A RICHFORD BOY MISSING.

On Saturday, Jan. 5, Robert, son
of Rev L. Dodd of Richford, Vt, left
home and has not been heard of
since. He was about Is years of
age, rather tall and slim, blue eyes,
light brown hair. The grief stricken
parents have offered $50 reward for
information that shall lead to his
restoration and all Northern Yer
mont has been searched for trace of
him. Aside from the interest which
such case always excites there is a
local interest in the fact that the boy
has been traced to st. Johnsbury but
no farther. On Monday, Jan. 13, the
Lyndonville baggage master found a
boy in the station who answered to
the description of young Dodd who
said he wanted to go to Newbury
but had no money to pay his fare.
The baggage master pointed him to
freight car bound South and told
him if he boarded that, he would go
toward Newbury. The boy obeyed
and upon investigation it was found
that the car was set off at St Johns
bury. Messrs Parker and Ryan
came here from Richford Wednesday
and learned that on the Wednesday
previous boy answering to Dodd's
description was seen about the depot
Thisis thelast place they have traced
him to, and whether he has gone
down the road to Newbury or has
struck out in the country is not
known. The search will becontinued
in this vicinity with increased vigor

A Samoan Maids Romance.

In the book of Mrs. Laulm Willis,
the Samoan woman whose husband, q
contractor, left Alameda several days
ago and has since been missing, occurs
the following quaint story of how she
fell in love with her husband:
SThe first thing saw when we went
alongside the ship was white man
with bald head. That looked very
funny to me, as had never seen q
bald-headed man before. He was real
fat and nice-looking, but he did not
have any hair on his head, and I got
my brother, who could talk English, to
ask him, just as we got aboard, where
was all the hair that belonged on his
head. And the white man told him
that he lived in California, and they
did not have any cold weather there,
but had what they called a glorious
climate and the climate had taken
all the hair off his head. We got very
well acquainted, and I liked him, be-
cause when another white man kept
talking to me this one with the bald
head quarreled with him and knocked
him down 80 he should not bother me-
