Love. yeaIousv and Crime

The course of love flowed serenely with Miss Susan Twoney the 1S7year-old daughter of well-to-do farmer of Preston, until Miss Florence Miner, IS years old, daughter of rich farmer of North Stonington, crossed her path three or four weeks ago. Each had all the beaux she needed, but the contest narrowed down to covetous struggle for the heart of Hor- ace c. Corning. Early this week Miss Susan led in the race of love, but she was not satis- fled with her success. To give force to her triumph, it is said, she went to the front of her rivals house after dark and peeped in the windows, and threw sand and gravel at the panes behind which Miss Miner was en- tertaining her lovers Wednesday night Corning called on Miss Susan and found her just going to visit her sister and she asked Horace to go with her. tfI1l go and get my oyereoat, ]" said he. He returned in moment. A loud cry from in front of the house where Miss Miner was stopping called him quickly thitber. The cry had been uttered by Susan, who, with her hands before her eyes, screamed. 'They have blinded me ID Dr. Brewer found large white spots on her face and on the whites of her eyes. Creosote or carbolic acid had caused the spots, he said. Miss TwomeY made TO accusation against her assailant except that contained in her cry, ttThey have blinded mel' Policeman Coreoran arrested Miss Miner, and she said she had noticed a vial of ereosote oll the mantel, and thought 1t would be good thing to punish Susie with for peeping in the window and throwing gravel and sticks at the house. Justice Bates held Miss Miner in S1 ,000 bonds for trial before the next term of the Superior court. She was committed to the Norwich jail, but her father will rive hail

It was midnight and dressed leaving the house by the back door, I never saw Glynn before and was surprised waiting for ms. He told me that a team was ready in front of the house and that Wilmot was there to receive me- My satchel was put in the carriage and then jumped in.

 stWilmot told me when got to Springfield what train should take for Canada, and gave me fifteen dollars to pay my fare to ! Montreal. The ticket only cost $S 50, and had the remainder. He also gave me letters, one to hackman who would meet me at the depot in Montreal and take me to where the l letter directed The other letter was to bis brother, and read as follows:

After Mir. Platt retired Frank H. Hart appeared and asked that th' street be paved it's present width as soon a | possible. This work cannot be done unti spring and as there was no appropriation made for the widening this year that worl will havo to go over for another year.
