A wicked story, which of course is lie,

ent who was not apparently accustomed to
the use OF refined language, andwho evidently

A man calling himself Alexander Wilson
has been arrested in Bangor who confesses
to have broken into eleven houses in Lee,
Winn and adjoining towns within short
time past. coat, hat, boots and other ar
ticles plundered from various places were
found in his possession. Among the DWELL
ings he has broken into, are those of Elisha
Bradford, Henry Douglass and Mr.. Randall,
in Lee, and Messrs. Buzzell and McDevitt in
VIM. Wilson stole very little money in his
operations, but generally took clothing, food,
and small articles which he could conceal
about his person. He is an old offender,
Oscars" of the Lewiston Journal has in
vestlgated the cheese-poisoAing case in VIM
throp, where some twenty persons were made
sick by eating cheese; and not ought against
the cheese-maker. We have interviewed
Mrs. Francis Dexter, Wayne, who is considered
one of the best butte-and cheese-mskers in
fresh and sweet, by filling them with salt and
covering them in il; and then dries them.
She sleeps in a crockery vessel, and puts the
liquid in a glass, vessel, with as much salt as
it will hold, and corks tight. She sets her
milk in tin keller, and uses no coloring
matter. There can be no fault in preserving
rennet and making cheese in this manner;
no blame can attach to Mrs. Dexter. Her
cheese is readily sought as before, and per-
haps more so, as it is generally thought that
had her cheese been only half as rich, the
poisoned ones would have been but half as
sick.
The Wing says that James Jellison and
Geo. Howard, who belong to driving crew
on Trout Brook, tributary to the east
branch of the Penobscot, were recently
caught among the logs and frightfully jammed.
Jellison is so badly injured his life is des-
paired of-several logs having passed COM
pletely over him, and Howard has his right
foot and leg below the knee badly crushed.
Both men were carried to Oldtown. where they
reside. The place of accident being remote
from any travelled road, it was, with the
greatest difficulty that the injured men were
brought home. The nearest point at which
teams could be available was seven miles
distant, to which point they were carried
upon rude stretchers by the men attending
them; thence by teams to Mattawamkeag,
where they were put on the cars and taken TO
Oldtown. The sufferings of the injured men
were intense, and their attendants were COM
pletely exhausted upon reaching Olatown'
having been out several days ana nignt'
without rest or shelter.
