At the StraffOrd town meeting on the
22d ult., Senator Morrill, presented to
the town the library building he had
erected the past summer. He also
donated to the town about five hundred
volumes, many of them books of rare
value. The edifice is most thoroughly
built, complete in every respect. Its
cost is about $1,000. The presentation
was accompanied with an interesting
and instructive address, which was ap-
preciated by the hearers. At its close
ine Slli wis heartily dCCtpttu anu an
enthusiastic vote of thanks given the
senator. The library promises to be IL
success, and more than 800 was
pledged at the meeting towards fund

books donated by Mr.. Morrill, will be
added the Harris free library, COM

The Bottom Of Winnipiseogee.

Capt. Eugene Sullivan, a diver, in
his recent attempts to find the body of
E. l.. Dunklee, drowned in Lake Win
nipiseOgee in New Hampshire, gives an
interesting account of what he saw {:
What is known as Eagle island, he
says, is really the top of hill, which
rises some one hundred feet from the
bottom of the lake, with the brow of
the hill protruding from the water.
The hill is very steep, and is covered
with cliffs and lodges, many of which
are from thirty to forty feet high. AT
some distance from Eagle island is a
vast plain thickly covered with eel
grass and literally alive with cells of
all sizes. Captain Sullivan also en-
cOuntered large shoals of horn pouts
near this plain, and, in fact, reports
fish of all kinds to be very numerous
and in some cases very large. The
"tinny denizens of the deep" seem to
take kindly to the human intruder on
their domains, and swarmed around
him in large numbers, nIbbling at his
armor and carefully inspecting every
portion of "the rare curiosity from up
above" The diver also discovered a
spring of very cold water bubbling up
from the bottom of the lake, and sur
rounded with quicksands, into which he
walked and commenced sinking, but
was promptly pulled out by his men
above when the proper signal was
given.

The Authorship of "Bread
winners

The novel of Cleveland (Ohio) life
now running in the Century under the
name of "The Bread Winners has at
tracted much attention in the literary
world and intense curiosity has been
excited as to who is its author. The
New York Tribune intimated that it
was written by the late Leonard Case.
Others claimed that Miss Constance
WoolsOn was the writer, and some laid
the claim of its authorship at the door
of Colonel John Hay. 1t is now stated
upon the best authority that the au-
thor of the story is Frederick G.
Mather, a son of S. II. Mather, cashier
of the Cleveland Savings bank. Mr..
Mather formerly lived in Cleveland,
but of late years has resided in Albany,
where he is newspaper correspondent.
Previous to going to Albany he filled
for two or three years the position of
assistant editor of the BinghamptOn
Republican. "The Bread Winners" is
not popular in Cleveland, owing to the
fact that it was written from an aristO-
cratic standpoint. The wealthy char
acters in the story are lauded to the
skies, while those characters represent
ing the poorer class are made vulgar
and coarse.

Immediately established herself as a
Gordon around her flock and awaited
the onslaught. The rodent, somewhat
checked by the bold front presented by
the garden destroyer" crouched for a
moment and then made a dart for one
of the chicks. In an instant the old
hen opened her cackle battery and
commenced battle. She flew at her
enemy, and striking it with her bill,
grabbed it by the back and threw it
in the air. The rodent came down
with a thump upon the walk, but be-
fore it could regain its feet the hen
repeated the performance, and kept it
up until the rat was only able to crawl
away a few feet and die in disgrace.

How Gen. Butler Served the
Poor Man.

Some years ago Benjamin Franklin
Butler, attorney -at-law, says the Gin
ton (Mass.) Times, was employed by a
poor widow to conduct suit against
the Lancaster Mills corporation, for
damages claimed because her husband
had died from injuries received on
Green street, a way belonging to the
corporation. Green street is not a
town way, but at the time of the acct
dent there was no sign to that effect
posted as the law requires. After
some time the corporation settled with
the widow by paying her 81 900. b. F..
Butler sent her bill for professional
services amounting to just ; 900, and
calmly pOcketed the whole sum paid.
And yet he is called the poor mans
friend, etc.
