Shooting at North Fairfield.

For several weeks past there have been
repeated acts Of lawlessness carried on In
the back part of this town both at the
Centre and at North Fairfield, Horses,
harnesses, wagons, blankets and robes
have been stolen and In no case has there
been the least clew discovered of the
thieves. Their success seems to have en-
coursged them for last Wednesday night
some one prowling around the residence
of Mr.. James Hoxie of North Fairfield
discharged rife within few iods OF
the house. 1t is supposed that the firing
was accidental and that 1t had the effect
to brighten the thieves away for Mr..
Hoxie could find no trace OF them and
nothing about the premises had been dis
turbed, The presence OF the gun would
seem to show that it was a desperate
gang, ready for any emergency, and the
premature discharge of the piece doubt
less saved much trouble for some one
