added to by most of the successive
Norman monarchs.
This peninsula is 2S5 feet high, and
has suffered much from the erosion of
the waves. In 1890, the old chroniclers
say, the area of the castle yard was
so acres; now it is but II. There is
a moat on the landward side, with
walls and towers and a lofty Norman
keep, partly in ruins.
Near the landward end of the PENN
sula is the Church of st. Mary, occu.
plying the site of a Cistercian monas-
terry founded in 1893. This church,
which would be in line of German
shells in consequence of its imposing
and commanding position, was de-
stroyed by the castle guns during the
Commonwealth, when the Roundheads
besieged the Cavalier garrison. 1t was
afterward repaired.
Famed as Watering Place.
In 1920 Mrs. Farren, a resident of
the borough, discovered two mineral
springs near the shores of the South
bay-the semiprotected areas of water
on each side of the peninsula are
called the North bay and the South
bay. From this time dates the rise
OF Scarborough as a watering place.

Wedding Ring Faneies.

Fancy weaves the prettiest Of ideas
around the golden symbol that the
happy lover places upon the slender
finger of his beloved on the great day
of days.
Some of the old sayings are worth
remembering, for at heart most Of us
have a tinge of belief in fates and
fairies and the like.
II the ring should be taken OF after
the wedding service has been per-
formed, 1t is said that dire misfortune
will ensue. Probably the foundation
of this belief lay in the fact that the
ring. having been hallowed, should not
be removed for any reason.

FRENCH. CANADIAN LEAGUE
Sterts Petition Against Legislative Resolution Concerning Captain of Police

One hundred members of the French Canadian Social Advancement league have signed a petition to the legislature against the passage of a resolution, recently favorably reported by the committee that it came before for a hearing, providing that the office of captain of police in Putnam shall be held by an officer during good be- havior and that he shall not be re-
 moved without due cause. It is un- de1stood that those responsible for the petition will seek to have another hear ing on the resolution, which is in the form of an amendment to the city charter, that they may register Oppo- sition before the legislative committed Another suggestion heard is that, if the resolution is passed, it be with a ref erendum to the voters of Putnam, so that a majority of the latter would have to favor it before it could be- come effective.
 The sole intent of the bill was to take. the office of captain Of police out of politics. it is said. Under the pres ent system the captain of police comes up for reappointment by the common council every two years. It is not be- Ueved there will be any urgent effort to pass the resolution if there proves to be great oposition to it.

 The fifteenth annual ball of the Put nam fire department, the last of the big social events before the Lenten season, was held in Union hall Monday evening and was very much of 8. sue cess. Visiting fremen and ladies and many friends were present from sur rounding towns.
 This year the hall decorations were especially attractive, a new general idea being used. The national colors predominated in the bunting that was artistically arranged about the hall and there were pictures showing fire scenes and clever arrangement of electric lights. The stage was front ed with palms.
 William Murray prompted for the dance numbers on the programme that required his services, giving the usual satisfaction. Music was by the Car gill orchestra.

CITY TAX TOO HIGH.
Plea to Have s250 Sealed to $40 by
 Town of Woodstock.

q. Allen Hawkins, member of the water commission of the city of Put nam, and Judge Mahlon H. Geissler, counsel for the city. were at Woodstock MoRday forenoon to appear before the board of relief of that town to seek an abatement of the tax assessment that has been levied against the city of Putnam on the property of the wa ter department within the limits of the town of Woodstock. The property as- sessed includes a, dwelling, $10o; pump ing station. pumps and boiler. s2,600; 1SA acres of land, s2,6SO; all other tax able property of the water department in Woodstock, S13,o0O; a total of $1S,- 2S0.
 Judge Geissler, for the city. claimed an abatement of the tax on all the property excepting the 134 acres of land, this claim being based on a stat ute which provides that municipalities owning property in adjoining towns and used for public purposes are not liable to d tax, and that the land, as in this case, should be assessed as Of the value of improved agricultural land. The tax as now assessed, amounts to $250: as the city desires 1t abated it would amount to about $40.
 Judge Geissler filed a brief setting forth the city's position in the matter.
