 LakeusUe. (Which wish to remark, and my language is plain; That for ways that are sharp and for deeds not in vain j" Boss Kelsey of our place is peculiar, and the same I'll now try to explain thusly: Charles has boat, the light of his eye and the pride of his heart. As the man said about the construction of wheelbarrow by his inventive son. "Johnny got up this all out of his own head, and has got timber enough left for another one." So Charles might have said about his boat, for his own brain conceived the model, and his own hands wrought out the conception, till at last 'sshe qoa1ked the ao0ter liEe thing of Ife. Original; patent applied for.) Imagine then if you can, for I shall not attempt to describe the feelings which overcame our amateur boat builder, when he learned that certain youth of Milesian extraction had trifled with his bonny boat, had clewed up the stud s'l jib-boom, ,reefed the after locker, ,scut- tied the main mast, and upon the upturned bottom had executed Celtic war dance. Up- on the ruins of SO much that was fair, Charles gazed for 0 moment, then dashing tear drop from his manly nose, he invoked the aid of Justice and followed hard after the fieeting criminals. Not long the journey nor vain the search. Like his namesake of Erie fame, Perry might have said five have met the enemy and they are ours" Young Bushnells barn, from which savory retreat they were brought forth to justice, redo lent with the fragrance of by gone ages. Mercy, tempered justice in the bosom of the offended Charles, and legal tenders released the odoriferous youth from the grip of the law and sent them on their way wiser, if not sweeter boys. Mot
 Our Cemetery :-Messrs Robbins Battelle of Norfolk; Roland Hitchcock of Win sted, and E. w. Spur, of Falls village, met in our village last Monday afternoon, as appraisers chosen by the Selectmen of our town, to appraise the land taken for the extension of the cemetery ill our village, to the road that leads from Salisbury to North Canaan. After viewing the land to be taken, they repaired to the town hall, and heard the testimony of between 20 and be incurred by the occupation of the land for the above named purpose. In their testimony, the witnesses varied in their opinions as to its value; some regarding it worth $loo, per acre more than others. Martin Decker claimed incidental damages, on the ground of the cemetery being loca. ted so near his house, rendering his prop erty less desirable, and consequently of less value. Daniel Pratt also made the same claim. Albert Moore made no claim o1 damages on account of land, but said he should bring an injunction against the town
 if any burials were made on the eas
 side of the yard, at distance from his house of less than six rods. The apprais
 CTS came to no decision while here, bu
 will make returns to the Superior court a
 it's next session in September. Eight diff
 ferent plans for laying out the yard wer'
 exhibited by MT. Wm. E. Pettee, county sur
 veyor. All of the plans displayed the mos
 excellent taste of that gentleman, ant
 should any one of them be accepted, ant
 the yard laid out in accordance herewith it could not otherwise result but in tn,
 establishment of beautiful cemetery. On'
 of these plans would be especially desir able. It provides for suitable space in thu center of the yard for soldiers monument The driveways in this plan, are very artis tically arranged.
