Interested Friends.

, Let Inc especially warn the reader,
particularly the newly married reader,
against tho type of friend from the
country who, SO soon as he learns You
have set up house in London, sud
denly discovers an interest in your for
tunes which, like certain rivers, has
run underground farther than you can
remember. They write and tell Won
they are thinking of coming to town
and would like to spend few days
with you. They leave their London ad-
dress vague 1t has the look of blank
which You are expected to fill up. You
shrewd1y surmise that, so to say, they
mediate paying visit to Euston and
spending a fortnight with you on the
way. But if you are wise and subtle
and strong you cut this acquaintance
ruthlessly as you lop branch. Cut it
away and cast it into the ovta of obliv-
ion. Don't fear to hurt it. These peo-
pie care as little for you as you for
them. All they want is board and lodg.
ing, and If you give it to them you may
be an amateur hotel keeper all your
days. Prose Fancies," LIE Gallienne.

WlNpHAM COUNTY COURT.

Contrary to expectations the two
suits involving fishing rights in ponds
did not come to trial. The case of
the Vermont Farm Machine Compa-
ny VS. Balchelder 4 Co. of Boston
was the first to be taken up and is yet
on trial. The gist of this cause is as
follows: Batchclder & Co. have
several creameries in Washington
county and for the one at Plainfeld
they purchased separator Of the
plaintiffs. This they kept for awhile
and then shipped it back, claiming
that it did not fill the guaranty, and
bought another make. The Farm
Machine Company brought suit to re-
cover the price Of the separator. The
real contention is to establish the SUI
periority of one or the other Of the
separators. Much expert testimony
has been introduced and the case is
being bitterly fought.
Among the indictments found by
the grand jury were two against Stella
Green Of Chester, and Charles Rice
of Brookline for alleged infanticlde
in Bellows Falls in June. The court,
lfeeling that their bail.was insufficient
for the crime, ordered them arrested,
which was done and both,were lodged
in Jail to await trial. An indictment
was also found against Harry Lord
for tampering with railroad switches.

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 20, 1895.
The Spinning Wheel.

1t used to stand In the kitchen, In cor
ner cherry and bright,
Where the burning log In the fireplace
shot up glowing fountains of light
And the crakling flames played hide and
seek with the shadows hid away
In the yawning mouth of the chimney, so
awfully huge and gray
Or leaped out on the red brick hearth and
danced with the shadows there,
While the old wheel kept the best of time
in the freplace's tlful glare,
Singing aud spinning
Spinning and singing,
Now fast aud faster it turns,
And the flames lapcd high,
And the shadows danced by,
When grandmother used to spin.
The wool on the old brown spindle was
as snowy as the snowdrfts ontside,
And seemed as we watched 1t WIRING
round like SNOWFALL taking ride ;
Then winding the yarn in big round ball
SO firm and soft and whitA,.
We were almost afraid it would really
melt in the heat of the open freight
But tossed it about and watched 1t grow,
as the wheel kept buzzinS round,
And laughed and romped in the ruddy
glow, and thought it the sweetest
sound.
Singing and spinning,
Spinning aud singing,
Now fast and faster 1t turns
Andsthe flames leaped high,
And the shadows danced by,
When grandmother used to spin.
