And SO he had. He had taken the

PAINT FOR WAGoN.-There is no
paint more durable than a mixture of
red and white lead; but the color is a
matter of taste, and every man should
select that which suits him best. Cream
color, peach blow and red are very COM
mon and very appropriate. If the
wagon is to be red, if not now we'll
painted, give three coats; for FIRST use,
one part red and two parts white lead /;
second coat, equal parts of each. or re-
verso the first, and the last coat all red
lead. If a lighter shade is desired, use
more of the white and less of the red.
If a straw or cream color is chosen,
use no red lead, but shade with chrome
yellow. Uso the best raw linseed oil.

SEVENTEENTH MAINE REUNIoN.-This reg
iment celebrates the thirteenth anniversary of
their muster-in on Wednesday, the 18th inst,
by an island excursion, notice of which will be
found in our columns. The history of this
regiment is one of the most illustrious in the
annals of Maine. 1t entered the service in the
fall of 1862, fought in many battles, and adj
hered to the cause of the Union, until peace
was secured.
No regiment in New England has a bette
or more glorious record. The colonies of this
regiment were Thomas A. Roberts, Geo. w.
West and Chas. P. Mattocks, in command on
their return. 1t is hoped that every surviving
member of this glorious old regiment will be
present on this occasion; especially as it was
the first to organize regimentaf associations for
memorial purposes.

A SHARP GAMB.-Yesterday afternoon a
man called at the residence of John Goddard
at Cape Elizabeth and played an unusually
shrewd game. He spoke to Mr.. Goddard and
called him by name, and told him where be
had seen him, &C., until the latter thought
that he did know him. Then he told him his
little story. He lad been to ST. John and had
just returned with lot of nice wine, which he
proposed to treat Mr.. G. to if he could get
some demijohns to put it in. The story was
told so well that Mr.. Goddard furnished a
number of demijohns, and sent his team in
charge of hired man after the wine. Since
that time nothing has been heard of the men
or the team, and it is feared that the hired
man has met foul play. The police are looking
the matter up. The horse was light grey and
the carriage was an open buggy with the rum
ming gear painted red.
