ference exercises every evening this week

Mr.. ]. II. wooley desires to return thanks
to the many friends who so kindly assisted
in saving goods and protecting his building.
A lengthy communication from the West
is not suited to our uses, though 1t docs
credit to the heart of the writer. who has
imagination and good descriptive powers
but lacks experience in composition.
We learn, just before going to press, that
Mrs. ]. P. Nickels, the Bennett House, r. j.
Robinson, and P. Eidt Furnished the exhaust

day night which was very material help.
Our enterprising Piano and Organ dealer.
Mr.. VIM. Vischef, is doing a thrifty business.
He has had seventeen organs and seven
pianos come to Wellington Station during
the month Of January to supply his retail
trade, besides large shipments from Cleve-
land going directly to his agents.
Insusancelagents have been in town This
week looking up policy-holders who suffered
by the fire, and adjusting losses, or encour
aging losers to think that 1t was not very bad
after all. Cheerful fellows those Insurance
men are, with any amount OF ability to bear
with fortitude. the misfortunes of others.
It would be singular III, during the excite
ment of a fire, some absurd things were not
done. For example, some one gathered up
an armful OF fine vases and delicate China
ware, carried them out of reach Of the fire,
and threw them to the ground, smashing
every one; then returned and lugged off an
iron hitching post and deposited it tenderly
on q snow drift in the Park.
Mr.. Bergh Is now looking after woman's
rights, and having observed that wife-beat-
ing did not go out of practice with the aboli-
tioa of the whipping post, wishes tnat cor
rectivs of husbar dly frolicking to be REIN
stat d. But it is generally decided that men
cannot stand that, snd the wives of drunken
and merry gymnasts will have to put up
with such lite pastimos as their lords
choose 10 indulge, snd snucgle down with
out whim. or to flying croskery, hardware
and horsewhips.
Mr.. ]. W. Bramar, formerly Of this village,
writes from Auburn, Kansas, January oath,
enclosing subscription and adds the follow
ing: We have had very cold winter with
out any snow or rain. Wheit Is all right yet.
l suppose my oli friends would like to know
how / like it here, ard how I am getting
along. like Kansas as well as thought /
would before I came; am well pleased with
my farm and the climate. We are all well
and hope you are the same. DR.. s. Grout
and family are well.
c. W. Hemenway has lately placed q new
boiler In his saw mill, which in connection
with the old one gives him so or 90 horse
power. He is very much crowded with
work, having about four acres or 5000 logs,
waiting to lbe sawn into yaiious kinds OF
lumber. Some of the logs are quite large
one measuring five feet in diameter, and
nunter that are 46 inches in diam eter. IL feet
long, and will mak Q 1, 1928 feet of lumber. Mr..
Il. has fifteen men in his employ, and saws
from 6OOO to 10000 feet of lumher each day,
besices making about six cords of stoye
wood.
Mrs. c. A. Peck, in taking an invoice Of
her millinery goods, at the time Of her recent
sale to Mrs. Dolph, discovered iha: she had
sustained an extensive loss of goods, and at
once took measures to ascertain their where
abouts. Suspicion pointed to a young lady
Miss Della soles, having taken them. War
rants were issued Sunday and Monday for
searching the residences of her brotherin-
law, Mr. Kitchen, of Sullivan, where it had
been ascertained that her trunk had been
left, and of her father, John Soles, OF this
village. The result was more than had been
anticipated. In her trunk was found COL
lection Of about 800 worth OF laces, velvets,
etc., that were easily identified by Mrs.
Peck, some Of which still had her private
trade mark attached; and at her fathers resi-
dence another lot of the same kind was
found. The young lady was arrested Mon
day morning and arraigned before Esq.
Powers, where she pleaded guiltJ, and was
recognized to appear at the next term of
court. Everything had been done cautious
ly, so that no intimation came to the ac-
cused until she was arrested. She at first
denied everything, but yielded when the
evidence became so apparent. The affair is
one of misplaced confidence, Mrs. Peck hav-
ing taken the girl into her employ some
three years ago, and done every thing to
make something of her, refu.ing t. coun-
tenance s,cries that weie afoa. about her;
but with base los ratitude she has taken ad-
wants g ). of her at every opportunity, pilfer-
ing her goods-NorwalS Chronicle.
