A girl Of II, who applied for lode-
ings at the New Haven Conn. station
house, Saturday afternoon came all the
way from Michigan, starting with only
81, and walking most of the way, to get
to her home at New Haven, VI, Reach
ing Troy eight days previous she was
confined in the hospital there, but as
soon as able came to Springfield, where she
took the train for New Haven, c., by
mistake. If the girls story can be be-
lieved, it evidences a peculiarly sad case
of betrayal, calling earnestly for public
sympathy.
South BRisToL.-To borrow one of the
quotations of Fanny Fern, Frenchman
when asked why he built so narrow
house and so high up in the air, replied
Gland was cheap there" and we begin
to think writing is cheap in South Bris-
tol, when veracity, honor and sell respect
are all ignored, to produce a few items to
attract the attention ofthc public. Like
many other places there arc a few here
who are no: supplied with Msiness of
their own and consequently must attend
to their neighbors. Even that might do
no harm only it appears their brains have
become affected with so many and pro-
longed flights of imagination, that it is
to elicit the truth, only as you
deduct two thirds and guess ut the rest.
But they do not disturb our most SUBJ
stantial, reliable and upright neighbors
who plod along, attending to their own
business, not even stopping to think they
are not as well known the world over as
in South Bristol. s.
