and the way he got even:
In my bread and butter days
was a frequent and unhappy victim
OF what Shakespeare calls raging
tooth. A long siege with certain
molar had left me one early spring
day with a broken spirit and q
swollen face. My father had walked
the floor with me, and had groaned
with me, and had suffered in his
feelings and in his sympathies more
perhaps than had suffered in phys,
tcal way the patient himself.
He was going that morning to at.

at an angle rejecting the interior of
the room. The transom was of one
large pane of glass, with piece of
dark silk over the inside, making it
to all intents and purposes mirror.
I'm this mirror he had distinctly
seen the reflection of the figure of
the prisoner, Mary French, whom
he had known since her childhood.
She was standing at bureau or
dresser looking at and handling
some jewelry which had been left
there. After few moments he saw
her take in her hand breastpin of
gold and move away about her work
in the room; at least he could hear
her moving about sweeping, though
he could no longer see her, as che
had got where the glass did not re-
fleet her. The laundryman's son, a
lad of 16, testified to very nearly the
same facts, as he had been standing
by the side of his father.
The pin thus described as having
been taken was the. pin which was
lost, and the evidence seemed sure
to convict, but the magistrate was
very cautious. The laundryman tes-
titled further that he had not men,
toned it because he had not heard
of the robbery until I spoke of it
and he had not cared to make any
trouble at first because he supposed
the girl might have been only going
to put the pin in safe place.
''This kind Of testimony was, in
my opinion, good enough to convict
in any court, but his honor, the
squire, looked wise and refused to
admit it on the ground that the wit

DENMAN THoMPsoN's FIRST
His Earliest Appearance on the Stage Wa,
With q West Swanzey Club,

His Earliest Appearance on the Stage Was
With = West Swanzey Club.
One of the most treasured memen-
tos of Denman Thompson's long
and successful career on the stage is
programme of the first entertain
ment in which he appeared. Mr..
Thompson has the bill incased in an
oak frame, and he takes more pride
in showing it to his friends than any
of the costly souvenirs which he has
collected during the AZ years he has
been before the public. During the
call OLA Sentinel reporter upon Mr..
Thompson at his home in West
Swanzey a day or two ago the dis
tinguished actor exhibited the pre-
cious piece of paper with the remark
that no newspaper man had ever
seen it or written about it.
The bill is 61a by Tx inches in
size, was printed at The Sentinel Of
fee in Keene and aside from the
cast of characters reads: ,"Exhibi-
ton by the request of their numer-
GUS friends. The West Swanzey
Shakespeare club will give another
entertainment at the town hall,
Swanzey, on Tuesday, Dec. 10, 1850.
Doors open at O'Clock, p. m. Cur
tains rise at 61k. Tickets 1871 cents. :"
The first number was an orchestral
overture and then a song, Greet
ing Glee," by A. E. Bennett, now of
Keene, and others. Then came ma
tional drama in two acts, entitled
"Brazen Drum; or, The Yankee In
Poland" in which Mr.. Thompson
played the part of Calvin Cartwheel,
drum major in the "Vermount"
militia. "a carter and whole team
in the cause of Polish freedom. :"
After that came song, "Oh, Carry
Me Long, by A. E. Bennett and
others. "Therese, the Orphan of
Geneva, )" was the next offering, in
which Mr.. Thompson appeared as
the Count de Moroville. Then there
was another song by A. E. Bennett
and others and a fancy dance, Lucy
Long" by Mr.. Thompson, and an
other song by Mr.. Bennett.
The one act farce, 1.-The Omnibus;
or, A Convenient Distance, was the
next number, in which Mr.. Thomp-
son had the part of Pat Rooney. A
comic pantomime, Adventures of
Jack Jameson, closed the enter
tainment. The music was furnished
by Ramsdall's band, which consisted
of violin and melodeon. Among
the people who appeared with Mr..
Thompson at that time were Mrs
b. w. Leonard, now living in West
Swanzey; John Patch. roadmaster
of the Connecticut river division of
the Boston and Maine railroad; A.
E. Bennett, merchant of Keene;
Miss M. M. Thompson, Mr.. Thomp-
sons sister, now Mrs. Granger, who
lives in West Swanzey. The others
are all dead. D. j. Atwood, one of
the actors, known in the early days
as Dan Atwood, was for many years

where he was better known as the
mad tailor. "-Keene IN. H.) Sen

The Bacon Folly.
ne BttCUH EU9Iys
John Fiske, in the November Atlantic.

John Fiske, in the November Atlantic.
1t was inevitable, says DR. Fiske in the
November Atlantic that the Bacon folly
should proceed to commit suicide by piling
up extravangances By some methods one
can prove anything, and accordingly we
find writers busy in tracing Bacon's hand
in the writings OF Greene, Marlowe Stir
ley. Marston, Massinger, Middleton, and
Webster They are sure that he was the
author OF Montaigne's Essays, which were
afterward translated into what we have all
ways supposed to be the French original.
Mr. Donnelly believes that Bacon also wrote
Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy. Next
comes DR. Orville Owen, with new cipher.
which proves that Bacon was the son OF
Queen Elizabeth by Robert Dudley. and
that he was the author of the Faery
Queene and other poems attributed to Ed
mund Spenser. Finally we have Mr.. ]. Il.
Roe who does not mean to be outdone:
he asks us what we are to think Of the
notion that an ignorant tinker. like John
Bunyan, could have written the most per-
feet allegory in any language. Perish the
thought! Nobody but Bacon, could have
done it. OF course Bacon had been more
than fifty years in his grave when Pilgrim
Progress was published as Bunyans.
But your true Raconizer Is never stopped
BY tTifes Mr.. Roe assures us that Bacon
wrote that heavenly book as well - Robin
son Crusoe and the Tale OF a Tub; which
surely begins TO make him seem ubiquit-
Gus and everlasting. If things go on at
this rate we shall presently have religious
sect, holding as its first article of faith that
Francis Bacon created the heavens and the
earth in six days, and rested on the seventh
day.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
The communication in Tuesdays Journal

charging the correspondent from this place
with having falsely charged the anti-re-
movalists with fraud at the late county
scat removal election, is the talk
of the town. The charge that
the only fraud committed at the
election was in this city is amusing,
when in the same article he says that the
votes in the fourth, seventh and ninth pre-
cincts were honestly cast and counted, and
that the increase in the three precincts was
but thirty-three. The increase in the three
precincts over the November election was
sixty-three, not thirty three. He also says
special purpose and that the election held
decided the question and therefore the law
was null and VOID" The act clearly says
that whenever fifty freeholders petition the
Board OF County Commissioners to hold an
election, and put up a bond to pay the cost
of such election, the commissioners are
compelled to call such election, under for
feiture of their office. That another petit
ton will be presented at the next term is
an assured IacC Inc commissioners VIII
not dare to refuse an election, as The law
does not say that there shall be one or
one hundred, and the Supreme Court has
held the law valid. The remoValists intend
to put the officers through the mill lie they
attempt any foolshness this time.
The committee for the removalists issued
TWO cdTuS u the pubic lO-udy, thanking
their friends for the bold stand taken by
them in the past election and the other
card reading as follows:
"A card to those who were not with US
but whom we hope will be hereafter: Hav-
ing held an election and having Demon
strated to the people of Jackson county that
a large majority of our people desire the
removal Of the county seat from Browns
town to Seymour, and having been impor-
tuned by numerous citizens from ali over
the county to again enter the contest, we
ask all voters and citizens who voted
against the removal at the last election to
consider the question calmly and to reason
