The street and bridge committee

his assistantis in their examination of

been burned half in too, and in other
places where they have been found
dangerous. The close inspection of

ing can keep it from being a failure.
It is not right to put the pntire work
on the phon!.'lr'r of noce 4trry((, who
has to neglect his busiones -acid give
his time to the fair. Everv citizen in
the town and parish should take
enough of pride in such ans enterprise
as to Civ? a lit ti otf fi , tune to the fair
thiw falI, where every ,one is to be bene

fair last fall should certainly cause
themni to work that much harder for
the coming fair.
A publc meeting bhould be called
amid committees t, hould be appointed
to see that every delail is arranged avdi
carried out; and if it is, you will see
five times more people here than last
Sear.
Such a fair benefits the planters of
the parish and merchants of Provi

worth.
Last Tuesday n,orninmg a large num

etttly lifted off the screws were taken
out, or the hinges were broken. It
seems that the gates had to comle off.
Quite a number of the gates were car
rted to the Maguire & Schneider cor
ter where they were left. and where the
owners had to go to get them. 'The
gate of Mr. D)unn's was thrown tin
der the lake bank, where ft was fotund.
We hardly think it was the intention
to injure the property, of any one by
those who did the tmischief, but it is
pretty hard on those who have nice
flowers ad shbuberv to have it des
troyed by cattle that got in the yards
after the gates were removed. Sonme
of the cit zeus were very angry, and if
the persona'could be found out who
did it, they would certainly be pun
ished.
