"A lady stopped the milkman
as he was passing the house the
other day and inquired the price of
milk by the quart, putting up her
ear trumpet to catch the reply. The
milkman drew a quart of milk and
emptied it into the trumpet, and
the result has been that lie has to
go a mile out of his way to keep
out of sight of the lady, who sits
OH he front porch with u shot gun
watching for him to pass.
On the night of the oath some
tramps visited the premises of JAS.
ii. Armstrong, and prowled around
his house for three or four hours,
visiting his cellar and barn. Arm
strong had been selling property
by auction that day and had eigh
or nine hundred dollars in cash and
notes, and his idea was that they
wanted to get him ont Of the house
to follow them and then a part of
the gang wonld get in and gobble
his money, which he had placed
under his pillow. 1t is too bad that
he had not on hand some instru
ment for placing mark on some
of them by which they could be re-
cognized by daylight.
MIR. Asa L. Pickett, son of
John b. Pickett, Esq, of this town,
arr for several years past station
agent at Nashna, N. H., mysteri-
ously disappeared from his home
on Wednesday of last week. UpI
the present writing the search for
him has developed nothing further
than that Mr.. Pickett was in New
York city on Saturday. His books
and accounts have been examined
by experts and are pronounced all
correct. The cause of his sudden
disappearance is mystery, though
his friends are inclined to attribute
it to temporary insanity.
