 THE JUDGE, THE DEPUTY, AN OFFENDER.
 At last there has been something do- ing in Judge Gruber's court, although it was not a marriage ceremony. The judge says the Falls Village boys are slow at taking hints, can't pluck up courage to pop the question or else they require a remarkably long time to mediate on whether they had better do 1t or whether they hadn't better do 1t. But we won't discuss this here, as matrimony is far removed from the case in question. A pilgrim from Lime Rock way journeyed to the north and finally stopped here one day last week. He became befuddled, never mind how, where or why, and started ont to paint the town gorgeous vermillion. Deputy Sheriff Hornbeek laid hands upon the offender and escort ed him before the judge, who, with dig nifty becoming his station, listened grave ly to the charge, then consulted his elab- crate library of law works to find par allel case. As there didn't appear to be a record of a case where judge was try ing his maiden case immediately follow ing deputy sheriff's maiden arrest, it was difficult matter to know whether to sentence the prisoner to hang by the thumbs to persinmon tree or to sen tence him to be electrocuted. therefore he decided upon happy medium and fined him $2 and costs, total $9.01, and required him to take solemn obligation that he would never visit Falls Village again. He took it. He also paid $9.0l.
