SMALL DEMONSTRATIONS two years
ago VIM. Twombly lost a buffalo robe
at the hands Of some sneak thief, and
from that day to this his eyes have
not been blessed with the sight there
Of In October last Jacob Gray lost
whip, which was taken from under
the shed at the centre meeting house.
and about two weeks ago Mr.. Gray's
sou met a Mr.. Wilson in tue road
with the whip in his hand, when rec
ognizing it, he asked Mr. Wilson how
he came 10y it, who told him that /
was one his son had bought some
where. Young Gray then saw Osca,
WiIson-the son-and accused hin
of stealing the whip, which he owned
promptly, adding that he " should no
have taken it, only he thought it be
Iopgod to VIM. Twombly." Perhap.
this remark may afford a suggestion
as to the direction taken by the buffa
10 robe when it left its owner two
years ago. Do the people in that vi
ciniIy think it unwicked to steal from
Twombly? What thing to pilfer i
a whip
