A Walking Harroom.

HAMBURG, Conn.,, Aug. 27.-The
Prohibtionists of this region are wild
over a discovery that they have for ears
been hoodwinked by an eccentric indi.
vidual whom they supposed was simon
pure in his devotion to their principles.
The death. of this individual, whose
name was Kildeer Huff, opened the ey es
OF the PrOhibitionists. Huff came to
this place several years ago. He was
strange person. who lived alone in a
rude hut on Potato Hill. He pretended
To be deal, and dumb, but boys who have
taEtalized him say that Huff could swear
very fluently. In addition, he was
humpbacked, aud on account of his de-
formitY he was an object Of pity to the
townspeople, none of whom knew where
he came from.
Last Friday Huff was found dead by
the roadside near his hut on Potato
Hill. The villagers were surprised to
find that lie was not humpback. The
deformity proved to be padded sack,
inside OF which was found dozen pint
bottles, containing rum, whlskey and
cordial, and III his pocket was found
$l07, mostly in dimes and nlckles. the
regulation barroom change. The hump
back has been a walking barroom, and
the mystery of how he supported him
self IS solved. Tho town is a no-licensc
place, and the Prohibitionists have flat
tered themselves that here, at least, no
drinking was done. 1t is remembered
that Hnfl used to prowl around late at
night, during which time he visited the
houses of those who love an occasional
pip. and either sold them pint bottle
or else drink, Tor which he charged
only cents.
