Cashier Barron.
THE OFFICERS OF THE DEXTER SAVINGS BANK BRAND HIM AS DEFAuLTER

A letter from Dexter, Me-, says: On the evening of the 22d of February, 1878, the inhabitants of this place were startled by the discovery of John Wilson Barron looked in the vault of the Dexter Savings Bank, of which he was treas. urer, gagged and dying. It was conjec- tured that robbery had been attempted, and that the treasurer, rather than give up the treasures of the bank, had lost his life. For nearly twelve months the name of Barron was synonym of all thai is noble and self-sacrifcing, and even from across the water tributes to his memory have been received by the widow and her only child.
 Some months ago the tragedy was brought into strange and, very remark, able notoriety. In making thorough examination of the books of the bank, irregularities were found. An expert was employed, and dedication of sev- eral thousand dollars was found. The peculiar circumstances attending the death of Mr. Barron were revived. The mystery, as viewed in the new light assumed @ different aspect. 1t looked like very ingenious suicide. The case was given very great publicity, and for weeks it held public attention. MT. Barron had ever been known as an hon. est and scrupulous Christian, and g church had been built to his memory The great mass of the people believed that Barron was innocent.
 This very remarkable case is about to be brought before the public again. The bank officers gay that the bank lost by the defalcation of MT. Barron, and that the bank should recover fron the Barron estate the amount lost. While Mir. Barron left only small property, including his homo, he had been carry ing very heavy insurance policies, and the wife, from this source, received over $10, ,0OO. Mrs. Barron and four-year- old child have also received in gifts nearly $6,000. It is now understood that if the estate does not settle the banks claims, the bank cfdoers will be. gin suit against the estate in the Janu. ary term of the Supreme Judicial Court. The Hon. Josiah Crosby, of Dexter will appear for the bank. H"

A Difference In Ducks.

A good story is told of Rev. Myron W. Reed by the London Times. While out with a hunting party several years ago his comrades ln- sisted that he should cook the dinner, and left him In camp for that purpose, somewhat against his wish. A large hawk aighted in the top of Q tree hard by, and moment afterward the sports mans gun had brought him to tho ground. He WAS ancient and tough, and suited admirably the compulsory cooks purposes. He was putinto pot with couple of fine ducks. The dim ner was served and pronounced excel lent, with the single qualification that there seemed to bs a ''deuced big diff, ference in those ducks" But the inno- cent-looking cook held his peace aud made his owu selections, and ducks ar d hawk soon disappeared from tie table. ssDid yeu tell them about it ?" asked he who heard. the story. "Tell themi"' an- swered the reverened gentleman, with an emphatic shrug, "They'd have drowned me-"

The Daisy,

III rather by half be daisy

The SKY may be scorching or hay,
She wants neither shelter nor shield.

The violet keeps to the spring:
But spring, summer, autumn and winter
Your meek little daisy will bring.
ConyoivuIus, lovely, bat lszy,
Must have . 6ue rest where TO lean.
Now your stout little seh-coutained daisy
Stands upright fSom leaflets Of green.
With tn ngs that would scare any flower
Your daisy would scorn to be vexed;
You may cut her white head of thi. hour,
She'll come up in crimson the next.
oh who. then, would not be daisy. FH
