THE LONDONDERRY SITTER,


A fellow from somewhere, every
where or nowhere came to this place
about two months ago aud obtained
work in G, ID. Farnum's saw mill,
giving his name as John Hamilton.
Last Saturday he settled with Far
mum and obtained his pay into six
dollars. In the evening he went to
the Goddard livery and hired team
to go to the North village and to re-
turn in the morning. Instead of 60
ing TO that place he crossed the bridge
and took the road to Manchester.
This was not known by the livery
people until the next day, Sunday.
Early Monday morning kilograms
were sent to various places on the
west side of the mountain, both in
Vermont and York state. Late in
the afternoon dispatch was received
from Coxsackie, N. Y, inquiring if
a horse had been stolen here, as one
was there with the livery association
mark belonging to this place. An
immediate answer was sent request
ing that the man and team be held
and sheriff Melendy and S. f. Toll
man, connected with the livery, lstart-
ed at once for Manchester where they
took a night train. Arriving at Cox
sackie they found the team but the
bird had flown. The fellow had ira
ded the team several times and got
the whole rig in his pocket. When
the dispatch sent from here was re-
ceived at Coxsackie telephone mes
sage was sent to an officer, the tele-
phone being located in a hotel, and
by this means confederate or SYM
pathizer got hold of it and gave it to
Hamilton who skipped few minutes
before the arrival of the officer. Mr..
Tolman returned Wednesday with the
team, the sheriff preceded him. The
entire property, with the exception
of a blanket and whip, was recovered
Hamilton skipped his board bill
here, leaving w. r. Aldrich in thu
lurch to the tune of ten dollars o.
more.
Mr.. Tolman, when returning witt
the team came near being arrested
twice by parties who had descriptions
of the stolen property.

Mr.. Editor. The late Dean Rich
mond at one time officially connected
with the New York Central Railroad,
was well known as very poor PEN
man, so poor, in fact, to use bor-
rowed expression, that he "could not
read his own writing after it got cold"
1t is said that he wrote an order on
grocery store once that was afterward
used as pass on that road for more
than two years, the conductors always
honoring it when presented, because
his signature, with which they were
all familiar, was attached to the same.
Another time a most execrably
written telegram by Mr.. Richmond
was surreptitiously referred to him
for translation by an operator who
was inclined to be practical joker.
Not recognizing his own handwriting,
and being unable to decipher the mes
sage, he laconically remarked that he
guessed it didn't amount to much,
anyhow, and asked auho wrote it
