found a vest containing $3.50 in money, valu-
able watch and bank book. On examining
the bank book they found that the property be-
longed to citizen of Westbrook, and they kept
on their way to restore it to him. Pretty soon
they discovered him approaching them at full
speed, aud they handed him his garment and
contents. He said he had been in bathing and
in DOMINIC his garments had forgotten his vest.
So reoced was he, and SO full of gratitude,
that he took the young men to his residence
and treated them to sour apples! We trust his
liberality will not njure him.
