RUPERT.
The following is from the Salem
Press Of last week MONDAY evening OF
this week, party Of Frenchmeu came 10
this village from Rupert, TO celebrate on
the poor whiskey that our village affords,
They purchased a jug full Of aqaa .fortt,
and were joined by few Fenchmcn re-
siding here, and the party then sought loT
a quiet retreat where they would not be
disturbed by our lynx.eyed guardians OF
the law, which they found in the rear OF
the freight house, near the II. r. track,
Amer drinking about half the contents OF
the jug, they became uproarious, and fl
nally the Salem portion of the party, fear
ing that a constable or two might put in
an appearance and arrest them, they be.
ing residents Of another State, entered IN.
to an arrangement with John Johnson
whereby he was to apparently steal the
Jug and bring it to them just before the
midnight train came in, so that they
might finish Il in the cold water State
John cheerfully accepted the situation
and by a device obtained the jug in ques.
ton and started away with it, the Yer.
mont Frenchmen in hot pursuit. One
of them mistook freight car for John,
and hit IL, knocking the skin OF his
knuckles, but without doing any particul
ar injury TO the car Another one, more
fortunate, grasped John, but he got away
from him and made good bis retreat
The Frcnchmen from this place tried tc
cool their wrath, and tried to make it out
Joke, but il looked serious to them, and
they vowed yengenec on thats Heather
Chincc" who stole the Jug. The train
d arrived, but John did not "come to time,
and they departed on 1t, and each sworC
dig oath, that who ever stole the jug
should receive thrashing when they
learned who it was. They are now ask.
ing themselves who stole the rum? Il
John would only steal all the rum in Sa
lem he would be held in warm esteem by
our citizens. lie served the Frenchmer
right, and we trust he will act the SAINT
way in any similar emergency.
