or two of his subordinates made descen,
upon W. II. Elliss premises in search Of
the "critter." They learned through somt
spiritual medium" that two barrels OF
whislSey had been unloaded in his barn
and locked up for safe keeping. After a
little rcconoitering about the premises, Mr.
Ellis was found, and the sheriff demanded
the key to the barn. Ellis said he would
find it. He soon returned, and the sheriff
received the key, and proceeded to the
barn and found two full barrels of liquor
lying quietly upon the floor, as if weary and
exhausted by their long night journey from
Whiting station to Middlebury. A truck
man was soon found, and the barrels were
carried to the town agency, and put in
charge of DR.. Rowley, the agent. A hear
ing was had, and Ellis claimed that his
health was bad, and, in accordance with
his physicians orders he was using liquor
for lung troubles. That he could buy a
barrel and save seventy-five cents on a
gallon by doing So lie assigned that as
reason for purchasing so large quantity at
a time, and asked the jury to render unto
Caesar that which was Caesars :" but they
didn't see it, and con6scated both barrels,
amounting to SS4 gallons, and costing in
market $256.00.
Two young men working in the paper
mill had some ''unpleasantness' on We'd
nesday last, and one knocked the other
down, and cut his lip so that he bled pro-
fusely The assailant was brought up and
examined, and fined ON Saturday. Costs

On Saturday there was quite an exciting
time in the editors Office of the Middlebury
Register. 1t seems that patron went in
to settle an account with the editor, and
some difficulty arose which increased by
hard and defiant words, until they talked
of clicking" one another. The editor
raised his editorial chair, and the customer
took off his coat. Finally the chair pre-
vailed, and the customer was induced to
leave the premises.
On Sunday morning George Norton met
the Frenchman, Brasson, and demanded
that he should fulfill some agreements
made by Brasson. High words passed be-
tween them, and soon George event for
him." cuffed his ears, and committed
other slight depredations upon his corpo-
rosity until he cried out "bloody murder"
When Argus sent you his last dispatches
from this usually quiet town, he thought
d that he wouldn't be troubled to make out a
''mess" for another week, but you will see
by the above that he was never more mis-
taken. The moral cancer which are upon
our community, and has seemed to be
grQMippg larger and spreading wider, "broke
to their great disgust. Argus may take his
scalpel in hand one of these days, and feel
the pulse of the patient, and see if there is
moral strength enough in the system to en-
dure the operation of removal" If so,
he will give you the results.
1t is with great pleasure that we read the
following article which appeared some
weeks ago in the Galena ILL.,, Gazette. Mr..
Huntington partly learned the printers
trade in Middlebury, but removed with his
good friend and patron E. II. Quaett, to
Buffalo, where he finished his apprentice
ship, and then went to Galena and pub
lished the Galena Gdzette for number of
years, making it one of the best looking
papers published in the west at that time
"Warren w. Huntington, our late post
master, has just received meritcd token
of recognition from the government, in the
appointment of a special agent at large for
the postoffice department. The salary of
the office is 81 800 per year, with an allow
ance of $500 day for subsistence, and a
pass over all the railroads in the United
States.
Personally, there are few better men
anywhere than w. w. Huntington. Gen.
erous, noble, and always efficient in what,
ever he undertakes, he wins friends, and
richly deserves them.
In matters connected with the postOtfict
department he is peculiarly at home, his
twelve years service in the post office al
Galena having made him familiar will
whatever pertains to that portion of thu
civil service of the government.
We congratulate our friend Huntington
upon this appointment, and the government
for making it, for we know that Mr.. Hunt
ingtons experience, ability and consci
entious devotion to duty will make him III
efficient officer.

slow lingering fever, and is under the ply
sicians care at the residence of Olive

her for the past few years.
We have another new physician in town

rooms in Buttolphs block, where, it is sale
he can be found, unless out ON professions

him, but he looks like man of brain
His success where he has been Gale
would indicate that he knows how to III
" common sense with science, which is qui
important when a fellow is just hanging
the brittle threads of life.
