On Sunday last the good people of this
place were thrown into state of no little
excitement by the capture and escape of
forger. The crime of forgery is some
times punished even in Corinth. The
| facts of the case appear to be as follows ::
Some weeks ago a fine appearing young
man calling himself b. l.. Emerson and
claiming to be an agent of seed firm in
Brattleboro came to town and made his
home at the house of George Sleeper. All
went well for time but he fell in love
with daughter of Mr.. Sleeper and in the
end things did not go smoothly on Emer-
son did not want to get married and LETT
town. The young lady went to Concord,
N. II. 1t soon came out that Emerson was
not an agent of the Brattleboro Company
and that he was acting under a false
agency and had used the name of W.T..
Dickinson to obtain an outfit and was
sending in orders to the company in the
name of Mr.. Dickinson. The case was
given to States Attorney Darling on Sat
urday and on Sunday he sent Sheriff
whitney of Chelsea and Thomas Dearborn
in pursuit of the gentleman. They came
up with the game at East Topsham and
took him in all right. Emerson was as
quiet as a lamb The three started for
Chelsea and in passing through Corinth
made a stop at Sleeper's to summons him
to appear at Chelsea. The sheriff got out
of the wagon and with Mr.Sleeper started
for the house of Mr.. Webster to summons
him, leaving Dearborn to look after Emer
son. As soon as the sheriff was gone EN-
erson asked permission to get out of the
wagon and step out for short distance.
This request Dearborn incautiously grant
ed No sooner out than he was gone.
The alarm was given and number start
ed in pursuit but Emerson proved more
than a match for them and kept well out
of the way. The sheriff and his men fired
on him four times without effect. There
were ten men in the pursuit and the chase
lasted some time At last Emerson gave
them the slip and the sheriff and his men
returned tired and wet. 1t was wild
and exciting chase, the flying fugitive,
the shouting pursuers, the driving, storm
and the discharge of fire arms made it an
exciting seen long to be remembered by
those engaged in it.
LATER.-'The prisoner that escaped from
the officers last Sunday was arrested at
Topsham about nine O'Clock Sunday even
ing. 1t is supposed he was passing through
this place for somewhere.

The Bible.

The extremists are wrong. The Bible
is not an infallible book, nor is it all
error. 1t is not an unholy book, nor is
it holy in every detail. 1t is not the
work of ignorant men, nor is it the on
ly work of God. 1t is not all legend and
myth. nor is it all true history and lit
erature. 1t is not tissue of falsehood,
nor is it absolute truth. 1t is not all the
absurd outpourings of illiterate men,
nor is it all the highest aspirations of
genius 1t is combination of both. 1t
is a symbol, an emblem, an aspiration
of theohild of earth after the Father in
heaven, an intense yearning of the hui
man soul after its Divine Maker. 1t con-
tains all the fallacies due to human an.
thorship, all the mistakes incidental to
human thought. The true lover of the
Bible will acknowledge this. 1t is the
enemy of the good book that demands
more. Rabbi J. Leonard Levy, Phila-

matters; has the best hotels and peo-
pie with less regard for the good things
provided for the appetite than any place
on the continent and is possessed of a
winter climate that would destroy tho
constitution of a Russian" That is a
