of suspicion by the police"

The county commissioners at their

preparation of seyenty-tiye dollars toward
replacing the bell in the Methodist
church, which is used for a court bell
A subscription paper has also been cir
culated among the citizens, and the sum
now pledged is not much short of what

a new one.
One of the evidences of the coming of
spring was the appearance of tue Ruoe
Band. which paraded the streets Thurs
day afternoon. This new feature in the
musical world is made up of divers and
Sundry young men and boys OF the town;
also of certain comets, clarionets, drums
and other instruments; also of overalls
for costume and paper banners for all
vertising purposes. IL is said that at
the sound of the martial music even the
halt and lame braced up and stepped in
time to the beat of the drum, that Mel
Cummings stopped saving wood for
three minutes, and that three crows,
which were approaching the village from
the southeast, wheeled about and made
back over their course, and when they
went out of sight were still flying.
The all-consuming hole in the water
pipes, which was making the principal
part of the drain on PenneSSeewaSSee
Lake BY way of the Norway Water Co. S
reservoir, was discovered in this village
last Monday. Ii was break in the SIX
inch main, not far from the house oil
John Bennett on Nichols Street. The
reason it had not been discovered carrier
was that the water from il ran under the
culvert and into the stream which drains
the bog south of Nichols Street, so that
for some indefinite period it had escap-
ed notice. How large a volume OF water
was running to waste can not be told,
but il was more than the reserve capac
ity of the pumps. Since the break was
repaired there has been no difficulty 10
maintaining the pressure, in spite OIL
several other small breaks, and it is not
necessary now to shut the pressure OH
during any part of the day.
