While the train was stopping for water one
morning, Gov Robbie, who is noted Granger,
called at a house near the track to inquire of
a lady about the soil and stock in this vicin-
ity, when the lady led out specimen of her
stock, which was young sucking deer which
was brought up on bottle, and lively crow
ing baby-boy, who, she said had been weaned.
The Governor was so pleased with the stock
that he presented the little boy with SILVER
niece. After which the Governor led the
deer out in front of the train, and in neat
speech introduced the deer and the boy and
the mother of the boy TO the party. Three
cheers were given for Gov. ROBBIE and the
mother. At the next station several OF the
party enjoyed donkey rides after breakfast
Col. Carver Of Rockland, who weighs nearly
three hundred pounds. was unanimously de-
cided to be the best rider.

in regard to the Knckerbocker's paymaster
who lately Disappeared 1t is known that
Mr.. Written has been ''featherin' his nest
at the expense OF the Knickerbocker Ice Co
The plan OF operations was to make out pay
roll for $50 to 800 more thao men actually
worked, draw the money and appropriate the
surplus. This was a game that must have
an end and knowing this Mr.. w. stepped out
Friday of last week. He was seen to pur-
chase a ticket for Portland. The amount
owe rdrawn is not yet known to a certainty,
but must be from 81 500 to $1,000. His
house is attached for $1,000. 1t has been
matter of wonder how a man on a small sal
airy could afford so fine house, stable and
grounds. 1t is less than two years since he
took young woman in partnership and
commenced housekeeping under the most fav
orable circumstances. Some rumors hint at
domestic trouble but the probability is that
finance is the sole cause. The property was
well insured, $1,000 in one company and
81 800 in another.
