With this, my friend, by whose
influence | was installed in the acad.

to leave me.
"Wait II moment, Mr. JcfIrics,"
said; chow can | keep"
"Clear of Them" he added with q

"Thank you! thank you!"
With this | gave my friend my
hand, and thus we parted. An hour
later l was seated by my desk, in the
plcasantcst school-room, looking about
me with no small degree of interest
for the two pupils of whom my friend
had spoken, and wondering in the
mean time if his kindly, well-meant
caution would not bring me at once
face to face with the very danger
which he had wished me to avoid.

failing to find, in the score of faces be-

Something like a quick whisper

at my thoughts, turned a second
time to my books, and this time u
big apple started from one of the
back seats, and came rolling down
the aisle. The incident was slight,
but, taken in connection with my re-
Election, and my friends parting
words, it annoyed me.
Ipicked up the apple, laid it on
the desk, and glanced in the direct

Goodness what a pair of blue eyes

just visible beneath the folds of her

THE LONDON ACADEMY quotes
Mr.. Chester. the author OF . recent an-
tiquarian book about Westminster Alb. j..
bey. as expressing surprise that so
little should be known about the paren.
tage of Major Andre, and gives ~ new
the following account made up by Mr..
Chester, as he says, with considerable
time and labor :" Major Andre WAS
born about 1851. the eldest son Of An
thoDy Andre, merchant. of London, by
Mary Louise. q daughter Of Paul Cir
ardot. of Paris, Anthony was native
of Geneva. the grandson Of John Andre,

two sons and three daughters, who all
died unmarried His widow survived
both SONS, and died at Bath. in 1918. at
the age of ninety-o one. Her younger
son, William, was created . bsronet, in
l1sl. in recognition Of his brothers
services, but the title became extinct in
1902. There Is nothing essential stated
here which is not To be found set forth
in Mr.. Winthrop Sargent's sdmira bic

and last edition of which was published
after its authors early and lamented
death, in 1871. by the Appletons. Of

The SToRM.-A thick, driving snow storm
set IN at about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The light snow fall of the preceding night was
nothing compared to it. The street cars con-
tlnued to run but it was with great difficulty,
and the snow pillow was called into use. At the
commencement of the storm several distinct
claps of thunder were heard, which is some
thing very unusual for this season of the
year.
The storm continued last evening aud the
horse cars were compelled to withdraw. The
cars on the Deesing line were on runners late
in the evening. A large force of men will COM
mence clearing the several tracks this morning,
As the snow was light it did not retard the
railroad trains much. The up train over the
Ogdensburg arrived at North Conway about an
hour late and Conductor Hartshor1's train from
st. Johnsbury was a little delayed. In some
places on the line of the road foot of snow
fell. The Grand Trunk trains were nearly on
time, as were the Maine Central and Eastern.
The Pullman trains were not much late.

New Cascc.

The Transcript this week calls attention to
| the extracts from the records of "The great
and general court of Massachusetts Bay"
printed in the PRESS recently, and gives a
number of interesting facts in regard to the old
fort at Casco. The fort referred to was built
in ancient Falmouth on point of land east of
| the Presumpscot Casco, as the settlement on
| the neck where Portland now stands, was then
| called, had been destroyed by the French and
| Indians in 1890. After the peace of 1893 a
fort, instead of being built on the site of Fort
Loyal, on the Neck, was established on point
| of land east of the Presumpscot river
This point was called New Casco to disin-
| gush it from the deserted Neck, which was
then known as Old Casco. The fort was in
tended only as trading-post to accommodate
the Indians in accordance with the terms of
| the treaty with them. In 1903 Governor Dud-
ley held a conference with the Indians at this
fort, to which came, we'll armed and gaily
painted, the chiefs of the rridgewock, Pc
nobscot Penocook, Ameriscoggin and Peqaa-
ket tribes; those of the Ameriscoggin tribe
were accompanied by about two hundred war;
riors in sixty-fye canoes. The Indians pro.
fessed the smost peaceful intentions, and
celebrated the occasion with singing, dancing
and loud acclamations of joy, yet within two
| months "the whole eastern country was in a
confagration, 10 house standing or garrison
| unattached"
This war continued for ten years, during
| which Falmouth lay desolate The fort at New
Casco became the central point of defence for
| all the settlements upon Casco Bay, and the
/ anfra Of f1n
mouth. In 1903 the savages attempted t,
capture it by stratagem, failing in which, an
| being reinforced to the number of five hundred
French and Indians they commenced a regu-
| lar siege. The fort was commanded by Major
March, who had garrison of but thirty-six
men. The enemy had nearly succeeded in
undermining the fort, when it was relieved by
the timely arrival of province armed vessel,
which shattered the enemys navy of two
hundred canoes, and compelled the Indians to
make hssty retreat The fort was main
tanned through the war, though much complaint
was made in the Massachusetts, Assembly of
the cost of supporting it. At last the Assem-
bly, succeeded in having it demolished in 1716.
The difficulties encountered IN the first settle
ment of this country are strkingly illus trated
by the fact that nearly century after Fal
mouth was first occupied, it was thus aban-
doned to the savages
The old fort stood on point of land making
out into the bay, off against Clapboard Island.
