Of robbing the cars of the Central
railroad is once more incarcerated in
that institution. He was bailed by
William Quimby, of Sharon, and
went down there to live, but soon got
into trouble about stealing sheep,

7 The WIFE SELLNG.-Some time
since there was a case reported in
these columns of man selling his
wife in Sheffield. The item has trav-s
eled over the country pretty exten-
sively and other papers have been
calling for the names OF the parties
I We have recently heard more about
/ the case. The original owner Of the
property was William Welch, who
moved to Sheffield from Canada, and
while there the wife formed an attach
ment for James S. Drew, which Welch
at first protested against, but after
a square talk with his wife and being
informed that she kinder liked Drew
the best" be in a business manner,
transferred her to Drew and left the
place. These facts come from resi-
dent of the town who is ready to
vouch for the truth.-Lyndon Union.
i ATTEMPTED ROBBERY. = Last Sat
urday night, a French man named
Lewis Du8ett,an employee of the rail
road company, who occupies a shanty
in the Irish village east of the shops,
/. left the shops after dark to return to
his home. Several men were board
ing with him, for whom he had got
4 500 from the company. As he en-
tered the woods man attacked, him
with club bringing down tre-s
mendous blow towards his head which
was warded off, and grazed down his
side, tearing off one.leg Of his panta-
looms. Dusett then knocked the
man down with his fist and supposed
he would lay there till he, could 90
home and return with lantern. But
the man did not see fit to do it. When
Dusett returned with his friends, the
man had gone and there is no knowing
who the robber was or his where
abouts.-L5ndon Union.
