One In q Thousand.

A notable instance in these days when
every man feels privileged to get all
that's coming to him, especially from
the public crib, has come to the atten-
tion of the Democrat A constable In
one of the Oxford County towns had
venires for jurors to serve. Formerly
constables received the sum of 81 so
without travel for serving each venire,
but the law has now been changed so as
to allow the constable travel.
This constable returned as his fees
the regular amount of $3.50 each on the
venires, but did not add any travel. He
said that he earns the regular fee the
easiest of any money he gets, and that
he had time enough in which to make
the service 80 that he was able to reach
the men in the course of his ordinary
business travel, so the travel didn't cost
him anything.
Owing to the modesty of the subject
of this paragraph his name is not men,
toned, but 1t would be interesting to
know how far one would have to travel
to meet his match.

young man he was the cause of most
melancholy and fatal accident. His ia
ther was Samuel Houghton, and at that
time was trader at Eocke's Mills. One
day Orlando came into the store with a
loaded gun, which discharged by the
hammer catching against something as
he entered the door, thus killing his lit
