COlebreOk.

One of the legal fraternity from
Lancaster was in town last week, and
thought he would invest in horse flesh
He soon found an opportunity where,
as he thought, speck could be made.
Consequently he paid $50 for noble
looking and clear cut horse, and evil
IDENTIFY thought be was in hack, as to
oil appearances the horse was worth
SITS. But he soon found that the
horse was not worth a dollar. Then
what should this disciple of Blackstone
do, but try to trade back. The jockey
however was firm and would not
comply with the request; whereupon
Mr.. lawyer suggested to the horse sci
Ter that he would give him credit for
the amount. BY this time the jockey
wanted to take the horse, but the legal
gentleman was firm and would not
consent. Thus they separated.
Query Which got cheated?
On Monday, July II, G. A. Gleason
and E. s. Smith, entered complaint
against b. G. Courser, Warren G..
Uough and Allen 5. Mathews, all of
st. Johnsbury, for fishing in Diamond
Pond with seine, on the 18th. The
respondents were all arrested and
brought before justice II. b. Parsons
for examination. The parties asked
to have it continued until Aug. 14th,
which request. WAS granted, and the
parties were delivered to the Sheriff
for safe keeping. The same parties
came out here hast SIMMER set q net
in the pond ami caught $50 lbs. of
trout and the citizens of this place
long ago determined to prosecute
them if they tried the game again.
1t is needless 10 say that all of the
business men Of this place are for
having the law enforced, and put n
stop to this kind of fishing VIC believe
the authorities intend to prosecute
every offence Of this kind that comss
to their knowledge and put them
through as far as the law will permit
and thereby teach the offenders
that fishing with net is "played out. "

by the appearance in town of tramp
bearing unmistakable signs of in
sanity, and who seemed intent on in
fiicting personal injury upon those he
met in the highway with n large
cudgel which he carried. He called
at the house of Edmund Swan and
asked for food, and while Mr.. S. was
in act Of giving him some he struck
him a blow with his club across the
wrist inficting painful wound. He
was arraigned before Justice Fletcher
L. Bean on complaint for assaulting
Mr.. Swan, and sentenced to pay a
fine of $40 and costs. Failing to pay
he was ordered to be committed to

taken the same day by Constable
