NORTH VASSALBORO'.

While excavating for the foundation for the
addition to the VassalbOro' Mills, the work
men struck several old tan watts in which they
found about 100 sides of sole leather, all in
prime condition. 1t is supposed to have been
there not less than forty years. This will be
good picking for the lawyers, as several par
ties have already laid claim to the property,
and sought legal advice. The company seem
as vet to have the inside track.-The series
of concerts at Citizens Hall, last week, were
very good. Prof. Bill is very successful as a
teacher of music. and as an organist is unsur-
passed. The Misses Mary and Isabella Bill
show rare culture of voice. and their duets
were very fine. The character song by Bessie
Williams and another by Artie and Alice
Canham, were exceptionally good and were
heartily applauded.-Mr. Evans of China,
father of Supt. Evans of the mills, met with a
severe accident last Wednesday. While un-
loading a lot of sash at j. c. Evans new
house, his team ran away, throwing him off
and injuring him about the head very severe
ly. He was picked up insensible, but is now
doing well. The sash and glass we're badly
broken, but the team was secured without

DUNNED TO DESPERATION.


David Acorn is So years of age, and halls
from Waldoboro', Me. For some time he has
hired rooms in the lodging house of Michael
HAYES, II Endcot street, for which he agreed
to paw 50 per week. The rent falls due this
morning. bu. Hayes, according to Acorn's
story, dunned him all day Saturday for the
money, even going so far as to follow him to
the Broadway extension bridge from Endi-
colt street Last evening he again asked
for his pay. which worked upon Acorn's
feelings that he seized razor and attempted
to cut his own throat. Had it not been for
the extreme dullness of the weapon
he would have succeeded. As it was, the un-
fortunate man succeeded in infictng wound
at least three inches long and quite deep on
the right side af the throat, narrowly missing
the iupular vein. He was taken to the lst
police station by Sergt. Pierce and Patrol
men Alley, where DIR. Elliot attended him.
Acorn took the affair quite calmly, laughing
and ioking while the doctor was dressing the
wound He said that he regretted having
made the attempt-Boston Herald.

promises to be the most successful one in the
history of that admirable institution. If all
the young men enter who have made applica-
tion the term will begin with over 100 pu-

cellence of the college is the fact that many
of the graduates have secured remuneratve

On Thursday oflast week the inmates OF the
Maine Industrial School for Girls, in Hallo'
we'll, about forty in number, accompanied py
the lady officers of the institution, enjoyed
a delightful excursion to Hammond's Grove,
on the border of Cobbossecontee Lake, where
a picnic dinner was served, and the va
rious sports of boating, swinging, croquet,
ETC., were indulged in to the unalloyed graft
hcation of all concerned. Pinkhams blg
teams were obtained by the manager to trans
port the happy company to and from the
grove; and we venture to say that more
orderly and we'll conducted excursion
has not visited that romantic spot

ing to witness the expression OF the
happy, merry faces of the girls as they en-
tered into the full enjoyment of the pleasures
OF the occasion; and the influence of these
periodical indulgences, away from the more
exacting restraints of everyday life is always
marked and salutary. The day was cool and
comfortable. with no dust or burning sun

Kennebec county had sad suicide Sunday
afternoon. Mrs. David Connor of South
Windsor, drowned herself in bog near the
house, tine bottom of which was covered to
the depth of five or six inches with stagnant
water. Before starting from the house to
commit the rash deed, she told her only son,
boy about twelve years of age, that she
was going out to look at an apple tree to see
how many apples it had upon it. The boy
asked if he might go with her. but she de-
clined to allow him to accompany her. Mrs.
Connor was about forty-fve years old, and
was a very fine woman and universally
esteemed. Several years ago she lost
daughter. and last July her husband and re-
naming daughter died, leaving her alone
with her little son. The demise Of her loved
ones produced profound melancholy
and in a fit of detection she sought oblivion
by drowning
