A Diamond St,ld

The other day q we'll known gentleman of
this city called at the post office and enquired if
there was package there directed to him as
he was expecting a valuable diamond stud
There was no package and the gentleman left
a day or two after, il opening the mail, a
clerk found a very small box, bearing one
cent stamp, and tied around with bit of
string, that had been badly crushed by the
weight of postal material the bag had con-
tanned. He found another box, intending to
put the contents of the crushed pasteboard in
to the perfect box. To his surprise he found
the crushed box contained wha ne supposed
was merely piece of glass. Mr.. Chenery hap
pened to look up and saw the supposed glass
flashing hundred prismatc hues, and he i'm
mediately remarked that must be that missing
diamond stud. Sure enough it proved to be
and was valued at several hundred dollars.
One can but admire the carelessness of the
sender who placed valuable diamond in such
a frail receptacle, put on one cent stamp, and
directed the box without wrapping it in paper.
and without registering it as a valuable pack

that nearly filed the lower floor and made a

the audience applauded the speaker to the

applause was that where he told how General

him with the strength of their Notifications

MAINE STATE GRANGE.
Close of the Annual Meeting.

The closing session of the State Grange took
place yesterday afternoon, Worthy Master d.
III. Thing in the chair The business of the
day consisted of the discussion of various
questions.
The subject OF sugar beet raising was taken
up. There seemed to be considerable dissatis-
faction among the farmers in reference to the
price which they receive for their beets from
the sugar company. They think that an I'M
fair proportion of the profits goes into the
pockets of the reiners. A committee was ac-
cordingly appointed, consisting of Col. Fred.
Robbie of Gorham, L. B. bennett of Portland
and Samuel Bell of Deering, to inve stigate
the whole subject, and to report as soon
as possible through the public press for the
benefit of those interested.
A resolution in favor of a uniform system of
school books throughout the State was unani-
mously adopted. 1t was thought expedient
that the books should be bought by the State
and furnished to towns at cost.
A resolution was passed unanimously en-
dorsing the non-partisan principles of the or
der in reference to politics. Political differ
ences should not be brought into the grange as
there all meet on common level.
The grange then adjourned sine die, much

Approval.

Mr.. EplroR:-I was pleased to see the
names of the men who have been thrust into
office by the Pillsbury plot in your paper of
yesterday in large, black letters. 1t was an
excellent idea and I hope every Republican
paper in the state will follow it. Let their
names continue together with their business
The county officers should be served the same
way. We want every Republican in the state
notified so that such accomplices with thieves
shall be Stunned as lepers. Let us have the
names of the plotters with their business
Such men are dangerous and should be shun-
ned REPUBLICAN.
