A TOwn.M Meeting Episode.

An incident of last MONDAYS town
meeting will he long remembered by
those who were present and is well
worthy OF being preserved in print. Ii
was a scene alike dramatic and affecting

for carrying on the town government.
and ultra-economists were working with

down tn their lowest notch. At last WAS
reached the article relating to n claim
against the town BY an old and re-
spected citizen for damage 10 his land
by reason of water washing sand from
n hill down upon ii. The committee
appointed nj a previous meeting to in
vestigate the claim reported than ten
dollars would cover the damage. and
that sum was just about 10 be ordered

one word had he heard of what had been
going on around him for hours. but now
some n had given him 10 understand
his claim was under discussion. Then
he wen on TO tell what he had done n
h~alf-century ago to build up the town.
and his eyes flashed with pride and his
lean form Strengthened rs he spoke:
how all the best years of his life
had been spent in WeStiield: how
he had served the town in various
capacities. and now that misfortune and
old age had come upon him. and h. had
but brief time NJ most to live. he simply
asked his fellow citizens To do him just
ice. He talked for n considerable time,
and with the simplicity Of sccond-child-
hood told his sorrows and his past deeds
over and over again. But the voters
listened patiently. and there were tears in
many eyes while he spoke. Hardly had
the final word dropped from the trem-
bling lips when came quickly motions,
from men who hal been eagerly wait

ator ruled that only by unanimous con-

called for on the 800 motion. and every
person in the hall rose 10 his feet, in
