Taking Toll.

The late Rob. johnson understood
how to turn an honest (O penny as
well as the next man. One day of our
annual fair he put on his best clothes
and stationed himself at the north end
of the Hastings bridge, on the Centre
road, and when the people who re-
turned from the fair, stimulated by the
example of the agricultural horse
trot,' undertook to trOt their horses
over the bridge, Johnson stepped out
and halted them, and inquiring if they
did not see the sign over the bridge,
Two dollars fine for driving faster
than a walk casually remarked that
lac was the chief of police of St. Johns
bury, and they would have to pay him
two dollars or he should arrest them.
The law-breakers ''came down" freely
until johnson made a mistake and
halted the wrong man, who took out
his whip and laid it over JOhnson's
head and shoulders until he cried fol-
mercy. After that, policing the bridge
lost all attractions for johnson, and he
soon made tracks towards Railroad
street Eliminating on the cold selfish
ness of this world.

only kith and kin he has living-were
present when the body was prepared
for burial, and from his pockets were
taken some letters and papers which
the reporter had the privilege of perus-
ing, some of them cOuched in vulgar
and obscene language. Among them
was a letter written by woman re-
siding in a neighboring state. The
letter was dated August 3, 1882. The
writer stated that she was in trouble
and asked him to come and see her
and fix the matter up, and said and
limited other things which we do not
care to repeat. She furthermore said
that if he did not do it, she should
shoot herself with the pistol he had
given her. Among them was half
sheet of note paper, on which was
written, unsigned, what purpOrted to
be IA confession, in which he substan-
tiated the above facts as the woman
alleges. Mrs. j. is of the opinion that
he wrote it to acquaint her after the
deed was done with the cause of his
taking-Of There were numerous slips
on which were written endearing mes
sages from him to the woman, and 9th
er slips containing messages warning
him to look out for her husband as he
was suspicious of them. In one were
enclosed locks of her hair which she
sent him, one quite long and carefully
braided and tied. There were other
letters written by her to Mrs. j., in
which the sinister nature was apparent.
In one of them she told Mrs. j. that
the latter's husband was an inveterate
liar, that no dependence could be
placed upon his word, that he had lied
to she and her husband, who had be-
friended him, and she urged her to get
divorce from him. In this and in
another of the letters she especially
requested that the letters be sent in
her name instead of in her husbands
Mrs. j. told her story with much
feeling and tremblingly, and her tears
and sObs forced her to suspend at pc

it may-and the cause seems to be
very apparent-after the shock has

no loss in his death, for he was q

fy. In his pockets were found Sl.2!

Fatal Accident.--Herb Par
ker Rum Over and Killed.

Herbert II. Parker, travelling sales
man for Cross & Bradley, bakers, of
this place, was run over by the cars at
West Burke Saturday afternoon and
almost instantly killed. Mr.. Parker
had been in the north west portion of
the state and was returning home.
From his seat-mate and a letter receiv-
ed the day of his death by his employ
ers, it appears that he was feeling quite
ill. He took the Boston express train
mt Newport and when Conductor Bean
came through the car Parker asked him
to punch his mileage ticket to West
Burke. The conductor told him that
they should not stop at West Burke
that day. Parker replied that he was
feeling quite i'll and he must get off at
West Burke and go to his fathers
home but Bean punched the ticket to
LyndOnville, and Parker laid down in
his seat. On approaching West Burke
station, the train slowed, and Parker
jumped up remarking that the train
was going to stop, and taking his over
coat and satchel went to the front end
of the car. After passing the switch
the train increased its speed, and when
it passed the depot was going quite
rapidly. Parker threw off his overcoat
and bag, and then made "A jump for the
platform. 1t seems he held on to the
guard too long, as he was thrown OF
drawn back under the train and the
parlor cars which were behind ran over
his legs and lower part of his body

years old, the only son of Joseph Par

A brilliant display of this phenome-
non rewarded the star gazers on Friday
evening. From the centre of the
heavens the luminous rays shot out to
the north and extended almost to the
eastern and western horizon. Early in
the evening they were very brilliant,
then they began to dim and disappear.
Later another beautiful phase was pre-
scented. The sky in the north was
completely obscured by dark clouds,
the edges of which seemed to be firing
ed with prisms of variegated hues
which changed and shOne with remark
able brilliancy. The sight was Il rare
one, and those who were fortunate
enough to witness it will not soon for
ret it.

lowed, succeeded on Tuesday by occa-

The Churches.

In view of the Importance attaching
to the temperance movement through
out the country at the present time, it
was especially appropriate that Rev.
Henry w. Jones, at the North COngre-
gatiOnal church on Sunday morning,
should consider that subject, which he
did in highly interesting discourse,
taking very hopeful view of the ques-
ton. The statistics he gave were
startling while not thread bare, and he
dwelt particularly upon the ecOnOmi-
ed the precedent set by the late mis-
tress of the White House in banishing
wine from the receptions, and thought
that as Americans in visiting foreign
courts expected to conform to their
customs, so foreigners visiting the
presidential and other receptions
should be taught that they will be ex-
pected to conform to the American idea
of things.
On account of the heat the Sunday
school and evening services at the
North church were omitted and the
people united i'll an evening service at
the South church, where Rev. DIR. Bras
tow of Burlington preached a very
thoughtful sermon upon prayer. He
showed that faith alone is not assur-
ance that prayer will be answered
There are some kinds of prayer thai
in the nature of the universe and Cod,
laws cannot be answered regardless O
the amount of faith the petitioner may
possess. He instanced the prayer o.
Christ ut Gethsemane as an example o.
this kind of prayer, although he be
lieved that Christ knew that it cOul(
not be answered as it would completes
ly ruin his work and mans redemption
That it was an excellent sermon was
shown by the fact that the audienc,
gave it close attention for a Who'll,
hour with the thermometer rangin,
uncomfortable high.
