A man from Guildhall by the name
of LeClair, with five or six bottles Of
liquor in his pockets, came into the
village last Saturday, and persuaded
John Wood, one legged man, and a
town charge, to go out to Il French
resort on Pond Hill. Wood was
brought home by Frenchman, minus
his violin, cane, etc. Soon after going
to bed he was taken violently ill with
every symptom of arsenical poisoning
1t was thought for several hours thai
he o0uld mot live--Dr- Colby was cal
led, and after vigorous treatment he
was somewhat relieved, but at this
writing is still very sick, and we can
not tell what the result may be. Mon.
day night LeClair and one of the
Sevigne's came into the village from
Lancaster, where they had been after
more 'pizen." Sheriff Dodge arrested
the former and brought him before
Justice VIM. Chandler, who fined him
$40 and costs for furnishing Wood
with liquor, but Sevigne who had two
big bottles of ''fire. water" sticking out
of his pockets and was considerably
under the influence of the stuff right
in the court room, and who also was
the man who brought Wood, home
was not arrested. LeClair got money
of Sevigne and paid his fine, and they
went off with their liquor to have an
other good drunk. We hear of good
deal of drunkenness in town this spring
and if every one who is found drunk
was arrested and fined, instead of now
and then arresting one, the law would
prove more etfectual, and it woulC
certainly look good deal better than
to let our own citizens go free while
Others are arrested
