the hunting commenced. Amer consider
able travelling, signs OF game were dis
covered leading To some water near by,
and II was decided that the surc., and
easiest way to secure the game was TO
secrete themselves and wal, for the deer 10

The . lowing is deserved compl-
menl to an Ellsworth citizen from New
Hampshire paper OF recent date:
Few strangers who visit Washington
are aware OF the existence OF the Navy
PAY Office" which is located 10 the plain
brick building on the northeast corner OF
New York Avenue and 18th streets, and
which ]. IN fact one OF the most important
branches OF the public service. From this
Office are good bids or proposals. for all
material used ia the Navy Yards. and VA
rous branches OF the Navy Department.

monthly. The chic. OF the Office is Pay
Inspector. J. Adams Smith, a native Of
Machas, Me. but whose present place of
residence is Ellsworth. Maine. This gen
t!eman has FULLY merited the popularity
which now attends him by his courtesy
and kindness OF heart, while fer efficiency,
he has few equals in the service. Com

The Wig pays the following tribute
to the memory of Tobias Roberts, Esq, Of
Bar Harbor. whose death was announced
10 the AMERICAN of last week
The death OF Mr.. Roberts will be learned
with sorrow by very large number of &C.
Quaintances and friends, not only ia thi.
state. but among the travelling public In
all parts OF the country. For many years
he has been the most prominent citizen of
Bar Harbor. as well as one Of the largest
property holders; and his long come elton
with the hotel business rendered his name
and self familiar to those who have ire
quented that delightful summer resort.
Mr.. Roberts was the landlord of the old
"Agsmont." when 1t was the only public
house at the barber, and when the visitors
there comprised few people from this
city and vicinity. His house continued the
most prominent, until he retired from the
business some years ago, and 10 all the
wonderful growth Of the place. Uncle
Tobias although no longer engaged in
the more active pursuits, was regarded as
one Of the institutions Of the place and held
in high esteem by all.
