There was quite serious shooting ARRAY
at Jackson Brook Thursday. 1t seems thai
a white man by the name of McCluskcy and
"a negro. whose name we did not learn, g"'
into dispute which resulted in free fight.
The negro being the best man phy sicallv he
soon succeeded in getting the other fellow
down and began to punish MIN pretty severe
~. As McCluskey did not relish this kind
of treatment he drew a revolver and shot the
negro in the face. The ball struck him in
the cheek. and passing down lodged in his
neck. The wounded maa belonged in Calais
and he took the train for that place where he
proposed to have the ball extracted. A war
rant was taken out for McCluskey.- Bcayor

Blow the Grcenback trumpet and the walls
of modern Jerusalem, the city of bondhod-
ers, and national banks will fall to the
ground. q. w. >.
The above is from the columns of the Ma
tional Tribune. We judge by its classic al
fusion, breezy tone and the initials that it
comes from the pen Of Mr.. q. W. Sims Of
Hallowell, who has recently been rewarded
with the position of carpenter at the Insane
Hospital. Now, Mr.. Sims may be first
rate carpenter, a good city marshal, an in
corruptible new spapcr canvasser. but he APP
pears to be deficient in Bible knowledge. In
the above paragraph he would have us under
stand that the walls of Jerusalem fell at the
sound of the trumpet Our Bible tells us
that an accident of the kind happened to the
walls of Jericho. A little Sunday school in
struction wouldn't be a bad thing for Brofder
Sims.
