Stage Accident Near Bryant's Pond.

Last week we mentioned a stage accident
that occurred on one of the routes connecting
with the Grand Trunk. 1t appears that the
stage, which plies regularly between Andover
and the railroad at that place, had got within
q mile and half of Bryant's Pond, when the
driver noticed that one of the wheels was
coming off from the unscrewing of the nut
There were thirteen passengers five of whom
all men-were upon the outside seats. AS
the team was ON down grade the driver was
unable to stop, and he could only warn the
passengers on top of the impending catastrophe
The outside passengers jumped as one corner
of the stage dropped, and three of the number
escaped with slight bruises. Rev. DR.. Ten
ney of Wallngford, Conn.,, was caught by one
foot and sustained severe bruises about the
head, and, it is feared, internal injuries. Mr..
Cole of Portland had one arm considerably
bruised. The inside passengers, including
ladies, were badly shaken up, but all escaped

Fryeburg
FRYEBURG, Martha's CIR
90 400


Aug. %, 1881.
OF the many campmeeting groves that the
writer has seen this is one of the most lovely,
composed mostly of splendid sugar naples SO
large as to sufficiently shade the ground
though so apart as to admit of carriage driving
through them in every direction, giving the
appearance of park rather than a forest. IL
lies on the bank of the Saco, where the bright
river makes a great sweep towards it, leaving
on the opposite shore the Fryeburg meadows
at their widest part, across which one looks d.
rectly upon kingly Kiarsarge rising in unbrok-
en- majesty from base to summit. There is
scarcely another point from which the majesty
of the far-famed peak shows to better advan-
tage. The air is soft and balmy, though con-
tanning bracing element, which reminds one
that the mountains are not far away. The
water is delicious. Many families spend the
weeks of July and August here, and more de-
lightful retreat for rest and recuperation we
have not seen. Children and invalids espec-
tally, and those to whom the salt water air is
not agreeable, find this a grateful climate
where they rapidly recruit A boarding house,
with excellent table, at moderate rates, is
maintained on the grounds presided over by
the wife of Mr.. Eben T. Nutter. There are
also many neat cottages at low rental, where
families live by themselves. Several new ones
have been erected this year. The societies OF
Fryeburg and West Baldwin have also each
put up commodious houses to be used instead
of tents during the campmeeting. A temper
ance campmeetipg, in charge of Rev. Jno.
Collins of Fryeburg, will begin Aug. 31st and
hold four days. Sept. 9TH the regular Portland
District campmeeting will open under the su-
pcrintendence of Rev. Chas. j. Clark, Presid-
ing Elder of the District, who will be assisted
by the noted "boy preacher and revivalist,
Harrison, of whose coming and labors great
expectations are awakened.
Religious services are maintained each Sab
bath, usually by some of the visiting clergy
men. Last Sabbath Rev. Dr. McKeown, of
Chestnut street church, Portland, preached to
good sized audience, notwithstanding heavy
shower at the hour of service. Take it all in
all this is summer resort that for beauty, rest
and enjoyment can scarcely be surpassed.

THE ETHANS' RETURN.
Home Again from a Foreign Shore.
The Burlington Free Press spoke of the tri
IF ba Fthor 1lope 20 Dorflon5 nc fol1ovui.

The Burlington Free Press spoke of the trip
of the Ethan Aliens to Portland as follows:
The Ethans were due home from their Port
land trip at 7.30 o'clock last night, but that
hour came and went and couple more after
it and no train made its appearance-the delay
being SO long, in fact, as to cause no end of
misgivings of disaster. In the meantime the
skies clouded over and the rain fell in torrents
and with a steady application to business that
gave evidence of very considerable earnest
ness of purpose. Under its watery eloquence
the crowds that had turned out to welcome
the returning firemen melted away rapidly,
though the fraction that remained constituted
a large assemblage. AT last the train rolled in
and the Ethans found at the depot ready to
receive them goodly turnout of their brother
fremen, all the companies being we'll repre-
sented, and the City Band. OF course the
firemen were not to be put out by little
water, and so they toddled around somewhat
curtailed line of march as gaily as if under
cloudless skies. At Bank corner and at the
Volunteers and Boxers houses there was
handsome display of fireworks, and flying flags
and general illumination gave token of the
Ethans' welcome home. 1t would have been
a very nice reception had the clerk of the
weather been in good humor, and IN spite OF
that parsonage the reception was hearty and
cordial. The Ethans one and all speak in
glowing terms of the pleasures of their excur-
sion and are unstinted in their praise of the
people of Portland and the right royal hospi-
tality received at their hands.
