medita,ed piece of mischief committed in
the dining room of David Swett's boarding
house. Three young men who have been
employed for a short time at the sardne
works, were discharged as boarders on ac-
count of irregularity of conduct, and it APP
pears that more under sheer deviltry than
any liquor they had imbibed, they were de-
termined to leave record behind them
which will debar them from coming here
again. They broke up crockery ware, glass
ware, the stove, lamps, and finally the out.
door pump, until they nearly Quilted the
place. Mr.. SWEET tried next morning to col
lect small sum to reimburse him for his
loss, before they went on the boat, and moi
until the boat was ready to cast off would
they pay the petty sum of seven dollars
The sheriff had been telephoned for, and he
and his deputy. after very hard driving, go1
here soon after the boat left. Our people
wish it to be understood that this is moi
characteristic of the men employed here, fol
