Last Saturday afternoon about 9
o'clock a runaway team came to grief
just by the Post Office, the occupants
being thrown out, but not badly hurt.
LOST Last Saturday night, presum-
ably near the Canadian Customs Office,
small square safe key. The finder
will be suitably rewarded by leaving
it at this office.

employee in Hobson's Mill, about fl We
miles from here, was struck on the face

figured. ...s

September Term of our County Court
which convenes at Guildhall next
Tuesday.
The summer of 1879 is practically at
an end, though we may yet have few
days of sultry weather, and are pretty
sure to have many warm autumn
days that are as charming and exhila-
rating as the best or brightest of the
Summer. 1t has been season of
marked and sudden changes of weather
with very severe storms and many
warm spells, though on the whole a
most comfortable and remarkably
healthy one.
Our readers should remember that
the celebrated DR.. Smyth will be at
the Island Pond House next Wednes-
day. AS his stay here is limited to
two weeks it behooves all who intend to
consult him, to do so early. Enough
has been said in our columns to con-
vince the public of DR.. Smyth's ability
to cure diseases (of his speciality of
long standing, and the testimonials
published elsewhere fully substantiates
this. Read them.
An interesting feature of the Coos
and Essex counties agricultural fair to
be held at Lancaster next week will be
the Walking Match. Several we'll
known pedestrians have signified their
intention to enter into the contest and
from all accounts it will be one of the
most enjoyable sights of the whole
exhibition. We published challenge
a short time since from gentleman
residing i'll CRANKY who wished to test
his powers as walkist. He can now
have the chance for which he so al
IDENTIFY longed. Step to the front
Willard.
We are glad to report that our peo-
pie are to have an opportunity of
seeing the wonderful Telephone, wit
ness its working and also listen to a
lecture upon it, by DR.. II. A. Cutting
of Lunenburgh, whose articles for the
HERALD have been read with so much
interest. OF DR.. Cuttings ability to
lecture on this subject we need say
nothing, for his reputation as a public
speaker is too firmly established
throughout our State to need any
words of commentator from us. Full
particulars will be published in our
next issue.
Three new counterfeits have APP
peared since August 1, viz Ones on
the National Eagle Bank of Boston,
and fives on the Globe National Bank
of Boston and the Dedham National
Bank of Dedham, Mass. These coun-
terfeits are prepared by Photographic
process and will be very dangerous
until the public is acquainted with
the peculiarities that distinguish them.
An examination of the seal will show
that the lines have all been black,
and that the red colored covers the
whole surface of the seal on the genu-
inc notes, while the paper can be
distinctly seen throughout the red
| lines.
Of the part Island Pond took in the
recent temperance picnic at North
Stratford, the correspondent of that
place to the Moauataileer thusly reports
1.-THE speeches by Rev. Mr.. Torrey
and DR.. G. g. Adams were highly ap-
preciative, edifying and acceptable.
The browning entertainment of the
occasion however, was voted to be the
address of Ex-Lieut Gov. Geo. N. Dale,
who came last on the stand, remained
longest, and who retired therefrom
amid the deafening cheers of an au-
dience, which, to say the least of it,
was respectable in size and enthusi-
astically appreciative. 1t was with
reluctance and regret, that the happy
assemblage heard the sweet closing
strains of the Island Pond Band, and
turned their radiant faces from the
scene of their glad communion and
festivity." Glory enough for one day.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT Mr.. Wallace
w. Wilmot, sawyer in Fitzgerald's mill
met with a most painful accident last
Saturday. 1t appears that he was
wiping some oil from the friction pully
which runs the "haul up wheel, when
his right hand was caught and pulled
