A PRETTY AFTERNOON WEDDING.

/ Leicester June 17.-Superintendent OF
Streets William A. Bell and Leroy Ed
wards of Woodville had a conference
at the selectmen's room last evening, in
regard to a lantern which Edwards re-
moved from beside a dangerous place
near Reuben Phillips residence in
GreenYille, one night about week ago.
A culvert was being built on the
highway, and on the night in question
Edwards drove up, stopped his team
about so feet beyond the excavation,
and then went back, picking up the
lantern and putting it in his team,
Phillips was seated on a wall by the
roadside, having an after-supper smoke
and he prevented Edwards from max
ing off with the lantern.
Mr.. Bell took Edwards in hand and
warned him not to repeat the occur
renee. At first he denied that he in
tended to steal the lantern, saying that
he was placing it in a position where
it would do more good, but afterwards
confessed to Bell that he would have
taken it home if Phillips had not pre-
vented
Several other town lanterns have
been stolen, and Edwards denies all
knowledge of the theft. The select
men will hold a meeting soon to decide
what action will be taken, if any.
