The DEVILS Auction" at the
auditorium last evening brought out
a full house, large number taking
advantage of the special train on the
Genesee branch. The performance
itself is interesting because of the
marvellous mechanical effects and
the beautiful scenery, it being the
best staged production ever seen at
the auditorium. The lack of plot
or dramatic interest was offset by
these spectacular features. The
funny business was a little overdone
at times, and couldb pruned down
without hurting the show. The
ballet was something new here,
with sprightly broilers in the back
row, and statuesque beauties in the
front row.
Richardson's store is advertis-
ing big sale, it being proposed to
close out the stock within the next
two months, such of it as is not
sold in that time to be shipped to
Grangeville, to be incorporated in
the store there. The Grangeville
store is doing an immense business,
and requires the attention of Mr..
Richardson so that he has found it
necessary to return there. L. c.
Richardson will remain in charge
of the establishment here till its af-
fairs are closed, when he will go to
Grangeville. His family will re-
main here till the close of school
next spring.

Exhibits Wrong Spirit.

Yesterday morning in retiring from
the berth he has held for nearly gem
GRAFTON, Ex-City Clerk Louis Schilling
displayed a spirit which is anything.
but commendable in public official.
When his successor called to take
charge of the Office he refused to greet
or converse with him and did not vol
unteer any information in regard to
his books or records. On 1.-The con-
trary, a request of Pres. Eibner that
he assist Mr.. Bobleter in familiarizing
himself with the work met with q fiat
refusal and thus the new clerk was
slightly handicapped at the meeting
last night. AS an example of political
magnanimity, Mayor Silverson's act
in appointing Mr.. Schilling assessor
is worthy of the highest praise but,
judging by his recent actions, it is ex-
tremely doubtful if the recipient is
capable of appreciation.

A Curious Ferry.

Captain Hambro, while travelling
among the KAYAKS of Turkestan, dis
covered curious way Of taking a
heavily laden boat across broad riv-
err The method consisted in piling up
the boat as full as it would hold with
out sinking of all the persons and all
their baggage that it was desired to
take across. Then the boat was
launched There were no oars and no
sails. The motive power was supplied
by the horses, the cattle, the sheep and
the goats of the nomadic and pastoral
people swimming in front and along
side and SO by degrees that were far
more slow than they were sure towing
the boat to the other side. In one in
stance which Captain Hambro men
tons the river that a party crossed in
this manner was 200 yards wide.

An instance of an interested jury
man was reported not long ago. A jury
had been impaneled, when a man
stepped forward and explained that,
having been summoned to serve, he
wished to be allowed to do SO at once,
as he had to attend a funeral at dis
tant place In the latter portion Of the
week. A place was therefore made for
him in the jury box. The case was
tried, and owing to this mans obsti-
macy verdict of acquittal was Sc
cured. It was subsequently discovered
that the man had never been sum-
moned to serve at all and that the pris~
oner was his friend.-London Tit-Bits.
