ferred from Holland county to Wind
ham county. 1.-THE dispute was over
the ownership of the bed of a brook,
which both parties claim to own.

to restrain the Kingsbury people from
occupying the land, and the hearing
before Judge Reed was on an appli-
cation to have the injunction made
permanent. - Judge Reed decided
in favor of the defendants, basing his
decision upon the fact that Mr.. Kings
bury had occupied the land or brook

fore Mr.. Mason died.

A BOttOmlesN Pit.

There is a bottomless pit in the noun
tains Of Hualalai, back Of Kailua, in
the Hawaiian Islands. It Is about four
feet in diameter. The pit Is peculiar
from the fact that it sucks in the air
with remarkable force. Pieces Of pa
per placed over the mouth do not float
gently down, but are suddenly drawn
in and disappear with startling rapid
ty. The air rushing into the pit can be
distinctly felt by people standing on
the edge. Strange sounds are heard
also. Every night the inhabitants Of
the locality distinctly hear noise sim
liar to the blowing Of deep steamship
whistle. The noise is heard for about
6ve seconds and then subsidies for q
space Of about ten minutes and then
resumes for another five seconds.

The Old Time ParlOr.

The days of the parlor are fast going.
There was once a time when every
family, no matter how poor, had its
parlor. And generally the parlor was
q most useless place, but it was the
pride Of the housewife. The Observant
Citizen remembers some time ago when
the lady Of the house insisted that he
should see her parlor." Her husband
smiled good naturally, and they both
led the way to a big front room which
was locked. The door was unlocked,
and the parlor got its first fresh air in
months. The little family had expend-
ed much money on the parlOr. Every
thing was new but the stuffed birds
under glass cases. The design Of the
carpet was wonderful In that 1t consist
ed Of bright red roses. One felt like
stepping into bed Of flames. A horse
shoe sofa, very erect, was the principal
article Of furniture, while at the win
dows were the stiffest lace curtains you
ever saw. The room had a musty
smell due to long confined air. 1t was
"luxury imprisoned" on small scale
and the finest example Of the old time
useless parlor.-Manchester Union.

The man paid no attention, but went

up with an air of quiet defiance.
"You miserable billstickery' said
Blackstone, his mannerism coming out
very pointedly with his temper. III you

Whereupon the man, quietly making
a closing dab at the poster, said, "I'll
