The audience was not large «not near as large as it ought to have been, but it. showed its appreciation in the most. demonstrative applause, and insisted upon the appearance of the lead- ing rformers before the curtain.

Editor South Nor-walk Snmmsm—Al- low me to draw attention to the danger- ous state of affairs at the brid over the railway at Springwood. It s infested nightly with a gait of "hoodlums" who annoy ferns es and others by their lewd and insulting re- marks. Should. any luckless wight rc- seni: their remarks they wait till he goes under the bridge an then throw large stones on him from their post of vanta as they will not. face anybody who mig t chastise them for their insulting conduct. if these loafers could be driven away from the railway at night it would be a blessing to the residents of Spring- wood who have endured this nuisance till it. has grown to greater proportions than is bearable. It is a growing evil which should be checked in the bud as the gang is growing in numbers and the winter nights are approaching. C. P. NOR\\'ALK. ls it license or no, next month ?
