A LONG LEAP FOR LIFE.-The Bangor
 W1tg says; Thursday morning last little red squirrel having been pestered consider
 ably by the lads about the sawmill of Eben Webster 6 Co. on Marsh Point, 0rono, took refuge for life by running up the large brick chimney near the mill. By clinging to the corner he kept foothold so well that he succeeded in reaching the very top. Here he found himself upoh the iron cap l05 1-4 feet from the ground. As more and more of the waste stuff from the mill was added to the furnace the chimney grew hotter, and bis situation became more and more disagreeable. He tried to descend upon the side of the chimney, but after getting down few feet gave it up, turned about and went back. By this time the chimney top had become so hot that he must leave It; so after looking about care fully for few minutes he evidently made up his mird that Ee must leap to save his life, and this he did. spreading out his legs. and balancing himself so that he struck the ground about fifty feet from the base, un- injured, and immediately scampered off and screened himself under pile of boards

Hall for instructor, will last ten weeks. MT. Warner, the former teacher, has been West, but found the climate ruinous 10 his health and has re- turned, hoping soon to be able to teach again in the vicinity of home. His old pu- pills of the High school were very glad to see him again, as they had all become much attached to him, and were very un- willing he should leave......

While the peach crop is failure in some place, Shef- field seems to be favored, as Ralph Little has a large peach orchard and report says the trees are most of them loaded with fruit of every variety you can mention, both early and late. He has not only peaches in abundance, but pears and apples. Hay ing such great quantities, he has found it necessary to put up fruit house, where it can all be stored and ready to sell if any one wishes to buy......People are just now talking camp meeting more than anything else, seeming to feel more interest than usual OCCASIONAL.

SVillG.

We have to chronicle the death of two of the early residents of Collinsville during the present month of August. Charles Bliss. who died at the Hartford Hospital Auc. 4th, aged GS, was for many years a well known resident of this village He was native of Springfield, Mass, and opened the first tailor shop in Collinsvile in 1928, and was perfect workman ut his business. His son, Alfred G. Bliss, holds an import ant position in the internal revenue depart ment in Washington. Henry w. Robin son died in this village, of paralysis Aug. 18th, aged 67 years. He was native of Windham In this state. He came to this place in 1928, soon after the Collins Co. commenced the manufacture of axes. snd was good workman at forging edged tools, He was well known for his uniform cheerfulDess and happy disposition. He general intelligence, He will be remcm
 bered as the fattest man in the yillage
 weighing when in health 24o pounds and upward. ...... Franklin J. Smith, one of our enterprlsing druggists. is great lover of pets. He has now four foxes, two rac- coons, two snapping turtles, one grey souri, rel, six pigs, one dog, one cat, and last but not least, a wife and children. No one to love. no one to caress. cannot therefore be applied to him. Lyman o. Higley, living near Canton, has lost forty turkeys this summer by the depreciation of foxes. John w. Marshall (colored) living two miles north of our village, recently loaded gun heavily with powder and shot to kill a hawk; but not having chance at the hawk after several days, thought he would fire off the gun; and hoIding i, over his head with both hands, bazed away, when the barrel burst in fragments, shatterinq the stock in pieces and breaking off three inches of the ram rod left it in his wrist. Dr. G. R. Shepherd was called and found
 his hand terribly lacerated. He removed the piece of ram rod and dressed hls wounds, and thinks he will recover the use of his hand with perhaps two stiff fingers. Fifty of our citizens went over the Conn. Western and Valley railroads Aug. 18th. to Fennwick to the state temperance picnic. The day was very pleasant and all enjoyed the ride and the exercises very
 T uch. There were some things that would have added to the happiness of the passen- gers. During the whole ride on both roads of nearly 70 miles each way, not particle of water was passed in the cars to the thirs
 ty children and other passengers, and there was much complaint from this neglect. At Hartford on their return at I2 o'clock, one of the Valley railroad cars was detach- ed without notice to the passengers, and four from Collinsville and some from other places were left in Hartford and had to stop at the hotels. The Conn. Western train came to Canton at half past nine at night. and the Collinsville passengers, men, women and children, were left ut the cep- eral bank half mile from the village, to grope their way to their homes in the dark ness D.

 The town was settled by the whites in 1645.

THE TOWER AS A PRISON.

The annals of the Tower as a state prs on are replete with gloomy and fearful events. A detailed account of these would fill volumes list even of the renowned and the notorious, who. during the past eight centuries have pined within these walls in captivity, would far exceed the limits of this sketch.
 Secret passages, torture rooms and dun geons, abounding within and beneath the fortress are alluded to in history and the assertion comports with the dark age in which it was built, and with the dread scenes it has witnessed. But history here, unaided by tradition, is sad enough. Let us pause before that gloomy archway, the Traitors Gate. How often have grandeur, and even royalty passed beneath it's omi- nous portals, to exchange the dreams of honor and ot glory, and the festive brillian- cy of courts for the realities of the prison. lodging, the torture room and the fatal block and axe! The drowning gateway of the Bloody Tower admits us to the Inner Ward. We glance around at the towers, those chill and lone lodgings where illustri- ous captiyes have sighed out life time ! The eye at last rests on the simple Chapel, within which the bodies of these prisoners moulder in the dust; and in front of which is the spot which marks with SO indellible a stain the Tudor race-the spot where was erected the scaffold which taught English men to look upon woman's life blood, held sacred in the most ruthless Norman age, ,eb- ping beneath the headsmsn's stroke!
 We entered the prison and bedroom oc- cupied by Sir Walter Raleigh, who spent twelve years of his life here, ,and such years must they have been 10 him in this msera- ble place. To remain even for only day in his bedroom of solid stone, with no light and only the slightest ventilation is pun ishment for crime of considerable magni- tude. It would be equal to the dungeon or solitary punishment in our prisons. In front of his door stood the block and axe with which Lady Jane Gray was beheaded, and on the block are too plainly visible the cuts left by the axe in the execution of the barbarous and bloody decd.
 Of all the towers, none possessed such deep interest to us as the Bloody Tower When attending school in the modest and unassuming red school house at nine or ten years of age, the Easy Reader used in our class contained in Lesson 24,' story of Tho Murder in the Tower,' and which sell dom failed to bring tears to the eyes Of the more sensitive in the class every time it was read. Those two little innocent prin . ces, sons of Edward tho Fourth, and who after the death of their father were placed in charge of their uncle Richard, Duke Of Gloucester, aud who hired ruffians to cru ely murder them the details of the mur- der being SO vividly pictured in that prim itiye reader, were always too much. This murder was executed in this Bloody Tow
