Muse BE STOPPED. -Merchants should.. see °that refuse .papers, 'ez.c., from •.their 'stores are not along the street, or thrown carelessly into back yards from where they are blown into the". street by the first high wind. Besides littering the. street up in an unseeIy way, these flying _papers are dangerous in their effects upon horses, and many serious accidents have been known to: result therefrom: Thereis. a clause in one of the town' by-laws against this practise, and it should" be faithfully carried out..

A great many teams weremet on the road, which made it necessary to slack up pretty often. The trip hack -took somewhat longer: On Saturday, Mr. Coleman, of Seafortb, erode. up here in 45 minutes, "riding `up every, hill except Stapleton.

Clinton High School is the only one in ,-. the county that :is availing itself of the new regulation; and We have no reason to believe that the excellent reputation it has hitherto enjoyed as an educational in- stitution, will not be frilly sustained in the Suture. - Veen. -At about 11. o'clock Thursday night, the .,Record printing office was Ings, but the . Sun, published. where the meeting was held, had not. sufficient 'en- terprise to get a.report, and so steals oars, :without a word of credit. The Sun should stop lecturing other papers for this practice, and correct its own faults.", And, by the way, the Sun is not .the oly paper that ' appropriates from the' NEW ERA without; credit. -'• BRIEFS.-Mes'rs.
