The news from North Plain. Conn,
virtually strips him Of every feather of
responsibility and leaves him naked to
the scorn Of the world. The Baptist
Church of North Plain has been robbed
at various times, of sums aggregatiug $j2,
and after three years of pickering,
charges and cnunter-charges the stolen
money has been traced to a couple Of
English sparrows that had nest ia a
vine near the Church. The evidence
against the sparrows is indispulable, as
the missing money, in bills ranging from
81 to -, has been found woven into
their nest.
With The discovery Of this money
peace is restored in Church which has
been rcul and torn since The thctts were
first discovered. The money was always
missed out of the sums turned in by the
deaconS who took up The collections, cir
