STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

Says the Kennebec Journal: "a parallel
case to that of the man who poisoned his
neighbours dog and sent for the neighbor to
bury the carcass, as it was emitting an often
evening last week. A man had driven in
with load Of cherries and his team YVES
standing in front of Water street fruit
store. An urchin came along and asked the
owner of the team what he would sell a
quart of cherries for. The cherry man asked
the boy what they charged in the fruit store
and was told twelve cents. "Then I'll let
you have quart for ten cents" The cher
ries were measured out, and the cherry ven
der entered the store, quart in hand, and
have yer got any paper bags in here?" The
paper bag being given him, he filled it,
handed 1t to the boy, took the ten cents and
departed.

A lady living in Westbrook saw black
woodchuck providing around her garden and
fields several times within few weeks,
Not being fond of woodchucks in general
and black ones in particular, she engaged "a
young fellow to slaughter the animal. AS is
usual in such cases, when the woodchuck
was there the boy was not, and the lady
could do nothing but attack the animal her
self. She took bat, and stealing up be-
hind the grounding when he was busy
thinking about his sins or something else,
laid him out with Q blow and killed him
with the next. This makes one more occu.

The Maine Farmer comes out thus strong
ly for the electric road. Its sentiments
might well be copied elsewhere and commit
ted to memory:
Horses are easily frightened at any moving OBJ
ject, where the motive power is not plainly seen,
and already serious accidents are reported along
the lie of the electric railroad. The line is
ming, the will not stop, and owners and driv-
ers should exercise the greatest care until their
