The hired man when accused of flirting with the neighbors girl said "We talked quite a while, but not of love, only of cows and sensible things." Dkfaoto. VANDALISM RA IP ANT. Another outbreak of vandalism and crime tortk place in Sandyston on Fridity night May 19th. During that night two persona went into a 12 year old apple orchard belonging to Geo. E. Hursh, nnd with a aharp edged atone attempted to cnt off the bark, and girdle the trees. Finding this too difficult and noisy a meth od, they then used their jiocket knife, and thoroughly girdled 43 trees ; taking rings of bark from the trunks, some of which were six in ches iu width. Koine of these ring" of bark were hung in the trees, nnd others strewn upon the ground.The Oft tn e night evidently the snme two persons strewed nearly two quarts of corn, poisoned with -paris green, directly in front of the poultry hous es where aboufiiOO fowls range dui ly. The corn was found and gath ered np in time to prevent the hens getting enough to cause serious dam age. .Numerous tracks were maue and show that the shoes of one per son had pointed toes aud were ubout 10)- inches in length. The other wore a broad toed shoe scant ten in ches in length. Other measure ments were taken that are not giv en for obvious reasons. They cor respond with the shoes worn by par ties who do not live far away and the sitnilarty has been noted by sev- ral par.sjin. If they had washed their hands before starting home, the finger murks on the fences that they climbed would not have left the parig gfS,en trail that it did, al thoughtheirtraoka across the swamp nnd through the grove were very plain. It is evident when they start ed home they took the last drink in a piece of woods on the way, and smashed the bottle In the path. Pro fessional criminals seldom leave ho plain a trail, and if these should stoop ever so little when they walk tnd slobber when they bilk, or with a curb on, a ramrod np their back and eyes bent upon s crack, take an other drink in that grove, they ought to carry the bottle home with them as a memento of the crimes they haI been engaged in. Can H be pleasant for them to carry around with them a look of guilt that everyone can see, and a con- science thnt when sober must quake and trembU nt each rustle of a leaf? Familiarity with crime leaves its imprint on the face, as contact with criminals leaves it upon thn charact er, and few can conceal it, or are not eventually caught. One per sons who sympathizes with the perpetrators remarked a fewdays be fore "that the thing will not stop here, but there will be more of it," so evidently there is at least one otb er who helps plan such deeds, eveu if he takes no active" part therein. It is a pleasure to believe that with the exception of three or four per sons, tlio whole population heartily condemns such lawless acts. H.
