Portland Directory.

Our notice concerning the city directory was
correct-and still it was not the whole truth.
B. Thurston & Co. who have owned one-half
of the copyright for more than thirty years
and published sixteen volumes of the direc-
tory in company with Sylvester B. Beckett,
have not sold their interest in the work. W.
A. GreeEough of Boston, who purchased S.
B. Beckett's interest, is wholly engaged in
publishing directories, twenty-six different
books being issued by him regularly, which in
cudes all the Maine directories except Port
land, and now he has half interest in that.
The next Portland directory will be issued as
heretofore, from the Office of B. Thurston &
Co., in the spr ng of 1882. The work of num-
bering the streets being now completed. it is
desirable to have new directory, and the can
vass will begin in January for new eoition to
be issued early in the spring. Every person in
the city should see to having the right number
upon his door before Jan. 1, 1882.

Portrait Bust.

In Davis window can be seen a fine portrait
bust by Mr. Fred Shaw, of the Falmouth
Hotel. The pose of the head is excellent, the
features clearly and distinctly cut, the hair j:
graceful and wavy, and we should judge the
face was an excellent likeness. The bust wal

HANCOCK COT SrY.


A heinous crime came near being perpetrat-
en- at Franklin few days since. Ii appears
that party of hunters had been bounding deer
and while they were absent for short time
a quarter of meat which they had been using
was poisoned. Fortunately before they cooked
any more of it, without mistrusting what was
done, they gave piece to their hound-a very
valuable one-and in a short time he was dead.
This way of suppressing deer killing is not to
be encouraged.
KENNEBEC COUNTY.
At the Hallowell granite quarry, Granite
Hill, they are good deal elated at the big
piece of granite which they have just quarried
there, under the direction of B. j. Richards,
the overseer. The granite weighs 100 tons, and
the cavity it once filled. This large mass is to
be made into one of the four large figures
which go to make up the Pilgrim Fathers
monument at Plymouth, Mass. In the cut
ting of the rock it will require the services OF
four or five men working at it steadily for nine
months and will cost some $1,000. AT this
quarry they have now in use two steam drills,
and both of them together will do the work
of twenty men.

Der. the sons of Mrs Caroline E. Damon of
West Auburn, who inherited legacy of about
$4,000 from her brother, A. X. Shurtleff of

incompetent to take care of her property, and
petitioned that guardian be appointed The
municipal officers of Auburn, consisting of the
mayor and aldermen, held an inquiry into the
case and reported to the Judge of Probate that
in their Judgment, Mrs4Damon was incom-
petent to take care of her property by reas on
of mental incapacity. A hearing was held
before Judge Wing, at the November term of
the probate court at Auburn. There were
few witnesses. Mrs Damon represented that
she thought she was able to do her own BUSH
ness, but if the court thought best to appoint a
guardian, she desired that her brother, Mr..
Sylvan Shurtleff of Portland be appointed.
The court complied with her request and APP

A Remarkable Case.

An accident occurred on Monday at Ramey,
Clarion County, which proved to be one Of the
most extraordinary cases ever recorded In the
history of surgery or medical Jurisprudence.
James Gaupell, French Canadian employed
at Ramey's mill, fell from q trestle about
twelve feet to the ground. After recover
ing from the shock resulting from the fall, he
was unable to move his head, and DR.. Ed
wards, attending physician, discovered that
the neck was dislocated and some of the
bones broken; but it was evident that the
doctor reset and put the fractured neck
In position, and set about devising means
to put it in place until the broken bones
and confused l!gaments attain their normal
condition. To this end muslin bandage three
inches wide was wrapped tightly around the
neck, and to it were attached two Tugs, one on
either side. To these rope was fastened and
run over pulley fixed to the ceiling of the
room. A bucket was suspended on the other
end of the rope and in 1t were placed various

trivance as occasion may require by simply
reaching to the bucket and removing or adding
one or two weights. He remains in sitting
posture, and should any slight change of posi-
ton occur, the tension of the rope will still
support the weight of the head. With these
appliances for his support, the unfortunate
man will have to remain practically in the
same position until the injured parts become
united or death ends the case.-Putsbur0h

A Story Of Bret Harte.

DR.. Dubois, our Consul at AK la
Chapelle. who has just returned to Eu-
rope, is to be credited with the following
story about Bret Harte, which Mr.. Du-
bois told at New York dinner table
the other night. In speaking of COM
pliments one day. Bret Harte said he
would give the history of the greatest
compliment which he himself had ever
received since he had attained any dis
tinction as an author. One time, when
he had occasion to take the trip from
San Francisco to Oregon, he reached
the boat just as it was about to move
of, and without having made any pre-
vious application for stated DOM accom-
mediation on board. Fortunate in be-
ing assured of his destination at least,
which it was necessary he should gain
without detention, on q required day,
he proceeded Immediately to the ticket
Office on the boat, and inquired Of the
agent there if he could obtain . berth
for the night. The agent ON this occa-
sion was . rather curt, gruff fellow,
who made it his special pride to give
all information 10 anxious or inquiring
passengers in about as disagreeable
manner as men in his position can very
we'll assume under such circumstances.
There are NO staterooms for any one

.sThere is no berth here for Bret

rough answer, and the card was handed
back.

exclaimed . voice behind the writer Of
that celebrated story.
Bret Harte turned and perceived Q
tough-looking miner with pistols peep
ing out Of his belt awaiting his reply.

The miner took the card from Harte,

Robbing an Editor.

Soon after the completion of the plank
road between Detroit and Lansing, q
period of twenty-seven or twenty-eight
years ago, the editor of q newspaper To-
Gated about halfway between started
for Detroit one evening on the wagon
of teamster. After travelling about an
hour the vehicle was stopped by high
way robber. The teamster shelled out
about twelve dollars, but when the edi-
tor showed up the ''pot'' only reached
fifty cents.
"You've hidden your money in your
boots!' shouted the robber. and he
made the editor pull them of. No more
cash being found, the robber insisted
that coat and vest should come OF for q
close search, but at the end of . search
he angrily demanded:
What sort of q man are you to sct
out on a journey with only fifty cents in
your pocket?''

The robber presently moved of into
the woods, and as the vehicle once more
rolled over the plank the editor rubbed
his hands together and chuckled:
