Fortunate SpecpIatfou

There are two men at Sebago Lake who were evidently born under O lucky star. These two men are David W. Stanley. of the firm of Stanley 6 Libby, coat manufaetur- CTS, and George E. Whitney, the obliging months these men have invested a dollar a month in the Louisiana State lottery, and of the six tickets four have drawn prizes, all small ones except the last.
 The two men put in dollar each last month and mutually agreed that should one draw prize he would divide with the other. So each purchased their ticket and awaited developments. When the figures were pubs lished it was found that Stanley's ticket had drawn twentieth part of the capital prize of one hundred thousand dollars, and Mr. Whitney's ticket drew an Approximation" prize of ten dollars.
 The other day, promptly on time, MT. Stanley received a check for five thousand he carried out his agreement to the letter and gave the postmaster twenty-five hundred dollars.
 Mir. Stanley owns and runs small coat making establishment and employs about twenty hands. He will probably enlarge his business now, and consequently will give employment to more of the villagers. MT. Stanley drives his "coat cart" through the surrounding country, having his goods made in the different villages. He now contsmplstes staying right at home.
 MT. Whitney has been postmaster about two years and is one of President Clsve- lands appointees. The income from his little office is not very large, in fact just about a living, so that his windfall is 6 good thing for him he says. He contem- plates starting a country store as soon aS 1t is settled who shall occupy the Presi- dents chair for the next term. These two mems luck is a by-word in the village, but no one begrudges them their good fortune. Portland (Me.) Express, July 11th.

 Three small boys were before the City court yesterday charged with stealing fruit. Their parents paid fine, which saved them from going to jail The police are going to protect the gardens.
 Hayes, Who Shet at Landlord Brad- ley, Goes to the Insane Retreat. Ezekiel F. Hayes, who shot at Landlord Bradley the other day, wac committed to the insane asylum at Middletown yesterday. The witnesses testified to the facts of the shcot- ing substantially as published in the COURIER. Dr. Lindsley, the expert, upon whose testimony rested the question whether he went to the insane asylum or jail, said that he had examined the prisoner three times and found him to be simple minded man, of high development, who was at any time liable to great mental excitement, and therefore dangerous man to be at large. That his case WAS a mild form of insanity, as at any time these spells are liable to come, and with no regularity. That he probably knows the penalty of rash act, but when mentally disturbed would not stop to think.
 Judge Pickett discharged him on the charge of attempt to kill and committed him to Middletown.
 Hayes has an estate of $200 and Fred Farnaworth, an old schoolmate, who has done great deal for Hayes, was appointed overseer of his property, giving bond to that effect. The defense of the woman who has figured in the case, and whom Hayes claims has been abused, is his hobby, and if ! the only thing he will talk about. Detective Reilly took him to Middletown on the 10:2( train yesterday.
