Liquor seizures this morning at Atlantic
wharf: Three barrels bottled lager marked
respectively CIV. Fl. Erskine, Miss Fannie
Trussel, VIM. Vanstone, Rockland" If rum
sellers pay for this liquor in advance thew
cannot be making very great profit, and if
brewers send it on time their speculation can
not be large, without rumsellers are unusually
honorable. They are having bad luck.

A foundation for Gen. Tillson's artesian well
windmill is being built of granite by stone
mason A. B. Weeks. The four corner timbers
to be placed upon this structure are each Al
feet long and about one foot square. His mill
is one that will not go faster with heavy
breeze than a light one, and can be run with
whatever speed required. The man is ex-
pected to arrive with the mill every day, who
will immediately arrange it in working order.
~Fhs artesian we'll is bored lin a ledge about 40
feet from the salt water, and the water is very
soft and excellent tasting. There proves to be
a leak about 20 feet from the surface of the
ledge, and it is thought water is continually
forcing itself into the bay with sufficient force
to keep the salt water from entering. The
water in the well bannot be lowered below this
point which is good evidence of the fact, and
the water would probably force itself out if it
was not for this leak. Gen. Tilson's wharf is
the scene OF business and reminds one of good
times

The house owned by Deborah Robbins,
situated on James Buffers land at Clam Cove,
was riddled last Wednesday night by unknown
subjects, while the family who inhabits the
house were visiting friends in the country
Deborah claims that his house has been on the
land 16 years-long enough to own it-and
Butler claims that the house has been on his
premises long enough for him to own it. But
Ter went to SOW some grain on his land some
time since, and was forbidden by the inmates,
which was probably the cause OF the destruc-
tive attack on the house. Windows were
broken out doors carried off, stoves smashed
up, quilts and clothing cut up with knives and
things smashed up generally all over the
premises. The question now is who are the
men that committed such mean act.
