A young man was found half-conscious

Officers from Keene raided the hotels at
Swanzey and Swanzey Centre last Satur-
day. At the former place they found only
beer, but at the latter they seized various
kinds of liquors in small quantities. The
proprietors of both establishments were
put under 500 bonds for appearance at
the county court. Matthew Hale of North
Walpole was also required to furnish sure
ties in the same sum for keeping malt
liquors.
a few days ago the two young sons of
Otis Kingsbury were out i'm pasture when
they saw a bottle. One of them threw a
stone at it, which caused a terrific eXplo-
sion, which was heard mile away and
attracted many people. The boy was ten
feet from the bottle, but was badly burned
about the face. 1t is believed the contents
of the bottle was nitro-gl ycerine but where
it came from is a mystery.
Still another tragedy has been added to
the long list in New Hampshire by the
mysterious and violent death of Josiah
WATSON of Hampton. Wasson was expect
ed to inherit a small fortune from Dorothy
WATSON, a widow, and suspicion rests up
on her brother Joseph Garland, an eX-
preacher and Il graduate of BOwdoin college
in the class of II. Wassons body was
found in a swamp near the Hampton river
with a terrible cash under the eye and
physicians declare that death was caused
by the wound. He was last seen alive
while working in the field with Garland.
Garland is so years old. Thirty or forty
years ago he was a Congregational preacher
at Charlestown.
Burglars were abroad at Ashuelot on
Wednesday night Of last week The bar
Der shop of Frank Hill was broken into
and his entire stock of raZorS and a quantity
of cigars and tobacco was stolen. The
store of Wright Woods was also entered and
some gold watches and jewelry to the
amount of 5000 was stolen. At the latter
place Landlord Kingsley of the Kingsley
House near the store heard some noise and
arming himself with a revolver sailed
out to awaken Mr.. Wood The burglars
took fright and fled. leaving behind a
quantity of goods packed up ready for re-
moval. Kingsley fired five shots at them
as they retreated and is thought to have
wounded one of them. Sheriff RiXford
arrested suspicious character near Rich
mOnd.
