THE case of tbe State VS.. Jobn Kirbv.

The case of the State VS.. John Kirby,
charged with violation fthe liquor law,
came up before Judge Darling Monday
morning, but the case was settled up for
Sl64. As.
THE Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. collected taxes last year upon 2, I5l,-
SIS, $3.50 cigarettes. No wonder the max
ers Of small collins coined fortunes dur
ing the same period.
d. j. PRATT of the Stark House, hav-
ing secured the lease of the Greylock
House at Adams, Mass, has moved to
that place. The immediate cause of the
change was trouble with the prohibitory
law.
The lawn party of St. Katharine's
Guild last evening was fine affair.
The grounds being wet, the company
had the whole Of the lower part of the
G. S. Bradford residence and the spac-
lous Verandas to use, making a capital
place and occasion.
THE heavy RAIN OF Tuesday night
raised the water in the Walloomsac 80
as TO interfere for time with the re-
pairs about the Wooden Mills. The dam
age however is confined to some tenn
porary dams erected to keep the water
out so the work could proceed. All is
going on as usual.
THE Tribune of yesterday says 1.-THE
will Of John O'Mahony, OF No. 800 Clih-
ton Ave, this city, by which 81, 500 is
left In charitable requests and the re.
manner OF bis estate to his wife, IS to be
contested by cousin. Daniel O'Donnell
OF Bennington, VT, who asserts that the
will was not properly attested."
YESTERDAY ended the trouting season
thrOug bout the State under the new law,
instead of September LIST, as heretofore.
The new law gives general satisfaction
among sporting men, as August trout
are usually full of spawn, so it is be-
lieved that the new provisions will COM
pensate for the shorter season by the
improved fishing.
THE newspapers are making fun of
the $4,000 constitution which VIM. NJ.
EvaTts is reported to have written for
North Dakota. II is said to be "marvel
OF completeness, but the guild-editorial
aver that the convention is wrestling
with the problem OF cutting il up into
sentences short enough for the common
mind to understand, rather than it's
adoption. The latter is a matter OF
course"
CHARLES FREDERICK whose late ex-
ploits in North Bennington, are mem
toned to-day under that heading. was
there said to have been committed to
the care of Myron H. Chandler at the
town farm. He fell into good hands,
but the disease, delirium tremens, was
not subdued and during the night of
Tuesday Frederick nearly "cleaned OUT
the place. Yes erday he was removed
to the debtors room here and is under
treatment. He is ordinarily a good
mechanic, we are told, and worked a
long time for H. c. White, but during
the past two months as spent bis &C
foundations on New York whiskey with
the usual results.
