The audience of the new church at North
Snapleigh found no pastor Sunday week. He
said he wouldn't preach if the society didn't re-
pair the church The funds were subscribed
but the work deferred for a time, which didn't
please the pastor.
The Sprngvale Reporter gives an account of
funny law suit in that town, brought in the
name of the state by Ira Bracket against John
Ill. Powers, for assault and battery on a boy
named George A. Bracket. Ira Brackett, the
grandfather, wanted the boy Georges hair cut,
and told the Boston barber to cut it as short
as he could over the comb. 1t was done so, but
that was shorter than they thought for, SO he
brought suit for damages. The family made
the boy eat with his hat on, cause they can't
bear his looks at the table, and don't send him
to school for the boys will laugh at him. No
malice was shown and the barber discharged.

in cases very similar to my own, with the
same good results. Yours truly,
