Nor QUITE DEAD.-About Christmas times
magistrate Of Township No. 2, happening to be
in town in the Western portion OF the Town
ship discovered in a wagon which was coming
from Lincoln to Auburn, what appeared, to all
tntsnts and purposes, the body Of a dead man
living still and stiff in the bottom OF the wagon.
He asked the driver and lady that sat beside
him whore they were taking the body and they
weps understood to say that they had picked it
up between there and Lincoln-did not know
what to do with it. The Justice then remarked
that AZ the remains had been found within his
jurisdiction, he should then and there proceed
TO hold an inquest over the body, and forthwith
summoned a jury and proceeded to make ar
rsn9ements to sit on deceased and otherwise in
<estigate the cause OF death. After proceeding
tor some time in the investigation, and when the
}ury vas about to return verdict OF "died from
t,o much Christmas" indications OF life or at
t,Ast spirit was discovered in the body and on
ayp.fing q galvanic battery or something as
startling the body rose to sitting posture, rub
he'd ita eyes, pushed back its hair and though
n =. one ariser. from the dead very much resem-
bled it, This clescd the inquest and We lie arm
thst tho officer and jury have concluded not to
present bill to the Supervisors for their official
services. The merchant III the village received

CHRIsraAs TREEs.-rhe Christmas Trees at
the Hall on Saturday evening last were hand
somely arranged and well laden WITH choice
presents; indeed the three trees were not able to
bear oil the freight intended for them and large
amount had to be piled up under them The
crowd YVES not AS large as we expected to see,
but those there made it about as noisy es pigeon
roost, SO that nobody except those Immediately
in 'front.' knew anything Of what was being done
or said and those who were not there need have
no regrets. There was a side show Of some kind
in the Hall, for what purpose we do not know,
as it was not announced in the programme, nor
have we yet been able to learn whether it was a
money success not. Perhaps it was to raise
money to pay for the dancing music but il so it
has not yet been paid over.

FoRrsT HILL BRAss BAND.-This band, twelve
IN number, as previously announced reached
hero last Tuesday evening in six horse band
wagon, enlivening the town with fine music as
they entered. 1t was holiday and free will
visit OF the gentlemen of the band to our town,
and our people received and entertained them
with that fraternal and true neighborly spirit due
to the occasion. The band exceeds all our ex-
psctations in requirements and efficiency, and is
not afraid or too churlsh to let its music be
heard ON I'll proper occasions and at all proper
places and hours. The band attended the dane
ing club at the American, on Tuesday night,
where there was a crowded hall Of ladies' and
gentlemen to receive them, ana an exceedingly
pleasant evening was spent. Again ON Thursday
evening an impromptu party was held atArmory
Hall in honor Of our visitors when the large
hall was filled to overfowing, thing very un-
common for this large hall, and the evening was
passed in dancing, greetings and social pastimes.
One Of the greatest merits ofthe members of this
band, aside from their musical efficiency, is that
a are true gentlemen in all the relations Of life,
and worthy members Of any genteel society. The
boys gave the town. during their stay, pleasant
and very general serenade which will be long re-
membered by our people. On yesterday our Wis.,
itors took their departure for home, Forest Hill.
bearing with them the good will and high esteem
of oil our people. We learn that the members
OF the band met with but one disappointment
during their stay here, and that was their being
denied the privilege Of paying for anything or
spending q cent in town. We should not close
this notice without making our bow to the leader
and each m member Of the band for the handsome
serenade to the HERALD Office. Their departure
yesterday was accompanied to the depot by
procession, cheers and farewell greetings.

NAN AND BnorHsR. Some OF the honest. fru-
gal. patient. industrious, law-abiding monaghan
men and brethren, late Of Hong Kong, made a
raid on our chicken house on Christmas night.
AID relieved it Of about eighteen fine fat hens.
They were prepared with q cold-chissel to force
the lock 90 as not to disturb our slumbers or
annoy us in the middle OF the night, for which
delicate consideration we owe many thanks to
these moon-eyed men and brothers. We had
neglected to place anything on the Christmas
tree the evening before for this distinguished
class Of our community, and there may have
boen tinge of malice mixed up in their quiet
and genteel visit. However this may be we are
not entirely resigned to settling down and rails
ing chickens for Cinnamon, and may rebel so me
OF these times, the law and the gospel to the
contrary, notwithstanding.

Desperate Encounter with a Whale IN
ProyincetOwn, Cmass.,) Harbor.

Two "right' whales were discovered in the
.harbor about 3 o'clock Monday afternoon last.
The cry of " there she blows !" was soon re-
peated along shore, directly followed by hasty
manning of whale boats and hurrying into
them the weapons and gear for chase and
capture. Some half-dozen boats, equipped
and manned with six men each, soon started
in pursuit. After a chase of about three
quarters of an hour-the whales the while
deity eluding their pursuers by soundlngs
and irregular spoutings-a boat steered by
George Smith and headed by Archibald
McCurdy, both experienced whalemen, was
run upon the broadside of one of them, and
McCurdy, TO use his phrase, "sent his iron
home to the selling into her bilge."
The scene now became exciting to the
actors and hundreds of spectators who were
Witnessing the proceedings from the town.
The wind at the time was blowing a gale
from the north, and so cold that the spray
froze as it few. The whale ran sharply now
to windward, now to leeward. then following
the shoal water back and forth along the
west end Of the harbor, the loose whale all
the time keeping close company with his
wounded mate, and the sea and spray envel-
oping the crew. and at times obscuring the
boat from view. The enraged whale in her
frantic career, poised upon her nose, and ele-
waiting her hukeS 20 feet above water, would
again and again strike f~earfully for her invisi-
bic foe.
Every attempt to hauI up and lance was
met by her flakes just clear of the boat.
Thus the contest continued. without much
change of maneuver or advantage gained by
either antagonist, until about half past five
P. NJ, when the whale succeeded in deliver
ing the boat a slight blow with her tail,
knocking off the head of the stern-post,
breaking the steering oar in several pieces,
and filling her to the thwarts with water.
Another boat near at hand took her tow-line,
but after a short time, the whale still fighting
and preventing any near approach, and night
setting in, the harpooner reluctantly cut the
line and let her 90. Her wound is thought
to be mortal, as she bled profusely, and it is
expected she may be picked up in a few days
in the bay.
The crew of the crippled boat, on reaching
the shore, were completely encased in ice,
enveloping even the head of Smith, who had
lost his hat. Several of the other crews were
badly frostbitten.- Yarmouth Register.

An Omen Polar Sea.

Professor J. B. Maury, in a very interest
ing article in Putnam's Magazine, expresses
his belief in DR.. Kane's open Polar Sea, and
that it can be easily reached by following
the Gulf Stream, which will give open water
all the way. He asserts, on the authority
of the Transactions of the Royal Society Of
London, for 1915, that two Dutch whalers
in 1866, penetrated to the Pole itself. He
quotes from a captain of an American whale
ship, who says he had gone several hundred
miles to the northward and eastward from
Behring's Strait, and three hundred miles
beyond the limit of his chart, and with an
open sea still before, as far as could be seen
in that direction" KotZebue, in 1915, says,
as he attempted to pass to the west round
the coast of Asia: 1.-The sea was open TO
the northeast as far as the eye could see"
and Commander John Rogers, of the United
States North Pacific Exploring Expedition,
1886, says of the same waters: GAS
far as | went to the ~northward and eastward
beyond the Straits, | had an open sea with
a current flowing to the northward and east
ward, and with a temperature of the water
much above that due to the latitude" Pro-
fessor Maury holds that there is a Pacific
warm current sweeping through Behring's
Straits to the Pole, to correspond with the
Atlantic Gulf Stream, which sweeps round
Spitzbergen, and that by either of these
routes the Pole may be reached in safety,
and an open channel found between the
Atlantic and Pacific.
In confirmation of his theory, he treats of
birds and fishes and sea-weeds as g Dumb
Guides to the Poles" He shows that birds
which feed only on grain and marine plants
and cannot endure the winter cold of the
Atlantic coast, nave been seen flying north
ward beyond so degrees of latitude; and
that vast quantities of marine vegetation are
carried by the Gulf Stream towards the
Polar Sea.
The argument is we'll put in his article,
and we may be sure that some enterprising
~navigators will never be content till the
truth of his theory is tested, and it is known
whether there be an open current flowing
into an open Polar Sea.

SOLDIERS PENSIONS. Under a law of
Congress and the regulations of the Pension
Office, the time during which declarations
for pensions may be fled by ex soldiers who
served in the late war, or their heirs, expires
by limitation in June next, and after that
time no case will be received without special
act of Congress in each case. The act of
June 6, 1866. prescribes that all such dec
larations should be filed within five years
after the passage thereof, the framer of the
act elieving that this was suffi sent time
for the filing of all bona Jfde cases. The
fact ofthis limitation o oftime is not generally
known throughout the country, and as
hundreds of new cases are received each
week, it Is fair to presume that many per-
sons wiz fail to file their papers prior to
June, and will be thereafter debarred from
securing the pensions to which they are
rightfuly entitled. unless Congress enact
law extending the time during which declara
tions may be filed. The House Committee
on invalid Pensions has agreed to report a
bill extending the emitting period to 1871
The probabilities of its passage are very
