REMARKABLE TOWNS.
Ono In England That IN Made OF Railway
Carriages.

One In England That IL Made OF HALLWAY
Carriages.
Scattered throughout tho area OF
Great Britain are numerous towns and
villages OF curious character. Ono
large village actually consists Of old
railway carriages, even the little mis-.
sion chapel being built out of four large
horse trucks Another village, with a
population Of ], 100 and ratablo value
of GS, 600, has neither church, chapel
nor school, the only public edifce being
pillar letter box.
Villages with single inhabitant arc
not unknown. At Skiddaw, in Cumber-
land, there is solitary householder,
who cannot vote because there is no
overseer to prepare n voters list and no
church or other public building on
which TO publish one, while the only
ratepayer in a certain rural Northum-
berland parish has recently declined to
bear the expense Of repairing road be.
cause he considers it quite good enough
for himself.
In the isle Of Ely there is little
parish which has been somewhat con-
temptuously described as "a portion of
land, with three or four houses and per
haps IL inhabitants. This place has
no roads at all and Is consequently put
to no expense in keeping them in repair.
As matter of fact, there arc no OK
penses of any kind and no rates.
One Of the most remarkable villages
in this country is Kempton, near Bed
ford, which is seven miles long and ex.
tremely struggling. To walk from one
end Of the village to the other occupies
two hours.
Sometimes whole villages will prac-
tically disappear. A little Shropshire
village has gradually sunk, until now
it Ia almost out Of sight. Ii Ii built on
a disused coal pit, aud the sinking goes
on steadily every year Now and then
a lettering house is propped up to keep
IL standing. but in spite OF all precau.
tions buildings are constantly falling to
the ground, aud in course Of time doubt
less nothing will be left but a few
bricks to mark the spot where village
once stood.
There are plenty Of deserted villages
throughout the country. A diversion Of
trade into other channels liz sometimes
sufficient to produce this effect. Not
many years ago the proprietors Of an
iron works at townlet near Sheffield,
being unable to obtain certain conces.
sions from railway company, removed
their works. Shortly afterward half the
place was to let, and tho windows Of
many Of the houses were boarded up. -

himself has a gold mine that is pay

fortune. He mentions mine right
near him that has just been opened
and which has furnished ore that as
says $40, 900 to the ton. Why isn't
that better than the Klondike?
This Thursday afternoon the klon-
dixie expedition may appear on our
streets with their dogs and in fun uni
form. The klondike masquerade
dance takes place Thursday night and
the boys are discussing the advisable
ity of a parade before the dance, just
to see how the dogs perform in line.
We hope they will parade, as every
body is anxious to see how the boys
are " hooked up for the long jour
ney before them. This thing of half n
hundred good men leaving us for the
frozen north has long since ceased to
be u laughing matter, and people

larry, before Justice Hooper and were
each sentenced by Judge Clementson

confinement. The act was committed
,on the premises of the Darlington

the chicken house, entered and carried
off four Plymouth Rock fowls. The
breaking into the building constituted
the act of burglary and sentence
imposed is the lightest the law permits
for the offence. Upon being notified
of the depreciation Marshal Morgan
began search and followed the
tracks of two men across the race
bridge, and down the river and up the
alley in the rear of the building in
which Lovelace lived. He was guided
not only by the tracks, but by an
occasional chicken feather on the
snow. A search warrant was proeur-
ed, the house searched aud three of
the birds found, with their feathers
still on, one of which was positively
identified. Lovelace and Pete Thor
eson, who made his home with Love
lace, were arrested. Dick Walkey
who was seen around the Lovelace
premises that night, was also arrest
ed. Walkey confessed and plead
guilty on Friday. On Monday Love
lace did likewise. Thoreson admitted
of being accessory and was given
forty days in the bastile de Bennet.
