Last evening more people were in our
streets than on any evening since the
evening that our police force was in
creased to three men, including our
good -natured captain and the sergeant
and spare evening watchman.
The coroner has come TO the conclusion
that the accident last evening as prayer
meeting was letting out was purely acct
dental, and no one was TO blame, but
the resident who was killed, who was
one of our esteemed citizens, who had
lived in our midst many years, being
born here.
An unknown man, alias Dennis
Murphy, that was arrested by the police
men who guard our village last Tuesday
for swearing on the square, was In the
crowded courtr Dom day before yesterday,
forenoon, and fined a certain amount,

and costs. He will have TO go to Jail,
ii Is supposed by some, because he has no
money, being of an improvident nature
and not being brought up of the best.

cause the Bulletin last week had it all
wrong, saying that he had only made
room for two small barrels. 1t will sell
five papers more, because Mr.. Handy has
visitors visiting with him from his boy
hoods home near Rhode Island.
A man here named Brown was myster-
iously murdered yesterday by man or
men who ran away instantly. Our entire

for new door to the Jail some months
| living, and four children by the first
named, there being none of the other.

| cart is rumored as soon being necessary.

amongst us. The taxpayers are in earnest
in this movement, and there is no ener-
| waiting upholstery on our anxious seat.
In the pond, yesterday, with a great
| course OF people on the woody banks,
| was a baptism solemnized before many

| mud.

place recently, and at this writing all are
| extremely well to do, and the father has
| not lost his job as some evil tongued per-
| son was disposed to start a rumor Of

| here yesterday afternoon, when il was
| discovered that q confiagration broke on
| suddenly In the new store in the center
| of the village, and an old resident started
| the rumor that the fire department was
| down the bay for a clambake, and the
| election of officers on their annual outing,
| which has occurred about this time or a
| little earlier every year for large number
| of years. Yesterday many OF their wives

| the bake, leaving but few of the tax
payers to put out the said fire. which
was now spreading widely and fast to
| the spot where the former proprietor OF
| the store kept his oil barrels, but they
| haven't been there for several months,

/ willing hands removed the contents OF
the store, and buckets from the nearby
| stream saved us.

| collector, has had his wheelbarrow

| home on Cow avenue last night. Her
young friends in the village were nearly
