Albert G. Blaisdeil had his leg broken
and the snkls dislocAted1 while handling
timber with cant-dog In Milliken's Mil
Saturday. He was taken to his home and
Drs. Hodgkins and SWEET called. Mr..
Blaisdell is . millwright BY trade aud Is
regarded as an Industrious add excellent
mechanic. He has the sympathy Of large
( circle Of friends and acquaintances.
-Ex-Mayor Young has taken up HE
residence at his fine farm In Trenton. He
has resided in this city thirty-two years
/, and as citizen he will be greatly missed.
Politically. however, we can spare him
with a good degree Of resignation. His
| loss to the Democracy, as well as that Of
Mr.. +. II. Greedy who has removed to Bar
Harbor. will be greatly felt. As politi-
cal organizer Mr.. Young has no equal In
the Democratic party In this county.
A sad and fatal accident occurred In
this city on Wednesday last, March 18th,
a son Of Mr. George Brooks named Stephen
ii. while leading q horse from water was
violently kicked by the animal on the right
side of the face. A deep flesh wound was
made. and the force of he blow produced
injury to the brain from the result Of
which death ensued on Friday evening,
after over forty hours Of Inconsistencies.
The lad who was fourteen years Of age
was regarded By all those who knew him
rs one Of unusual promise. This sudden
and unexpected loss Is especially trying to
the family OF Mr.. Brooks from Its coming
so soon amer the death OF their eldest son
Eugene from typhoid fever about six
months ago. In this second bereavement
Mr.. and Mrs. Brooks have the sympathy
Of the whole community.
AS will be seen by their advertisement
the young ladies and gentlemen Of the Con-
gregational Society propose giving an CO.
tertainment Thursday and Friday even
ings and Friday Afternoon April 10th and
llth. under the direction OF Mr.. Bartlett OF
Boston. This gentleman has n reputation
for gctiin; up first-class entertainments
which Is not confined to New England.
The Detroit Post says Of him In connection
with an exhibition similar TO the one pro-
posed here.
There had been quite . pleasursble
flntter of anticipation concerning this
event. and the audience by uninstakable ev-
licences of approval manifested its keen ap-
probation OF the charming and unique en-
tertainment which Mr.. Bartlett had de-
vised. THIS work. for which the gentle
man has developed such peculiar aptitude
is one bristling with difficulties not to be
appreciated by those unfamiliar with the
intricate details Of stage management.
The controlling power must be person
who not only possesses creative skill and
the incest appreciation OF the combustion
OF Hight, shadow and color, but who can
command implicit obedience to ins,ruc-
tons. There Is always more or less con
fusion and disorder behind the scenes.
even when professional talent is employed,
but with amateurs who are susceptible TO
nervousness and entirely unfamiliar with
the work Ia hand. the condition OF AFFAIRS
is simply chaotic. That Mr.. Bartlett con-
bines the taste and skill OF the artist with
the hrmness OF the good disciplInarian was
apparent BY the manner In which he dis
charged his arduous duties last evening"
