Last Thursday man by the name
of Thomas Ellis was arrested by sheriff
Bonett on telegram from No. STRAIT
ford. which charged him with having
stolen some clothes. 1t seems that he
took a job of one Clark Stevens Of
Bloomfield for logging, and just as he
had got his roads cut and landings
made, and camps fixed for logging, he
began to be assaulted by one after
another of the men, and was SO treated
generally that he came to Island Pond
for advice under the impression that
there was some kind of conspiracy
against him, and here he was arrested,
as above stated and restrained Of his
liberty until Friday afternoon or even
ing. We know nothing of the facts
but it looks as though the arrest and
imprisonment of a man without a war
rant was an Indication OF a slight
irresula.ity somewhere. However the
officer seems to have acted in good
faith.

United States has not caused much
agitation this side Of the line, but it is

people against any projsct of the kind.

in union with the United. States.
The people OF this country look on very
complacently and quite indifferently
while this movement goes on. In some
respects it would be convenience to
us to lnclnde Canada within our ma
tional lines, but If she ever comes it
will be of her own accord and because
she seos it will be- to her advantage
rather than to ours. AS for her losing
her autonomy, in such an event, per-
haps Archbishop Lynch has heard OF
our national motto, "E Pluribus
Unun," and knows that we admit no
States to our Union which are not
competent to take care Of themselves.
We understand that the Island Pond
House is being closed, at least for the
present, and as our readers have seen
by our advertising columns the premi-
Sos are now offered for sale. The
house has become pretty thoroughly
engrated into the history OF this To-
cality. 1t stands beside its more pre-.
tentious neighbor with an ar of hospi-

moro than a quarter OF q century.
