Roger, the celebrated French tenor, on
one occasion was engaged for the sum of
1900 francs to sing at the house of a rich
financier. Roger sang his first song mag
nificently; but no one paid him the slight
est attention, and the guests talked their
loudest. Presently the host thought the
time had come for another song, and sent
for Roger. He could not be found, and
that evening was seen no more. Next day
note came from him, accompanied by
the sum of 1000 francs. The note ran thus:
81 have the honor to return the 1900 francs
which | received for singing at your party;
and | beg leave to add 800 francs more for
having so greatly disturbed the converse
tion of your guests. "-ArgOndut

WalpOle, N. H., but Escapes.
Eugene Martin, aged %, son of black
smith at Mount Holly, assaulted his Il
year-old sister in the woods in a lonely
spot in that town one day last week. The
girl fought desperately, while the brother
attempted to stitle her cries. He was
frightened by seeing some one come to her
rescue. He ran into the woods and the
girl went home, her clothes torn and her
face and body scratched. 1t was thought
that Martin would follow the railroad, and
officers all along the line were notified to
be on the lookout for him. He was ar
rested at North Walpole, opposite Bellows
Falls, by Officer Stapleton, but soon man
aged to escape. Martin was at one time a
Fitchburg brakeman and has served SEN
tence in Jail for placing distractions on

The people of the county should
take pride in their county town,
and should do all their trading
with its merchants. If the people
of the county would give their
patronage to their county town in
stead of going to towns in other
states, they would soon fnd the
town a prosperous and busy place,
with plenty of good stores, both
wholesale and retail, and also with
produce houses that would buy for
cash everything the farmer raises.
The town now has as good stores
as can be found in Pomeroy, Mid
dleport or Gallipolis, and our
merchants sell as cheap as any of
them. Why not keep your trade
at home and give your own business
men the benefit of your money 2
