TEMS FROM THE STAFFORD
 NEWS LETTER.
September 29, 1866.


 Tt IS our intention to print under this head, from week to week, items of interest from the oldstafford News Letter.
 The items for this issue of the News Letter were set up at Stafford, and it was designed to print this weeks paper there, but, through the failure of parties in New York to ship us machinery in season, we were compelled once more to rely on our Palmer friends. Next week we will issue our paper from our office at Stafford Springs.
 There seems to be considerable feeling in this community over the light sentence given Leroy, the burglar,-one year in the state prison. It is claimed, and we believe justly. that he earned longer term at Wethersf1eld. We cannot see what mitigating circumstances the judge could find, In his case.
 CHANGES AT THE HOLLOW. Claude Harvey has sold out his tin and stove store to Jacob Glover, recently in his en- ploy. MT. Harvey has bought in the G. H. Pinney store, and it is said will suc- ceel MT, Pinney as postmaster. MT. P. has been popular man in all his busi- ness connections with his townsmen, and it is with regret they part company. His connection with jobbing house in New York is the cause of his leaving. His family remain in Stafford for the present CIRCULATING LIBRARY. Il. J. Hold ridge, the well-known news agent in this town, proposes next week to establish a circulting library, the books to be de- livered and called for by him on his daily route. He will start with good collec- tion of standard books, and will add the new works as they are issued. His price will be three cents per day, and no doubt his enterprise in bringing the latest and best literature of the day within the reach of all will be appreciated and bring gen. erous remuneration.
 THE SPRINGS POsT OFFIOE.-For the | information of the public, as our business with the post office is about to terminate, we beg leave to say that our resignation has been rendered the department. We do not know what action has been taken by the officials, not having received ad- vices as yet. In our absence we have made arrangements with MT. Edward F. Whiton, our former assistant, who has the confidence of the public, and is ac- quainted with all the details of the office, to act as postmaster, and who will also act as express agent. This office has five post-office mails besides it's own to handle, receiving three mails by railroad and thkeesby stage. It needs experience and a n's personal daily attendance to per

The future of the moose, oldest and
noblest of the game animals on this
continent, is matter that has interested
good many people. Mr.. Braithwaite,
who has lived among these animals all
his life, says there is no danger of their
diminution in New Brunswick. They
shed their antlers before the snow be-
comes deep in winter, and the sports
man who endeavors to carry away a
hornless moose is always roughly dealt
with by the magistrates down in the
settlements. The only relentless enemy
Of the moose is the lumberman, who in
the depth of winter can make good use
Of the meat. But in the region which is
the subject Of this article there is little
lumber, and so there are few lumber
men. The degenerate Indians Of the viii
lagos seldom trouble themselves to hunt,
and the few moose killed by hunters are
as nothing compared with the young
ones destroyed by the bears Bruin gets
trapped because his coat will average
$50 to his captor. There are no wolves
in this wilderness, SO the prospects for
the moose are getting better instead of
worse. ANd if there are thousands of
moose, thSle are tens of thousands of

With eyes that must perforco be raised N

And small, white hands and little, dancing

But when we met, love, in that hour divine
Your honest eyes looked level into mine.

Neck and submissive TO my lghtcst frown."
But now my heart is lying at your feet
All, how imperiously you smiled 1t down.
And J. your willing slave from day 10 day,
Live but TO love, to honor, to obey.
"She must be fair"
But In your rounded cheek
The red and brown do meet in sweetest

The twilight dusk is in your heavy hair,
And long black lashes added beauty lend
To your brown eyes, where darlsy written lie
loves answers in loves shy obscurity.

ALLIGATOR SENSE.

"Do you know" said Colonel Ben
Cason, leaning back in his chair, THAT
alligators are the most affectionate crea-
lures ON earthf It's fact. And the

alligator's name, was mine l put
chain around his neck. Then got me
long necked bottle, filed it with mo-
lasses and walked up to him. BE opened
his jaws to nab me. That was my
chance. I showed the neck Of the bottle
in his mouth, just back Of his ears,
where an alligator has no teeth. I tilted
the bottle up. Jim tasted the molasses
and began wagging his tail. He broke
Baptiste's leg, but that was an acci-
dent. He was as gentle as setter dog
from the minute he tasted the molasses
taught him lot of pretty tricks
how to catch flies, how to stand on his
tail, how to chew tobacco. Finally
harnessed him up to boat. BE looked
around at me to see what l wanted. l
reached over the side of the boat and
pushed him little. Then he under
stood. OFF he went. When pulled on

nonplused for minute, but he soon
caught on, and now when l go to Des
Allemand's l never have to hire any
body to paddle my canoe. Jim attends

that some repairs be made to it and

B0SQUET CONVICTED.
The Jury Found Him Guilty of the
Charge Against Him.

@AAO - o0AS A1IttA Of GnG
Charge Against Him.
The trial of Eugene Bosquet was con-
cluded in Judge Hinkson's court yester-
day, and the jury were but a short time
in returning a verdict of guilty
The crime of which Bosquet was con-
vieted was that of consenting to Or
permitting his wife to occupy a house of
ill-fame. His defense was that he did
not consent to her leading a life of
shame, but that on the contrary he had
endeayored to dissuade her from it.
1t appears, however. that Mrs. Bos-
quet was an inmate Of such a place be-
fore she married him last July. and that
she resumed her old occupation on COM
ing to Sacramento. The parties rented
a house on n street, as if in anticipation
of some such trouble as has come upon
them, and made a pretense of living
there, though she did business at the
old stand on L street right along, Bos-
quet's sister occupying the adjoining
den.
Bosquet accompanied the women back
and forth, and was of course cognizant
of what they were doing all the time.
Indeed, the women appear to have been
the chief bread-winners for the Bos-
quet household. Bosquet himself seemed
to flourish. He wore good clothes,
sported diamonds and jewelry, and gem
orally had the appearance of a pros
porous fellow-which he undoubtedly
was.
Officers Rutherford and Bagley de-
serve credit for the indefatigable and
efficient manner IN which they have
pushed this case to its conclusion.
There are Others, however, of the
same stamp as the Bosquets, who de-
serve the attention of the police, and if
every case Of the kind were handled as
vigorously as that of Bosquet most Of
the class of creatures who are being
supported by fallen women would be
driven from the city or locked in jail
