have not provided a lookup. The necessity OF
such place OF security has long been acknowl-
edged and the wonder is that 1t has not been
furnished.
The friends and fellow workmen of N. Blais
met at his house Wednesday evening of last

pleasant surprise and presenting him with a
hne silver watch Mr.. Blais has b,en in the
employ of C C. Warren for over fifteen years,
and during all that time has never failed to
blow the whistle on time in the morning nor
has he had day off for pleasure. Mr.. Bas is

move tn some other locality. He will soon go
with his family to some point in Rhode Island.

we supposed that the people OF this vicinity
had weekly and experimental knowledge. His
own transactions, he claims, are not exceeded
by those of any other buyer, statement which
same free advertisement to G. X. Town and
James A. Burleigh il, in the stat ment that
Mr.. Hopkins made Monday the butter day and
has taken an active part in building up the
butter business, they see any impugnment OF
their own Individual standing in the produce
exchange"

nolds had been out Monday evening to neigh
boris for some social object; that Samuel hat
tried to have her come home, and that finally
very late in the evening, he repeated his ap
peals and, being refused, left with some YER
natural but very ungraciOus remarks. Tn
Maynard spouse returned either very late a
night or very early in the morning. TheI
WAS scene and feminine cries of murder
were heard. Jack and one or two others wer
to the rescue, and finding the door fastene
burst 1t In. In the scuffi, that ensued to SCI
arate Reynolds from his wife, Rey nolds wa
somewhat punished. Jacks statement of til
case seeming to be the true one, he wa
discharged.
