I" Ny Friend from india"

Many came from distance to see 'My
Friend from India at the opera house last
evening, considerable part Of the large
audience present being from out of town,
and apparently satisfied that the gentleman
in question was worth going good ways
to see.
The play was an exceedingly amusing
one, pleasingly free from local hits. and
called for clever acting on the part OF Wal
ter E. Perkins, who appeared in the title
role and enacted mirror scene that was
triumph of art. He was supported by
good company, Of which Fred Mower as
the retired pork packer from Kansas City,
and John Terriss as his son, were perhaps
the greater lights, though Miss Kenyon
Bishop, as the German serving maid, was
star of no little magnitude.
On the whole those who occasionally en-
joy an evening of genuine amusement
should early make the acquaintance of

M. Thompson of Fitzwilliam, N. H., as
sisted by Edward Stapleton and George
Edwards, raided Piclett's saloon, Riley's
saloon, Brennan's saloon, the Walpole

At the Walpole House quite a quantity
of liquor was found in horse barn. One

the horse in corner and tore up the floor,
disclosing place about ten feet long and
three or four feet deep. The sides were
boarded up and the top was covered over
with straw and sand, and in this receptacle
were found Is sealed bottles, two-galon jug
of gin, barrel of whiskey, 20 gallons OF
rum and ten-gallon keg of wine. In the
wood-shed, hidden in pile of wood, were
two kegs of beer. All of the above was
forfeited.
At all the other places beer only was
found.
The offenders came before Justice Gaia
lane yesterday afternoon and, pleading not
guilty, were bound over to appear at the
April term of the county court.
Thomas Donegan responded for Pickett's
saloon, William Brockway for Brernan's
saloon, Michael Murphy for the Riverside
hotel, Bartholomew Brady for Riley's
saloon, and Stephen Tyrrell for the Wal

Since the bridge was condemned several
months ago, some of the villagers, who have
been in the habit of crossing on their rs
pound vehicles. have slackened their pace
and crossed the bridge with fear and trem-
bling, not knowing whether they would reach
the other side, or be compelled to change
their means of locomotive, from riding to
swimming, now if any such may chance to
see these lines we hope their fears will soon
be allayed. Last Monday the men who are
working on the new bridge, got large stone,
so large that they were curious to know the
weight of it; so they took it to the large
scales outside of Mr.. Edson's shop and to
their amazement found it was too heavy for
the scales, they then proceeded to take it
across the old bridge and found it was not
too heavy for that. Now we feel safe in re-
commanding the old bridge to the travelling
public, at any rate for light weights.
