Joseph E. perle4.

Several days ago we noticed the death of
Joseph Ell. Perley, a retired merchant of your
city and an obituary of the deceased. He was
born in the town of Gray in the year 1902 and
was consequently nearly 70 years of age. He
was the son sof Abraham Perley who did his
country service as a soldier 10 the war of 1872
and was stationed for time at Cape Elizabeth.
He was known as one OF the best farmers in
Gray and was the grandson of Rev. Samuel
Perley who settled as the first and last Presby
terian minister in Gray in 1891, who, after his
retirement from the ministry, held offices of
trust under the State government of Massa-
chuse tits and represented his town in the Gem
eral Court. He was also direct descendant
of Allan who settled in Bedford in 1884,
The subject of this notice in early life was
engaged in the cattle trade and held sever al
offices of trust in his native town. Afterwards
he removed to what is now Deering and from
there to Portland where he with John Russell
of Gray, established the well-known firm of
Perey & Russell which he continued thirty
six years, and left a reputation for probity and
fair-dealing above reproach. Mr. Russell died
several years since and the firm was succeeded
in the mercantile business by the sons of Mr.
Russell.
BY his first wife Mr. Perley left a son who
resides in Wisconsin and is large owner of
timber lands. In the war of the Rebellion anoth-
er son, Capt. Perley, laid down his life for his
| country. He also leaves a widow, son and
| three daughters, one of whom is Grace Perley,

Early History Of Gray.


The first settler in Gray, then known as
Newtown, afterwards as the plantation OF New
Boston, located upon $50 acres of land little
below the Maine Central depot, and built a
small log house thereon in 1879. No settle
ment had been made in the adjoining towns OF
Windham nor New Gloucester That settler
was famous hunter, and all there is to mark
of him to-day is a clump of cedars near the
late residence of Thomas Morse. He had
been out hunting and looking after his traps
up what is now known as Collier branch.
Somewhere on his way hepulled up few small
cedar bushes. At this point he shot bear and
laid down his cedars, which were covered over
with leaves, while skinning the bear. These
cedars took root and now are the only ones of
natural growth in town.
The settler hunted and trapped up the Col
lier branch while his neighbors, the Indians,
took the other branch of the stream. They
lived on friendly terms with him until the
grantees of New Gloucester began to encroach
on their hunting grounds. Then the hunter
wisely left and the Indians drove off all of the
other intruders. Soon after the proprietors
made an attempt to settle enough of the land
comply with the terms of the grant, built at
fort, enclosed it with pickets, inside of which
were several log houses, one of which
was used as a meeting house. They cleared
land, built roads and bridges and laid out lots.
This fort was near the farm now occupied by
r. S. Cobb. These early settlers were paid
servants of the king, who had procured the
grant, had no title to the land, nor did they
want any. The Indian did not care to be mo-
Tested by them, and in Indian style gave them
leave to vacate. Then all left bat an idiotic
boy, John Pennell, whom the Indians had left
on their hands. He was too mean to kill, and
as it is trait of the red man never to modest a
fool he saddled himself into the employment
of a squaw who was in disgrace with the In
dams and lived in wigwam near the Goose
Pond,n which is indebted to him for its name.
The couple lived there, brought up children
and on the breaking out of the Revolutionary
war the boys enlisted, marched to Cambridge,
and after some service around the camp asked
for furlough. The commander filled one out
for 999 years. In 1751 another fort, meeting
house and log houses for settlers were built.

a Cool Veteran.

The Lewiston journal says that Mr.. Jarvin
Witter of that city is a veteran of the Mexican
war. Mr.. Witter was mere boy OF seven
teen years when he went to Mexico and served
under Gen. Scott. In the battle of Buena
Vista he won a terrible scar on his forehead,
which he will carry to his grave. The order
came to "charge bayonets,' and young Witter
was in the column that rushed forward on the
Mexicans. A Mexican cavalry officer struck
him across the head with big sabre. A
wound was made extending across his head
and down his face, destroying the sight of one
eye. Witter parried the force of the blow
with his gun, and the Mexicans sabre left
another scar on his arm. Had the blow come
with full force Writer'S head would have been
split. He gets pension for the loss OF his eye.
"What became of the Mexican officer who
sabred your" was asked after hearing Writer'S
story. 81 dunno; they say they found gun
No. 4S sticking in him. l believe that was the
number of my gun" said the veteran serenely.

MUSIC AND TIE DRAMA.
FUN ON THE BRISTOL.

FUN ON THE BRISTOL.
Portland Theatre reopened last evening for
the season of 1882. There was an audience
present of fair proportions, and much delight
was expressed at the new decorations and the
improvements The new act-drop, by La Moss,
is much more restful to the eye than the old.
The border curtain remains as before, but the
drop itself is painted to represent light drab
drapery, bordered with heavy gold fringe,
caught up in a double festoon at the centre.
The flies are painted in lighter colors, SO that
the stage is much brighter than formerly. The
old attaches were all in their places last night,
and it seemed like old times to see Mr.. Grim
mer as leader of the orchestra
The play selected for the occasion was "Fun
on the BRISTOL which proved such success
last season. AS well known this play is
thread on which to string good variety enter
tainment. As before Mr.. Sheridan was the
life of the piece. His Widow O'Brion kept
the audience convulsed. He was suffering
somewhat from the effects OF the sudden
change in the weather but, for all that, Igave
great satisfaction. The company has lost sew
eral of those who made such hits last spring,
noticeably Mark Smith, and the gentleman
who took the part of Jerry. While perhaps
their successors hardly equal them still they
are very good. The songs, jokes and dances
were ali encored ''Fun on the BRISTOL will
be played tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow
matinee.
We cannot forego the opportunity to speak
of Mr.. Grimmer's orchestra. They played
four selections admirably, Keller Bela's
Overture Romantique," Waldtentels
Fruhlings Kinder waltzes. Bals Baby Polka,
and new medley by Grimmer. The latter
is SO arranged that the titles OF the melodies
played make most amusing medley OF them
selves.

A TERRIBLE ENCOUNTER.
A Panther Attacks Hunter in the Woods
near Washington.

On Monday last two young men while hunt
ing for cartridges in the vicinity of the Medo-
mac Pond near Washington, in Knox county,
came suddenly face to face with one of the
most savage and ferocious animals of the
northern woods, namely, a puma or North
American panther 1t was hard to tell which
was the most frightened, the sportsmen or the
animal
The panther after giving vent to terrible
growI, slowly retreated when one of the
sportsmen, Prof. A. i. Jones, a resident OF
Washington, raised his gun and discharged i
at the animal, the shot taking effect in its
side
This only served to inflame his anger. Turn
ing quickly he came with mighty bounds
straight towards the sportsmen. They had
only time to fire one shot when the animal
was upon them. With leap he crushed
Prof. Jones to the ground, when his compan.
ion, e. b. Stickney, an amateur sportsman OF
HalloW ell, with wonderful quickness inserted
shell into his gun and placing the muzzle
against the animals head discharged it with
deadly effect killing the animal instantly.
Without doubt Mr.. Jones owes his life to
the GOODNESS and nerve of his friend, having
fortunately escaped with few scratches on
the lower limbs and large cash in his breast,
which will leave a scar that he will carry to
his grave. A number of the farmers of this
neighborhood have lately found the mangled
remains of several of their sheep and lambs.
That probably was the animal that destroyed
them. The panther measured six feet and
four inches from tip to tip, having claws near
ly two inches long.-Kennebec Journal.
