A few years ago an Intellectual attempt
was made by the Legislature ol this State
to produce the records, plans, field notes,
and other papers in the Land Office OF
Massachusetts pertaining 10 lands in
Maine. Last winter at the suggestion OF
Hon. Mr.. BureIgh, our State Land Agent,
the Governor deputized Hon. A. w.
Paine to visit the Legislature of Massa.
chusetts, then in session, TO procure its
assent to have these records and other
papers passed over TO the Land Office
here. The effort was eifectual and an
act was accordingly passed directing the
transfer. During the past week Mr..
Paine has been 10 Boston, and alter
thorough search through the several
offices of the State House. has gathered
together and brought TO The Land Office
in this city The documents desired, and
they will. as speedily as possible, be ar
ranged and placed in suitable order Tor
reference and use. The papers and plans
are many oil them In dilapidated ST. ate
and will need much repair and careful
usage. Their great value, however, can
hardly be appreciated, containing as
they do the original evidence OF titles
TO very large part OF the lands In
Maine. Many of these had been SUBJ
stantally LOST tor many years, such as the
original certificates of the settlers lots In
Bangor aud neighboring towns, East
port, &c, all OF which the present search
into old dusty closets and other places
has brought to light. 1t is now TO be
hoped that the Legislature may make
suitable provision Tor the safety and care
of this new treasure, go that II may not
only be preserved tor all future time. but
put into such a form as may bo made
available for use. bangor Wing.

The drifts are piled 50 wide and deep,
And Wild the wind is blowing,
No,Liug see has shape or form;

But that dear voice comes through the storm
To greet me in my nes, warm,
As ii the sky were glowing

With gladness overaowing.

A Bear Caught
Several days ago Jacob Fogle and
Richard Mills. whilst hunting for coons,
crossed and caught Bear. in Massanutten
Mountain. near Moore Mills, Rockingham
Co. Va. They shot it several times, and
finally got into severe scuffle with it,
before it yielded. One of the men was
thrown down and considerably bitten by
it. But they determined to take its hide
and carcus. Good pluck Valley.
Mr.. p. W. Magruder our accommodating
town treasurer, was quite busy on Monday
night. receiving town taxes from those
who were desirious of saving five per cent.
For two hours he sat patiently making all
necessary explanations, his countenance
only charging when tax payer would
pass good sized Erenback across the
courier. Then hia features would gently
relax, his eye brighten, and soft smile
eNclrcle his mouth. The receipt handed
over, with nasty jerk the money would
be deposited in an old pocket book which.
With the smile and bright eye, would dis
appear at the same time. Again with the
same grum look he waited the appearance
