1t is evident that there is one man in Wells
who does not "take the papers" He drove
into this city last Monday morning with a
load of produce, and SURPRISED to find every
thing closed and the city draped in mourn
ing, inquired the cause, being still more sur
prised when told by gentleman of the death
and funeral of our President of which he
had not previously heard. -Biddeford Times.

The Journal says that Holsters have al
most entirely deserted Belfast harbor, and
those taken are too small for the market. 1t
is the opinion of those of experience that
Holsters have been fished for too much and
have been all cut up. The best Holsters now
come from Islesboro and the islands down
the bay.

Mr.. Vede Bulduc of Skowhegan. was
bringing large drove of sheep from Canada
last week, and when about two miles this
side of the Forks, Saturday morning, some
of his sheep went into the field of Mr.. John
Bean. Bean ordered them out, and Bulduc
did his best to remove them, at the same
time offering to pay any damage they did
Bean, with an oath, replied that he didn't
want any damage, and at once began an as
sault upon the drover. He was aided by his
boys, one of them man grown. and also by
his wife, who pointed a revolver at him,
threatening his life. To make the attacking
party strong enough, they called to their aid
large bulldog. which tore Mr.. Bulducs leg
very severely. The crowd also beat and
kicked him in most outrageous manner.
Two friends of his coming up interfered in
his behalf, and he was rescued.-Fortiand

A Valuable Work.

lady is soon to canvass Augusta and
kennebec county for the Gazetteer of
Maine by George J. Varney. The work is
valuable one, contains nearly 600 pages,
and in cloth the price is only $3.50. This
Gazetteer first gives descriptive, historical,
and statistical account of the State, in some
forty pages. Then follows, in alphabetical
order, each town, giving to each the space
required to show Its position, its ponds.
streams. hills, rocks, soil, productions, its
business, interesting history, statistics, etc.,
etc. Each post Office will be represented in
order with the towns. Mr.. Varney, the au-
thor, was born and educated in Brunswick and
having visited almost every part of the State
for the purpose of historical investigation or
of lectures. has the rare but requisite famil-
iarity with its towns to prepare pleasing de-
scriptons. All aliases, maps, town, county,
and State histories, geolo(1, mineralogi-
cal, and photographic fseys, tourists
guide books, and State reports in great num-
bers. have been made use of in the prepara-
ton of the articles; and communication has
been held with every city, town, and planta-
ton clerk, and numerous others, to obtain
the necessary facts.

The fruit trees in our city gardens were
never so heavily laden as at the present time.
Pears and plums are especially abundant,
and trees that have been barren for years
are now laden with juicy fruit. Our climate
seems to be gradually ameliorating, and Ken
nebec county may yet be as celebrated for its
peaches as for its apples. The pears which
thrive the best in this vicinity are the Bart
lett and Clapp's Favorite-the latter being
especially large and fine favored this year.
Maine orchadsts anticipate bonanza
from their apple crop, as the yield in other
States is insignificant. For good
display fapples, pears and plums, one needs
but to look into the gardens of Russell Eaton,
