It seems that the Australian ballot is not absolutely proof against fraud, Michael J. Ryan of Gardner, Mass, prominent democratic politician, having been arrested for altering ballots while assisting in the count on election day. It is claimed that with a small pencil concealed in his hand he was seen to make g cross against Rus sells name on ballot which was marked for Allen, causing it to be thrown out and Allen to lose the vote. About 50 ballots were thus thrown out. It is also claimed that the same thing was done in other towns and cities in Western Massa- chusetts. In Boston a sharp trick was employed to find out how person voted. His vote was challenged, which con- Epelled the writing of his name on his bal lot; then airecount was demanded in that precinct, and 1t was easy enough to find against which name he had made his cross.

 There's been great deal of witch ing, fussing and experimenting with the passenger trains of the N. L. N. railroad, called changes in the time tables," in late years. At this present the patro- nizing public in. the matter of passenger and mail transportation, especially north ward, is put at greater inconvenience than ever. This is owing chiefly to the change in time of Downer's old train. At this point, for instance, the larger portion of the mail matter arrives about daylight on the boat train and remains ali day at the depot. Then you must wait till noon be- fore you can go north, and that 12 m. train isn't mail train, either.
 The present mail arrangements are such that our items for The Press, to be published Thursday afternoon, must be written up Tuesday. They must leave the post office here early Wednesday morning, and they lie at the post office in West Wilmington till evening, when the accumulated mail matter for the north is graciously forwarded.

On the roof of the horticulture building at the worlds fair in 1893, around the central dome, an elaborate display oi oof-gardening will be made. It is ex. pected that this will not only be pleasur. able to visitors, but will afford valuable suggestions that will be utilized by per. sons who live in large cities and are de. priyed of door-yards and lawns. In the center of the building will be miniature mountain, seventy feet high, upon which will grow giant tree-ferns and palms, and other vegetation, finding there congenial home. A mountain stream will dash from one declivity to another and play .hide-and- seek with the foliage. Beneath this rock mountain will be cave, eighty feet in diameter and sixty feet high, bril-. liantiy lighted by electricity, where, dur. ing the whole six months of the exposi
 tion, the experiment. will be tried whether plants will grow under electric light as we'll as under sunlight. Chief Thorpe, oi the horticulture division, originated the plan. z

MANsFIELD.

[ "A fair was held at the country resi-
 dence of Edwin Reynolds, Wednesday afternoon and evening, by the Hillside
 ladies' club. A large display of bed cloth 1 ing and fancy articles were tastefully ar
 ranged in the hall and front rooms of the mansion, mostly made by ladies belong 1 ing to the club. A large national flag was looped over the stairway leading to up- per rooms, to which all had access as we'll as to rooms below. In spite of decided 1 ly cold wind from northwest that prevail ed all day and evening, a large number were in attendance. Among the many enjoyable attractions was basket of walnuts, all present being invited to guess the number of walnu@ it contained. Of course each one guessed at random, rang ing from one to six thousand, the latter number being quite near the actual count. Some one evidently coveted the booby prize and guessed one walnut and won a large (beat) beet. Mrs. Walker had charge of the guess basket and raked in nearly $5 worth of dimes. Among the many distinguished persons present we noticed MT. and Mrs. Edwin Reynolds of Milwaukee, Mrs. G.. H. Reynolds and niece of Spring Manor, Mrs. G. w. Mer- row, Professor Rooms of Storrs Agricul- tural School, Rev. MT. Morgan and daughter, and G. K. Mason and wife of Willimantic. The proceeds ofathe fair, about $20O, will be used to furnish new hall to be built in the spring at the cross ing, few rods below the residence of Dr. Johnson. A plan of the building in- dicates an elaborate structure, superior to anything in country towns. Over $3000 has been subscribed, and the balance will be raised in due time.
 B. M. Sears, having completed his new barn of sufficient size to house all his stock and farm products, has commenced to tear down his old barn and sheds, and the places they have occupied longer than any living man or woman in town can re- member, will soon be vacant. Thus old things give place to new, and the change is no less marked than in relation to the old stock of people who few years since were prominent in this vicinity. They have passed on to land of rest, and the pleasant salutation, ,s'good morning." and cordial shake of the hand only remains in memory. The old have passed away, and the younger that survive have gone to village or city, or some more fertile fields.

 Hartford Post: If the citizens of the town of Mansfield rest quietly under their recurring barn burnings, church vandalism and other forms of lawlessness they will have to be charged with an amazing lack of that excellent Yankee quality called s'gumptiOH. The lawlessness seems to be openly charged against one of the three Costello brothers, and the compla- cency with which the citizens predict that when Costello takes a drink another barn will be burned or the church again de- faced is almost beyond comprehension. If Costello is the cause of all these depre- sheer nonsense to permit man to thus injure or destroy wantonly or revengeful- iy. Ordinary vigilance ought to be enough to put him in jail. It becomes tiresome to hear the Mansfield citizens constantly placing this wickedness at the doors of Costello, and then quietly permitting him to continue it.
 The Haverhill Bulletin says that it is proposed to establish at Lynn bank to accommodate small borrowers In that city, as in many others, there are persons engaged in trade who would be benefited by such accommodations. It is generally true that the losses incurred by banks are by discounting paper issued by large manufacturers and traders, not living where the discounts are made. Such is the opinion of some of the most expe- rienced bank officers. We suppose that in many of the smaller cities banks en- deavor to accommodate every borrower worthy of credit, but they would be sur prised to learn how far the Bank of Faance goes in the way of lending to small bor- rowers. Many of them do not borrow more than $5, $10 or $20, and the bank does an enormous business of this kind. The American banks have hardly followed the example of this great institution, which in many respects must be regarded as the first bank in the world. Whatever may be said concerning some of it's prac- tices (and we may note that in several numbers we have been describing the management and history of this bank ) ii is certain that American banks could dc much more than they have in the way oi accommodating small borrowers. Oi course these transactions mean more book keeping and more expense, but they, also mean the extending of the functions oi bank, of making it of more worth to g lcommunity, and thus of increasing it's popularity = BGsatey's MGgGsise.
