The Goose Question.

Some time since Thos. WEIGH sued VIM.
Drenter for the value of a goose which
Drenter had shot. Drenter is in the en-
ploy of John TruxelI, having charge OF
Truxelrs pasture and slaughter house on
the bluff. WEIGH lives near the pasture
and keeps a flock of geese which have been
grazing in the pasture all the season and
doing their utmost to destroy what they
could not eat Drenter reported the case tC
Truxell and received orders to keep the
geese out of the pasture or shoot them
He could not accomplish the former and
resorted to the latter. The case had {
hearing and the court refused to reimburse
WEIGH sfor the loss of his goose, but thu
geese continued to run in the pasture anC
Drenter continued to shoot with variet
success until last Tuesday, when a numbe
of them were in close council on some i'm
portant question and he opened fire AM
laid six of them low. WEIGH entered com
paint yesterday before Magistrate Grove
against Drenter for shooting within tn
city limits and Drenter was arrested thi
morning, but trial was postponed until to
morrow, at 9 A. NJ.

PLEASANT ANECDOTES OF THE
LATE POPE,

A very pleasant story is told Of the
priest, Mastai Ferretti, in the days
when he did not imagine that he was
to become Pope. While he was tray
cling in South America, they were
obliged tostop at a miserable way-side
inn, far removed from any habitation.
In this comtortless abode lay an En-
glish officer on bed of sickness, many
thousand mites away from home and
friends. Tie sad condition of this
unhappy gentleman, a stranger and q
Protestant, became known to the Ital-
ian Priests. One among them re-
manned behind his companions to
watch by the sick man, whom he at
tended with the affection of a mother.
He did not leave his side until he had
the satisfaction Of seeing the friendless
hereto restored to health. This be-
neyolent priest was Mastai Ferretti.
As pope his kindheartedness was al
ways as apparent. One day he went
on foot TO say mass at the convent OF
the Visitandines Of st. Francis de sales.
On leaving the church a little child
went up to him and said cart thou
the pope:" eyes, my little friend, !
am, replied his holiness. 81 have nc
father" said the little fellow piteously
''Then | will be father to you" was
the answer--a promise which was full.
| ly redeemed, for the child was careful
ly educated and provided for in the
pope's name and at his sole charge.
Another beautiful anecdote of the
late Pope, told by an English clergy
man, reveals the truly sweet and Cath
Ole heart of him. Two English wo
men, sisters, had an audience of tn,
pope, but as they were Withdrawing
one, convert to the Roman church
fingered; the pope, observing this re
called her, and asked her as she kneel
ed what she would ask. "The prayer
of your Holiness" she said, 'sthat m,
sister may be converted from Protes
tantism, and that we may not be sep
arated by death" The pope, placin
his hand upon her clasped hands, re
piled, Daughter, those who love Go
will not be separated in the mex
E world" Even Professionals can believ
that Plus TX was infallible in that Ut
terance.

A REPORTERS ;, THINGS. "

! Carrigan, Of the Globe, ventured out
upon the road again last Monday,
having apparently recovered from the
shock which Conductor Eastman gave
him a week before. At that time Car
rigan was down the line somewhere
aud, desiring TO strike ont for day
or two, telegraphed to Conductor East
man at Littleton TO "Bring my things
down to Wells River depot" Amer
Eastman had puzzled his brains awhile
he began to inquire Of what a report
er's ''things" consisted. No one was
able to solve the problem and the ac-
commodating conductor, who never
neg ects a request, drew upon his fer
tile Imagination and improvised a va
/ lise and contents, which, according to
his Judgment would be appropriate to
the demand. On arriving at Wells
River Carrigan met him with the in
quiry, Ibid YOU bring my things"
20, yes" said the conductor, fright
there by the corner of the depot" at
the same time winking to a few friends
to follow him and witness the opening
of the valise. At the corner of the
building the reporter discovered at old
pouch with a bunch of rags and copy
of the Globe sticking out of the end,
and quickly comprehending the con-
ductor's Joke, he was about TO shy
around the corner for place of con-
cealment, but the conductor and his men
were too near. Seeing no way of es-
cape he stopped, resolved to face the
embarrassment with a smile. Taking
up the pouch he began to unpack.
Three quarters of a last years shirt
was the first article to come out. The
crowd hooted, and the reporter made
an effort to lift his countenance into a
smile, but there was apparently a
heavy weight attached to each corner
of his mouth. Next followed the rem
nants Of silk hat manufactured, to
all appearance, about the time of the
Irish rebellion. Then came out a copy
Of the Globe, also copy Of the Union
containing an account of the reporters
solo at the time Of the st. Johnsbury
convention. Then came a Shillalah
about Is inches long used in social
gatherings and whirled upon the fin
gers while executing ballads. Next
came a bottle marked Rye" then a
fine tooth comb, a small box of an
guintum, dc. The outfit seemed to
be complete, and the reporter express
ed his approval Of the conductors
Judgment, as soon as he had emptied
the contents, by singing the pouch at
the conductors head. The joke was
hugely enjoyed but was never proper
" set up in the Globe. Carrigan is
around again now, but Eastman will
never get another telegram from him
and will never have another opportu-
nifty 70 examine his "things."

We called attention some time ago
to the apparent epidemic of school
troubles that were developed in the dis
trict and village schools of the state
during the winter term. 1t seems
that the trouble is not confined to
country schools but even the large
universities are having trouble. The
Springfield Republican asks in recent
issue:
Is there going to be an epidemic of
hazing among our colleges? The
Princeton outrage and the milder cases
at Brown university are now succeed
ed by q very serious affair in Dart
mouth college. Some sophomores be-
gan the trouble early Monday evening
by going for" certain freshmen, and
later in the night the freshmen retalia-
ted by breaking into sophomore room
and numerically beating with bottles
and disfguring not only the sophomore
but his chum and brother in the senior
class. Two of the assailants were
arrested yesterday for assault with in
tent to kill, and search is being made
for others.

day do your cows average?"
"Seyen quarts, sir"

The Republican victory in \. H. Is
one of the most decided endorsements
that the policy of Hayes has yet re-
ceived from the people. Unless the
best elements Of the Republican party
shall unite on an administration Of
true reform the party will meet with
defeat at the next presidential cleo
ton. We hope for the deve.opement
of some principles or the leadership OF
some man, with those peculiar charac-
teristics for leadership which arouse
enthusiasm, which will save the nation
from the rule of either of the two great
political parties as hey nor efiSt
We are not of jbe Julian wing of dis
affected Republicans and consider his
article in the North american Lteciec,
as begotten of personal spite. 1t may
have much truth about it, but it also
has venom which lessons the force
of what truth there may be in his
charges. To be honest we must say
that we are not in very great sympa-
thy with either political party as they
now are. They both seem to us to
be bolstered far too much on the is
sues of the past. We are Hayesite
in a measure, but cannot swallow the
Presidents policy quite whole.

all our hearts glad. Yesterday was

the commission appointed by the SUI
preme court, consisting of J. L. Ed

the Maine Central. Chas. y. Neanans
of the Few Haven and North lamp
ton. to establish rates for p. d o..
freight and passengers between Swan
ton and Rouses Point. over the Vt.
and Canada road, now run by the
Central Company. This will give close
connection with the ogdensburg aud
Champlain, and thereby with the far
and wide West. The Ogdensburg
folks have arranged with several lines
of lake steamers, and it looks as
though our Poor Old road was to be-
come part of a grand trunk line from
the West to all Northern New England
and the two important sea ports, Port
land and Boston. The winter has been
a very favorable one for our road, and
the chances for much damage from
spring freshets seems in its favor.
1t seems as though Providence was
"tempering the winds" in this crisis
period, and if it weathers this point,
and makes its anticipated connections,
it will enter upon the down grade of
success.

Mr.. Moody in his closing discourse at
Springfield, when he advised that the
converts eschcw, Freemasonry, Odd
Fellowship, theaters, card-playing,
horse-racing, woodworking and bust

unbelievers. He was particularly
strenuous on this last point, hoping the
time will come when ministers will
preach against such matches and re-
fuse to perform the marriage ceremo-
MES, as Mr.. Spurgeon already does.
He also queried whether the dcacons
and others in the Connecticut valley

OF God. The New York C0mmercidJ
