FouI Play Suspected.

Sunday, Oct ~, four young men of Hart
ford, a town in Oxford county, started on a
cunning excursion. They had gone forty rods
into piece Of woods, when. under the root Of
an up-.urned tree, they saw basket, beneath
which was another, and under the latter was
pair of new shoes, slashed in a remarkable
manner, pair of new knit drawers smeared
with blood and badly cut, and a leaf torn from
Greenleaf's arithmetic. Near the log was a
single one cent coin. This remarkably discov-
cry SO reused the superstition of the young men
that they beat rapid retreat Last week R.
f. Gordon of Livermore, living near the Hart
ford line, made an examination and found
matters as above described. The baskets were
half-bushel bale baskets, of peculiar construc-
ton, such as have never been seen in that re-
gion before. Since July an offensive smell has
been noticed in that piece Of the woods. and it
is now proposed to make thorough search and
see whether the mystery can be solved Near
the place fire had been kindled, and a teapot
partly filled with tea grounds, with its nose
melted of, was found.

The kennebunk Failures.

KENNEBUNK, Nov. 9.
The business Of Kennebunk and Kennebunk-
port has been considerably paralyzsd by the
suspension of four shipbuilders and the retire
ment to Lake Village, N. H., Of two of our
manufacturing Interest, but we are pleased to
learn thai Capt. Nat Thompson is to finish the
two vessels now on the stocks in his yard,
which will help out our mechanics very consid-
eraby this winter. Our merchants are more
or less affected by the suspension of our build
ers, in Consequence of being unable to collect
their deb:s, bat with little indulgence of
creditors and confidence again restored and
revival in ship-building interests, we shall
thrive as heretofore. Thompson & Titcomb
have promised creditors showing in few
days. and every one here feels confident that
they are able to pay in full, but must have

noticed the extensive tract of land lying on the
west side of North street on Munjoy Hill, ard
wondered why such slightly and beautiful

would have been likely to have taken them. On

From George Ticknor Curtis, Esq, N. ".
l have used the Raactionary Health-Lift
Machine for nearly year, and consider it the
best mode Of taking special exercise that 1
have ever known. Its effect in improving
appetite, digestion and sleep, is wonderful 1t
is particularly valuable for the refreshment it
affords to all who work with their brains, in
whatever form Of occupation; restoring at
once the nervous energy when exhausted by
labor or any other excitement. He who can
lie down to sound sleep after an exhausting
day Of toll, and can rise to another day of
work, morally certain that he has the means of
securing another night of repose, has made an
important acquisition, which am persuaded is
within the reach Of any one who will avail
himself of the benefits of this machine.
