RUSSELL WOOLLEN MILLS.; Tz. terian Church last Sunday. It is in- deed a shame that in a quite village such as this, people from the surround- ing country are allowed to come here and under cover of darkness, commit such acts as have been committed on It is with regret that we refer to this matter, but we feel in our duty, to do so and the sooner the matter is attended to by parents such characters get our streets. the sooner will their just deserts. Then again the congregating on the street corners which is a nightly occur" rence and the language used by the gang, isnot fit for the ears of anyone. How long is this state of affairs to go on ?. Whose duty is it to see that it is stopped? The only answer is that so long as we are without the services of a policeman, just so long will this mob rule the streets. It is the duty of the village trustees to appoint a con- stable and see that he does his work properly. We might add to the Rev. gentle- man's remarks the necessity of having a truant officer. In our village, day after day you can see crowds of young boys between 6 and 13 years of age playing around on the streets, during school hours, while others are seen going off in the direction of the woods with a gun on their shoulder. Ask one of them to spell their own name, and only one out of ten will do so correctly. "We hope that it will not be necessary to refer to this matter again and that those whose duty it is to attend to it will awaken and do so at once. -- ee Cheese Board:-- There were over 6oo cheese boarded here on Saturday.

Every now and again a number put their heads to- gether and hold a dance. All wish, I understand, are permitted to attend. If a dirty scamp comes from any of the neighboring villages he may enter the hall unmolested, and secure the acquaintance of young t ladies present, and be as familiar with them while on the floor as though he were perfectly pure minded and their more 2, to young is the 2, who a Church Notes.

The dance origin ated around the false gods of our ancesters and often wound up with frightful excesses. It is sometimes little better to this day. To the all things are pure. It may be possible for a pure and spiritually minded person to dance, even with the im- moral, without personal danger, but for the sake of the weak the should refrain.
