The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1894-03-02
FRIDAY MORNING, MAR. 2. 1894
WESTON.

800 below zero Sunday morning
at Hannum's store.
The social at Rev. M. Boynton's
Thursday evening of last week was
we'll attended, about a hundred being
present.
The law suit between P. d. Peck,
plaintiff and E. E. Hodge, defen-
dant, was decided in favor Of plain
tiff, allowing him five dollars damage
and costs. A. f. Cudworth for
plaintiff, j. G. Sargent for defen-
dant.
There was a good attendance at
the social at H, E. Partridge's Tues.
day evening, and the occasion was
much enjoyed by all present.
In connection with what has been
said with regard to the recent dance
we will say further, that it was not
our intention to criticise the dance,
or any who might have taken
part in it. 1t was the way
in which it was gotten up. We
think II it had been the intention
Of the parties to do the fair thing a.
bout it they would have asked per-
mission of the base ball. boys to put
in adanee and advertise it in connec-
ton with their entertainment, instead
of doing it without their permission.
Now with regard to some Of the good
people being deadheaded in to the
dance hall, of course we cannot say
how many were let in free. We pre-
sumo that 1t meant for a hit on us for
we were deadheaded in by one who
seemed high in authority, and sup
posed it was all right. We stald, we
think, nearly an hour. Now if any
one wants to hit in that way we will
suggest that they pay their dues to
the B. B. association the amounts
are small to be sure, but every little
helps IN these democratic times of
plenty. In our items of the 9TH inst.
when we spoke of the good people
we had reference to the church peo-
pie, we did not class ourself among
them. Oh, mol We called them the
good people because we had no bet
ter name for them, and the dance
we know, from personal observation,
TO be perfectly civil affair, and we
do nrt wish to criticise, but as we
said before it is the instigator of it
that we had reference to, and, if they
wish to display their asinine qualities
by trying to throw what was so plain
ly meant for themselve on to other
parties, we are not surprised that they
thought it would be all right to ad-
vertise the dance in connection with
the entertainment without saying
anything about it. c.

ing imposition of this sort is to begin con- versation with the subject in very loud tone and gradually lower the voice, keep ing up rapid fire of question and answer on some indifferent subejct where the shammor will unsuspectingly continue to reply to questions after the voice has drop ped much below an ordinary tone. One case I met with defied all effort at detec- tion till we got comrade to tap on the mans window at night and call him very softly, when he immediately responded.
 Insanity is one of the commonest meth- ods of attempted deception, but it is more difficult of success, as few sailors or sol- diers are sufficiently good actors to keep up to their parts without either overdoing it or making some false move not at all characteristic of their supposed form of trouble. Melancholia and furious mania are the forms of insanity most frequently feigned, and it has been not uncommon to have consistently simulated insanity de- velop finally into the real disease.
 ''One curious case that I recollect was in Washington during the war. A soldier who had been sent to the hospital with slight fever recovered his health, but with his reason apparently hopelessly deranged. It was simply mild form of mania and tho fellow sat for days at an open window in the ward, fishing out of the window with bent pin and piece of cotton. Nothing could be done with him, and his discharge was finally made out and brought to him. He paid no attention to it's read ing, but when the physician was gone, was afterward informed he hooked the document to his fishing line, and, throw ing it out of the window, drew it gravely in, and, putting it in his pocket, remarked, There, you, I've been fishing for you for eix weeks, and now Two got youl' ''- Vashin pton Post
