vertiser, land asked for shelter from the cold,
which was readily granted. On being asked
where he belonged he said that he was from
Augusta In reply to further questioning,
he admitted that he had only been in Angus

While at Kennebunk he received a letter con-
tanning SIS, and a request that he should i'm

letters, containing money. Anderson and
another man went together. When they ar

to see them, and they were told the programme
which was to be carried out. They were
Joined to a crowd which were to constitute a
sort of reserved force, which was TO float
about town and be ready TO pitch in when the
time came. They were instructed 10 keep
together as much as possible without exciting
suspicion, and be on hand in case of trouble.
If there was fight a small flag was to be
displayed around which the fusonists were
to rally and attack the opposite party. While
at Augusta, Anderson was forced to pay his
own board and it was not long before the Sl5

nobody had a dollar to spare. The next
question was how to get back to Kennebunk.

of this place took teams and made them a
visit at their new house in Augusta last
Thursday afternoon. Although having but =
few hours notice Of the intended visit, beau

gave them house warming, completely MI
| ling their large home. The singing and mutual
greetings were interrupted by the agreeable
announcement for all hands to be seated for
refreshments, and cake. pies and coffee were
served in abundance, and ~ much left as
would supply as many more. Singing was
.sain resumed, and at late hour the COM
many retired leaving their best wishes that
the DR.. and his estimable lady may long en-
low their very pleasant and comfortable home.
