The Work of the Grand Jury.

The grand jury were in session just a
week, being discharged on Tuesday
last. They found twenty-six true bills,
among which was an indictment against
Richard E. Peabody in 81 counts for
forging the names of VanDyke and
Merrill to fifteen $1,000 notes; three in
dictments against A. R. Stokes for pro-
curing abortiOns; Oderkirk and Smith
for stealing cattle from the Doles
Gouchee, Bean and Eastman, the buff
falo robe thieves Bishop and O'Claire,
for burglarizing the Barnet depot; Mike
Gerry for burning the Works barn in
this town; Oscar Bigelow of Peacham,
for indecent assault upon a girl Carlos
Drown, the Burke mute, for burglary
and four persons indicted for selling
liquor. The prosecuting officer is ready
to try all these cases the present term,
though some may go over to another
term.

Wells River.

The severe frost of Friday morning,
destroyed quite quantity of garden
vegetables, which happened to be I'M
covered, and perceptible change is
noticed in the foliage on the surround
ing hills.
John Bailey and Alfred Jones brought
home about 200 pounds of trout from
their little excursion up the Magalloway
river, and lakes in that vicinity. John
Danforth as usual furnished boats and
directed the party during their stay in
the woods, which of course, warrants a
capital time.
Joe Durant and family are in town
again, and will probably occupy the
house at the head of Water street.
Sherwin & Peach are about dissolv-
ing their business partnership, and it is
not decided which of the two will re-
sumo, although it is talked that Peach
is the man.
A substantial stone abutment is being
put in on the east side of the Wells
river to support the iron bridge so much
talked of, near the tin shop, and the
stone are on the ground for similar
one opposite.
After the old bridge was removed,
some of the timbers were left attached
to one side, making a capital raft for
the boys to fish from. A little son of
VIM. Johnson's, about five, not wishing
to lose so good an opportunity, got out
on the timber and was "about to get a
bite,n when he lost his balance and fell
into the river and was floating down
stream when Gilbert Stanley jumped
into the water and rescued him. Good
boy, Gilbert!
The small boys have been highly en-
tertained sometime past by the passage
through this village, of performing bears
and organ grinders.

The Court.

The Court.
The case which has occupied the
court since last Saturday, is briefly
stated in the court report elsewhere.
The case turns wholly upon the en-
dOrsement of the name "Chas. III.
Green" upon bank draft for $541 10
negotiated at the Merchants National
Bank in this place by Enos D. Hopkins.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Hop
kins was tried one year ago for forging
this signature, and convicted that the
case went to the supreme court on ex-
ceptiOns, that the exceptions were al
lowed and the case sent back to lower
court for another trial. Taking the
ground that the signature was forged,
as the lower court once decided, the in
surance company now sues the bank to
recover the amount of the draft which
the bank cashed. 1t is virtually trying
the Hopkins case over again, the same
points being at issue and the same wit
nesses mainly being used; and which
ever way it is decided, there will be a
good share of the community who will
not be convinced. so conflicting is the
testimony and so strong preconceived
notions and prejudices.

II. II. Wheeler's milk wagon run
over an eight-years' old boy of Fl. v.
Lane, on Spring street, Thursday eve

him down, and passed over him, with
two persons and load of milk in the
wagon. Although the boy was badly
bruised and delirious through the night,
no bones were broken, and he seems to
be coming out all right. The boy ran
in front of the team, which was being
driven at a rapid gait by Mr.. Wheeler's
son.
