In the course Of his testimony, the wit

him after the election that it was the great
est wonder that he was not beaten by 5O-
600. AT this conversation Wood demanded
the State contracts and the forged paper
back. The Governor told him to go to Hal
stead for the latter. This caused the wit
ness some fear that the paper would be again
published. The Governor assured him that
would not happen, but it did happen within
48 hours, and he was arrested for criminal
libel. The witness said he did not under
reading the newspapers. Ali he wanted was
to be set right. He was tired of being ac-

He stopped Kissing Games.

TAUNTON, January ia condition of
affairs" exists at what is called the Brick
church neighborhood in the town of Dighton
and on the borders of Rehoboth. Rev. N.
I. Dyer is the pastor, and he has been in
charge about two years, but recently he
started an active crusade against church
gatherings of a social nature, where plays
Whlch involved more or less hugging and
kissing were popular.
This course has aroused the ire of a por-
tion OF this primitive and amornus communi-
", and leo to the most outrageous procead-
ings, subjecting Mr.. Dyer to all sorts of in
dignities. Deputy Sheriff Corey was sent
ringleader, but the latter's friends had
spirited him over into Rhode Island.
AT hrst the parson supposed the antipathy
te him was confined to the young people, but
the officers investigations satisfied him
some ripe old splnsters are alsp up in arms
over the Introduction which has been placed
upon "Copenhagen," "London Bridge"
Post Office" and such emotional plays.
The upshot of all this is that the pastors
enemies have resorted to all sorts of tricks
to make life q burden to him. They have
tied up his door, and nailed up his gate, and
stepped out from an ambush on the roadside
when he has been going home dark nights
from church Servicc, and fired off revolYers
and guns in the air behind him, until his
hair has stood on end with fright. Into the
key-hole of the church they have pulled to-
bacco smoke when he was offering prayer,
and worshippers of both sexes have carried
a supply of brittle candy to service, and
crunched it with great gusto at intervals of
solemn silence.
Some of the young bloods have taken bot
ties OF liquor and drank it during the devo-
tional exercises, and Mr.. Dyer informed the
detective that he has collected nearly three
dozen empty TASKS from under the pews, a
rather unique church collection, he thinks.
