Mn G. A. Hayden of this village, who is
largely engaged in buying sheep and lambs,
informs us that at least 300 sheep and lambs
have been purchased in this vicinity this sea-
son and sent to market ''outside." The aver
age price paid to the farmers is nearly $500
each. As high as $500 are paid for some.
This makes nearly or quite $4,000 paid to
our farmers this year for sheep. Our farm
ers in Pressure Isle and vicinity are getting
rich, and railroad men would do well to act
accordingly Presque Isle Sunrise.
We are pleased to learn that the friends of
Mr.. Geo. Woodbury., conductor on the Knox

The Saco independent says that young
lady while going from her clearinghouse on
the Pepperell in Biddeford, on last Friday
evening, near nine o'clock, to an clubhouse,
was seized upon by a half a dozen roughs
who made desperate attempt to bear her
away. The girls mouth was stuffed with
handkerchief which failed however to render
silent that lawful tongue" as doubtless it
was the offending party. Such noise did she
make that the Williams deemed it advisable to
abandon her. The young lady was senseless
for long time after her rescue, and now
lies in critical condition. Certain persons
at work en- the B, & M. K. II. are suspected
as the perpetrators of the intended crime.
On Saturday morning Joseph Cutter an
adopted son of Joseph Kimball Of So. Lubec,
went out cunning with two other young men,
in the vicinity of Boot Cove in this town.
Cutter shot some fowl in the water, and in
trying to get them, was completely submerged
in the water, and was pulled out by one
Of the young men. He made second at
| tempt to get the fowl, against the entreaties
of the young men, and was swept off from
the ledge where he stood, by the surf, and in
a few moments drowned. His body was
found the next day within few feet of the
ledge from which he was swept off.

| Supt. Noyes will commence to narrow the
guage of the Maine Central Railroad between
Waterville and Danville Junction on Thurs
! day. 1t wills probably take two, and perhaps
three days to get the road ready to RIM to
Portland over the new extension, and the
| first train will go through on Monday next.
Some three miles of the extension are not
fully gravelled, but will doubtless be fin
ished this week.
| Castine is determined to have rail COM
munication with the East and we think they
are wise in so doing. That the East, on the
shore route, must also have communication
with Bangor, is also foregone conclusion.
But Castine can, and must if they cannot get
the direct line from there, connect with the
main line and make a continuous route from
the East to the West through that place, with
boat from Castine to Rockland, only two
hours run, dining the passengers on board
the boat, and putting them on board the after
noon train for Bath and Portland. Should
no other arrangement be made, Castine must,
and will do this.-Machias Republican.
