When the trade was made, he tied his horse to a post, the “Smartee” sneaked around thinking he was not observed, and poured a poisonous drug on the horse’s tail which made the poor animal kick fearfully for pain. Their scheme was to purchase the animal again for a small sum and thus cheat the drunken farmer. We reported the same to Supt.

He was brought before Justice WIRTH, and fined $3.00 and costs. ~~~~~~~~~~~ THE COUNTY POOR FARM At the last special meeting of the County Board of Supervisors held on the 27th day of last month, it was considered doubtful whether the present town poor system could be abolished without a notice to that effect in the call for a meeting; hence the following was adopted by said board: WHEREAS, It is doubtful whether this Board can abolish the present town system of keeping the poor and adopt in place thereof the county system, without a proper notice thereof, specifying the object of the meeting; and WHEREAS, The new County Board will be elected next week, we would recommend to the new board to take further action in the matter at a special meeting to be called for that purpose, and that all reports and papers relating to the matter be filed in the Clerk’s office for future use, and that the board will now adjourn sine die. ~~~~~~~~~~~ GRAFTON Bluebirds are making their appearance.
