would be in such condition that it would be
difficult to recognize one from the other. The

Judge Sprague, of the Municipal Court of
Dexter, has ordered to be returned to DR..
Springall, six cases of sealed liquor which
was seized from him by special constable
Flynt some time ago.
Mr.. Ira D. Fogg of Garland, went to his
! stable Wednesday night to do his chores, and
climbed upon the scaffold to throw down
some hay to feed his cows, and somehow fell
to the floor, and was found soon after in
helpless condition and now lies in an uncon-
scous state, and fears are entertained that he
will not rally although no bones were broken.
An Italian ped1ler while vending his wares
in Bangor on Friday found a pocket book
containing Sl25. He advertised for the
owner and the money was promptly returned.
Such cases as this are rare.

must not forget to thank Mr.. Gorlitz for in
Producing them to a Richmond audience, and
thereby affording all lovers of music a treat
which they will long remember.
