rapidly all night and was rising little at
noon to-day. The water is higher than at
any time since 1869. Logs are coming down
quite rapidly. There has been no damage
done to property here and it is believed here
that the freshet has now reached to its high

only damage by the freshet in this city, that
has come TO our Gotice. The water is I'M

than it has been before this year.
At Waterville the temporary piers at the
railroad bridge were floa,ed away, bu: their

At Somerset Mills the boom of Messrs.

Another large and enthusiastic audience
was present last night to witness the final
exhibition here of the above combination.
The words of praise given to them by our ex-
changes are well merited, for we have rarely
seen better array Of real talent in entertain
ments of this character. Miss Jennie Kim
ball as a comediennc and vocalist, is too well
known to be Recommended by us; Miss d.
Rina has fine voice and is a conscientious
singer. Mr.. j. S. Kelley as the Irish carman
and guide, deserves especial mention for the
refined manner in which he portrays the
character, in favorable contrast with most of
the Barneys and Dublin Dams of similar en-
tertainments. Mr.. Atkinson in his songs and
banjo and bone solos was irresistably funny.
We would here like to say a word for the
musicians of the evening. Mr.. Swanburg, vi
olinist. is an advanced pupil of Prof. Eich-
berg's. and though young in years is an artist
of rare ability and gives promise of taking a
foremost stand among the solo players on
this instrument. He is ably assisted by Mr..
G. c. Reynolds, pianist. We believe it would
be a grand feature and would please the
greater part of the audience to hear them in
solos, during the evening. Mr.. Sheridan as
the tourist, is good elocutionist and it is a
pleasure to hear his delineations of the beau
tiful paintings. They announce performan-
ces at Hallowell on Thursday and Friday
evenings, Oct. esd and oath, and at Gardiner
on Saturday afternoon and evening, Oct. 25th.

Delany vs.. Joseph Baker, to Somerset county
to be tried there. The reason of the motion
was stated to be the existence of prejudices
and outside influences unfavorable to an i'm
partial trial here. Hon. John S. Abbott of
Boston, counsel for plaintiff, opposed the re.
noval. The court denied the motion, and
took occasion to recommend a reference as
the best mode of determining the rights of all
persons interested in the suit. 1t will be
recollected that the case has been twice tried
before jury, resulting in disagreement.
No. 32j, John Ham vs.. VIM. H. Cummings,
was proceeded with and finished. The jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiff for SG.2G.
No other parties could be found ready for

A Precious Rascal.

A war against divorce shysters is in
progress in Chicago, where the members
of the class are innumerable. They be-
lieve they are able to rush through q
decree without any reference to the
merits OF the case, as was fully Illus
trated for the one thousandth time by q
case reported. According to this state
ment, man who had farm of consid-
erable value, and family, went away
from home and met former sweetheart,
whom he concluded he would like to
marry. AS preparatory step toward
this accomplishment, he went to Chica-
go to get divorce. He had no difficult
ty in finding professional who agreed
to obtain a divorce for him, without any
or compliance with any other safeguards
of the law. The attempt would proba-
bly, have succeeded, as hundreds of 9TH
ers of just as little merit have succeed
ed before, if it had not been for mere
accident. Instead of procuring some
woman to represent the wife, as had
been done in several cases, the husband
thought he could betray or bully his
wife into signing an agreement for ref
erence before Master of Chancery,
where the case could be rushed through
without danger of any inspection likely
to disclose its enormity. The wife,
however, went to Chicago, with a babe
in her arms, and stumbled about the
Court House in vague way until she
happened to meet clerk of the Court,
who assisted her to find the case she
wanted to investigate, and an attorney,
who, out of charity, undertook to defend
her rights. She was the one who had
been deserted, and who had been
obliged to borrow money to support her
family during her husbands absence.
1t was his purpose to procure divorce,
and then sell out the farm on which his
family lives, leaving them no means of
support, and no redress.

How the Indians Climb Trees.

In South America even the weakest
woman may be, not uncommonly, seen
plucking the fruit at the tree tops. If
the bark is so smooth and slippery that
they cannot go up by climbing, they use
other means. They make hoop of
wild vines, and putting their feet in
side, they use it as a support in climb
ing. The negro of the west coast of
Africa makes a larger hoop round the
tree and gets inside of it, and jerks it
up the trunk with his hands, little at
a time, drawing his legs up after it.
The Tahitian boys tie their feet to-
gether, four or five inches apart, with a
piece of palm bark, and with the aid OF
this fetter go up the cocoa-palms to
gather nuts. The native women in
Australia climb the gum trees after
opossums where the bark is rough
they chop holes with a hatchet, ther
one throws about the tree rope twioi
as long as will go around it, puts hel
hatchet on her cropped head, and
placing her feet against the tree ant
grasping the rope with her hands, sh,
bitches it up by jerks, and pulls hersel
up the enormous trunk almost as fas
as man will climb a ladder,

All About CranberrIes,

The Philadelphia Enquirer says
Sbi,o5inrr. orqnherriAs from the New
history of the rise of what 10 no,,
productive industry, is somewhat curl
ous. Some years ago New Jersey pos
sessed fifteen thousand acres of worth
less swamp lands, situated in Ocean,
Atlantic, and Burlington Counties. The
first person who attempted to grow the
cranberry on these swamps and peat
bogs met with great difficulties, but
finally overcame them and made his
fortune. Since then, this formerly
worthless land has become among the
most valuable in the State. The berries
are picked from the Goth of September
to the 1st of October, when they COM
mence to reach the market. To the
stranger the sight of one of these great
cranberry beds, as they appear on the
surface, is of little interest, as only q
few berries show on the top, and no
idea can be formed of the wealth
beneath. Stepping on one of the beds,
however, and treading as carefully as
we may, is like walking on torpedoes,
as the berries snap at every step. Once
on the beds, let the visitor kneel and
part the matted vines with his hands
and the astonishing yield of one o.
these we'll l-ordered plantations may ther
be seen it cannot be estimated, SC
prolific does it appear, and so wonder
