Nall0mell local Nems.

Mr.. Frank Toote of this city, while handling a
revolver on Monday last, accidentally discharged
one of the chambers, the ball passing through the
palm of his hand, nhctng an ugly wound.
We learn that VIM. P. Haskell, Esq, post mas
ter at West Gardiner, was assaulted and robbed
on Monday evening last. Mr. Haskell is colec-
tor and treasurer of the town, ard some time dur
ing the evening, gentleman called at his store
and Office and paid him some money. Soon after
nine o'clock he left his store, which is connected
with his residence, to go to the stable, when some
one seized him suddenly, knocked him down, and
taking his pocket book containing about one hu nd.
red dollars, turned and fled. Mr.. H.. who was
considerably bruised struggled 10 his feet and at
tempted to follow the robber. but was unable to
overtake him, and there is no certain knowledge
of the whereabouts Of the rascal. We learn that
depredations IN that neighborhood have been fire.
quent of late, and that thieving has been reduced
almost to a science There should be an organiz-
ed effort to ferret out this bold marauder and bring
him to justice. The tramp nuisance is becoming
one of fearful import, aud unless laws furnish
protection from their opportunities and crimes,
some other means of defence most be resorted to.
We learn that the prospects for a singing
school in this city the coming winter are quite
favorable ; and at an adjourned meeting, one week
from Monday evening next, the question will be
finally settled
The office building Of the Hsllowell Granite
Company on Central street has been raised sever
al feet, atording spacious basement for practical
use. THIS structure is Que ofthe cold lsndm >rks"
of the town, and was orig nally erected and used
for q female academy building; and afterward re-
modelled into double tenement house. Tits i'm
provemcnt will add greatly to the appearance and
convenience Of the premises.
The photograph business is evidently prosper
ing, as evlnced by the improve ments on Morses
building, on the corner of Water and Union
streets.
We have now four barber, or hair dressing sa-
looms in this city, rendering it entirely unnecessa-
ry for the multitude 10 wear long hair Or display
unshaven chins.
Messrs. Leigh & Wingste will soon occupy
their new and spacious store, and fill it with mer-
chandise for the wholesale and retail trade. They
always "mean business" in whatever they under
take, and success is sure to follow.
Are we to have a course of lectures the coming
winterf This is a question often asked, and who
is prepared to answer. 1t would seem that a
"home course" might be insugurated without sub
jecting the community to expense, except for hail.
printing, &C.
Tramps requiring food and lodging are becom-
ing quite frequent here, requiring the city to pro-
vide for them.
