HallOWell Local News,

Mr. George F. Clark of Loudon Hill, in
this city. suffered a serious fracture of one
of his legs on Tuesday last, by coal team
running over it. Mr.. Clark is nearly seventy
years of age, and the accident will probably
confine him to his house for several weeks.
Mr.. Minard Roberts displays 1ew and
nobby sign on his new store in American
Bank Block. and his opening of new goods
forms one Of the attractions of the season.
DR.. Chase has also moved into his new and
spacious rooms over Roberts store, where he
seems at home again, and can undoubtedly
extract teeth with much less annoyance and
suffering to himself and patients than while
confined to closer quarters across the street.
The luxurious ivy and elegant paintings once
adorning his rooms were destroyed by fire,
and it will take the Doctor a long time to re-
place them in full extent and beauty.
The Masonic fraternity now occupy their
new and elegant quarters in American Bank
Block, and find that every arrangement is
convenient and satisfactory.
The unsightlv ruins of the Old South
| church are in process of removal preparatory
| to having the foundation for a new structure
the coming season. The old bricks have
been removed from the front basement, re-
quiring much labor to separate them from
the mortar which was about as tenacious as
modern cement. When that wall was laid.
in the olden time, work was done in faithful
manner.
Messrs j. w, Bussel and E. Rowell were
drawn to serve as traverse jurors from this
city during the next term of the S. J. Court
to commence at Augusta on Tuesday next.
At the firemens gathering in Gardiner to-
dav (Fridav) the Gardiner and Hallowell
steamers will have friendly contest for the

Other companies from abroad will partici-
pate.
Bv very accommodating and judicious
arrangement the Daily Kennebec Journal is
delivered by carriers at the residences of sub
scribers in this city, soon after the arrival of
the early morning train. The efforts of the
publishers to furnish the early morning news
without delay should ensure a largely in
creased patronage in this city.
Mr.. George s. Rowell, business manager
| of the Portland Daily Advertiser, is spending
a brief vacation with his relatives and friends
in this city.
We have as vet no abatement of the 'wa-
ter famine" that affects many springs
and wells in this vicinity and the
practice of hauling water from dis
lance to supply the deficiency, has
become serious expense and trouble for
many householders and business corporations.
Heavy rains are needed also for the benefit

in the rivers to float them to their destlna-
