Mysterious Affair.
Boy Shot Through the Heart-Was it
Murder or Accident

Last Saturday that section of Parsons6eld
lying near the northeastern line of Newfeld
was considerably stirred over the mysterious
death of John Crennor, boy Is years old, son
of Charles Crennor. He was found dead in
bed that forenoon shot through the heart The
boy was sick in bed with the humps, and a
little eight year old boy, Charles Patch, son of
Dominicus Patch, was in the room with him.
The Patch boy came down stairs and remarked
to the mother of Orennor, Something is the
matter with Johnnie" The mother went up
and found her son in bed with the quilt spread
up, but to her looking very singular. She ap-
preached and turned away the quilt, when her
CONSERVATION may be imagined on finding his
clothing bloody and the blood flowing from
wound in the breast. He had been shot through
the heart and pistol lay by his side. The
mystery now is, did the boy accidentally shoot
himself, or was the deed done by his compan
ion, also accidentally? Young Patch tells diff
ferent stories about the affair, SO that the
truth cannot be obtained. The fact of the bed
clothes being drawn up might indicate that the
deed was done by the younger boy, and then
through fear of punishment he refused to d.
vnlge the truth. The pistol belonged to
brother of Crennor and was fastened up in a
trunk in the room. Which one of the boys
took it out of the trunk is unknown. At pres
ent mystery hangs over the affair.

To the Editor of the Press:
A pleasant episode in political circles took
place in Cornish short time since, which re-
suited last Saturday in the raising of large
and handsome Hayes and Wheeler flag by the
ladies of four patriotic Republican families in
the same neighborhood.
Some weeks ago the children of two families
in the village raised two small but pretty flags.
on which was inscribed the names of the Re-
publican candidates, and some Dem ocratic
ladies in the vicinity sneered at the meagre
dimensions of the flags, and compared them to
the reduced majority of the Republicans in the
state last year, remarking that microscope
would be needed to see them after election.
Not relishing such sentiments Mrs. Woodbury.,
Mrs Stackpole, Mrs. Quincy, Mrs. Aver and
Miss Luce, all good, earnest Republicans, went
quietly at work before electi on and made a
large, beautiful flag, 3Ox2O feet, indicative of
what they believed would be the proportionate
Republican majority in the state compared
with last year, appointing Saturday last when
it should be raised with Appropriate ceremo-
MES. A tall flag staff was erected in front Of
Woodbury's house, and the rope attached to a
tall tree opposite was strung across the street.
A large, crowd Of citizens gathered to witness
the raising of the stars and stripes. Mr.. c. E.
Woodbury. called the assemblage to order and
in neat, pithy speech, gave history of the
making OF the flag, and touched on the differ
emit topics OF the campaign. As the flag was
raised cheer after cheer went up for the hand
some pieces OF bunting and for the success in
November of the names thereon inscribed.
Misses Griggs and Luce presided at the piano,
and Hail Columbia, Yankee Doodle, and
Marching through Georgia." greeted the ears
of the audience, and also the Democratic ladies
IN the vicinity. to whom message was sent by
Mrs. Woodbury., that they could sell that "mi-
croscope" and purchase tickets up certain
river over which the Democracy have made
regular trips for more than twenty years.

FIRE AT OLD ORCHARD.-The large build
ing on the Methodist camp-ground at Old Orch
ard was destroyed by fire Monday night about
1890 O'Clock. The building was used as a
boarding house and the inmates barely escaped
with their lives losing many of their effects.
The structure was totally destroyed. Mr.. Ellis
was the proprietor and be was absent t the
time.
The house consisted of two parts, or wings,
each eighty feet long, and two stories in height.
There was kitchen, or ell, connecting these
two wings, that was forty feet square, and two
stories in height The building was valued at
$1,000, on which there was an insurance of 81. :
500, including furniture. The furniture was
valued at $4,000. Rollins, Loring & Adams of
this city had $500 insurance, of which $1,000
was in the American Central of St. Louis,
$500 in tho Lycoming of Pennsylvania, and
$1,000 in the First National of Worcester, An
derson & Dow had $1,000 in the Citizens of
Newark, N. J.. Nothing was saved from the
house. Mr.. Ellis had $500 on his own furni-
ture in the Saco agency.
There being plenty of water close at hand,
and it being still night, no other buildings
were burned. One adjacent house was scorch.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The Reform Club at Var
mouth continues to prosper and is doing .
good work. There are now over hundred and
fifty m embers The warm season did not abate
their ardor in the cause. They are opening
the fall campaign with vigor. Their hall is tru-
ly an attractive place, owing to the efforts of
our Ladies' Aid Society, whose sympathy and
assistance is gratefully acknowledge by the
Club.
A temperance love feast was held in this hall
Sunday morning, at which great unanimty of
of fraternal feeling and deep interest were
manifested. Twenty-Five testimonials we're
given by members of tho Club. Mr.. j. F
Pearson, President of the Portland Reform
Club was present and spoke in eloquent lam
guage, words of counsel and announcement
long to be remembered.
A Temperance mass meeting was held at
Union Hall in the evening at which our eff
clent Vice President, Mr.. Joseph Parker pre-
sided.
1t was known that Mr. Pearson would adj
dress the meeting, and much was expected, but
cur highest hopes were more than realized, He
held the undivided attention of the large audi
ence to the close. He depicted iu most vivid
language, his life while slave to intemper-
ance and his final release from thraldom, and
read his Instrumentation of Mr. John Alco-
hoP' with good effect. This is deserving of
wide circulation. The audience were greatly
moved by his closing appeal, and thirty-two
people came forward and signed the pledge
The cause here has received a strong impetus.

Mr.. EDITOR:-I was much pleased in read

have $1,000 policy but have never had the op-
portunity to obtain it as I live so far from New
York and the expense Of going there and COM

think that com panies should have agents and
give poor industrious man chance to insure,
as we'll as a rich man.

Portland as understand they all have $4,000
policies in the company. People do say that
they had to do so before they could be trustees
and as such act as agents to canvass for life in
surance. If it is so 1 think the company did
right in having their agents well insured. Be-
sides it will be much nicer to pay premiums in
small instalments of 40 or 80 cents than to lay
out 500 at one time. No matter if do have to

plan is new and nice, though somebody told

TUEspAY.-William Harvey VS.. The Grand Trunk
Railway Company of Canada.
Count on car loads of railroad ties from War
wick Company to Portland. No special agreement
as to the rate. On arrival at Portland charged $50
per car in gold-the claimed reasonable rate being
$37 in gold; $50 was paid under protest. Suit
brought to recover difference.
Count 2)-Written contract, Nov. 1, 1871, between
the plaintiff and defendant to carry lumber and CO.
dar posts between Warwick and Portland for one
year at $33 and $34 per car. The plaintiff got out
ten thousand posts under this contract and demand
ed transportation for them. The railway company
refused to carry them at all. Harvey claims that
posts were worth 10 cents apiece at Warwick
and worth from so to So cents apiece at Port
land, and claims to recover the difference between
those values, deducting the transportation. which is
about Is cents apiece. The cause is still pending.

DEATH OF FORMER MAINE CLERGYMAN.-
Rev. Samuel Robbins, a Free Baptist clergy
man of long standing and extensive acquain-
lance, died recently at Andover, n H., at the
age of nearly so years. He was native of
Maine and entered the ministry in early life.
His opportunities for obtaining an education
were quite limited, but he had marked native

A Trip over the Ogdensburs.

The great majority of those who left the
comforts of home for the discomforts Of water
Ing and other places of fashionable resort, are
vending their way back with the conviction,
we doubt not, that there is no place like home.
Still the migrating class, those especially who
have been sojourning in the rural districts, we
think are making great mistake in folding
their tents and stealing away at this season.
We do not blame those who chose the sea-shore
for their summer resort, for we must confess il
| is rather chilly just now of a morning or an
| evening by the seaside; but those who are for
saking the country are running away from the
| grardest possible exhibitions of nature.
September and October are the months of all
| others in which to visit the country, and the
Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad is the great
highway by which to reach it, if you would en-

on any OF these fine mornings, and if on your
return you do not acknowledge that You have

promise good.
directly after leaving Portland, Sebago lake

ment brings into view something to excite the
appetite already whetted by the lake views
We will not attempt to describe the scene pre-
sented on late excursion. Words could not
do it justice. As the cars wound among the
hills, all ablaze from base to summit with the
brilliant hues of the naples and other trees
the whole SO perfectly toned as nature alone
can harmonic her tints-we entered upon
scene of perfect enchantment We revelled

By all means we would advise the unfortu-
nate "stay-at-homes" of the past summer to
take run up to the mountains over the Og-

company is to be congratulated on having such

The Bethel and its Work,

Mr.. EDITOR, Having seen many notices in
the daily papers of meetings and the good they
are doing about Portland, and not anything
about the Bethel church for seamen, 1 have
wondered why; but knowing the pastor to be a
very modest man and intent upon doing good
only and giving thanks to whom thanks should
be given, thought it duty as one who has
been benefited and owes all am and all l
hope to be to the Bethel, to say something
about it. 1t is no uncommon thing to see from
80 t. 70 men from the sea, aud others, in at
tendance at our social meetings Last Sunday
night quite number signifed their desire to
become better men. The pastor never can
know how much good is being done. for Jack
s here to-day and gone tomorrow. There is
one thing wish to say, the church and reading
room are doing much good.
