Executing a Death Sentence.

Prince Urussov writes in his Me
moirs Of a Russian Governor of an
acquaintance. one Won Rohren. a very
kindly man. who liked to tell some
times of his presence of mind and his
police ability as demonstrated on one
occas'-1 at his former post: He was
once called upon to be present at the
execution of a Jewish criminal. The
condemned man hung the required
number of minutes and was taken
down from the gallows, when the ply
sician was supposed to confirm his
death. But it appeared that they had
forgotten to III off the Jews long.
thick beard, thanks to which, although
the moose had deprived the ma of
consciousness. it had not killed him.
Imagine yourself in my position
said Rohren. THE doctor told me the
Jew would come back to life in five
minutes. What was / to do? To hang
him a second time held to be impos-
sfble. and yet | had to execute the
death sentence" But what did you
do. then?" ! asked and received the
memorable answer. II had him buried
quickly before he regained conscious
ness"

One evidence of the benefits of the "No lioense' system is the trans formation of our bar rooms into club rooms and reading rooms. To be sure, from force of habit the same people are seen passing in and out of the doors that were won't to go in and out when liquors were sold at these places, but perhaps it is only because of the force of habit.
 At the town meeting on Saturday it was voted to lay tax of 23 per cent, 1 } being for the purpose of de. fraying town expenses and paying interest on the debt, and per cent. to go toward reducing the debt. So that at last beginning is to be made on the work which should have com menoed years ago. The opposition to the movement was dissipated ny ex- cellent and sensible remarks made by E. 0. Pinney aud others. It was voted to abolish the Webber district, which for some years has had no sohoolllouse, the few children in it
 
 having been sent meanwhile to differ. ent districts, and it was also voted to renumber the school districts of the town from 1 up to l7, instead of from l to ! in tiie eat parish, and from to i in the west parish, which system makes trouble and confusion in the returns to the state board. The selectmen and the acting school visitor of the west parish. Rev. MT. Fitz, were made committee to carry out these votes, and to partition the Web Der districts among the adjoining dis. tricts. It was voted to locate sign post at the cross roads near Orson A. Richardson and to abolish the one near Palmer Martins. The pro. posed purchase of farm for the town poor was passed without action.
