States, was fitted from Boston in the
year 1897, by Samuel Brown, Esq. and
Others, in the ship Columbia, Captain
John Kendrick, attended by the sloop
Westinghouse that period it was
deemed matter Of much Importance.
Medals were struck commemorative o.
the extent, & to perpetuate the discove--

these medals were left at every new
place, visited by Captain Kendrick.-
After a voyage Of three and hall
years, having made the circuit OF the
globe by proceeding round Cape
Horn-rouding down the whole coast
of America, he crossed over to China
and thence by the Cape of Hare, re.
turned to Boston. This was the begin

DOUBLE FRAUD.
Portland, Mdine, JuIi

A daring act OF mail robbery and
bank robbery has lately been commit
ted at Bath and this town, which il
seems to be our duty to lay before the
public. AS far as we have learnt the
particulars, they are as follows: A
fortnight ago last Sunday evening, a
young man called on Gen. Richard
son, cashier OF the Bank of Portland
and presented a draft of fifteen hun
dred dollars, drawn by hon. Daniel
Rose, in favour of Green and Foster
of Thomaston He represented that
there was an ur gent necessity for hav
ing The money mailed for Boston that
evening, and Gen. Richardson accor-
dinghy consented to pay it over. The
young man, who assumed the name OF
Robinson, received IL hundred dol
lars, and gave directions for the remain
der to be passed to the credit OF Green
and Foster, OF Thomaston. Several
days afterwarda bundle was received
by mail a, the post Office in this town
directed to the Cashier of the Bank OF
Portland, containing seven hundred
and ninety dollars. without any post
mark, and barely the names Green s.
Foster on the inner wrapper. The
Cashier, supposing there had been
some mistake, laid it aside to wait for
further orders. He soon after receiv
ed letter from Green and Foster, OF
Tholnaston. stating that they forwar
ded by mail to partner in Boston,
draft of fifteen hundred dollars on the
Bank of Portland, that it had not been
received at Boston, and requested the
payment to be stopped. An inquiry
was then made, and it was ascertain
ed that a young man by the name OF
Robert Lambert, a student at law in
Bath, was in this town the evening the
draft was presented Gen. Richard
son Immediately repaired to Bath,
found Lambert, and recognized him
to be the person, who presented she
draft After sternly charginghi with it
for some time, he confessed the fact.
A warrant was Issued and an exa.
mination took place before several ma
gistrates, when the facts were clearly
proved, and Lambert was laid under
bonds offs hundred dollars, to make
his appearance foi trial before the Su
preme Court Of Wiscasset. What
communication he had with the post
office, and how he had obtained the
draft. and returned part of the mon
ey without post mark we have not
been informed. Young Lambert "a
few years ago was entered student
| at Bowdoing College, but was remov
ed from College year or two alter
wards on account of irregular habits.
By this highhanded fraud he has
broughta deep stain upon his own
character which will never he etfaced,
and inflicted a wound upon the lee
lings of respectable circle of rela
tives and friends whichait will take a
long time to heal.

ALLENTOWN, N. j. June 10, 1923.
"a few days ago, in passing flock
of sheep, att some distance from me.
observed something of uncommon APP
pearance moving amongst them !; it was
owing, found upon approaching near
err, to be a lamb, following its dam,
walking upon its fore feet, with its body
erect. Its hind feet, | was told upon in
quiry, and legs as far as the CANDLES
were frozen off, the night it was LANDED,
and very soon afterwards, it acquired
this extraordinary kind of motion. II
is three months old; quite fat, and of
ordinary size for its age. 1t grases and
sucks, resting aoholty upon ITS fore feet,
with its body in the position just MEN
toned, and will walk, ifnot urged too
fast, quarter of mile at once, with
out inconvenience.
The above fact may be familiar in
the sheep districts of colder countries,
but to me, and as far as can learn, to
the people of this neighbourhood, it is
altogether novel, and exhibits the re-
sources of the animal economy for the
purposes of locomotion, to an extent,
of which have heretofore had no con-
ception.

SNAKES.-On Saturday last, as a
gentleman of this borough was riding
along the road, in Exeter township, a
large Rattle Snake presented itself,
which he killed, and bore of, as no Or
binary trophy, rattles. In Tulpehoc-
ken, some day last week, Mr.. Joseph
Lebengood having lain down in the
entry of his barn, until his horses should
feed, fell into short doze, when, on
waking, he found his breath almot stop
ped by an enormous Black Snake,
which had intwined around his neck /;
two others were tying by his face, of
an unusual size, who escaped; the for
mer was soon killed. A large number
of eggs, supposed to have belonged to
these snakes, were destroyed short
time previous.
