Last Saturday ''clean looking fellow"
dropped into Main street store and asked
the proprietor if he had serew-driver ne
would loan for a minute as he had tobae-
co box that he wanted to fix, at the same
time he displayed a small black walnut
box with screw head exposed on one side.
He was informed by the storekeeper that
he was Just out of screw-drivers, so the
clean looking chap explained how the box
was opened. A well known farmer who
happened to be present became very much
interested in this little box, and even sue
eeeded in opening it several times. His
skill was rewarded by ''chew" from the
box and also cigar from the clean fellow.
Another very clean looking chap now
made his appearance and purchased ei-
gar and soon, his attention was attracted
by this curious little box; he tried to open
it, but open it would not. He pushed and
twisted it and broke his finger nails in
the vain hope of seeing it open. The
clean chap No. said he C, ,uld open it,
and the farmer also said he could; but No.
2 claimed to be a mechanic and what
farmer could do a mechanic certainly
could; but he finally gave it up and said to
No. 1:
81 viii bet you 500 that you can't open
it"
No. 1. 81 haven't got 500, but 1 will
bet you my coat that can"
No. 2. "If you haven't got anything of
more value than that coat you had better
keep still" Then turning to the farmer
be repeated the offer to him.
81 will bet you $500 that 1 can open it, "
replied the tiller of the soil.
''If you dare not bet more than $500
you had better keep still too" replied No.
2.
The farmers pluck was now up and he
replied that he would make it SO against
$40. No. 2 accepted this offer and draw
ing from his pocket a roll of bills that
would make an editor sign, the stakes
were soon in the hands of an old gentle
man who was present.
1t was agreed that No. 1 should count
forty and if at the end of the count the
farmer did not succeed in opening the box
he should forfeit his SO.
The stake holder stood before them with
ten dollars in each hand and No. 1 COM
menced the count.
wo-three-four-" but the
id thing" would not open. The poor
farmer cast his eagle eyes at the ten dollar
bills and then at the bystanders. When
the count reached 80 he threw the box on
the floor and made grab for his money
and succeeded in taking it from the old
man.
The ''clean looking fellows" did not rel
ish the manner in which the bet terminal
ed, and things looked blue about the estab-
for few minutes, but the thing
was finally settled by the farmer setting
up the cigars.

On my arrival st the station. the first man
l met was our good friend Homer, whose
surname is GilkersOn, with his spike team
and bus, in good repair, to deliver Passen-
gers at the hotels or at any other point OF
destination, in good shape, and at low
rates. Homer proposes in the spring to
put in first class ivery-gOOd horses and
nobby carriages, for the accommodation OF
the public. He Is a jolly, good fellow
kind of heart and obliging, and worthy OF
better success than has thus far attended
him.
The goat association of Orwell is COM
plete success. and listened to its first ser

Robert Stewart of Kingsville, proprietor
of the great stone quarry in Windsor, has
begun spring business in earnest. He
is putting up large, four story house,
which he intends to occupy the coming
season. 1t is to be arranged for boarders.
He is also about to put up several small
houses for the accommodation of his men.
A grocery store is to be opened near the
premises, and considerable business actiyi-
ty is expected to spring up in the vicinity.
Mr.. S. has considerable push in him, and
evidently means business.
The narrow gauge railroad through
Windsor is still talked of, to make connec-
tion with other roads both north and south.
Hayes and Wheeler engross good deal

highly gratifed, and look forward with
high expectations for good results.

Tom Tuller has very fine pair Of black

got them to haul lumber, he says, but
probably the lumber hauled will be in the

Ad Myers fine bay gelding is looking

and shows what care and judgment can do

as handsomely in double team.

Thomas Barnum is an employe at the
L. S. & NJ. S. freight depot. Last Tues
day he was engaged in unloading some bar
iron from freight car and in running q
truck out, which was heavily loaded, one
of the wheels of the truck slipped from the
platform. Barnum got down between the
ear and the platform and with crow bar
was trying to throw the loaded truck back,
when the iron slipped of the truck and
striking him against the neck checked
him up against the side of the car. As
soon as the iron could be removed he was
lifted to the platform bHHt he remained un-
conscious for about ten minutes, ghen ne
was taken to his home. He is nov doing

are hardly aware Of the speed at which

are so gradual that person would hardly
think they we're on railroad train.

Victor Bennett, and WhaI Became Of
Him

NACtOE DcnncSts anu " nat DccAnAc VI
Him
On or about the 10th Of January last, a
young man in Wellington, O., received a
letter from this place. written by Victor
Bennett, stating therein that friend OF
his had been taken out of the great rail
road wreck at this place, and was taken to
his residence and cared for until he died.
Before his death he bequeathed his gold
watch to him, out of pure philanthropy.
He wrote the letter, stating the watch was
here, subject to his order, but bill of so
was incurred during his sickness, which he
wished Cancelled, before the watch would
be forwarded. Mr.. Strong, station agent,
received letter from the Wellington man,
asking if he knew of any such party. The
letter was referred to Postmaster Sexton,
who pronounced it gull or a plan 10 fleece
$40 out Of an innocent party. About
this time, Mr.. Sexton received letter
from Victor, requesting him to forward all
his letters to Westfeld, N. Y. At West
field, he ordered the postmaster to forward
his letters to Oberlin, o. At oberlin, his
girl, or intended wife, lived, who was or
dered to take them out and send them to
him under seal, in his own real name
Thomas W. Thompson, Westfeld, N. Y,
saying that Victor Bennett was an init
mste friend Of his, and he wished the let
ters. Occasionally Victor would come to
the surface, and write MIR. Sexton
"Why don't you send my mail slong?' In
the meantime, Special Agent Henry of
Cleveland, and Mcdonald Of Elmira, we're
duly posted on the young mans tricks,
and finally caught him at his fathers
house in West6eld. About two weeks ago
he was taken before the Q. S. court at Uti-
ca for hearing. The young man plead
guilty and was sentenced to the penitentis-
ry for one year. The court was lenient to-
wards the young man on account of re-
eeiving a numerously signed petition from
the citizens of Westfeld, asking mercy on
account of his previous good conduct.
Young Thompson is 10 years old, fax
en- haired, dreamy looking chap, and is the
last one to be suspected of cutting up such
dangerous experiments as this. "His girl''
was also summoned to Utica to tell why
she acted in the matter. She had promised
to marry the aforesaid Victor; the event
was to take place whenever he could raise
the funds wherewith to meet the necessary
expepditure-hence the sharp trick on his
Wellington acquaintance. The moral to
be drawn from this brief chapter of Victor
Benefits career is, don't marry until you
have accumulated sufficient stamps to de-
fray the expense Of a bridal trip from
Westfeld to 0beFlin and return, at least; /;
and a moral is here read to the young wo-
man who wishes to marry the first dreamy
eyed spugag, because she wants home, +"

The citizens Of Rome greeted deputs-
tion from Ashtabula, on Tuesday evening,
at the Congregational church for the pur-
pose Of inaugurating the Murphy reform
in that place. The audience room was fill
ed with eager listeners, among whom were
to be seen a good number of venerable
heads-raising the thought that evil habits
were not robbing them of half their days,
and that they we're God-fearing, full
grown people. There were many true
friends of the cause-sueh as the numer-
Gus Reeve family, who are always found in
the fore front Of reform, and such repre-
sentative men IS Capt, Ackley, Dea. Cras-
by, Nh, - Allen, ex-Sheriff Stilss-as
sturdy as the best for the right. A good
and eficisnt choir, provided with the
Bliss & Sankey collection, was in prompt
readiness, and rendered good service. At
the close, one hundred came forward and
signed the pledges ratio that puts the
Romans on proud footing with the most
forward and enthusiastic. While this was
pleasing to the deputation, it was also graf
flying to notice hearty demonstration Of
gratitude towards their guests, and feel
ing appeal not to leave them before the
movement had taken on more confident
and assured conference and consistence. A
second meeting was announced for Satur-
day evening, when it is hoped that some
OF our itinerant missionaries may be with
