DEAR JoURNAL:-I give you an item or two
of news this morning from this section of the

Ira Q. Carr, young man aged "a, was
found dead in a small brook in Rome last
Saturday evening. The water was about six
inches deep, his head not being all covered
with water. He had been subject to fits for
some twelve years, and the suppositon is that
he was attacked with one, and fell just as he
reached the brook and died in the fit. Cor
oner Geo. II. Foster of Belgrade, held an in
quest on the body yesterday, and the verdict
of the jury was in accordance with the above
supposition. He resides in Rome and leaves
widow.
Rev. VIM. II. Clark, pastor of the Baptist
church here, administered the ordinance of
baptism to eight candidates in this village
yesterday. A large concourse of people at
tended and the occasion was one of much in
terest. Mr.. Clark is very devoted and able
preacher, and is doing good work here

On Saturday night, the 21st ult., three pris-
oners escaped from Belfast Jail, between the
hour of six and nine o'clock. One Of them
was the somewhat notorious jerome Packard,
and the others were tive young men belonging
in Waldo county, under commitment to await
trial for larceny. Packard was serving SEN
tence of four months, for two eases OF assault,
and he was also ordered to give bonds to keep
the peace for two years and would doubtless
have stood committed during that time.
Packard is considered a desperate and re-
yengeful fellow. An Indignation meeting was
held at Rockport after his recent trial occa-
stoned by what many of the people there con-
sidered the unwarrantable leniency of his sem
tence, and the Rockport people doubtless feel
much uneasiness at his escape.

Anecdots Of Gen. Longstreet.

On one occasion, during the period
when battles were fought around Rich
mond, one Of the Confederate batteries
happened to pass an upset suffers
wagon. Two or three gunners, in
rumaging through it, found keg OF
lager beer, which they quickly hoisted
up In front of the timber Of one Of the
gums. The captain, riding at the head
Of the battery, had not the heart to
order It to he taken of, it being such a
luxury In that dreadfully dry country;
and 90 1t proceeded safely along for a
couple Of miles, anxiously guarded by
the thirsty captors. Suddenly the com
pany was startled by deep voice which
thundered out: --.s
s'Capt. O., halt this battery"
which was done instantly, for General
Longstreet aud staff were alongside.
"What have you got on that piece.
sir?" demanded the General.
Lager beer, sir" answered the as
founded and convicted captain.
"What in - do you mean,' roared
the General, loading up your gun on
the march, in the face of the enemy,

A roar Of laughter followed the terri

quickly produced. and in a minute he

health Of the gallant company, and was
offlike a streak, amidst the cheers of
the men, his staff stringing after him
