James Cassidy, who has been in
sane for some months, but who was
supposed to be considerable better,
jumped from a second story window
on Thursday last, striking on the
frozen ground 80 feet below, and,
strange to tell suffered, so far as
can be seen, no serious injury. He
was cut about the head and bruised,
but no bones were broken and it is
thought no internal injury exists. He
has really seemed more sane since
the fall.
Rather stormy times at town meet
ing. The contest over town clerk
resulted in the election of William
Graves, on second ballot An entire
new board of selectmen was chosen,
some of the old refusing to serve.
Mr.. Mathews of the old board of
listers was elected, with two new
men. The reports of the selectmen
and auditors showed an economical
administration during the past year;
the expenses, however, were consid-
erably increased by the cost of law
suits. A tax of 40 cents on dollar
was voted for the coming year.
David Jacobs had about $500
worth of clothing stolen from his
peddler's cart one night last week.
The thieves broke into the barn, open
ed the cart and made off with the
goods. A search warrant was issued
and certain quarters visited, where
goods thought to be part of the
stolen lot were found, but sufficient
proof was not obtained to 'bind up"
the parties. 1t is pretty evident from
the character and amount of stealing
which has occurred in this vicinity Of
late, that there is gang of bold and
shrewd thieves either among us or
too close to be agreeable.
