-rhe following appeared in the Rut-

rhefollowing appeared in the Rut-
lane Herald of the 10th inst:
S. L. Griffith is rushing work on his
new club house on the shores of Lake
Griffith, to have all in readiness for fish
ing as soon as possible after the trouting
season opens, May /. Mr. Griffith pur-
chased the lake and large tract sur
rounding it for private fishing aud shoot
ing purposes and has posted it for his
own use.
Lake Griffith, formerly known as "Buf
fun pond" is one of the most celebrated
trouting resorts i'll the state, and has been
the rendezvous of fishing parties for
years past. Now however, as Mr.. Grif-
fifth has spent large sum of money i'm
proving the surrounding property and
wishes to increase the natural piscatory
products of the waters, he has decided to
post the lake, as well as stretch of the
outlet stream.
The waters viii be closely watched
from this time forward, and any one
caught poaching will be summarily dealt
with according to the provisions of the
state law governing such cases.
Butfum pond is natural trout pond
in the wilderness of north Peru.
Mr.. Griffith owns all the surrounding
land and purposes private fishing
and shooting preserve, and although
several miles from any clearing has
posted it as well as the neighboring
stream and warns all intruding parties
that they will be summarily dealt
with. We understand that an effort
was vainly made short time ago by
certain public spirited persons to pro-
cure few rods width of timber adj
joining this water, with view of a
public park for the perpetual benefit
of all. The constitution of our state
gives 10 all the right TO fowl and fish
upon all public waters and wild lands,
whether rich or poor, high or low, and
the statute provides for means of ap-
proach through private laLds to pub
| lie waters and den0minates all natur-
al ponds of over twenty acres as pub
lie waters. AS parties from Dorset
by actual survey find quite forty
acres in this pond, the query is
How does Mi. Griffith control this
pond and deprive it Of its well es-
tablished name. We understand that
he is omnipotent in Mt. Tabor, as
despotio as the Car of Russia, but
| he may find that surrounding towns
and the State at large will not accept
his dictation.

A Massachusetts Scandal that Reaches
into this Locality.

Fitchburg, Mass, is stirred from
center to circumference over a social
scandal in high life, involving the fam
lily Of ex-Mayor and police Judge G.
S. Hayden and his Vermont type writer,
Miss Addie F. Gillett who went to
Fitchburg about five years ago and en-
tered the employ of the ex-Mayor.
Last Saturday an attachment was
placed upon Hayden's property by
Miss Gillett. The record of the at
tachment states it is an action Cf con-
tract and the amount is for $4,000.
What the nature of this contract
may be is what disturbs the souls of the
Fitchburgers, as the fair type writer
still occupies the Judges Office and
domiciles at his fine new residence. Ad-
dilional light seems to have been pro-
vided on Monday when Mrs. Hayden,
who left her husbands residence few
weeks ago, filed bill praying for di-
vorce and alimony and naming Miss
Gillett as correspondent.
1t is now thought, down there, ac-
cording to the local papers, that the
suit brought by the type writer was, in
common parlance, put up job to place
Hayden's property out of the reach of
his wife.
The SITTER has private advices in
reference to the matter but prefers, at
present, only to give what has appear
ed in Fitchburg and Boston papers,
and await Developments.
Miss Gillett is an Andover girl and
well-known in this town having, short
time prior to goingto Fitchburg taught
the So. Londonderry village school.

A Disgraceful Affair.

The Salem Journal devotes a column
under a iour header in an account of
how five young men, three being from
Albany, attempted to ruin seventeen
year old girl from Corvallis while on the
recent excursion ut Salem. The Journal
says:
She started to call ON some friends out
sonth OF town and in walking out was
overtaken by two young men whom she
recognized az being on the excursion in a
carriage. They asked her to ride. Soon
three young men joined them. At a
lonely place they urged her to get out,
but she refused, when they forced her
out of the the carriage and into the
bushes with all sorts OF vile threats.
The rest OF her story is too horrible TO
detail. The two men had assaulted her
and torn her clothes and nearly accom-
plished their purpose, when q Salem
man drove along and alarmed them 30
that they let her go and took TO their
heels. From the girls story and all the
actions OF the men and the circumstances
as described by the Salem man, (who
lives in Yew Park, on Oak street, and is
perfectly reliable.) the five men un-
doubtediy had determined 10 commit as
infamous a crime as can well be imag-
ined. The Salem police are making close
inquiry for the men. The Salem police
are on the track OF the men, three OF
whom are young sports from Albany and
two from Corvallis, one a hebrew.
The Statesman says the story is some
what iishy, though the Salem man also
told II 10 reporter OF that paper.
