A Special PIeader.

The Haverhill Bulletin says that man
named Libby arraigned for drunkenness be-
fore Judge Carter in the police court of that
city Monday morning, addressed the Judge
and pleaded his case. He stated that he was
native of Maine and had just returned from
a fishing trip without cent in his pocket
but was ON his way to Maine, where he had
a job to work at haying, where he could earn
$50 or $50 this season. He had never been
in Haverhill before, and if the judge would
let him off he promised to leave the town at
once, nor would he stop to get even glass of
water. He concluded his appeal by remind
ing the judge that he used to live in that
little house down by the school house ON
Bracket street, Portland, where his honor
resided in the large double white house just
on the other side of the same school house.
He was sure the judge must have known his
mother. This last appeal won the SYM
pathy of the court, and Libby was let off on
probation.
