and railroad conveniences there is no
better grounds in rural Maine than this

to the convenience of the public, as was
demonstrated in the rain of Saturday
afternoon

to the pauper settlement of Mrs Jewell.
After visiting several towns in Massa
chusetts and parts of Somerset Frank
lin and Waldo counties. these gentle
men became perfectly satisfied that
Mrs. Jewell's residence was in Skowhe-
gan. The case was prepared for trial
with minuteness of detail and the city
solicitor and overseers Of the poor have
had every confidence in the ultimate
result. The case would have been tried
in the September term of the superior
court. had not counsel for Skowhegan
acknowledged the settlement of Mrs.
Jewell The saving to the city of Au-

by the sums indicated above, as Mrs.
Jewell is more than likely to be long
lived and expensive charge.
Great credit is due to Messrs Leigh.

outcome of this case.
