Mrs. Mary Wetherbee, a daughter of

iessed that she was the mother of the child
found in the river at Manchester Centre
Nov. %. She came from Montreal the night
of Nov. %, and while on her way to her
fathers house threw the three weeks old
baby into the river while It was yet alive.
She says she was without money and des-
perate aud can give no other reason for
the crime. She has heen employed doing
housework since her arrival home. Mrs.
Wetherbee is % years old and was married
five years ago, her husband leaving her
two years later. She worked in Manches-
ter and in October went to Montreal hos
pital where her child was born Mrs.
Wetherbee was taken to the Jail al Ben

who met such tragic death year or two
ago. During Mrs. Leach's stay at this
place she has endeared herself to everyone
with whom she has associated and her many
friends will be glad to see her here again
next year.
The sensation of the week has been the
ol I'D
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Price to other parts.
On Tuesday morning they took the train
and were about to 'skip," but certain
things had excited the suspicious of one or
two persons, who were on the watch and a
message was sent W. d. Howe at Reads
boro to arrest Mr.. Price when he reached
that place; for it seems that Mr.. Price in
his haste had taken over 500 worth of
watchmaker's tools belonging to others.
When Price saw that he was caught he
weakened and the tools were sent back.
Mrs. Price bought about $11 worth of goods
the night before at c. D. Spencer & Co.'s
and rather than have any further trouble
about it Price sent back $40, and the pair
went on their way rejoicing. Price came
to this place last summer, and by his pleas
ant manner and rare musical talent, at
once ingratiated himself into the favor of
many though others were dstrustful. He
was made leader of the band, and be it said
to his credit he has done good work in this
respect. He opened a watchmaker's shop
in the house belonging to Mrs. Dudley and
Miss Estey. He might have had all the
work he could do had he given it attention
He has heretofore been connected with
travelling shows and evidently he cannot
settle down to steady employment. Fred
Holmes, who has been associated with
Price, has also made arrangements to leave
town and now there is tenement to rent
to some reliable party.
