 From Over the sea.-A line, from Dr. Reid states their voyage across the Atlantic was very pleasant one, the sea being very smooth except one day. when it was lit- tie rough, but not enough so to make them seasick, and the whole party enjoyed the entire voyage very much indeed. He al luded to the Governor and the Doctor as being we'll and in good spirits. They ex- pect to sail for home September 2sth.

George Bushnell's barn Wednesday evening, slipped his headstall and started off toward his home in Ore Hill at high rate of speed, dragging the buggy after hum, and was not stopped till he ran nearly two miles, going past his owners barn some distance.

We dont know as there is poster or notice of il anywhereI in the village, if it be true the show is to come off. It would be too bad to have the enterprise abandoned, and we sincerely hope it will not be.

Some Lakeville chaps, witt more enterprise in the apple business thar discretion,, unhitched the boat from tht Governors grove a few days since, ant hoisted sail for Bushnell's orchards awal across the sea. A successful voyage
 brought them safely at anchor in Appl
 harbor, when they proceeded at once to fo
 rage for cargo. We'll omit the details o
 their capture and the con6scation of thei
 plunder, but what puzzles MT. Bushnell
 most is; "Who in thunder" says he ''i
 John McRoy? One of the boys gave tha
 name, and nobody seems to know any sucl
 man." ...t. -....-...t 5sf; Two Harrington Items.-Hubbell, tn Io1A Sa ba 1o6zx h found a.thousand dollar boy on his doc step last Friday evening; said boy ben
