Obituary.
In the death of Mr.. John A. Stevens,
our place loses another of its re-
liable men and longtime residents.
Mr. Stevens was born in this town, and
here spent his entire life. As Il citizen
and neighbor he was kind, obliging and
true. For many years as chief of the
police force, he had become pretty
thoroughly acquainted with the rougher
class in this community; yet we doubt
if the man lives who had aught against
him. In his official capacity he had
little ostentation or show of authority

had the SO bill IN his hand lis he I'M
locked his shop to pass out, turned
back moment for something. and then
struck directly for Woodlands store to
get that bill changed. OF course he
had the bill somewhere, us he was
making it his special business to get it
changed, and not finding it in his hand,
he readily concluded it WAS in his vest
pocket, but it wasn't. Then he went
back to his shop and locked. Finally.
he concluded that Il fellow who was in
the shop when he came out. must have
stolen it. So he took that ulsuSPcct-
ing youth into the back room and told
HIM to peel off, his clothes and submit
to Il thorough examination. But after
looking into the fellows ears, boots,
stockings, etc, and blowing into his
eyes, and hose, and pulling his hair.
he was thoroughly convinced that this
victim hadn't got that missing SO note.
Then he went out in the road and
looked and looked and didn't find it.
At last accounts Pierce hadn't found
his money. He begins to think its lost.

GELS. aS all must admit who have seen
some of his late work. The picture he
made of Mrs. Judge Royce of ST. AlhanS.
is Il marked example ; and one of still
greater merit perhaps, and of charming
beauty. is that of Il little three years
old girl of Col. Frankli Fairbanks. and
which now adorns the parlor of heI
uncle in New York City. We regret
that an early departure, in order to
reach its destination on New Years
prevented many from seeing this gem
of art. These pictures are photographed

shade all ordinary work. y visit to
