HOLLAND.

The school of Willington school dis trict No. 8 will give an entertainment in the town hall in Holland on Friday even ing of this week. This school has, under direction of the teacher, Mrs. Brownlee, given entertainments in their own town to good audiences and with good satisfac- tiOn. They are assisted by outside friends also, and will offer good program, we'll carried out. The object is to raise money for new desks in their school house.
 Parties interested claim that an in- justice was done them in the item con- corning a case in the superior court, and inquiry satisfies us that the claim is well based. G. P. Charter and wife were not implicated in the case as stated, nor be- ing parties, and the assertion that evil dence showed that they instigated the crime was very faulty. Again, there was no proof that the horse taken was abused, as charged by MT. Green, and the boys charged with the crime were acquitted on both of the counts, the jury disagreeing only on first ballot in the case of one. Also, one of the boys at least was not, as stated, from the house of refuge" but was from Windsor, and his father attend ed the court and paid for his defence. The horse was taken from MT. Greens premises, as stated, but there was no proof that the boys charged with the crime were the guilty ones, or of any i'm plication of the Charters in the matter.
