Mrs. PartingtOn and Ike.

his head on the ground in a vain at
tempt to throw his heels into the air.
There was solicitude in her tone, and a
corn-broom in her hand, as she looked
at him. "You must not act so gym
nastically, my DEAR continued she.
"you will force all the brains you've
got into your head if you do! You
can't do like the circus-riders, because
Providence has made them o. purpose
for what they do, out of Ingee-rubber;
an it don't hurt 'em at all. They ain't {
got bones like other people, and can
turn heels over head with persect i'm
purity. Don't do it, screamed sh q, as
the boy stood on one leg on the wood
horse and made feint as if to throw a

neck by and by, with your nonsense,
and you'll regret it as long as you live. =
Ike desisted as the dame smiled and
held a circular piece of copper before
his gaze; such potency had that smile
over him, backed by the copper. Jos

X CHRISTMAS WISH.


I'd like a stocking hiade for giant,
And q meeing-honse full of toys,
Then I'd go out in happy hunt
For poor little girls aud boys;
Tn the street, and down the street,
And across and over the town,
I'd search and tin1 them every one
BeIore the sun went down.
One would want new 1acR-knife
Sharp enuughto cut;
One W Iuld long for doll with hair,
And eyes tn / open and shut;
One would ask for a chinl set
With dishes all to her mind;
One would wish Noah'e ark
With beasts of every kind.
Some would like dolls eook-stove
Aud little toy wash-tub;
some WOO i prefer little drum
For noisy rub-a-dub-dub.
Some would wish for Il story book,
And some for u new set of blocks;
Some would be wild with happiness
Over new tool-boX.
And some would rather have little shoes
And other thin9s warm to wear;
For many children are very poor,
And the winter is hard TO bear.
I'd buy soft tannels 70 Little frOcks,
And thous md stockings or so,
And the jollest little coats and cloaks
To keep out the frost and snow.
I'd load a wagon with canmels,
And candy of every kind,
And buy nll the almond and pecan nuts -,
And tatfy that could find,
And barrels and barre of oranges
I'd scatter right in the way,
SO the chiltiren would find them the Ycr
ftrst thing
Whom they woke on Christmas Day.

A Stolen Team Recovered.
Perseyerance of tho Owner.


 Conductor Brompton returned from Sey- mour laso evening with a horse, phaeton and harness that was stolen from him from Ham" ilton Park on July 4th. He found the team in possession of John Condon, milkman. He received information from the chief of police to inquire at livery stable in the town, and became possessed also of other in" formation which led him to seek Condon's his memory, and by inquiring he caught the name again. and after long and perssvering drive found the right place and caught sight of his mare in the stable. When he had identified his team Condon, who had two companions with him, refused to de- liver it up unless he was paid $1O. This MT. Brompton refused to pay and told the man Condon to call at his place in this city and he would settle with them. They attempted tohold the mare, but Mir. Brompton demanded his property and took it, while the parties who had it in pos session were looking for a sheriff. It is evi- dent that railroad conductor is hard par ty to steal horse from, and Conductor Brompton is to be congratulated on his ener' getic work The horse showed hard usage and the harness and carriage were badly bro. ken. Condon claims honest possession ot the property, in that he found the horse ! jammed into a fence by the roadside at l o'clock in the morning.

Board of Selectmen.

At the regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen last evening, Mir. Andrew presid- ing, a communication was received from the Board of Public Works relative to the paint ing of Lewis and West bridges It was re- ferred to the Committee on Roads and Bridges.
 Sylvanus Butler reported in the matter of widening and strengthening North Quinnipiac street He said if the street was widened to 494 feet it would be necessary to cut off B feet from the front of the Rowe & Higgins building, striking the stoop of the Porter house and lessening the width of several front yards and narrowing the abutments of the Shore Line railroad If widened 45 feet it would only cut off one veranda and save row of fine elm trees.
 President Andrew thought if the order was carried out number of injunctions might be laid against the proposed improvement. He thought the residents should have Q hearing before the order passed.
 Bills were approved as follows: Outside poor, $773 O4; roads and bridges, $613.5 51 :; farm, $12O; construction, $39. 9.75; salaries, $132.85; general account, $i ,O66 22; inter- est, $s13.36; insane poor, S116.2O; asses sors, $69O.79.

Successful salmon Ftehins.

Three fine salmon, weighing over twenty pounds each, were received by gentlemen in town this morning. They were taken by Mir. J. Hart Welch, who returned Wednesday from fishing trip in Canada. Part of his time was spent with MT. Lyman Jewell, who is one of the owners of a fishery far up the Restigeuche. The party here took a number of fine fish, the largest, which weighed twenty seven pounds, being taken by Mir. Jewell. The three fish received to-day were taken by MT. Welch during his return down the river to his own fishing place at Matape dia. It is impossible to send fish from the upper Restigouche on account of the time occupied in transportation and the lack of ice.-H02tfor6 P0st
