"A most disgraceful, shameful
and outrageous affray occurred in the
factory at North Hartland last week
Tuesday, between Ephriam Morris o.
Hartford, and Oliver Brothers, Jr., Of
Hartland. Morris, we understand
was the first to pitch in. Brothers
being to much for him he called one
of the workmen, they together sue
ceeded in putting Brothers out of the
factory, though not until they had 50
severly injured him that medical aid
became necessary. Both are owners
in the factory. Brothers is in very
critical condi,ion--so says his physi-
clan. Morris we understand is a dea
con in the church, at Hartford.
The ball at the four corners, last
Tuesday night, was not very well pat
ronized About 20 couples went in
for q good time, and, had one too.
-Forty-fye couples attended the
ball at the Pavilion House last Friday
night. And they all had splendid
time.
We should say that our farmers
were doing a big business, by the
loads Of wood and lumber that pass
through the streets.
--Britton, Taylor, IL French are
doing, and have been doing good
business for few weeks past, in buy
ing cattle, sheep and poultry.
Some miserable, dirty, sneak,
thief, stole four or five whips ut the
ball last Friday night, at the Pavilion
House. a being that wears the hui
man form who will stoop so low as to
commit such little dirty deeds Is not
fit to live in any decent society.
Owing to the disastrous affair
which occurred to our towDsman,
Oliver Brothers, Jr., Nlitt says he
shall not build the Hotel at North
Hartland, spoken of in the last weeks
AGE, as he, being an old man, may not
be able to hoe his row with the people
of that place, that is, if there should
be any deacons among them. Mitt
says that deacons are hard boys to get
along with, when they have plenty OF
help. Go in Mitt and do your level
best. We will risk you old boy, for
you are good for two deacons any
way.
1.-Two OF our citizens, last Friday
night, feeling the spirit of 70 string
within (also the spirit of nut cakes),
thought they would have a little fun,
so they squared off and let in lick
The result was one got 4 lick that laid
him out.

There will be appropriate services
on Christmas day at ST. Johns church,
and on Sunday following children
meeting at 2 o'clock, p. M, and the
usual service at 6 p. m. The seats in
st. Johns church are all free, and ev-
cry one are cordially invited to attend
services there.
The "Grand Gift BALI at the
Mansion House hall did not pan out
so as to leave very great "Bonanza'
for Mark. Times are hard, and mon
ey short, and Though well backed up,
the little 81 blind found no one
ready to see it. The gift programme
was withdrawn, and Il small company
gathered in the hall and had jolly
good time. The music was fine, and
the table all that could be desired.
Quite an excitement was caused,
about 9 o'clock last Friday evening,
by a cry of fire. Notwithstanding the
bitter cold the streets were almost in.
stantly filled with people. and in five
minutes the fire engine was manned
and on the way, but before reaching
the seat of the conhlgration it was
ascertained to be only John Herrick's
chimney burning out. Some good
came out of it however, in demon
strating that we have live fire com
pany, and showing with what celebrity
they can put their machine in position
for business.
Another alarm OF fire greeted
our ears Monday night-or rather
Tuesday morning at / o'clock.
While the night Waterman at Abbott's
steam mill was going his rounds, his
lantern exploded and for a few mo.
ments it seemed that calamitous fire
must be the consequence. He imme-
diately sounded the fire alarm, but
succeeded in smothering it before any
damage was done
Monday morning the mercury in
dicated 36 degrees below zero. Tues
day morning 81 degrees above zero at
the same hour,-a difference of tenn
perature Of 70 degrees in "a hours.
Monday morning everybody was hur-
rying with might and main to keep
from treezing-all white with frost.
Tuesday morning, no overcoats re-
quired, robins fitting about, the melo-
dious sound of the crow heard in all
directions, little suffering showers
every now and then, just as Ii sum
mer time had come
The court at Chelsea this week
calls away the lawyers and other bad
people, so that society may now
breathe easier, little children go cut on
the streets and walks and enjoy their
little sports, with no one to modest or
make them afraid. Such opportuni-
ties are to us socially, what the Oasis
in the Great Desert is to the almost
furnished traveller

THOMPSON vs.. TOtman.
TRESPAS5.

IRESPAsS.
The subject of quarrel in the above en-
titled cause was an old eve sheep, which
the plaintiff claimed the Totmans had I'm
lawfully got possession of. Two suits grew
out of the matter-one in trover against the
father, and one in trespass against the son.
Of the latter, the following, which came to
us by hand of ----, purports to be an
authentic record:
One Thompson, miller, a sick peltcr had,
| Which Totman-a neighbor unlawfully bad,
Did take from the fold of this man of corn
meal,
Or, in language Of law, did lawlessly steal.
Said Thompson was wr0th with the whole
Totman house,
And would have what he owned, if 'twcre
but louise
So, with ethical notions of me,tna and t,sam,'
He resortcd to law, and straightway did
sue til.
Father Totman he sued in action of trover,
For wrongfully taking this mutton estover
But from the son of his father, the Totman
first named.
BY an action of trespass he would wrest
what he claimed.
This action of trespass is now being tried,
And each party swears as hest suits his own
side.
WAS the plaintiff the owner? Or was the
defendant ~
Is the point of the case on which It's
dependent.
Now the said plaintiff claims that hole
in the ear
Proves the property his, and is willing to
swear !
That peculiar formation Of facial expression |
Makes him sure that said sheep was his
lawful possession
The defendant in answer sets up for defense,
That the hole in the ear is all pretense,
And the face of sheepis no demonstration
Who sustains to said sheep legal relation.
Now the Jurymen wise can't show their
sense stronger
Than to say "That clients than sleeps
ears are longer y
And the Court will prom ounce, without
forms or ':aforesaids,"
That, as matter of law, the parties are
mutt0,l-hea0s.
Court House, Dec. 18th, 1875.
Another ''ode" on the same subject
Allen had little lamb,
With fleece all white as snow,
And eray where that Allen went,
His lamb wasn't sure to go.
On Totmans land he strayed one day,
Which was against the rule,
For lambs, with Totmans, long to play,
And thus their Shepherd fool.
One ear was long, the other stunt,
His skin replete with rolls,
One ear was cropp'd, the other punc1di
The sheep indeed looked droll.
This surely was funny lamb,
And all the neighbors knew him,
And all the skill in "1Otnan A,ad,"
Proves vain against Aliens sueing.

There is a fact lately come to light,
in q smalItown where there is a great
deal Of primitive simplicity, that the
presentation Of shirt by woman
to the man she wants to marry will
cut the heart ont of love. One young
girl tried it, and made her lover a
glistenflg white shirt with her own
pretty hands. lie retired to his
boarding house. put it on. and went
straightwav to see and make love to
another girl. Clad in a clean shirtg
he felt above the seamstress who had
made it, and she lost his coveted COM
pany. She did not sit down and
whine over the linen that had gone
Hstray. but took a pistol in her deli
cate hands and tripped away to the
boarding house aforesaid. She met
the unsuspecting lover, and, present
ing the pistol. told him to take off
that shirt. He hesitatcd and was
lost. He saw desperation in those
eyes and death in the pistol. He
peeled and handed the girl the soil
ed garment, which she took on the
point Of her pistol and poked into
the stove. And the flame died ont
and her love went up the chimney
with the smoke.
