KENNEBEc COUNTY.

The Waterville Mail says that Messrs. Henry
HI. Percival of Waterville and John Haynes
of Skowhegan who have been in the postal
service on the Maine Central for a number OF
years have been removed.
The town of Vassalboro is in serious finan-
taxes Several suits were brought against
former collector, Geo. NOVEL;. At the late
town meeting the attorneys, Heath & Wilson,
Augusta, report that they found $4,000 uncol
lected, from 1872 to rs inclusive, NEARLY all
of which would fall upon the bond of TO-"
But in preparing the cases for trial they found
that the collectors warrants for 1872, '73 and
"a were worthless, though the form was one
largely used in the state at that time. Several
towns lost taxes by using them. Judgment on
all these warrants has been given against the
town of Vassalboro. The warrant Of 1875 was
perfectly good but it was found by the assess
ment books that the real estate had not been
legally described, and the court decided that
such omission relieved the sureties. So all that
remains of the $1,000 in suit is about $500 for
uncollected poll and personal taxes for 1875, to
be decided at the May term of the law court,
and for which the attorneys say "the chances
are about evenly divided"

her clothing caught fire from the stove, or her
pipe, to which she was much addicted. She
had reached the advanced age of "a, and was
one of the few women in this county who
drew a pension, as widow of soldier who
served in the war of 1912.
