thumb hand corner of his eyes. His head resembles the small boy's

back. Too much liquor brought on the trouble.

Bad Boys
Mr. Geo. Powers complains that a number of boys congregate in front of
his residence on the Sabbath day, and make life a burden by their
hideous yells, and rude actions. He wants to know what can be done to
stop the nuisance. The parents of these boys should surely have respect
enough for the public and themselves to look after their children and
see that their actions are such as not to annoy others. Let us hope
that no further allusion to this evil will be necessary, and that it
will be stopped.
