A correspondent of the Lewiston Jour
nal, writing from Canton, Feb. 9th says ::
To-day Mr. f. Harlow, I'd, started out for
a days amusement in a fox hunt, and
having very soon taken track, his dog
set out in good faith for chase, until
about a mile from the village he scented
larger game which he evidently preferred,
and pursuing the latter for about three
hours in n circuitous path, freed a
loupcervier near the place where he had
first been started. The animal was shot,
and measured 4 feet inches from the end
of his nose to the extremitics Of his feet
Two of these animals have been reported
as visitors in the vicinity of East Sumner
A few Sabbaths since, fox entered this
village going in the direction ofthe Baptist
Church until arriving at the mill pond,
when some temptation diverted his course
and led him beyond the influence of
civilization.
The selectmen have issued bonds in aid
of the p. & O. G. X. X. to the amount of
$4,000. About $40, 900 has been expended
in grading the road, and nearly the same
amount in the purchase of iron which is
now in course of transportation. Real
estate sales and business changes are
becoming frequent, and new enterprises
begin to develope as the Railroad
progresses.

Mr. Ed;1pyO ne of the most pleasanl
And social 1Athstings we have eyer wit
messed. took place at the house Of Mr..
George Berry, last Tuesday, Feb 9th.
There were assembled forty-sixspersons,
including the family, of all ages from
six months to eighty-two years, relatives
and old neighbors.
Mr.. Stilman Berry left fourteen years
ago next April for the far West, and has
lust returned with his wife, to visit once
more his old New England home.
The day being set, Mr.. George Berry
collected the company for his surprise.
There were present choir of singers,
with one Of Smiths American Organs as
the accompaniment As the couple
drove mp, they were greeted with one of
the best of songs,-"Hurrah for old New
England" in which the choir joined in q
hearty shaking of hands, keeping time
with the tune. while good share of the
company joined with spirit, when the
"hurrah" came in.
Being overcome with seeing the old
familiar faces, and the music combined,
it was difficult for them to respond. until
when the last verse was sung, they heart
ily joined in the "hurrah," which was
repeated several times Mt their request
After which. an hour or two was spent in
the usual chat, accompanied with vocal
and instrumental music Then dinner
was announced, and on entering the
dining room we were again surprised TO
see the bountiful supplies set before
US, which only good house keeper
could have prepared on such short notice.
A blessing having been invoked by the
returned brother, the first table was filed
by the elderly portion. followed by n
second and third, and ii we are allowed
to Judge, should say there were about
twelve baskets left.
bulHcI pttu. oNtl, tHc company Npi-
lected, and the best Of all books was
brought forward, from which a passage
was read. with remarks and prayer by
the returned brother, followed by n
season Of prayer, The Christian spirit
seemed manifest in almost every heart,
and general good feeling existed. Not
one, however opposed, could help feeling
that the Christian circle was the one TO be
sought.
At about o'clock the company broke
up and as we Turned away we could
not help wishing that such gatherings
were more frequent.
The towns OF Hartford, Sumner, with
North and West Paris, were represented.

The Lewiston Journal says: Charles
s. Shaw, age 10 years, a farmers boy OF
Minot, on hearing of Weston's pedestrian
feats, was so much excited as to prepare
himself for walk. He started Oct. 18th
from home, bound for Lincoln township,
Iowa. Not taking the shortest route, he
was obliged to walk seventeen hundred
miles, and arrived there after forty ight
walking days, which would be little
more than So miles per day. 1t thought
that Shaw likes Iowa well enoughto give
up walking and settle farm there and
work at his former occupation. Beats
Weston, don't it?
