street Life in Danbury.

Old Mr. Watson, on Nelson
street has got nice little bill to
pay. He sent a man down town
for pot of paint and a ladder
The man got the paint an then went
to a lumber yard after q ladder.
Then he tied the paint pot on the
end Of the ladder, and put the lad
on his shoulder. This was a very
smart arrangement, and the man
himself admired it very much.
lie started for home thisway, and
didn't tind apy trouble in getting
along the first block, because peo-
pie had an impression that a long
ladder with pot of yellow paint
dangling on the end Of it wasn't ex-
actly the thing to tritle with, SO
they balanced along on the curb
stone, or rubbed up against the
buildings. Pretty soon the man
saw somebody in a store he knew,
and he turned around to speak TO
him, and drove one end Of the lad
der into a millinery case and knock
ed the crown ont Of an$l8 bonnet.
Then he backed off in alright, and
knocked down two sewing machine
agents with the other end Then
he started to turn around, an old
gentleman who was desperately en-
deavoring to pull his wife out Of
danger, saw the peril, and shouted
out, "Hi, there!" but it was too late.
The pot struck against an awning
post, tipped to one side, aud the en-
tire contents went over the aged
couple. This SO startled the man
that he whirled completely around
smashing III an entire storefront,
frightening a milkman's team and
knocking over some thirteen persons
who were actively dodging about
to get out Of the way. Then he
dropped the ladder and fled into
the country, shouting murder
and fire at every jump. A regular
ordained painter is now engaged Oh
Mr.. Watson's house.

A Dog WORTH S0METHING.-The
following Is from the Portland lMe.)
Press: A. B. Newman. assistant light
keeper at Mt. Desert, is the owner OF
a fine Newfoundland dog, ofwhom we
are told tie following aneolote: On
Sunday, the 10Th ult.. Mr.. Newman's
little boy, fifteen years old, strayed
away and was missing for about two
hours. fhe mother went out of doors
and called to him, When the dog, in
response, ran up from the shore with
the boys wet cap in his mouth, and
signified by bis actions that he desired
her to follow him. The mother,
alarmed called the father, who was
sleeping in the house. and they follow
ell the dog as quickly as possible.
Down by the shore on a rock, the
little boy was lying insensible, his
clothes wet, as ifhe had been dragged
from the water. After long efforts. in
which the dog rendered all the assist
ance he could in his way, the boy was
resuscitated, and afterward told his
story. He was on tie beach gathering
shells when a large wave came in and
carried him off in the undertow. The
dog jumped in after him. but the wave
prevented him from reaching the boy
for some minutes. He seized him by
the leg of his trowsers and tried to
drag him ashore. but the cloth tore in
his teeth, and the boy said HI had an
indislinct recollection of the dog COM
ing down below the surface for him
again, and that was the last thing he
was conscious Of. 1t seems the dog
had dragged the child upon the
rock out Of the reach of the high
waves, and had tried TO restore him.
When he heard the mothers call he
took the cap to inform her, as well
as he could of the accident, and hast
en- assistance.

The Coach has neither politics

The Coach has neither money

We have no list Of exchanges,

says anything mean about us, we
desire a copy. If anything good,
they can keep it to themselves.
Our stock Of modesty is barely
sufficient for our own use. We
have none to sell, and don't know
any one in these parts that wants
to buy any.
