The Wing says that the case of State vs..
George ID. Stowe and Benjamin f. Terry
was taken up again in the Police Court Tues
day. Our readers will remember that they
were arraigned on Thursday, charged with
obtaining 100000 from Joseph w. Pollard
of Oldtown, under false pretences, but no ex-
animation was had, and the case was con-
tinued until after Christmas. Hon. G. p.
Sewall of Oldtown, with G. Brown, ESQ, of
Bangor, appeared for the prosecution, and
Hon. w. ii. NcCrillis of Bangor, for the re-
spondents. The case excites considerable
interest in that vicinity, and the court room
was crowded with spectators. The warrant
charges the respondents with Cd. obtaining
money under false pretenses, and (2) con-
spiracy to obtain money of complainant. The
investigation is now in progress.
A courageous Kennebec correspondent of
the Machias MON writes to that paper: The
grasshoppers did bad thing for our farm
ers, but they don't intend to ''lay down in the
ditch" and give up in dispair on account of
the grasshoppers. Their ''heads are up
and they will do more farming next year,
than they have done any proceeding year.

Mrs. L. A. Pollard, the wife of the histo-

had a case before the circuit court for the

papers with sensation. More than two
years ago Mrs. Pollard came to Washington
and made contract for running kind of
boarding house, called.by her the St. Cloud
Hotel. She was to have one fifth of the pro-
fits. In few months she and Lyon, the
owner of the house, had trouble, the stories
of which afforded good deal of scandalous
gossip. The result was that Mrs. Pollard
was taken to an insane asylum by Lyon.
When she recovered her reason she brought
three suits against him, lone for damages for
violation of the hotel contract, one for SLAM
der and one for assault In the first one the
trial was concluded Wednesday, and she was
awarded $1,000. No more scandalous and
indecent testimony was ever put before
| court or printed in the newspapers. It is
stated that Lyon has suffered to the amount
of $4,000 by his connection with Mrs. Pol
lard, but it does not appear that either of
them have any reputation at stake The
