however, denies it, and declares he was moi
out Of bed at the time of the shooting. but
thc general impression is that the testimony
OF the dying man is true. The probable res-
son IS that the boy regarded the deceased a.
an intruder in his mothers house. He hal

Years, IN unlawful intimacy, as is supposed,
her husband being dead, and McMenomy' )

Great Men Of New England.

New England has now committed to the

that are always ready to crack joke or pct
petrate a "sell."
Some fifteen years ago Ben was travelling

would call for his passengers. stating that he
could not delay minute, on account oil max
ing his time. They would rush out leaving
their meal half finished, for fear Of being left.
For the half finished meal they charged half
n dollar. The victuals were kept for the
next load Of passengers, when the skinning
process was repeated.
Ben. had heard Of this place, and when
they arrived ut the hotel he set his wits to
work to sec if he could get the full value OF
his money. The bell rang for dinner, and
the crowd rushed in. They had scarcely got
comfortably seated when the coach refined up
to the door, and the driver vociisrously shout
ed:
"Passengers oil abosrd-can't wait but
FIVE minutes"
A general rush was made, but Ben. sat
still, and ate his dinner very composedly.
The stage drove of and left him, but he
