1t will be remembered that George and
Edward Roundy of Vassalboro were arrested
in the city for drunkenness. They, together
with Henry Brann, had driven down to the
city in team belonging to their uncle and

S22, much less than it was worth. Yesterday
1t turned out that the team was not theirs
They had been given permission to use it by
the uncle, telling him that they only wished
to drive about two miles, and would immed-

The large amount of poor ice in many OF
the fields which are being worked along the
river necessitated the adoption of some meth
oil to separate it from that which was reck-
oned as first quality. To do this two men
equipped with paint pots stand one on each
side. half way up the elevator. As the cakes
of ice come mp they carefully scrutlnize
them, and if there is any imperfection they
easily discover it. Each Objectionable cake is
given daub with the brush. which is seen
BY man who is stationed farther up the in
cline. He moves q lever and the bad cake
instead of proceeding forward into the house,

In the meeting at Norridgewock, February
4th, the vote to exempt from taxation for ten
years any increase in the valuation of the
Dobin Granite Co.'S property, was unani-
nous. The prospects now are favorable for
forming stock company with a capital of
100000. Western capitalists will be large
ly interested. Col /. s. Bangs, of Water
vile, is working up the matter. If the un-
dertaking works as now planned the company
will build at the quarry large stone sheds and
boarding houses. They intend to employ
from 80 to 100 men at the start and increase
according to the demands of the business. 1t
will be great help to the town if the under
taking proves success.

They were winding up with one gorgeous
lark. Their idea of fun was to prance
through the train with loaded revolvers, fir
ing out the windows. A train boy passed
through the cars with basket Of peanuts for
sale The cowboys suddenly took it into
their heads to sell out the peanut tiend's stock
for him. They drew in their pistols from
firing out the window, and brought them
to bear ON the passengers instead
They pointed the cold, persuasive bar
rel sucCessively at every man i'll
the train and ordered him to buy or be
shot There was one tall thin, dyspeptic
gentleman in black, evidently a minister, who
was plainly outraged with this treatment
He raised his hands and lifted his eyes to-
wards heaven, protesting, but it was no use.
He was ordered to shell out and stop his row.
He did it. So they went through the train
till every peanut was sold. You will see
from this what the cowboys idea of a Joke is,
In a civilized region he is an uncomfortable
creature TO have around. But out on his
own plains he is Il picturesque looking object
enough. He rides the wiry bucking, tough,
scrubby, untamed little Indian mustang
pony, as if he and it made a ccntaur Fixed
in coil to his saddle is the laSso or lariut
with which he catches the wild cattle. Tie
mustang, the cowboy and the Texas steer are
all nearly equally wild. The cowboy wears
his hair long and n sluuch hat upon his head.
What he wears his hair long for nobody knows
A high Mexican saddle is girded around
the shaggy pony, and the cowboys blanket
is strapped on behind. There is one thing
about which 1 cannot make up my mind
That is, whether the cowboy is an imitation
of the ideal figuring in the literature of Joa
quin Miller and Bret Hartc, or whether there
ever was real, rip-roaring, wild man of the
plains whom they described. TO me tn,
cowboy seems rather trying to live up to hi
