who stole the squashes!

Lawyers II. G. Barber and G. c. Fits
were in Jamaica Tuesday 10 try an inter
esting case involving 1000 pounds Of
squashes and Is head of cabbages. The
parties in the case were Lewis Savage,
plaintiff, and Mr.. and Mrs. Esley Howe,
defendants. The action was for trespass
upon personal property. The plaintiff
testified that on Aug. he left home for a
visit, returning Sept. %. During his alb
sence his squash and cabbage field had
been devastated. Judson Rawson, wit
ness for the plaintiff, averred that about
o'clock on Sept. Is, as he was passing
near the squash field he saw two persons
therein and being curious to know who
they were he approached the field stealth
lily in the rear of some bushes. When
within few rods of the field he saw Mr.
and Mrs. Howe in a STOPPING posture and
carrying a bran sack, into which they
were putting something which they took
from among the vines. A Mrs. Rawson
testified that about noon one day she saw
Mr.. and Mrs. Howe start from their house
with a bag and a basket and 60 toward the
squash field. A Mrs. Stark testified that
she saw two persons going in the direc-
ton of Savage's fields and being unable to
identify them with the naked eve she
brought into requisition her field glass, by
the u.e of which she plainly saw Mr.. and
Mrs. Howe carrying bag and basket
The attorney for the defendants claimed
to be able TO prove an alibi showing that
the defendants could not have been in the
field at the time stated, but that the per-
sons who were seen going toward the
fields were Titus Howe and maid. The
maid testified that they were in the fields
about o'clock on that day, but that they
did not carry bag or basket. The trial
of the case lasted until late at night, when
it went to jury, consisting of F. White,
Wales Cheney, Z. F. Russell, Z. NJ. Skin
ner, Myron johnson and w. Willard. The
jury returned a verdict of not guilty, after
being out an hour. The plaintiff could
not take an appeal as the ad damnum in
the writ was only $50.

"OUR EAST INDIA MINE
Lecture at the Baptist Church Wednes-
day Evening by Mrs. WtII Carleton.

Mrs. Will Carleton, wife of the well.
known poet, spoke Interestingly to the
young women of the Baptist church We'd
nesday evening upon the work OF the
Farther Light society, taking for her
subject "Our East India Mine The so
ciety in whose interests Mrs. Carleton Ia
bors was organized in Brooklyn, v Y,
about six years ago, and today it has over
500 local circles. 1t was organized be-
cause of the undeveloped mine of heart
and brain power among Christian young
women and TO open means of communi-
cation between the abundant supply Oh
the one hand and the dire need on the
other. A course of study is prescribed By
the society with view TO broadening the
mind and heart of young women and TO
teaching them to be systematic in their
work and in their giving.
Mrs. Carleton began her talk by quot
ing Andrew Fuller, the Baptist theologian
who said: There is a gold mine in India,
but 1t seems almost as deep as the centre
of the earth. Who will venture TO explore
it?" and the reply of William Carey: Il
will go down, but you must hold the ropes.
She then gave description of her visi; 10
a mine in Montana, drawing some inter-
esting lessons therefrom.
This great East India mine to which
Andrew Fuller referred over 100 years ago
has been worked to greater or less effect
ever since, still the vast mine, with its in
mense soul treasures, has not all been ex-
plOred and brought to light, or rather the
light has not been carried to all of the
dark places.
at cannot be disputed that the great
mine of wealth, feeling and thought in
the hearts of our girls has been only par
italy utilized. The future of our foreign
missionary societies depends upon these
girls" 1t was Mrs. Cartoons purpose to
organize Farther Light circle IN Bratile-
boro, but it was not attempted, owing to
the heavy rain and the consequent small
audience. The young women themselves
may organize a circle, however. While in
Brattleborc, Mrs. Carleton was the guest Of
her cousin, Mrs. A. r. Harris.

SUNSHINE OF PARADISE ALLEY. ,
DtnmHn ThOmpsOn's Play the Attrac-
ton at the Auditorium This Evening.

l. is impossible to analyze the elements
of success in the new entertainment which
Denman Thompson produced two years
ago in New York for the first time" The
Sunshine OF Paradise Alley'-which comes
to the Auditorium tonight, and it is diff
cult TO describe the pleasure it affords.
The principal element of success is the
beartiness with which it is presented by
the excellent company; laughter is never
forced and 1t is never courted by an APP
proach to vulgsrity, but is won by appeals
TO that love for fun which is deeply in
grained in the Irish character. The com
pany seen to enter completely into the
fun Of the thing, and to enjoy it as much
as the audience. Their spirit is unfagging
and their perception Of the possibilities of
every position complete. If it be true
that good, hearty laugh saves man a
doctors bill, The Sunshine of Paradise
Alley" will enable every play goer TO add
a long list of credits to his medicine &C
count. "The Sunshine Of Paradise A ley
promises to follow closely in the footsteps
of The Old Homestead, and is destined
to repeat the wonderful history of that
piece. The famous Boston Verdi ladies'
quartet will be heard in a new roper
toire of melodi S, and the Acme male quar-
tet, new this season, will also appear.

INSTRUMENTATION ALLEGED.

Deputy Sheriff F. w. Mcclure served
papers this week upon one A. G.. Hunt.
representing the New England Magazine
company in a case of some 20 citizens OF
st. Adams, including Felix McGettrick,
States Attorney McFeeters and others,
against the magazine company.
1t appears that Hunt went to ST. AL
bans a year or so ago and canvassed for a
book to be published later, which was to
be called men of Progress" and to con-
sist of photographs and biographies of
prominent Vermonters. He represented
to the leading citizens that the sketches
were TO be written by Col. G. G. Benedict
of Burlington.
He induced 20 St. Adams citizens to
sign written contract agreeing TO take
the book, and he agreed that their own
pictures and sketches of their lives should
appear in the book. The contract price
of the book was $3S The delivery of the
book was begun few days ago, but it did
not meet the approval of the appointment
Nermonters," and they Immediately
brought bill in chancery alleging that
the book was small and insight icant, that
Col. Benedict had nothing TO do with it,
and petitiouing Judge Tyler for an injunc-
tion restraining the magazine company
from harassing them with suits. They
also asked Judge Tyler TO order that the
contracts be delivered to the clerk OF the
franklin county court. Judge Tyler grant
ed the order, and the papers were sent to
Mr.. Mcclure to serve. Mr.. Mcclure found
Hunt at the Brooks House and secured
the contracts. The magazine company
claims that there was no misrepresenta.
ton, and they will fight the matter to the
end.
