A Brunswick rowdy put his poor old father to
rather poor use. Mr.. John Eaton old resi-
dent, a laboiing man, who worked on or about
the Androscoggin river when that river was filled
with RATS of logs making their way to the busy
mills, died one day recently. He had Just stepped
to the well for bucket of water and coming in
exhausted, sank down upon lounge, gasped, and
died. He was unfortunate enough to have a
drunken son. who was informed of his fathers
death, but who refused to 90 to the house Of
mourning and did not appear at the funeral He
however went to place where liquor was sold,
and represented, with tears in his eyes, that his
father was dead, and solicited little rum
which the doctor said was necessary to put upon
the face OF the corpse, that it might be preserved
in natural state until the funeral! With this
understanding the liquor was delivered, and with
it the recrcant son got "gloriously drunk" That
was putting the old man to a bad use.

The Band meets on the street Tor prac-

Hat alto are absent. They intend TO get y
teacher again this winter, and learn some
new music, so as to be prepared 10 play

Richmond, Who were short sighted
enough to bshevs that their own in
terests and also those of the city
would be advanced most BY locating
this shipping port for coal Within =
short distance of the city limits
This reminds one Of the tavern keep
CTS of western towns in the early
DAVIS Of railroads. They were Bit
terly opposed to connections. on the
ground that they would afford pts
sengers chance to slip though
town without being fleeeed fer bed
and breakfast. The western tavern
keeper takes broader and more gen.
erous views of these things BOW and
it is TO be hoped Nirginians will fol-
low their example.
We must not forget that this rail
read is only in its infancy. Those
who complain of short-sighted policy
in It's management shonld remember
that 420 miles of single-traek road,
with good but scantily supplied me-
tive power and rolling stock, cannot
meet the demands on it rs promptly
and satisfactorily as an older, better
systematized and double-traek road
can. 1t is not great many years
since the stock of the Baltimore and
Ohio, now one of the best managed
and most successful roads IN the coun
try. was a clancy" in the market,
oscillating between 20 and 26. The
country through which it passed,
however, possessed tie natural means
of supporting it, and as these became
developed success followed. Nor
must it be forgotten that the war did
quite as much toward placing the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad in its
present sound condition as is claimed
for Mr.. CARROTS financial ability and
economical management. Another
remarkable instance of railroad re-

be overcome by the road.
