CABoT.--The last St. Johnsbury Cdiedonidn tells
the following anecdote Of Rob Johnson. There
are several people in this town who could relate
many similar ones OF him: 1.-THE late Rob John
son understood how to turn an honest p penny as
well as the next man. One day OF our annual
fair he put on his best clothes and stationed him
self at the north end OF the Hastings bridge the
Center road, and when the people who returned
agricultural horse trot,' undertook to trot their
horses over the bridge, johnson stepped out and
halted them, and inquiring II they did not see the
sign over the bridge Two dollars fine for driving
faster than walk, casually remarked that he
was chief OF police of st. Johnsbury, and they
would have to pay him two dollars or he should
arrest them. The lawbreakers came down
freely until johnson made mistake and halted
the wrong man, who took out his whip and laid II
over Johnsons head and shoulders until he cried
Tor mercy. After that policing the bridge lost all
attractions for johnson, and he soon made tracks
towards Railroad street Illuminating on the cold
selfishness OF this world" 1t appears that his
wife, although he frequently abused her and
threatened to take her life, stood by him with un-
falling devotion, and she ia sadly shocked by the
tragedy. As the Cdledonidn remarks, however, she
Is much better off without him.. =. centennial
basket picnic under the direction of the Methodist
and Congregational Sabbath-schools is to be held
August %, at ten o'clock A. NJ, on the Plains"
where the first clearing was made by Benjamin
Webster. 1t will then be one hundred years since
he began to clear the land and build cabin He
began permanent settlement the next March,
when he brought his family 1t is hoped the
people will turn out en- nldsSe and visit this his
toric spot. Persons who have looked up its his
tory will be present and will point out places of
interest," such as where the first house was built
where General Hazen's army encamped, etc
The exercises will consist OF speaking, singing

tors have engaged j, II. Knapp of Franklin, Mass
graduate of Amherst College, as principal of the

president of the college and others as well fitted
for his duties. School will commence the first
Wednesday in September. No teacher has yet
been engaged for the lower school. L. H. Stone
OF Boston and Charles f. Stone of Laconia, n. H.,
have been visiting friends in town the past week
Il has been thirty years since Mr.. L, ii. Stone has
been in town for any considerable time He notes
the great changes which have taken place. At
tending church last Sunday, he saw but eight
persons he knew in congregation Of one hum
dred and fifty. The hay crop has been secured
in good order There is, we think about one
eighth less in quantity than last year, but the

different sections Of the state In regard TO the op.
Grafton Of the law and strong sentiment in favor
OF compelling towns to keep their highways In
suitable repair will undoubtedly be felt 1t IL a
fact, at least in some localities, that towns have
taken such an advantage OF the statute that the
roads are hardly passable. The old law, with its
abundant opportunities for malicious and specula-

goes so far the other way that towns have become
careless, and very little attention is paid TO the
