathers, and as there is an Article in
the Warrant for our next annual Town
Meeting relative to introducing Precinct
Voting in our town, it seems appro-
priate for us to now consider its disad-
vantages as well as its advantages to
enable our citizens to vote intelligent^'
upon the matter. The only merit that
can be urged for this system apparently
is the fact that voters can case their bal-
lots with the loss of less time than by
the method now in vogue. Let us look
at the matter on the other side : First
the question of additional expense to
the town : Probabl y no one would pro-
pose having less than six precincts, for
with a smaller number many persons
would be obliged to travel as great a
distance, if not greater, than at present.
The law relative to Precinct Voting re-
quires two wardens and a clerk and as
amended by the Australian ballot act
requires in addition two inspectors and
two deputy inspectors of voters. It
will also be necessary to provide a man
to attend the ballot box,and a constable,
making a total of nine election officers
to each precinct and on a basis of six
precincts for the town f if ty-four men
to attend to the' election and do the
work which is now done by the Select-
men, Town Clerk, four inspectors of
voters, one constable and one man to
attend the ballot box—ten in all—and
of which ten only six receive pay, as
the Selectmen and Town Clerk are paid
nothing for their services. We shall be
obliged to provide five additional voting
places and fit them with shelves and
rails as required by the Australian
system. Five additional ballot boxes,
at a cost of $50 each, will be needed,
and the total cost to the town will prob-
ably be something like $500 per year
greater than at present. It does not
seem that the saving of a little time is
of enough value to warrant so large an
expenditure, particularly as in nine
years out of ten we only hold meetings,
when this method would be available,
once a year and then occurring at a time
when most people are through with the
bulk of the year's work. It also im-
presses us as a good thing for the people
of the town to meet together occasion-
ally. Many persons look on town
meetings not merely as an opportunity
to vote, but as an occasion when they
meet friends from parts of the town
which they do not frequently visit, and
it often affords chances to transact busi-
ness other than that of elections. We
trust the people of the town will con-
sider the matter carefully before giving
up the old system, which has certainly
worked well in the past, for a new one
which has, it now appears to us after
mature reflection , little except novelty
to recommend if..
Boston people enjoyed (?) a brisk
snow storm intermingled with wide-
awake thunder and lightning, Tuesday
night, the lightning being remarkably
vivid and the thunder heavy.

District Court
At the hearing before the Joint Judic-
iary Committee Wednesday at 1
1 A. M.
upon the several petitions for the es-
tablishment of a District Court or
Courts in Barnstable County, Messrs.
Hiram P. Harriman , James H. Hopkins,
Thomas C. Day, Wm. P. Reynolds,
Charles F. Chamberlayne , George T.
Wyer, Samuel Snow, Isaiah C. Young
and Representative Clark of Falmouth
appeared and testified to the advantages
of the District Court system. The
Couuty Commissioners a3ked that the
expenditures be limited to the least pos-
sible amount consistent with the neces-
sities of the system. The bill gener-
ally favored divides the couuty into
two districts, the first including all the
towns above Dennis, the Court to sit
every day sessions, to be held at Barn-
stable, and at least once a week at
Bourne and ofteuer, if necessary ; the
second district including all the town s
below Yarmouth with sessions daily, at
Provincetown and at least once a week
or oftener , if desired, at Harwich.
The bill provides for two special jus-
tices for each court, to serve in the ab-
sence or during sickness of the justice.
Each justice will receive a salary of
$1000, paying his own travelling ex-
penses. Warrants may be issued by the
justices and special justices whether the
Court is in session or not. The petition-
ers showed that the cost would be $2000
yearly, from which should be deducted
all fines received from criminal cases
and fees from civil business. The testi-
mony was practically unanimous that
the new court would in the end be less
expensive than the present system. The
District Courts have a much larger ju-
risdiction than trial justices, so that
many cases where now defendants are
bound over to the grand jury will in the
future be tried and settled in the Dis-
trict Courts, saving the County the ex-
pense of bringing witnesses before the
Grand Jury and the further expense of
the trial in the Superior Court.
The Judges of these Courts, like all
Jud ges in this State, will have a life
tenure, and it is therefore desirable that
3'oung men be appointed to the positions
and , probabl y, if the District Courts
are established it will be Judge William
P. Reynolds of Barustable and Judge
James H. Hopkins of Provincetown.
So mot.fi if, he.
Road Commissioner - - Marcus
N. Harris elioicc of the North
Side.
In response to the call published in
the Patriot last week, a large number of
the voters of West Barn stable and
Barustable met at Otis Hall in West
Barnstable, Wednesday evening, to get
an expression of the people of the north
side of the town as to who should be
supported at the annual town meeting
for Road Surveyor from this section—
in case the town votes to choose three
as now seems to be the popular senti-
mnnf..
The meeting was organized by the
choice of Andrew F. Sherman , Esq.,
as Chairman and Alfred Crocker, Esq.,
as Secretary.
On motion , it was voted to open a
marking list, and Messrs. Howard M.
Parker, E. S. Phinney and Eben B.
Crocker were appointed Tellers.
Only two persons were marked for—
John Bursley of West Barnstable aud
Marcus X. Harris of Barustable—both
intelligent , experienced and deservedly
popular young men. The result of the
marking was as follows :
Johu Bursley, 19
Marcus X. Harris, 76
Mr. Harris was declared the choice of
the meeting.
The meeting was very harmonious
and the best of feeling prevailed be-
tween the contestants aud their friends ,
and we trust the action of the Caucus
will be f ully confirmed at the Town
Meeti ng. Mr. Harris has had the
charge of the roads in this section for
a number of years, and has given great
satisfaction. He is an intelligent , rising
youn g man , aud is deserving not only
the full confidence but the full vote of
thp town.
CARD FROM MR. BURSLEY
West Barnstable, Feb. 21, 1890.
I take this method of cordially thank-
ing those who voted for me at the recent
Citizens' Caucus, and now withdraw my
uame as a candidate for Road Commis-
sioner in favor of Mr. M. N. Harris.
Respectfull y,
JOH N BURSLEY.
We learn that Samuel H. Hallett of
Ceutreville, acknowledged to be one of
the very best Road makers in this sec-
tion of the State, is the choice of many
if not all in the eastern section of the
South side for Commissioner. For the
western section there are several names
mentioned the most prominent being
those of Mr. D. J. Coleman and Capt.
Simeon L. Ames.
It is proposed to buy for the nation
for 830,000 a scrap book made by Thos.
S. Townsend of^ewspaper scraps relat-
ing to the rebellion from 1860 to the
present time. The late Miss Eliza A.
Chamberlain ,of Barnstable, while acting
as "ministering angel"in the Union Hos-
pitals during the war, made clippings
from all the papers of that day and
pasted them in scrap books which she
entitled—"War of the Rebellion. Notes
on the times from Dec. 1860 to Sept.
1864." These notes make fourte en vol-
umes of several hundred pages each,
and it probably gives the most accurate
idea of the beating of the public pulse
during the rebellion of any other work
in existence. The senior editor of the
Patriot is the happy possessor of this
valuable work—not only valuable in it-
self , but in the fact that it was com-
piled by a lady who devoted the entire
period of the rebellion to alleviatiug
the sufferings of our brave boys. She
was a lovely aud most patriotic woman,
and one whose memory is revered wher-
p.ve.rshfi was known.
The Boston Daily Advertiser—one of
the ablest and most reliable of the Bos-
ton dailies—has changed its price from'
$12 to $9 per year, and from 4c. to 3c.
per copy. The Advertiser has always
been a favorite upon the Cape, and the
reduction in price will not only make it
easier for its old patrons to continue,
but will bring it within the means of
others who desire a first-class Boston
daily. More than thirty years ago we
wrote that the Advertiser's Marine list
was head and shoulders above that of
its neighbors, and the same thing can be
said of it to-dav.
By its exposure the spunky little One
Cent Record has secured the removal
from the Boston Police force of one Vin-
cent who used his club too freely upon
an inoffensive citizen. The Record is
doing good work by its exposures. Long
may it live.
Collector Beard will take possession
of the Boston Custom House March 1
,
when Gen. John L. Swift will resume
his old position of Deputy Collector now
occupied by Mr. Flatlev.
We learn that Mr. Eben Smith is a
candidate for Road Commissioner from
the North Side.
Barnstable High School
The object of the article last week in
reference to this matter may have been to
provoke discussion and test the ambition
of West Barnstable. Be that as it may,,
it now becomes a duty to arouse the
'¦'¦Sleeper" from his lethargic repose and
assure him that he canuot dream great
things but there must be deliberate
thought followed by decisive action.
Instead of "deprecating the long course
of instruction," the trouble is, boys and
girls are made men and women too fast.
Hurried and insufficient training makes
trained enemies to society. It has been
wisely said "There is a wide distinction
between our wants and our needs." We
want a High School. We need a High
School, aud in this case there is no dis-
crepancy. The poor man with children
can afford it. The rich man without
children can afford it. It is an actual
duty devolving upon the citizens of
Barnstable to provide a building with
all the appliances and have a High
School which will meet the wants of
the most aspiring and ambitious of our
boys and girls. Heretofore, from neces-
sity, the standard has been too low.
Every Grammar school has had its
smattering of High School studies and
the so called High School has been
obliged to accept material in order to
make the number complete, the quality
a secondary consideration. This state
of things always follows the breaking
up of Districts, but when one battle is
fought with good results there is no
reason the weapons of warfare should
be buried when foes assail within and
without. We ask now for the higher
education for "plain, practical, success-
ful business life,"also a Superintendent
who will have thorough and systematic
supervision of the schools and who will
be responsible for their workings. In
r.hp m;if.f,i»r of prlii< !:if,iriri f,h*»r« is a
"union or interests" aud the locality
which serves the greatest number in the
best way is the proper locality for the
school building. Two High Schools
would defeat the purpose of one such as
the town requires. Hyannis has for a
decade of years been favored in this re-
spect, the advantage mainly conttued to
the village. West Barnstable can be
easily reached by rail from Barnstable
and Hyan nis. The extra time before
and after school may be an inconven-
ience, but what is ever attempted with-
out drawbacks aud inconvenience. West
Barnstable scholars have fought it out
on the li ne between their home aud
Sandwich for years most successfully.
West Barustable being the terminus of
the road for Cotuit, Marston 's Mills, Os-
terville and Ceutreville the coach ac-
commodations are all that can be asked
for. They can be made seasonable,
convenient and secure for every High
School member. Why is not West
Barustable the proper place, with these
facts which are indisputable? In every
undertakin g, whether little or great, as
well as in every reform, the three
stages have to be met, "ridicule, argu-
ment and general acceptance." Let us
be convinced that we have arrived at the
last. Martha Lee Whelden,
Wfist Rarnstabln.
The "Province Lands ' agitation is
about to be reopened, and Wednesday
petitions were put in circulation in
Provincetown , and later will be in cities
and towns of the Commonwealth, which
will be submitted to the Legislature,
calling upon that body to investigate
aud define the rights of the Common-
wealth in those lauds.
Thomas Smith of Provincetown , who
is the pri me mover in the matter and
has been for years past, said to a Boston
Record man :
The citize ns of Provincetown , in their re-
cent town meeting, saw fit to ignore the
rights of the State to the tract of land on
which the town is situated aud have awarded
street damages to various parties, one of
whnm i«a m nnn-ri »HiH pnt..
This action acknowledges these lands to be
the properly of the persons mentioned ,
when as a matter of fact they were set apart
by the Commonwealth for use in common
for fisbiug purposes, aud the Legislature so
fa r from cancelling thai act hits reasserted
its possession, even as late as 1854.
My clatm is that the State is bound to see
ihn.t'every one engaged iu the fishing busi-
ness has a chance to transact their business
aud live there without having to pay for the
privilege. The question is, shall local custom
so override the laws of the State that the
State shall be obliged to concede that It has
lost Its rights there.
I think that this petition involves Interests
of such importance that the Legislature wlil
certainly 'vote to admit the petition, although
the ti me for presenting petitions has passed.
The evil should not be allowed to go over
yet another year and become more firmly
rooted.
The.Annual report of the Ofhcers of
the town of Barnstable for the year end-
ing Dec. 31st, 18S9, has been printed

Barnstable Relics.
"Old Colony,"in a recent issue of the
Boston Globe, gives the following,
which will be read with interest by the
Barnstable readers of the Patriot:
'•During the war of 1812 British frigates
were constantly hovering about the shores of
Barnstable, to the great annoyance of the
town , and for Us safety a requinition was
'¦
¦
- a upon the governor and the United
.a.ies authorities for guns and military
forces for Its better protection. The select-
men bought several large cannon, two of
which ^were stationed upon the sandy beach ,
known as the ''common fields," in Bamsta-
ble harbor. These did good service in pre-
venting the landing of barges from English
frigates in the bay, which could not eater
the harbor because of the sand bar at its
mouth. Officers bad landed and made a re-
quisition upon the town for $1500. Upon
its ref usal a threat was made to burn the old
church upon Meeting House bill. After-
ward* this town was frequently tired upon,
and one of the balls from a frigate in Barn-
fttable bay was picked up on the Bacon farm ,
and is now iu possession of Maj. S. B. Phin-
nev.
After the close of the war the town guns
upon the shore were for many years neglect-
ed, when one of them was removed to the
park near the church. Here it remained
propped only upon rough cedar posts, until
aoout 1850, when arrangements "were being
made by the Democrats for an old-fashioned
Jackson celebration , and Muj. Pnlnney made
applicatio ns at the Navy Yard at Charles-
town for a gun carriage, upon which it
aii^bt be mounted. The commandant at the
yard found a guu carriage had been landed
from the frigate Constitution , and that no
further u.seof it was required by the United
Slates government, and permission was
grunted 10 take it for the purpose of mouDt-
in.n a sun in the old town of Barnbtable. It
was taken by express, although It required
two days at that ti me to rei'ch its destina-
tion , via the s:ind> roads of Plymouth. Its
value consisted in the fuel,that It was known
to have been in service 011 board the frigate
Constitution in her memorable battle with
the i rlgate Guerriere , ofi' Boston, which took
place iu August , lSi2. Upon this valuable
relic was mounted the old to-vn gun, which
uas since been doiug good service night and
day upon all great occasions—on the Fourth
of July as well as important political cam
p;ilgus. Here it remained until a few years
ago, when the boys ilecided that it bad done
service enough , and rallied a force during
the night sufficient, to remove the gun—"no-
body knows where." The carriage, because
of its autiq ulty , wis taken possession of by
Major Puinney, who has removed it to his
own premises, that what there Is of it may
be preserved for future generations. As a
relic of olden times it Is more interesting to
Cape Cod uieu, as the guns of the engage-
meut between the Constitution and Guerriere
were distinctly heard by many of the.cltizens
of Cape Cod.
Aud let ma refer to a portion of the "desk"
n iw in the office ol Mr. Phinney, which was
iu use at the Stale House in Boston at the
lime when Hou. Robert C. Winthrop was
-peake rof the House in 1S39. We have not
forgotten that the State House is considered
by some of the old school the "hub of the so
lar system,"and that by others it is modified
into the '"h ub of the universe." The new
State Hou9e, as it is sometimes called, was
completed and taken possession of In 1798, in
the days of Gov. Sumner , the corner-stone
having been laid bv Sam Adams, July 4,
1795. It was enlarged and improved in I800.
ami at that time a portion of the desk used
when the Ltgislaiure flrst convened in the
present State House was removed , and is
now iu the office of Major Phinney. It is
the more valuable , as having been used by
Speaker Winthrop, and contains the pigeon
holes in which the bills Mien passed upon by
the House were deposited by him. The desk
also coutai us two receptacles for the Ink-
stands , which were constructed by the State
authorities , large enough to receive a man's
hut.
Upon the repairing of the State House,this
ancient piece ol furnilure found its way into
a cabinet warehouse on Cornhill, Boston,
WMe re it was discovered aud bought , 35 years
ago, by its present owner.
Mr. Wlnlhrop was speaker in 1839, at the
time he made one of his most eloquent
speeches at the Barnstable centennial , and re-

Ministerial Association.
The New Bedford District Ministerial
Association held a Convention at Fall
River last week, commencing on Tues-
da5' evening and closing Wednesday
evening. Among the ministers present
were George E. Dunbar of South Yar-
mouth , J. N. Geisler of East Bridge-
water, J. Q. Adams of Bourne, Robert
Clark of Sandwich , A. P. Palmer of
New Bedford , Samuel Fox of Eastham,
J. N. Patterson of Cotuit , E. C. Bass of
TauntOE , J. S. Fish of South Carver,
\V. D. Wilkinson of Dighton , G. A.
Grant of Vineyard Haven, J. W. Smith
of Tauuton, N. C. Alger of Chatham, G.
E. Brightma n and J. C. Wells. We
clip tlie follo wing report of the proceed-
ings fro m the Standard :
Tuesday evening Rev. H. B. Cady of Taun-
tou delivered a sermon. Wednesday morn-
ing, after the transaction of some matters of
routine business , th e essays were taken up.
First was : ''Responsibility in social and
business corporations ," which was opened
by Rev. G. A. Grant of Vineyard Haven.
This was discussed by Rev. Messrs. Ewer of
Little Compton , Hood of Fairhaven , Palmer
and Woodwa rd of New Bedford. Vinton and
King of Eilgartown , and Mr. R. S, Douglass
of Plymouth , a business man. The next
subject: ''Tenure of membership in the
Methodist Episcopal church ," was treated
tj> Presiding Elder Ela. This essay was dis-
cussed by many. At noon an adjournment
was ordered for dinner , after Ltev. J. A. L.
Rich of Newport had addressed the meeting
on rhe subject of the coming conference to
be held iu Newport in April. Kev. J. I.
Bartholomew presented an invitation from
!he Alle n Strpet church of New Bedford to
hold its next meeting with them and it was
voted unanimously to accept the invitation.
The date of the meeting was left with the
presiding elder. "Is Methodism in a Tran-
sitional State?" whs the subject of an able
paper by R. S Douglass. Remarks were
made by Rev. W. J. Smith.
Kev. S. McBuruev of Provincetown de-
llvired an essay on the question : "Should
Women be Admitted to the General Confer-
ence?" Mr. McBurney opposed ihe admis-
sion of women. He said the pendulum of
popular opinion swings to extremes. Mod-
ern society found women the subject of vari-
ous oppressions, and in its desire to redress
these wrongs it would hurry women on too
far and out of all womanly character. Mr.
McBurney said he was opposed to all wrongs
and injustice to women , and remarked ; "At
thU very hour I am endeavoring to secure
justice for a young lady of Provincetown
who was recently dismissed from the State
Normal school just before the day for her
graduation." In his opinion it was a case of
unmitigated injustice. The young lady had
done nothing deserving condemnation, save,
indeed , that more than a year ago she and
her room-mate had walked on the public
highwav in open davllght with two gentle-
men. This was a technical violation of the
rules , but the mdies were reproved for it at
the time and the matter was adjudicated.
Other than this the things which Prof. Boy-
den alleges against the ladies were trivial
and of no consequence. If ordinary socia-
bility between the sexes had been strictly
prohibited at the Normal school a number of
the officers there would have been required
to go elsewhere for their wives. As it is.
the history of the school is a history of
"Marrying and Giving In Marriage." In
subsequent interviews with Mr. McBurney,
Prof. Boyden stated that the State Normal
school was run as an appendage to one
church , and that routine announcements of
church meetings are in the interest of one
denomination. The idea laid down by
Horace Mann and carried out by the first
principals, Tililnghast and Conant , were all
right , but the school has degenerated under
Buvden's administration.
Remarks were made by Rev. J. D. King,
who spoke on the affirmative of the main
question of the essay. Rev. T. J. Everett
read an exposition of the Prophecy of Joel.
The sermon in the evening was by Rev. J.
H. James of Plymouth.
The Tale of a Press.
What an advance has been ms>de in the art
of printing during the last quarter of a cen-
tury. It seems but a few years since the
huge four aud six cylinder Hoe presses, with
their expert feeders, were deemed the finest
and speediest printing machines that could
be produced. The white paper was fur-
uisbed in sheets, and fed to tbe press by
hand. Then came the perfecting presses,
printing directly from a roll of paper. By
this device the speed of the press was largely
increased. Hardly had the large newspapers
adopted these, when tbe folding presses
were invented, first tbe singles and then tbe
doubles. Tbe single press would print, cut
and fold 10,000 eight-page papers an
hour, and the double press twice as manv.
When the first double press in Boston was
placed in tbe Herald office , people came
miles to see the wonder. Great as this ma-
chine is, the vastly increased business of tbe
Herald has necessitated ordering two
quadruple presses,each twice tbe size of the
jumbo , or douple press, and each capable of
printing and folding 48.000eight-page papers
an hour, or a total product for the two huge
machines of 96.000 eight-page papers an
hour. Shades of Ben Franklin 1 Ten years
ago it would have seemed a mechanical im-
possibility to produce such a press, and yet
in a shorl time the good people of Boston
can see them in actual operution in the press
room of Boston's leading paper. These two
presses are arranged to print and fold a four,
six, eight, ten, twelve, sixteen, twenty or
twenty-four page paper, and when they are
placed in position will cost the Herald a
round hundred thousand dollars, a
comfortable fortune for any man for two
printing machines; aud yet they have be-
come a necessity. Xbe increase of business
within the past few years has caused the
Herald to grow from a four to a six, and
then to an eight page dally issue, and now
a ten or twelve page paper is often rendered
necessary by the pressure of advertising
patronage. The mechanical department
must keep pace,with the growth of business,
and tbe monsterpresseswere ordered. It ii
a well known fact that tbe Herald prints
every day more columns of advertising than
any other Boston paper, and the reason is
not bard to find. Advertisers seek results,
and they find them in the known circula-
tion and widespread influence of the Bos-
ton FfH!R*T.T>.
Legislative Hearings .
A hearing was had Wednesday be-
fore the committee on fisheries upon
the petition of parties from Wareham
and the Cape, asking for a modification
of the statute of 1884 so as to permit the
shooting of wild fowl on the beaches be-
tween high and low water mark. The
owners of shore residences, who under
the present law are permitted to post
notices on their premises forbiddin g
such shooting, remonstrated against
any change in the law. Wm. P. Rey-
nolds of Hyannis appeared as attorney
for petitioners, Judge Harriman for
shore residents on the Cape,aud Charles
T. Bonney, Esq., of New Bedford , for
parties in Mattapoisett, Marion and
Wareham.
The committee on agriculture "Wed-
nesday took up the general question of
better protection against damages by
dogs. Chairman Manning of the Berk-
shire county commissioners said that if
sheep could be protected from dogs, the
far ming towus would again go into
raising sheep, and no other thing would
so tend to pi-event their deterioration.
The tariff question has nothing what-
ever in this state to do with the raising
of sheep. If farmers could raise lambs
as they used to, that industry would be
more profitable than any other they can
engage in. Julius A. Palmer of Boston
from his own experience cited several
instances showing how the laws are
wholly in favor of the dogs and against
property owners. Arthur Ricketson of
New Bedford cited several instances of
hydrophobia from bites by mad dogs.
J. B. Wiggin of Boston claimed that
dogs caused ten deaths for one life they
saved. Several other witnesses, includ-
ing .Representatives Cutler aud Bates,
spoke very strongly in favor of legisla-
tion as imperatively demanded by the
agricultural interests of the state, as
well as by the safety of the general
public. Another hearing will be given
when remonstrants will be heard.

After Dangers of the "Grip."
Boston papers facetiously remark that 'La
Grippe is seldom fatal unless you use all the
remedies recommended for it." They are
correct. The writer fully believes that the
end of ihe poor "grip" victim , if he tried all
the patent medicine* that have adorned (?)
the pages of our leadiug newspapers as "sure
cures for La Grippe", would be like Mark
Twain , who for his famous cold tried every
remedy advised by friends, until his stomach
became so weak he began to vomit and con-
tinued until , as he avers, "be was like to
thro w up his immortal soul." We notice
oue of the leadiug advertisers of the day
has been conspicuous at this opportune time
by the absence of any claim to cure the
"grip." They certainly deserve a "chronio"
and we feel like giving them a free "ad" for
their compassion upon our readers. The
more so for the reason that probabl y more
people have used their remedy, that good
old family medicine , Joh nson's Anodyne
Liniment for this foreign Influenza , than 'all
others combined And why uol ? Certain-
ly no other will relieve cartarrhal colds,
coughs,bronchial troubles ,or neuralgic pains,
as promptly as that same old Anodyne Lini-
ment , and the above are all symptoms or re-
sults of La Grippe. Herein lies the real
after dangers from this epidemic of iuflu-
enzu; it leaves tbe mucous membrane linings
of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes tender
and very susceptible to the catarrh , bron-
chial troubles aud pneumonia , which come
with February and March in our northern
climate. We shall still piu our faith to a
remedy for this after danger which acts
promptly to alUy iuflamatiou ; for therein
lies the chief dangers irom throat aud lung
troubles. And surely a remedy that has the
friends that Johnson's Anodyne Liniment
has, after eighty years' trial by a critical
public , and has' been used for the "grip "
more extensively than all the advertised
remedies, deserves, as we said, a medal , and
has bef ore It we hope a prosperous year as
au octogenarian I. S. Johnson & Co., Bos-
ton, Mass., the manufacturers , will send a
valuable pamphlet free.
