The Dog Poisoner Getting in His
 Work in This Place.

Ia iS. 3t /
 Some person ,or persons. are en- gagged III mean .contemptible prac- ice, practice which, if they are de- tected at, will merit for them a severe punishment. The practice to which reference is made, is the poisoning of dogs. As q result Of this dastartlly act; five dogs are said to have been poisoned yesterday morning. The dogs are as follows: A valuable fox terrier belonging to Mr. Rowland. one of the parties of the Rowland lS Ber- becker Co. It is cared for by T. E. Mcconnell A fine New Foundland owned by Edward Ford, bull terrier, of Henry Willets, foreman at the American Pin Co. It is one of the best of it's kind in the town. A valu- able dog owned by Hugh Byrnes Is the fourth on the list. 1t is said that the splendid English setter of r. F. Me Cornell, a breeder of high class dogs, is also q victim of the contelnptibIe act. Though the owners live far apart, each dog shows the same symptoms From this it would appear that the same person, or persons, administer the poison to each of the dogs What pleasure or delight they find in per ,s forming such tricks on dumb beasts, the average person cannot imagine It is an old trick which now and then pops out. All the residents Of this place unite in condemning the act and it is safe to say that, if the guilty parties are discovered, proper punish ment will be meted out to them
 The Pagan Brothers have their men and teams all ready to commence work on the macadam road as soon as the weather permits. The teams are kept in the barn in the rear of St. MichaePs chapel.
 There is little dissatisfaction with the dropping of the Watervllle Base ball team from the City Amateur league and the substituting of Oak vile in it's place. This place is noted for the serenity and quietness of it's Sundays X number of the residents would object to the playing of games on Sunday, as they would attract large crowds. and disturb the peaceful ness of the day. It was therefore deemed best to withdraw from the league and consequently no i'll feelings would be created among the residents.
 The attachment, which was placed on the property of Miles Lorenzo as q result of d suit instituted against him by David Garrigus, the carrige maker, has been removed. A settlement was reached yesterday by which Lorenzo paid to Garrigus the sum of $9. Lo- renzo claimed that Garrigus owed him q bill and that he would not settle un- less this bill was paid. After q short consultation the above agreement, which was satisfactory to both parties, was reached.
 Considering the inclemency of the weather, a fair crowd was present at the entertainment and supper which was held at Parish hall last evening under the auspices of the Young Peoples society of St. Paul's Episcopal church. Of course there were many persons who remained away who would, under more favorable condi- tions, have been present. The sup per. which was served from 5:3O to S:3o, was great attraction. After supper had been served to all, an en- tertainment was rendered. Recitations by James Bride showed that he was an eiocutionist of no little ability, while the readings by E. E. Bacon were de Iightful. A violin solo by Master Wolff. was of quality which presages a bright future for this young violinist.
