| Sheriff Carleton was in town Wednesday
Jan. 22nd, to search for goods stolen from
| the cottages Oh the shores of Lake Quanta-
! bacook. He visited the home of Zetham
Berry and found large amount of clothing,
fishing gear and goods usually kept in cot
| tages. He arrested Mr.. Berry, his son
Andrew, Granville Richards and Herbert
Hayes. The three last named were bound
over to the April term of court. The older
man, Berry, is out on bail. We are glad to
say this family of Berrys are newcomers
and not to be confounded with the esteemed
family of that name who have lived in this
town for more than seventy years.. The
social event of the season was the church
picture social at Mrs. A. L. McCorrison's
last Thursday evening. Milbury Hunt was
the champion guesser--guessing forty of the
forty-four pictures of ''ye olden time" ex-
hbited. 'sNo Creeds in Heaven" was well

CONFINEMENT.
| As little bird flew DER our village,
| Across the meadows and fields OF tllage
| | caught the burden of his happy song
| Cheer up, cheer up, winter Will not be long.
Soon spring will come with hurrying feet,
| Even now robins walt her coming To greet )
Her warm breath will break the rivers
| chain
| And make all nature z lad again.

To give grand concert the first warm
| night
The bopulinks practice brand new tune
! To sing right here the first OF June.
" hat if the cold winds wildly blow
| And fields are piled with drifts OF snow,
Winter brings many d joy and pleasure.
| How our hearts beat in quickest measure
Keeping time to the sleigh bells jingle,
| Even though with cold our fingers Jingle,
| When without wildly RACES the snow storm
| sit by my tireside coy and warm
| While at nv feet on the braided hearth mat
Dreams and dozes the family pet cat.
| While city friends to their clubs are flock
ing
| read, sew, or darn my brothers stockings.
They must 20 to whist club at just three,
| Then they are due at d five O'Clock tea.

While by window dishes am washing.
To the northward just turn mine eyes

While for their rights women plead and
sputter
I stay at home to stamp the butter.
Now in business circles money panics
bother
| bake or sweep and daily care for mother
| AS westward through my glasses peerlng
think the financial fog is clearing.
