MT Ryan being more of a favorite with the young ladies, carried off the prize, and the artistic manner in which he carries that cane is envious to many and would make first-class alderman take back seat.

 The barns on the Edward Cassidy place, with all their contents, consisting of several tons of hay and straw, two wagons, moving machine, flaming mill, two COWS, one fat hog and about 60 hens, were destroyed by fire at an early hour Sunday morning. The fire when dis covered had made equal progress in both barns, which proves that both were fired about the same time. Had it not been for favorable wind the house and ad- joining buildings would have been de- stroyed also. The Cassidys seem to be particularly unfortunate, as they seem to have lost a number of buildings by fire within few years. There was an insurance on the buildings.

Frank Casa. n MiddlebnrH husbl

Frank Cass, O Middlebury husband man, had so many apples on his trees that neither he nor all his men could gather them before frost-time. He has an immense 13-year-old OK whose pet amusement is found in shaking limbs of apple trees with his horns. Iu former years such tendency was disastrous and many sound thrashing the limb shaking bovine got from Farmer Cass. But this peculiar propensity of the OK was this year brought into excellent service. Into the orchard the animal was turned and went to work with will Reaching high with his horns, he twisted them around each particular low hanging bough on each particular tree and with vigorous shake, such as only strong OK could give, he brought down showers of ripe apples which will ing hands below rapidly picked up and put away. The entire circuit of the or chard was made, and then the knowing animal looked about for other fields to conquer. Farmer Cass says the big ap- pie crop isn't such bad thing after all.

 A very unpleasant affair occurred here Saturday, when sheriff Richmond from Canaan came here to arrest four boys for breach of the peace. From evidence gathered at and before the trial, it ap- pears that some boys from this place their names we. suppress on account of their parents-went to East Canaan, and there by firing of guns and boisterous actions, greatly disturbed the residents in that vicinity. They all plead not guilty to the charges, but the court soon proved 1t far otherwise. Justice Rob- berts, taking into account the fact that the paying of fines would come upon the mothers, after some excellent advice, which it would do well for the boys to heed, imposed the meager fine of $3 and costs each, which amounted to $9 each, or $36 in all. The boys were under the influence of "about three glasses of cider, when they violated the statutes, and the person who sold them the in- toxicant will be likely to be prosecuted, if threats are carried into execution.
