rTHURsDAY.-United States Vi. William T. Sar-
gent. This it the case of the Postmaster at Kezar
Falls in Parsonsfeld, who is accused of delaying,
opening and embezzling letters 1t appears that for
two years past letters directed to Kezar Falls and
containing money, have failed to reach the persons to
whom they were directed. In one instance $50 were
lost, and in another $780, Suspicion fell upon Sar.
gent, anc the special agent Of the Post Office Depart
ment stationed at Bangor, Mr.. Carr, prepared four
decoy letters, directed to fictitious Names These let
tiers he sent to the post Office at Cornish and ordered
them to be forwarded to Kezar Falls One Of them
contained $40 counterfeit bill and another % cents
In genuine scrip. The letters forwarded and the
same week Mr.. Carr called at the Kezar Falls post
Office and demanded them. He found that one had
been torn open, and another had apparently been
tempered with, its edges showing decidedly ragged
appearance. Ipe.n this evidence an accusation was
lodged.
The defence called witnesses to prove that the
opened letter was directed to William Barker, and
that it was delivered to man of that name. Mr..
Barker discovered perusal that the letter did not
belong to him, and SO returned it TO the Office The
ragged appearance of the other letter was due they
claimed to the fact that Sargent perceived the cor
ner Of Treasury note sticking out of the letter ar-
ranged in order to attract his attention and push
ed 1t in with his pen-hoder. They called cloud Of
witnesses, some of whom had known the defendant
ever since 1924, to prove moral character and good
standing IN the community. Here they rested their
case. sa rr +-weg
The government brought forward some rebutting
testimony of little moment. Mr. Carr succeeded in
completely mystitying Judge, jurors and spectators
by detailed account of the useless, cumbersome and
wholly non-understandable machinery of the regis
tered letter business. This closed the testimony At
the conclusion of the argument for the defence the
court adjourned.

PITBLADo.-We would remind the citizens
not to forget the lecture by this reverend gen.
tleman, this evening, at the City Hall, on
Mind your own business" He is comparative
ly unknown to us. but the fattering reports
from the press in New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia, where he is known, lead us to believe
that he will handle the subject in mastery
and interesting manner. &.
The following is what the Colonial Times and
Patriot says of his peculiar and extraordinary
pulpit oratory:
"Who that has ever heard the Rev. Mr. Pit
blado, in his illustration of the love and power
of God, will ever forget it? While the hum
blest nearer can gather in the pearls as they
fall from his lips, the educated mind procures
feast as he follows him in his flights of imagery
treading over suns and worlds, and stepping
from system to system to the extreme limit Of
the automatically developed universe and
there God is seen by the eye of faith, guiding,
directing and watching over systems, worlds
and millions Of created intelligences; and then
with the tender and softest motion of ar au-
tumnal leafet in its descent ON ear}h, the mind
is as delicately and gently led roaming amongst
the sweet flowers Of the meadow, the brooklets
of the valley or mountain side and the warb-
ling of forest songsters, showing how the Crea-
tor has made everything beautiful, and delights
in that which possesses all the charming graces
and excellencies of his creative power. History
is ransacked and its riches absSFacted; science
is deprived OF its secret stores OF mystery, and
an nature seems but one large repository ever
at ms command, to illustrate the simple story
OF the cross, and bring sinners to God."
His pulpit ministrations are somewhat ex-
centric. resulting from very vivid imagina-
ton, which delights in pictures drawn from
the grand and beautiful in nature"
