She now thinks of suspending wing to this unfortunate occurrence, her millinery department until fall, but will continue her dress makng work. Her prospects for the spring trade seemed flattering and The Democrat is sorry to know her plans have been thus foiled. Mr. Henry Brinkley has been appointed as night watchman for the town, he having the full power of the clay police, and if he finds any mischief being carried on he is vested with power from the town Aldermen to make arrests and bring to justice any violators of the town ordinances. i his is another good move by our progressive town, and those who hfkve a weakness for depredation; during the night may rest assured that they are being shadowed by the Argus eye of Brinkicy.

Some of his \ j bills may not appeal to you individi ually, but will to others. Anyway he ' has used his every energy to enact c into laws what he thought best for s i the county of his nativity. The ma- jor part of his bills are to be found i in this paper. 1 I .... ' ?
