No farmhouse should have II pool Of
stagnant water near it. for it is unsightly,
and besides, it is liable to cause sickness

ST. AIBASs-A Local SESsATIoN.-Ths
local sensation OF Monday, in St. Adams,
wa the arrest of +. Morton Smith, late
correspondent of the Boston Journal, for
obtaining money on false preteuces. Mr..
Smiths troubles, as described By the 81.
Adams idtsrtiser, began on Saturday even
ing, when, as he was waiting in the depot
to take train, he was confronted by Nj.
C. X. Mckay, Of Philadelphia, nephew Of
Mr.. Nat Mckay. the well-known naval
contractor, who had Just arrived from
Philadelphia on special errand with Mr..
Smith. So f. Morton did not take the train.
1t seems that Smith called at the residence
of Mr. Nat Mckay. IN Philadelphia, last
Tuesday The McKsys had formerly
befriendei Smith. and have claim in the
latt er's bankruptcy account Of $50, but as
the liabilities foot up nearly $4,000 and
the assets are little or nothing, they are
out IN that amount. Smith represented
him SELF to be an officer Of the Central YER
mont Railroad, and personal friend of
Governor Smith, and showed passes over
hall the railroads in the country lie said
he wanted to raise little money and that
his wife had deposit in the Vermont Ma
tional bank Of St. Adams, of IN IRE than five
duced a check signed by Lucy K. Smith,
his wife. for SEQ and a sight draft on his
wife and accepted by her for $500 and both
were promptly cashed by Mckay. Ia due
check and draft were worthless. and
he started for St. Albans. On sunday and
Monday by various persussions, one of
which was a threat to thrash Smith through
the streets. Mr. Mckay obtained from Smith
abou. $40 il cash, his gold watch and
chain, and mortgage on his personal
property, among other things a piano,
which was put in possession Of A. e. SAT
ford. Esq, Meksy's counsel The Hon. E.
A. Sowles Is said to have had a mortgage
on the watch and chain, but as it was not
recorded Mckay will retain possession.
Monday forenoon Smith was arrested for
having obtained 500 Oh worthless check
cashed by the Brandon National bank.
This claim was combined with the Mckay
claim on Smith, and the mortgage on the lat
ter'- effects was made to satisfy both together
with legal expenses. This adjustment having
been made, Mr.. Smith was released. Mr..
Bishop, cashier of the Vermont National
bank Of St Adams, says that over $500
Of worthless checks and drafts issued by
Smith have gone to protest at that bank in
the last few months, and the next creditor
who appears with q claim may not fare 50
well as did the persistent and energetic Mr.
Mckay. Mr.. Smith states that funds which
he expected. to meet the Philadelphia obi
cations. have failed to arrive, but that he
now expects they will be in the bank before
the close of the week
