 BoRouaH CouRT. Risley, judge. Last Friday the case of R. M. Chamberlin oi Staffordville was settled, on agreement oi the accused to modify the character and method of his business, to conform to law and the better comfort of his neighbors. State Agent Potter, represented by Law yer Turner, brought several cases against parties for violations of minor law. John Brennan met an assessment of nearly $50 in fine and costs for employing his own chll- dren under 13 years of age. Several others were fined for not sending their children to school, ,,,one of these, Joseph Descharmes, having repeatedly made false statements to officer concerning the age of. his son, and evidence showing that while the lad was kept at work, when he should have been at school, he was not properly fed. Descharmes was sent to jail in default of payment of $l3.50 fine, with added costs.
 Brown Bros of Holyoke, Mass. form erly of Stafford, have bought the Central House on East.

Report says that g., 500 was paid for the lot and an equal sum for the building.
 Whatever sympathy may be felt for the prosecuted employer of a child under 13 years of age who has properly attended school, more is due to parent or employ CTS of the child under IA who has not so attended school. That law makes no hardship to any, and compels duty that should be performed without compulsion.
