the administration of our new village grand
| juror, took place at the office of Bromlt y
and Clark last Thursday. 1t was against
seven youngsters for alleged depredations
at the school rooms in the town hall build
ing. The trial attracted the time and at
tention of one justice of the peace, two
lawyers, six jurymen, eight or ten witness
es, and a crowd of spectators, for hall
day. The jury acquitted the respondents
higher than kite, in less than no time, as
the case was not well founded.

During the past winter, the new and
commodious lookup in this place has been
found extremely convenient for the keep
ing of tramps over night. Quite flourish
ing, if not lucrative business has been done
in this line, from time to time. But ON
Saturday, the Sth inst, said institution was
used for its legitimate purposes, the safe
keeping Of one Wilmington, who gave such
unmistakablc indications OF being 'three
sheets in the wind" that the lock up
seemed the most suitable place for his tenn
porary sojourn. But "Chariey' didn't
seem to take the attentions bestowed on
him kindly, and no sooner had he been left
sole occupant of 'Howes hotel" than he
began to move on his surroundings in a
very demonstrative and effective manner.
He first conceived the idea that the stove
would be better without legs than with,
so displaced them, and passed them
through the grated window, they finding
lolgment in the snow outside. The effect
of lowering the stove any where from
eight to ten inches, was to disjoin the pipe
and allow the smoke to take full possession
Of the apartment. ConoeIving tho notion
that he could use still more smoke to good
advantage if he only had 1t, he gobbled up
pillow and blanket, which made part OF
bed standing near by, and applied q
match to them. While these were crenat-
ing, he turned his attention TO a mattress,
and by the aid OF his jack knife, demon
strated to his entiie satisfaction Of what
material 1t was composed. by this time
he began TO realize he had rather more
amoke On his hands than he knew precisely
what TO do with. To save himself from
outright suffocation, lie again went to his
securely grated window, and succeeded in
partially raising it, thereby COMPRISING
his visage into decidedly dminutive pro-
portions, lie succeeded in obtaining q few
whiffs Of fresh air, which probably saved
him from becoming what lie was very fast
OF ai,linor hot IN in and rpalifV
the status of first class smoked herring.
| AT this juncture, the jailor, Lester
| Howe, thinking he would see how his pris-
oner was getting along stepped into the
apartment aud found things Us stated
above lie soon had matters reconstruct
ed and his prisoner where he could not
| "cut up" on so extensive scale. The fl
male of the matter, as we learn, was that
| the knight Of the wood saw, paid some
seven dollars TO even up the damages and
was let loose again.
1t is but Just to Charley" to say that
aside from this particular irregularity
which once in while gets the better of
him, no one has occasion to go very much
back on him. He is a smart fellow in the
line of work, and ii be makes good use OF
this experiment, and 10 careful not TO re-
peat it, it may not, perhaps, in the long
run prove altogether a proftless invest
ment. tf
