A LITTLE OLD KEY.
The Story Of Mysterious Disappearance and
Return,

Last April key was lost to little
old tin trunk containing valuable pa
pers belonging to an Augusta family.
The trunk was always kept in one place.
and the key supposed to be. But it
disappeared and during a whole month
was searched for. Every kew that
might fit, that could be found or bor-
rowed was tried, but to no purpose.
At last the trunk had to be opened
and was sent down town where kew
was filed to fit it. Since then every
room in the house has been swept and
cleaned in every corner, and the kew
all the time borne in mind, and it was
at last decided that it had been shak-
en- out the window on some mat or
bureau scarf. and gathered IN with
the cut grass, and so finally lost
There is a carpet sweeper in the
house which is used nearly every dav.
and emptied once week, or oftener,
the brushes taken out and the whole
thing turned upside down. A day or
two ago the sweeper was used in the
middle of one or two rooms: it was the
day to empty it and as it was turned
over the very first thing that appeared
was that little old key, looking lust
the same as ever. The family has
never believed in the reconsideration of
souls but it thinks now that it NAV be
true of little things like keys. for the
only explanation of the disappearance
and appearance Of this one seems to
be that it has been changed into some
thing else all summer, but didn't have
as good time as it expected to and
so decided to come back and be lust
the same little old key once more.

Cobbosseecontee Bass FISHING.

John Merrill, the Cobbossee guide
was, one day this week. making
some remarks that it would be well
for all fishermen to consider. While
dant in the lake this season, he attri-
buted it to the diminishing of the
black bass, and when asked the cause
of the decrease in numbers Of the bass,
he said the fly-fishing was the cause
of it largely. He then went on to say
that Boston fishermen generally threw
back the small bass but the local
fishermen would throw them in the
boat in order to count as so many bass
caught, and he had seen boats with
heaps of these little bass which were
of no account as food. He also re-
marked. that each of these small ones
might become a fOur-pounder if they
had been thrown back into the lake
There is no doubt that this has been a
great mistake of many fishermen who
are in this way killing the goose
that lays the golden egg" This veter-
an guide expressed his confidence in
| the bright future of Cobbossee
as a fisherman's paradise though al
the present time it may be somewhat
overshadowed by the records of Great
pond and other famous lakes.

CATTLE CARS OveRcROWDEO.
Deputy Agent Dyer Of N. S. S. P. A. Admins.
tiers Deserved Rebuke to Eastern Drovers.

Deputy Agent Dyer of the NJ. S. S. p.
A. visited the railroad yard last night
to look over the cattle cars that came
Brighton market. He found several
that were somewhat overcrowded and
took possession of them.
Yardmaster Rounds appeared on the
scene and after a joint conference in
which all hands participated it was
decided to let the cattle go through
after Mr.. Dyer had given some of the
drovers talking to that they will not
forget for a long time.
1t is understood that some of the
drovers have been growing a trifle
careless as to the loading of cars and
that Agent Dyer has had orders to
break the custom up. This is something
that has to be done about once in so
often and generally somebody has to
go to court for it. If last evening 5
proceedings suffice without legal pro-
ceedings it will add one more to the
long list Of victories of the ex-alder-
man.-Portland Argus.
This, condition of affairs has been
manifest for some time but with the
rebuke of Agent Dyer it will probably
cease. The drovers from the eastern
part of the State load as many cattle
into the cars as possible and there has
hardly been a train for some months
but has had cars containing more cat
tie than should have been placed in it.

INNOCENT As 4 LAMB.
George SpauIding a Most InoHensive Citizen
So He Says-PoIice Court.

Three offenders appeared before
Judge Andrews at the bar of justice in
the Augusta municipal court Tuesday
morning. They all had their hats in
their hands and had that weary ex-
preston under their eyes which be-
tokens a night, or possibly a day, of
looking at the wine when it is red.
Frank Billedeau of this city. was
fined $40 and costs and being unable to
pay has gone to board with Mr.. Nc
Fadden at Sc Court street. Joseph
Marshall was not given chance to tell
whether he had any money or not for
the judge decided Mr. McFadden
needed another boarder for at least 90
days. Marshall accepted the invitation
TO have nice suit of striped trousers
and good board furnished him for that
length of time.
George f. Spaulding of South Gardi-
ner, was the most innocent looking
prisoner ever seen. He told the judge
he was an exemplary citizen. He
never became intoxicated, never spoke
to anybody on the street, he did not
know or insulted ladies as many men
do when they have been drinking. He
is the best citizen of Maine, if his
| word can be believed
Marshal Morse had an idea that the
fellow was stretching the truth a lit
tie. and incidentally trying to stretch
the necks of the judge and himself so
! he sent for Officer Frank Chase. Mr.
Chase had an entirely different story
to tell, and the innocent look departed
from Spaulding's face and was re-
placed by a look of hatred. Mr.. Chase
| told how this good citizen was on Sand
Hill, Monday afternoon, very much
| intoxicated. yelling to everybody he
passed and insulting ladies. The judge
decided that Mr.. Chase was to be be-
leved and fined Spaulding s. and costs
and in default of payment he was COM
| mitted.
The attention of the court was taken
up, last evening, with another of those
! family quarrels from Sand Hill. A lit
tie boy named Piby York was the pris-
oner and he was accused of throwing
a stone at another French boy. Both
| boys are about or 10 years old and
it was nothing more than a children's
quarrel. After hearing the woes of
each family Judge Andrews decided
that the best way to settle the case
was to send both parties to Father
| Hamel to adjust it.

New City Records Gard Index.

The order has been placed for the
new card system Of recording births.
deaths, and marriages in the city
clerks office. The order calls for a
cabinet and SO 900 cards The name of
the bride is to be recorded at the top
of a separate card, as well as that of
the groom, so that a person will not
have to know whom a woman married
to find the record of marriage At the
same time an index to the II books of
city records will also be made. These
books contain the records of the city
government. and as it has been almost
an impossibility to find the record OF
any act of the city fathers, the new
system will be a great convenience as
it will be possible to at once locate the
act of any city government meeting.
