The Late Can't. John w. Dix

MR.. EDIToR:-I know the late Capt. John
w. Dix and all his family we'll. They are
honored in this community, and loved by all
who know them. The daughters Sisters of
Capt. j. W. d. were among our most charm
ing women. One of them was Mrs. Charles
Brooks, of Boston. One was Mrs. William
Cutler, one Of them was Mrs. John D. Gard
ner, one was Mrs. Joseph S. Bailey, and one,
unmarried, survives.
Capt. John W. had that kind of courage
that knowns no fear, never thinks of danger,
any danger, as personal. Always with ready
hand to help friend or stranger in need of the
help of strong arm, with never a thought of
personal danger or other consequence to him.
self.
While he was lying in the harbor of Hava-
va one day his eye caught sight of a signal of
distress flying on ship half mile away. He
saw that it was mutiny His gig was lying
alongside. He called away for the boat; half
dozen sailors tumbled in-Capt. Dix at the
tiller with only Delaying pin in his hand that
he had caught up as he jumped into the boat.
NOW give, way, boys, give way for your lives,
give way" and the light boat flew over the
waters.
There was bloody fight going on upon the
deck of the stranger, in which the mutineers
were having the advantage. Capt. Dix was
not seen to approach, SO intent were all parties
in the attack and defence The first glimpse
they had of him was when he bounded over
the rail upon the deck, and with his Delaying
pin rushed into the middle of the fight. A
sailor aimed blow at him with cutlass,
which Capt. Dix lodged like cat, and laid
the ruffian upon the deck with a we'll
placed blow of his Delaying pin, and selling
the cutlass from the stunned sailor soon drove
the mutineers below with the aid of the ships
officers On this occasion he narrowly escaped
an ugly, if not fatal, wound from great knife
thrown at him by Spaniard that went like
flash by his neck at which it was aimed and
stuck fast i'll the mainmast..
Lying one day in the harbor of Matanzas an
English ship was practising gunnery by firing
at an empty cask that was moored mile
away. The Englishman had been blazing
away at the target for long time, the shot
flying wild every time The crews of all the
ships were attracted by the firing, and were
amused spectators of Johnny's bad gunnery.
Capt. Dix was also leaning upon the taffrai,
looking on. By and by he aid:-"Mr Blank
the mate) load the port bow gun with single
shot" ''All ready, SIR Capt. Dix tripped
along to the gun, peeped over it for momeut
at the cask; bang! and the cask was knocked
into kindling wood! Shouts Of laughter and
huzzahs went up from the many ships whose
crews had been looking on N. d.

A Sad Death.

Mr.. Augustus w. Carter, a member of the
firmof Eastman, Hunting & Carter, left his
home in Boston, on a business trip through
Maine and New Hampshire a week ago last
Monday. He wrote from Augusta that he
would be home Saturday night, but though his
Baggage arrived, he did not. Sunday afternoon
his body was found in the river at Dover, N.
II. He undoubtedly lost his life by falling
from the train while it was crossing the bridge
There is no thought that the cause of his death
was other than accidental, as there were no
marks on the body, and his watch and money
were found in the pockets. He was IS years
old and unmarried; his social relations were
pleasant; he was prosperous in business and of
irreproaehable character

Good Advice.
The Boston Journal, speaking of Memoria

The Boston Journal, speaking of Memorial
Day and the Grand Army, says:
The veterans are getting to be so in fact as
we'll as name. Who will take their places?
Will the old Grand Army be permitted to die
with the death of the last veteran? We trust
not. That the veterans, whose ranks will be
very thin in May, 1891, may have successors,
why do they rot consider the proposition of
forming organizations of young men and boys,
who will be sure to see that Memorial Day is
observed and that their fervid patriotism is
transmitted by precept and example? This
could be accomplished, it appears to us, by
each member of the order selecting his son or
other relative to take his place when he has
passed away. The selection could be made at
once and the young men and boys so selected
could be formed into organizations under the
direction and instruction of the veterans them
selves The suggestion has been made in other
forms before-why is it not considered by the
Grand Army as matter of first Importance"
Bosworth Post recognized the above fact this
year by delegating sons and daughters Of Nom
bers to decorate the graves in the cemeteries
except Evergreen.
