MR.. HOBBS hoRsEs.
Burglary at Bar MiIls-SuspicIous
Characters In Maine.

Mr.. John E. Hobbs, of North Berwick,
whose stolen horses have been an interesting
subject in this part of the State for the last
two days. was In the city yesterday and had
the satisfaction of receiving telegram from
his wife informing him that his horses, like
little Bo Peeps sheep, had come home wag-
ging their tails behind them. The horses
got home because Mr.. Hobbs and Detective
Davis made 1t very hot for the fellows who
stole them. AS soon as Mr.. Hobbs found
his horses were gone he sent description of
them to every post Office In York and Cum
berland counties in Maine and Rockingham
and STAFFORD counties in New Hampshire.
Then when he got clue Mr.. Hobbs sent that
to all the post offices. In this way great
many people we're put on the lookout. Then
Mr.. Hobbs started for Portland. While here
he learned that his horses had been seen by
railroad man in Saco. 1t seems probable that
the fellows found out soon after leaving
Saco that the whole country was after them
and concluded to abandon the horses. AT
any rate the horses appeared Friday hight at
Mr.. Hobbs stable with their brides on.
Evidently they had found their way home
after being abandoned. They are fine horses
and Mr.. Hobbs is to be congratulated upon
recovering them.
Friday night the store of Meserve Brothers
at Bar Mills was broken into and about $40
worth of stuff was taken. 1t is thought that
the horse thieves may have done the work.
In fact there are great many suspicious
characters rowing over Maine just now. 1t
Is reported from Waterville that several days
ago three suspicious characters drove into
the city from the Oakland road. As the
team came out on to North street at a rapid
rate, they nearly upset in the ditch, and the
lurch threw out boot for horses foot,
made of leather. completely covering the
hoof A man picked up the boot. and one of
the party stopped to get it. His face was
nearly hidden by high coat collar. The
wheels of the wagon had tires very much
like the rim of a bicycle with rubber bands
that made the movements of the carriage
noiseless. The party drove at breakneck
pace out Of the city, north, on the Fairfield
Centre road.

Many people are under the impression
that cucumber is very indigestible, and
when they eat it they do so under pro-
test and with apprehensions of possibly
dire consequences. How this delusion
can have arisen it is difficult to say, I'M
less it be that cucumber is often eaten
with salmon and other indigestible ta-
bic friends 1t is not the cucumber,
however, but the salmon that sits so
heavy upon our stomach's throne. Gu
cumber, in fact, is very digestible when
eaten properly. 1t cannot, indeed, be
otherwise when it is remembered that it
consists mainly of water, and that those
parts which are not water are almost ex-
clusively cells of a very rapid growth.
In eating cucumber it is well to cut it
into thin slices and to masticate them
thoroughly Even the vinegar and the
pepper that are so often added to it are
of service to digestion if not taken in ex-
cess. The cucumber, as every one
knows, belongs to the melon tribe; but
in our somewhat cold country it does
not grow to any very large size, and
therefore it is frmer and looks less d.
gestible than its congener, the melon
