A Trip to Watch Hill. Ki'iTuK Patriot:—We left Putnam last Friday for Watch Hill vta New 1 .oikion. on the steamer Bloch Island, with Captain Phelps in command. He will be remembered by your citizens as running the Pomfret street market, and the tlrsl man to run it to the satis faction of the public and profit to him self. The party consisted of Mrs Ham mond. Hr. Neil Macphaller, Miss Sara Holt, of New York, and Miss l.au ra Todd, of New York, formerly of Ohio—who followed in Joy s Bed Wing auto, both arriving al*out the same hour—a compliment to the machine and especially to the owner and driver, than whom no sujierlor can lie named. As all rooms in the Ocean House were occupied, we were given a suite in ••Ninigrel lAKlge," where we are com fortably housed in connecting rooms— parlor and hot and cold w ater baths. Saturday morning it #s- raining v ery hard, and while we arc but a blin k away, we had a carriage sent to take us to the hotel, iieing driven over the lawn to our very door, and when we reached the lawn of the hotel were dri ven up the broad asphalt walk over a IHirtion of the lawn to the steps at the main ent ranee. We informed Mr. Kolierts, the genial c!crk,ttiat there was but one thing lack ing. “Amt what may tlial la'.’" lie asked.. “Simply that you liao,t*oo, the income of which is to tie applied to assist w or thy Windham county young men in pursuit of their studies—is s|lending the season here with llis family. I,ieu* tenant (iovernor I,ake a,nd family are also here for the season.

With clams and lobsters, the great variety of lish fresh from tire waters adjoining, and bucklelierries, there Is I tile else to Ire said. All these we lime w ith much more.

A. H. Walch Hill, R. I July .1*. City Court—It n .httlf*, The first oast- taken ii|> by tlie court, Monday morning, was the adjourned ease of Na|*oleon Undo, charged w ith doing secular business on Sunday, and keeping o|nmi a shop and excising pro perty for sale contrary to law. Ilodo was the clerk in Mayhew's lunch room who was arrester I a vink ago Sunday.i I’ruseeuting Attorney Card stated that it had laen agreed between him self and counsel for the defendant that no evidence be put in, but that a state- meut la- made of the facts, lie said the place is a lime It room, hut that reg ular meals were served there, lie said lhal goods were sold al retail in a lunch room and that therefore the place was a shop within the meaning of the sin lute, hut it li is a restaurant il is not a shop. If a person goes Into a place and has food cooked for him il is a meal, lull If he only buys a piece of pie 1 claim Unit is not a substantial meal. I think lhal soda or other temperance drinks can l>e sold with a meal as well as U-e cream. Attorney J. K. Carpenter, who ap |erance drinks than to drive the peiiple lu \V«lMter, where llicy clace open on Hurulay ia or der cooked food ami regular meala, al though regular meala may not be nerv ed to all jiersoii*, If regular meala con atlluted the work of the day. If theae two are carried on aa the regular order of work, I see no objection to including a piece of pie or a trow I of crackera and milk, and I would add that concession provided those other two things are always present. Tha Prosecuting Attorney then asked if his honor considered it necessary to cover up goods that were ex|s>sed for saie. His honor replieil that when ci gars arid cigaretts were kept for sale as in other restaurant, lie thought they should be. The Attorney said he meant pies and food. His honor said he thought that was splitting hairs. II it is legitimate property, such as food. I think he can keep it in any proper place and al I though exposed to view he didn't think it a violation of the law. The only j I thing lie should object to was tilling I windows full of ttie different kinds of food that were for sale. Hut inside he didn’t see why we should go so far a* to cover it up so jieople couldn't -ee was then withdrawn. The case of Adolph Lcelair, charged with drunkenness, breach of the jwace and abusive language, was adjourned 1 to Tuesday morning in order to have important witnesses summoned The ca-o of Thom a- Vieau, charged with theft, was t!»e next case. A pita of not guilty vit entered 1V1« Hibeaull, an old itnllrinmi, testified that while in hack of Muire'a saloon he met Yleau, who a-ked him for a drink, ami u|wn Ivina refuted, Vieau grabbed him by the neck and polled hi* watch out of hilying tsa-r to Adolph is1-1 elnlr, whose nRme had U-en pi Reed on the hl*ek 11*1 hy the Seleetmen.

I Joseph tiomeau' an old otlendet, was senteneed to pay a line and cost* of Stt.W for a similar offence, to tie paid al the rale of a week. 1 ,eo IVchle, charged with selling li ipior on Sunday, Xmrinler la*t year, pleaded guilty. The I’rnsec tiling At torney slated that the offence was com milted la-lore hi* term. IVellie was earn:lit ted handed, hut liroke away from the olth-er and tied the State, lit* father, w ho Is a gisnl ettUen and an old resident w anted him to return: he also has a Rood w Ife amt small child. Keep ing him away wa* no punishment to him hut was to hts family. The At torney suggested I hat Ihe same line lie imposed on him as was Imposed on (er week Adolph licelair, elimged w itli lielng drunk and breach of tin* |>eace, w as put on probation for lire good of hts faintly, and ordered to report weekly to the Captain of police, mol to make apolo gies. In regard to delivering llipior to js-r »ons on the hlnck list, Selectman I’lt-tcc slated that it had la-en so easy for Iheiu to get lii|tior that putting them on the list did very lillle good. The I‘roc cutlrig Attorney made a similar state ment, but made known bis Intention to put a slop to il. hive Isiys were brought la-fore hi* honor Wednesday morning charged with disturbing the |*-iu-e. Complaints hud la-en made by residents lot Hclusil street that there were loud noises in tire night time that disturbed their slumber*. (Mth-e MefJtiire was detailed to look into the matter.

I —Two Slate roads are to Is- iwoitriifr led in lids vicinity this om»>—one in the north part of this town, near the Thompson line. Civil engineer Robert Mitchell and assistants, of Willitnan tie, were in Town o» Tuesday to Ijcgin making a survey of this road. Ahearn Brothers have been awarded the con contract. The other piece of road to be constructed this season, wiij extend from tlie West Thompson station to the ikrane farm. Onr Store Ftoariskiag Ope* Saaday. Ju*t when the Ovtc I attune seemed U> win a triumphant victory over the transgressors of the law against doing ■uvular liualRm on Sunday, their bat tle was lost, by a wily aon id Mona, w ho declared he would no! only open ly do aecular huaineaa on Sunday, but would give the |>eople of Putnam real liberty. Now, tnatead of making Put nam a “spotless town,” as it seemed likely of becoming, Sunday la to bo desecrated not only by the sale of soda w ater, ice cream and candles, but any kind of bu ry on South Main street, opened It for business on Sunday, a* he had not done lately, hut It was not groceries ha sold to any amount. The I lost on, New York and other Sunday ipapers, were supplied to purehasers from early morn till late at mghl. Several other new lines of articles were also added to Id* business, and all who wanted could have candy, soda water,lee cream, |>osi ends, Ac., to their heart's content. lie did a flourishing business, and can now well afford to close Ids bustnesa fiom sundown Krtilay till sundown Sa turday lien the early tsiat train arrived with the newspata'rs, Sunday morn* tuff, there was a large crowd at the sta tion, ev idenlly to see what was going to happen, flic police were also pre sent, but conscious their |*>wer to slop secular work was restricted, and. Ken lek and la-vlgiie tiHik the bundles id pa|s>rs that had hitherto gone Into the hands of the regular dealers, hut who had refrained from la'lng seen. The |ss>r representative of the American," who three times was arrested'the last Sunday lor folding Ids papers at the station, and lined therefor on Monday, wan present, hut outwardly only aa a spectator, hut (lerliaps to witness how smoothly the little scheme winked that he knew was to lie earned out. New-** pallets were served as usual to regular customers all over the city. Not the least unusual thing happened, and Kr niek's laiast was fulfilled: "No mure blue lid Monday* for our people.'' The Sunday i|uesLt*»n has lasen the one absorbing topic on (lie slrecl the present week. One point at least wa* settled, and that is, that for the gissl of the community, the licensing sys tem as adopted by the Mayor ami t'om mon Counell, was preferable to that wldeh now exists, ami which will al ways prove a serious annoyance to the great body of our cilixen*. In a sense they have l>ecn defied, and to remain under Hint dellanee will cause them to feel humiliated. Perhaps some plan like that desired by the Civl«; la-ague can la* arranged Is'lween the various parties who have the |siwer to restrict sales of eeitalu ar tfclcs without closing them dow n t ri ll rely, as the Prosecuting Attorney de clared he would feel compelled to do it the courts ordered him to enforce the Hlnle law against Monday traffic. The American people lie Have In Mun dny being preserved as a rest ’lay, hut they also believe that Hie law was not intended bits' enforced so strictly as to print an annoyance to the vast major ity who believe in keeping Monday aa a rest day. Abraham licvlgne, another Jew, who keeps an nnlh|ue and second-hand fur niture store on Bridge street, has two sons who also tiled notice on the Prone* eculing Attorney of their Intention to do business on Hunday, and were en gaged! asl Hunday in selling rtewapa* |iera around the city.
