William Manney was arrested i'll a
state of intoxieation and confined in Jail
the afternoon of the 2Sth ult. The fol-
lowing morning he was arraigned before
Justice Simmons and fined five dollars
and costs He also refused TO disclose
where he obtained the " fire water" a
pint of it being found in his pocket when
arrested, and for such refusal was recon-
mitted to Jail until he would divulge.
Ser0ed him right We are glad the JUS
tice is determined to follow up the thing
and get at the offender. that he may feel
the power of the law he has violated, in
furnishing this accursed poison to his fell
low mortal, to make wreck of soul and
body for time and eternity:
The stores of Jason Davenport and
l.. r. Sayre were burglariously entered
on the night of the 30th ult. From Mr.
d. some knives and forks and jack knives
We're stolen, and several KEYS to locks
were es.l.v.l mus armed the con-
sumate villains mean to attack dwelling
houses probably. Some little money was
taken from Mr.. D. Mr. Sayres is our
town liquor agent. The rascals helped
themselves to what liquors they wanted,
and tried his safe, which was too strong
for their purpose, and successfully resisted
all attempts to force it open. 1t was, how
ever sadly battered and almost ruined.
From Mr.. SIS some money was taken
from the store drawer. In both instances
the entrance was effected at the front
doors, breaking out glass and destroying
the sash.
Died in our village on the Goth ult,
Mrs. Bathsheba Morton, aged 90 years
and 364 days. Mrs. NJ. was most excel
lent woman, beloved by all who had the
privilege of her acquaintance. For al
most 80 years she. has lived and passed
through the severe and countless trials of
the early settlers of our country. She
well remembered the war of the Revolu-
ton, also that of 1912, and would tell
with much zest and relish the many incl
dents she was knowing to, that con-
tributed to render the war of the Revolur
ton of such thrilling interest to the early
settlers of the country. She was the old
est inhabitant of our town and think of
our county. But she has frcm a world of
trial and care, passed to the better land
where sorrow ne'er is known, where age
is youth forever young with her, faith is
lost in sight, hope in the full fruition OF
endless participation and sorrow in exult-
ant Joy. Blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord.
The good people of Weybridge Lower
Falls gathered at the Otter Greek House
at that place, kept by Ell. Tyler, last week,
and enjoyed an oyster supper. Nearly
$50 were present and with good cheer the
evening passed away. How pleasant such
gatherings, where neighbors can grasp the
friendly hand and renew friendships
formed years ago, and pledge each other
afresh the kindly offices of love and affec-
ton In this world so full of rough
in our experience, these genial
w " WGdl tlCih SiliOubly
and pave the way for the full flow of hu-
manity and christian regard. Humanity,
what abused more? How full of mean
ing? How blessed is the realization
Would there was more of it, and that it's
influence and power might
permeate all rank in society, breaking
down the barriers aristocratic caste has so
credited, and pouring forth
upon all hearts its mellowing, genial,
sway.
