Some Thoroughbred Pigs.

Mr. II. Clifford OF East Bethel, VT, has
purchased OF Hood farm, Lowell, Mass a
very fine TITO OF thoroughbred Berkshire
pigs, including the boar King Lee VIII. OF
Hood Farm, who is bv the great King Lee
and out OF Duchess CXXIX.; one of the
best brood sows at Hood farm W no weigh
ed in Marc, 1895, 635 lbs; also two SOW
pigs out of Belle Windsor l., q daughter
OF Lord Windsor. They are sired by Duke
III. OF Hood farm, who weighs at II
months go lbs, and won first prize as
best boar OF any age at the New England
Fair, 1896 the only place where he was ex-
hibited in competition. We think Mr..
Clifford will get great results from this
combination, and he has used good judg
ment in his selection.

Iramps are Getting DANGEROUS.

Thursday a!ght al few minutes
past the midnight hour George Simp-
son, q special policeman. who lives in
q he vicinity Of the Maine Central sta
ton. had his atteation attracted to
the action Of four men in the premises
Of Prof. Taylor Of College avenue. Ii
was Eoticcd that one man cautiously
approached the house while the other
three were distributed up and down the
street. and whenever anyone was seen
approaching from one direction or the
other the man who made the discovery
would rap on a tree with a stick and
the man near the house would run
back, This was repeated several times
as pedestrians would appear. Finally
when matters got to be as interesting
as Mr. Simpson cared to have them.
that officer rushed around the buildings
and captured one of the men. The
others Of course got away and they
Nere seen going in the direction of the
freight yard. Officer Simpson took his
man To the police station and locked
him up and then accompanied by
Deputy Marshal Call and several citi-
zens went back and searched the tracks
of the railroad yard. but no one was
found there. Friday morning the man
who had been locked up was allowed
to go. The residents of the neighbor-
hood of the Maine Central yard report
the tramps as getting to be very numer-
Gus and insolent. Their demands for
food are not always couched in the
most pleasant terms and many house
wives regard their presence with fear
and many would like to have police of
ficers stationed in that vicinity.
