The de termination was freely expressed thai unless certain ordinances were prompt ly complied with , the superiority of the ordinances would be vindicated. .Eithci revoke or enforce. Several -parties indulged in racing their horses on West Dennison street , Sunday afternoon , contrary to the ordi nance of the village. If you want te race your horses , it strikes us that the race course is the proper place , am week days the proper time to do so. I ] you do not have any regard for the day out of respect for the feelings of thos < who do , aesist. It has been suggested to us that w < call the attention of the proper partie ; to the condition of our streets when the water mains cross them. The eartl at some of these places has sunk : number of Inches , and make a danger ous rut to drive over. We hear of twi or three buggies having been broken ii this manner , and it might not be amis to have the ruts filled up. From Denver to McCook is a lonj time between drinks even for the he roic dude , as was again evinced by tin Undudefied hastes with which a spider legged member of tht genus rushed u ] town from the depot , Saturday aftei noon , after No. 40 arrived.

J. F. will hav have to exercise his mouse-colore equine more freely to" forestall futut contingencies of a similar nature. ' A spirit of improvement has take possession of our business mon. Free and Hocknell 'have remodeled the re ; of their office , until recently used as sash room , and converted it into a pi vate office , which they have fitted n very neatly , and now have one of tl most pleasant offices in town.

The actions of thesd shadowed parties was fetich as to excite ! the suspicion of some 6f our citizens , and from circumstances related , it is not improbable thut the steps taken in remaining up all night , saveel then stores from being robbed. We are of opinion that it-would be to the advan tage of our business men to raise suffi cient means to employ a night watch man. An effort has been making in that direction , but we believe the amount subscribed is still some dollar ? too small. That we are most likely k be afflicted at different times witli tough customers , "to be forewarned , " maybe , "to be forearmed. " A young man representing the Crete Nursery has been in town , all week , assisting those of our citizens who or dered from .that firm , in planting theii trees , hedges , etc. If all the towns in the valley do as , well in the way of ob serving Arbor Day as McCook , the } have dpne'well ' indeed. A row of fine trees has been planted , on Madisor street , from J. B. Meserve's corner te the north corner of J. R. Phelan'i j property , which will add immensely tc the appearance of the- street if thej grow , and with our superb water facil itics there can be little question bu that they will. Messrs.

G. W. Daniel ; planted a row of trees along the nortl and west sides of his residence , am otherwise improved the already nea appearance of his yard. A. M. Kclle ; and others have done likewise. In company with Squire Fisher am A. E.
