The Lein Law.

A strong effort has been made in
the legielature to repeal the lien law
The opponents of the law hold that
it leads TO extravaganza on the part
of the tenant and to exsortion and
oppression ON the part of the mer-
chant They would therefore take
away from the tenant the right to
mortgage his crop before it is made
and from the merchant the right to
sell supplies on such security.
There is little doubt that the lien
law has worked great deal of mis-
chief. OF rather that it has been the
instrument of much mischief But it
is hard to zee what better means Can
be devised by which the poor man
can have credit and the merchant
can have security.
For the legislature to declare. as
the bill proposes, that all leins given
on crops after certain date shall be
null and void, is to declare that the
tenant is incapable of making con.
tract, and it seems to us that such
legislation will impose great hard,
ship on the very class it is intended
to benefit

IN REAL LIFE.
A Romance Connecting
Lives Of Two Nova SEQ
tians.

Leominster, Nov. ga romance with
the marriage of a couple is not an I'M
usual happening, but this town is not
often a party to one. Recently Jason H.
Mcpherson of Oxford, N. H, was mar
ried to Miss Cynthia NJ. Waterman of
this town, and now there comes to light
a romance that is interesting. When the
couple We're in their youth they lived
in the same little town in Nova Scotia,
went to school together and it was
taken for granted by the people that
they were sure to be married sooner or
later.
The young man, however, came to
the States later on, and as he got mar
ried few years later, he seemingly
forgot his first love and playmate of the
old days, His wife died, and in writing
to a friend of his here he told how lone
some life was to him, and the friend in
answering mentioned that the young
lady now in question was in this town.
AS a result came a. correspondence and
now the happy wedding that has united
them for life.
