the fact that God takes care of all his
creatures; that the falling sparrow attracts
His attention. and that His loving kindness

TO see crane wsding in quest OF food the
good man pointed out to his son the perfect
adaptation of the crane to get his living in
that manner. "See," said he, chow his legs
are formed for wading! What long slender
bill he has! Observe how nicely he folds
his feet when putting them IN or drawing
them out of the water! He does not cause
the slightest ripple! He is thus enabled to
approach the fish without giving them any
notice of his arrival" MY son" said he, " it

PREsQUE ISLE. April 80, via HoULToN, May
This community has been startled by one of
the most shocking tragedies that ever occurred
in this section of the State.
A messenger from Mapleton Plantation, q
few miles west of Presque Isle. has just arrived
with report that Deputy Sheriff Granville A.
Hayden of this town, and Thomas Hubbard,
were murdered in q camp in Chapman Planta-
ton. about three miles from Napoleon, Tues
day night, by James Collins or Sullen. The
murderer entered the camp where four men
were asleep, and with an axe murdered two OF
them, the others escaping. He then set fire to
the camp. The men brought the news of the
terrible deed to the settlement, and the news
was quickly sent to Presque Isle and all over
the country, whereupon the people, exasperated
by the causeless butchery, turned out en- masse
to aprehend the criminal The next day he
was found in the cellar of his house in Maple
ton, and Immediately hung by party from
Presque Isle. There has never been an event
in this part of the State that has so terribly
stirred the people. Mr.. Hayden was man
about 81 years of age, trader in Presque Isle
and for several years Deputy Sheriff. Few men
were ulOTe laNoIdbly huoWA. A1O iOof % " wiz
and son about six years Of age. At this time
no cause is assigned for the terrible deed.
Later.
BANGOR, May Last Tuesday Deputy Sher-
if G. A. Hayden of Presque Isle, accompanied
by W. 81. Bird and Thomas Hubbard, went to
single camp in Chapman Plantation, to ar
rest one Joseph Cullen of Mapleton, for break
ing into Hon. David Dudley's store and steal.
ing pair of boots. Cullen surrendered with
out opposition, and it being late in the evening
the party concluded to spend the night in the
camp.
In the night Cullen got up and chopped off
Hayden's and Hubbard's heads with an axe,
and was going for Bird and man named Swan
beck, who kept the camp, but the tive latter
escaped to the settlement and gave the alarm
In the morning party found the camp burned
and the bodies in the ashes. and the greatest
excitement ensued. Cullen was found in the
celler of his house in Mapletou, Wednesday
morning, and arrested, and while being taken
to Presque Isle was set upon by party from
that village who hung him to a tree. The af-
fair creates more excitement in Aroostoek than
anything perhaps which ever occurred there.
