table Saturday that he guessed he would 90
down to the islands. Scott was lying under
the table. At once he made known his desire to
accompany his master. Before the gentleman
started the door was opened and Scott started
down the street. His owner went from his
honse direct to the wharf, where he took a
sailboat for Cushing's Island. He saw nothing
of his dog until he returned and found him
coming off the steamer Gazelle. He questioned
Captain Oliver and was told that the dog snt
On board the steamer just as she was leaving

question is, does the DOG know the sound of the

SEVERE AccIDENT.-Saturday morning soon
after o'clk two little sons of John j. Lid
back were playing in their fathers room, on
Franklin Street, when they found revolver in
a drawer. The oldest boy, about nine years of
age, took it up and pointing it at the window
tried to fire it. AS he heard no report he low.
cred it when the piece discharged, the ball
striking the youngest boy, two years of age,
about an inch below the left eye. Drs. True
and Fitch were called and probed for the ball
but failed to find it, The little fellow was quite
smart last evening" and DR.. True, the attending
physician, thinks that if inflammation does moi
set in he will recover. The oldest boy feel
very sad. and fully realizes the injury he hal
unMittinglY done

SAD AccIDENT.-We are panied to learn of a
sad case of drowning that occurred at Cumber-
land Mills on Saturday afternoon. Two sisters,
Agnes, aged 10 years, and Hannah WEIGH, aged
IA years, with friends, went to the river for a
bath. Hannah, venturing beyond her depth,
lost control of herself. Her cries for help
bringing her sister to her aid both were carried
under and drowned. Help was quickly pro-
cured and they were taken from the water, but
too late to resuscitate them. All that medical
aid and skill could offer was done, but without
success. A widowed mother, now left alone
has certainly the sympathy of all in this sad
bereavement

The MERCANTILE ExCURsIoN.-Saturday a
party of 100, embracing many of our most
prominent business men with their families,
made an excursion over the Portland & Roch-
ester to Winnepesaukee Lake. At 7.30 a. M,
the train rolled out of the station, having the
merry party on board. The excursionists were
forced to amuse themselves with lively CONVEX
satio1, screaming out iests above the rumble of
the car.wheels, for truth to say the scenery for
great portion of the way is not enticing to
look at After crossing the Saco one sees
chiefly stunted growth and coarse brakes, be-
hind which black stumps start up in an unex-
pected way. At Alfred. thirty miles out the
pretty sheet of water called Shaker POND, Dor
dered with lily pads, comes into sight, and a
little beyond is Alfred village. After
passing Alfred the landscape is less mountain
Gus, and small hills break into view.
Ten o'clock sees US in the beautiful and
thriving village of Rochester with its many
| railways. After an hour passed in
lettering about its shady streets
and looking at the old houses,
once tenanted by historic New Hampshire fam
lilies, we take the Boston s. Maine, and in
short time are at Alton Bay, on the banks of
the beautiful lake. Here we embark on the
fine steamer Mt. Washington.
The ride up the lake is one of the pleasautest
that can be imagined. The many islands
stand out of the water like huge rocks clad in
green. Woods everywhere come down to meet
the indented shore, and on every side the
mountains close in the view. Toward the ND
per end of the lake these mountains loom up
large and indistinct, through a haze that is
almost autumnal. We conjecture them to be
the outposts of the White Mountains; but this
pleasant impression is dispelled by passenger
who CONTEMPORARY informs us that ''they're
only bills in Tuftonborough." Hills In Tuf-
tonboroush or not they were grand to look at,
and it is evldedt that Tuftonborough is good
place for that sort of scenery.
The Mt. Washington landed us at Wolfboro'.
ten miles upn The lake, and two hours after
came for us. Another pleasant hours sail, and
we were on board the cars again. A few min
utes before eight the familiar smell of tan
yards admonished us that we were in the vi
cinty of Portland.
The excursion was very pleasant one and
highly enjoyed by all who participated Mr..
w. Fl. Turner, the popular superintendent of
the T. & R. r. R., did all in his power to make
the journey pleasant one and the party will
be very happy, to be confded to his charge
again. The sharp business men with us kept
look out for the main chance, and were eying
the country with view to building up trade
along the line of the road
Just before leaving Rochester the gratifying
information was received that the bridge is be-
ing put down over the Merirmac on the Roch-
ester & Nashua road. The road is all graded
and but twenty miles of rail are to be laid. 1t
will be open for travel in six weeks
