number of it. This led to the discovery
that the young merchants had sent a
box TO Wells River by the evening
train, no doubt expecting to take it
along with them on the next train. This
box has been recovered and is found to
contain about 500 worth of feelings !;
but what firm contributed the feelings
is not yet known. w. c. Quimby a
boarder at the st. .Johnsbury House,
lost good suit of clothes, ring and a
revolver, taken out of his room Sept.
II, and another man lost an overcoat.
Of course suspicion fails upon this cou-
pie who left town so promptly Oct. 1st.
The managing man of this concern
gave the name of CHI. WatsOn-said
he was from Watkins Glen, N. Y, and
that he had been in trade there several
years. He is about 5 feet, 6 inches tall,
weighs about l25 pounds, is dark COM
plexioned, dark hair and eyes, and
wears short whiskers. He did not, Ell
Their in conversation or business tran
sactions, convey the impressions usual
ly made by business man; and walk
ing leisurely about the town he seemed
more like one examining the place
closely than one intent on selling goods.

There are people in the world
whose chief desire seems to be to own,
and drive and whip some poor rack-a-
bone of horse. They have no mercy
whatever, and it is doubtful if they
possess any more feeling than the poor
brutes themselves. We have one man
among us of this stamp. The only
smart thing he carries about him is his
whip, which is nearly always in vigOr-
Gus operation. We saw him in front Of
this Office lately trying to break a thin
old colt, and truly he seemed young
and happy in riding upon an old sprisg-
board backward, sidewise, obliquely
and not at all-all the while swinging
the whip and talking "G'lang." We
have sometimes thought it would be
about as much mercy to this old mar
himself, as to his old horses, if he was
not allowed to use one any longer.

The old Hudson & Hall sash and
blind factory, occupied by j. w. Spiller
for job and repair shop, and owned
by Mrs. Cephas Hill, was burned last
Friday evening. The fire was discov-
cred about 1890, but it burned so
quickly that there was nothing saved
but one hand saw belonging to Mr..
Spiller. Mrs. Hill had $3.50 insurance
on the building and machinery, which
will just about cover what the property
would bring for cash now. Mr.. Spiller
loses all his tools and what lumber he
had on handsome 5000 in all no in
surance. A. j. Hull had several sleighs
in the building that were burned. 1t

The job of filling the low place
about the junction of Church and Main
streets has been vigorously prosecuted
by Mr.. Livingston, who has had charge,
and the work will be nearly completed

jobs where there is something to show
for the money expended.

Spencer & Pearl have been doing
quite an extensive business in the but
ter line the past few weeks. We saw
quite a lot in their market recently,
and they have sent a great amount
away. These gentlemen are careful
buyers, and keep well posted on the
ups and downs of the market. 1t is our
opinion that farmers better not be too
avaricious about prices, but if they re-
ceive fair offers, to take up with them,
rather than hold on through such tick
leish uncertainties.
