Gen. Clapp has not stored vast amount

An interesting anecdote which serves
to illustrate the huInor which claims a
prominent place in the character of Gen.
Clapp, is told of him when he was a lad
in his teens. He was very popular among
the boys, but was not the most gra e eul
lad in his town. He ventured a bit of
stage life by entering home talent COM
pany that gave periodical performan es

AS AN AMATEUR ACTOR.
In the first play the part assigned to
young Clapp, whose experience as an
actor had peen quite too br1ef to entitls
him to the lading role, required him to
make only one appearance on the stage
during the evening. And on that oc-
casion all he was required to DO was to
present bundle to the leading man and
say: Jones sent this to you
Young Clapp was ambitious like all the
other members of this company and did
not relish the idea of but one appearance
before the glistening footlights on that,
his first evening. He determined that the
halo of glory which was promised to the
leading man, should not fade away with
out shedding some of it's brilliancy upon
him, so he put up a job which worked

Fifteen thousand pounds of butter

ly been sent out in a single day, but
dairying is being carried on more eX-
tensively now. There is no creamery
in Miller. the butter being shipped by
the merchants. and by the farmers
themselves, most of whom have cream
s~eparators and make butter equal to
that manufactured at a creamery. The
amoun shipped from Miller represents
only a small portion OF that made in
the county. There is a good creamery
at st Lawrence, only two miles east,
and large shipments are sent East from
there. The grass seems 10 be just right
to produce u good quality.
Rec Heights, a snug little town about
twelve miles west from Miller. ships a
large amount each week, and High
more, twenty-five miles west. is nearly
equal TO Miller as a shipper, and Blunt

Terrible things are reported OF the
manner in which this noble prisoner,

was treated by his jailer and e&ecu-

materials, and afterward, when Cap
tain Hale had been furnished them by

never received, this statement may be
