our city that will not only proe a
source of revenue to the projectors of
the enterprise, but give our city a
prestige that other places have enjoyed
through the pro nulgating of the same
mode of do'ng business.
The first thing to be contemplated is
the forming of a "Commercial Club."
This club to form itself into a stock
company, shares bein? placed at 10.00
each Let this company organize with
the understanding that in one year ag
gressive moyements will be made to
purchase a suitable site to erect a large,
commodious building, the principal fea
ture being, that it snail contain suitable
space for an opera house. The impoit
ant feature regarding this movement,
should be so conducted that the hum
blest mechanic could buy stock if he so
desird. While the shares may be Slo.uo
let it be so arranged that the payment
of the shares will be dividid into four
equal payment during the year. In
this way, by judicious management,
and an enthusiastic effort put fourth, a
largt sum of money would lie in th.
hands of the treasurer of the Commer
cial Club, besides the accumulation

readily decide how to invest the money
accumulated in this systematical way.

The facts in the case are, that the

The trial of Wilber s. inn, occupied
the entire afternoon in justice Peeves'
court, and during the trial the well
known phrase of "Standing Koom,"
was visible to all those who attempted
to enter the hall of justice. It is truly
marvelous how a cae ,f this kind will

ual struggle was going on by those pres
ent to claim this piece of inoffensive
furniture, to get a glimpse of the plain
tiff in the case. Mr. Chas Kellison was
the attorney for the defense, and the
manner in which he handled the case
convinced those who look upon the case
ivith an impartial eye that the evidence
presented by the plaintiff was not per
tinent to the charge made. J udge Hess
handled the prosecution. While in our
estitmation Mr. Hill is not guilty of the
serious charge made against him, and
believe tie will be discharged when the
case convs up before the court, yet lie
has built up for himself an unenivable
reputation, not only in Plymouth, but
elsewhere, and it is to be hoped that the
lessons presented in the proscutions he
has gone through during the past
month, will lead him to be more cir

We have been informed by a little
'bird that hears a great deal, that some
of our democratic friends think the lx-
dependent is inclined to considerable
occasion to refer to the dog killer and
contends now as it did then that any
one who scatters dog poison promiscu
ously is beneath the respect of a decent
community. There is no excuse for
poisoning dogs at all.
If your neighbor's dog is dangerous

or annoying, or n you nave a gruuge
against him do not poison him. To ad
minister poison is the act of a coward.
