Blyth: The conduct of some of the young men in town, towards three young ladies, on Sunday evening after churcbh was anything but creditable, in fact their actions were those of gen- uine rowdies. One of the young ladies insulted is visiting friends in this lo- cality and we are sure that after her experienceon Sunday eyening she will not return to her home with a very favorable impression of Blyth afid its inhabitants. To make matters worse one of the young men concerned is con ducting a business in town, while sev- eral Of 015 associates hold positions in reputable business houses; and some- thing more honorable would be expect- ed of them than a public exhibition of rowdyism. The next time such con- duct conaes under ottr notice we will not hesitate to pulish the names of the guilty ones. We might also suggest to the Chief that in fettire he come out of his place of seclusion a little earlier tied try and not let a repetition of this row - been confihed to their beds all winter, dyism occur again.
