could find q purchaser. But it some
times happened the purchaser himself
was badly sold. One gear, when the
vote in the county promised to be quite
close, and votes were in unusual demand
one of those who hoped to avail himself
Of his right of suffrage to turn an honest
penny, went to the party leaders OF one
side and offered to vote that ticket tor
barrel of -four; his offer was promptly
accepted and the -four furnished in adj
vance. He then went to the other SIDE
and offered his vote on that side for SIX
dollars in goods; this offer was also &C
copied and the goods handed over. When
election day came both parties were on
the lookout for him, but he did not put
in an appearance. They then sent teams
after him, which arrived at his house
about the same time and found him sick
in bed. with hot bricks at his feet, and
suffering intense pain. They were
obliged to go away without him, but as
soon as they were gone, he was able to
get up and go about his work.
On another occasion, the vote OF an
east part of the town resident was chal-
lepged, on the ground that he had re-
ceived aid from the town within three
months. It seemed that doctors BILL
for services in his family, had been pre-
sented to the Selectmen, though it had
not been paid. Thereupon' a leading
party man advanced the FIVE dollars
necessary to liquidate the debt, directing
him TO 90 to West Paris, settle with DIR.
Russell, get his receipt and then come
back and vote. He started of, but did
he carry out the programme arranged
for him. Not he; he knew trick
worth two Of that he took the money,
went home and staid there, and his
friend and benefactor watched for HIM IN
vain until the polls were closed.

The first death in town was that Of
child of Abram Walton. Mr.. Walton
settled on one of the lots in the east
part, which was run out by Smith. He
felled trees and burned them in the au-
tumn. The next spring, he built a log
hut and moved in with his family. He
junked and piled his piece in early sum.
mer. and set fire to it. While it was
burning, his little daughter, three years
old, wandered away from the house, and
