Charles Cushman was indicted by
the county grand jury for liquor selling,
and subornation of perjury, and Dep
uty Sheriff Whitaker went to Boston
on Wednesday last to secure him on
the Governors requisition, but returned
without his prisoner. 1t is said that
Governor Long of Massachusetts, did
not recognize the charges as crimes
that come within the purview of statute

crnor of q sister common wealth should

been full of rum talk, charges and coun-
ter charges, subpenas to courts, ar
rests, trials, ETC., in connection with
the drinking and sale of liquor, cider
and beer. Some two months ago H.
w. Love, editor of the Revie,o, and
grand juror levitt P. Cain, began a
raid, which was followed up by prose-
cutions of the leading rumsellers to con-
viction, some of the fines amounting to
from $1,000 to 81 800. These heavy
fines and penalties attached have dried
up the streams of fre-water and all the
prominent dealers have shut up shop
and gone out of trade. The full power
and extent of the prohibitory law has
been put in successful operation. For
a time considerable excitement existed
and bitter feelings engendered, but all

president Arthur,s Romance.

washington Correspondence OF the Boston Al
ycrtiscr.J
When a young lawyer, unknown to fame,
Chester Arthur happened to attend tue
service at the old Church OF st. Johns,
In this city. There he heard for the
first time the rich soprano voice OF Ella
Herndon, rs the notes OF the "|cnite -"
rang through the shabby old church.
She was the daughter Of naval officer,
who won distinction by his services In
the Mexican war and commanded an eX-
ploring expedition up the Amazon. But
his browning deed OF yalor was upon the
il-stalrcd steamer Central America, that
foundered near Havana with several hun
dred passengers and more than million III
gold. BY his heroic efforts about hall OF
the passengers were saved, and, faithful TO
his trust, the gallant captain went down
with his ship, which he refused to desert.
The echo of the sweet voice still
fingered with Mr.. Arthur, and soon
after her great sorrow he sought
the acquaintance OF the fathcrless
girl, and she became his wife. Now, every
Sunday, oh foot and unattended, President
Arthur finds his way TO The dingy little
church, and sits in the pew where the
beautiful Lady Madison worshippcd sc
long ago. Perhaps amid the "Nenite " to-
day he hears "thc sound Of a voice that i
still the voice OF one whose portrait
hangs in his chamber. Amid the pressure
OF state duties, it is said, the President
never iorgets the daily tribute OF flowers
to the memory OF this lady, who, had she
lived. would have graced the White House

mentioned in connection with these offices,
among whom are Reys. A. W. Wilson,

says:
1.-THE farmers OF Huntcrdon and somer.
set counties, New jersey, use goats to pro.
tect their sheep from dogs. Two goats
can drive away dozen dogs, and two are
about all each farmer puts In with his sheep,
A. soon as dog enters the field at night,
the goats attack him, and their butting pro.
penalties are too much for the canine, who
soon finds himself rolling over and over.
A few repetitions Of this treatment causes
the dog to quit the field, limping and Yell
Ing. Formerly, when dog entered
sheep-1eh at night, the sheep would run
wildly around and cry piteously. Since the
goats have been used TO guard them, they
form In line behind the goats and seem 70
enjoy the fun"
50 that the farmer can have Doth aogs
and sheep. What relief to the average
