It is an off week, these days, when. The Republican does not announce the inteded erection in Rensselaer of from one to three new residences. In every part of town, almost, new buildings are in process of erection or are newly completed, while others are anxious to begin to build as soon as carpenters can be secured. To the persisent vigor of Rensselaer’s building boom, much, very much, is owing to that most excellent and wetl flmnaged institution, the Rensselaer Building Loan <fc Savings Association, with its two series of 500 shares each, and monthly income of SI2OO or more. That income is sufficient to build one right good residence, every month, or two smaller but still comfortable ones. Let the good work still go on. Rensselaer is growing fast and its growth is mostly in the form of homethan house-renters. And that is what insures permanency and prosperity to our population. Our neighbor of the Sentinel accuses his “neighbor of The Republican” of being afflicted with “his annhal attack of hostility to cows running at large.’’ The cow subject is a very sensitive one to , our estemed neighbor, but still, as there is no polities in it, we had not supposed that he should find it necessary to misrepresent our position iu regard thereto. On the several occasions when we have discussed the matter at leDgth and have stated the variuus reaous why the running at large of cows in the town was disadvantageous

we have, at the same time, stated that, whi!e so much uninclosed land was lying within and directly about the town, to raise a dense growth of Vegetation to poison the air with mrflaria and to breed mosquitoes, ttje time was not fully ripe for cutting off the town cow in * the blossoms of her sins. Neither have we neglected to concede the fact that the privilege of keeping a cow which could graze the Commons during the greater portion of the year Vas a great boon to many poor families who otherwise would be denied the luxury of plenty of milk for their tables. We are therefore not in favor of an immediate withdrawing of the free cow privilege, although we think the time is not far off when that action will beapublic necessity. In the meantime, how would it do to adopt, as a compromise measure, the plan used in sotae towns of not permitting any person tp graze more than one cow upon the public commons? —with a proviso, for the benefit of our neighor of The Set*tine,l that two cream-colored Jerseys should count only as one whole cow.
