Dr. Shaw has recently made val.
liable addition to his very extensive
museum. 1t consists of two teeth
and a part of jaw bone, evidently
belonging to the same animal, which
are remains of some animal belong
ing to species that lived before the
Flood. The teeth, neither one of
which is entire, weigh six and half
and seven and half pounds, while
the bone, being about a third part of
the lower jaw, weighs twenty-five or
thirty pounds. The teeth and bone
were all found in this county, but
some distance apart, lying in the
bed of stream among the rocks,
evidently having been washed out of
the earth and rolled along the bed Of
the stream.

Ellis, one Of the Ashland murder
ers, made confession some time ago,
which it seems he says was mot all
a confession" He now claims that
neither himself, Kraft nor Neale had
anything to do with the crime
There was no earthly reason for him
to make a confession duplicating
himself and two other innocent men,
in the first place, but there is every
reason now for him to make con-
fession that would save his own neck
and the necks Of his co.murderers.
1t may be that this confession is on
ly an afterthought based upon De-
tective Burnett's theory that the men
were innocent. Altogether the case
is one of extraordinary brutality and
OF extraordinary confessions.

Portland Honestly.

B. S. Osborne write as follows in the Nauti-
cal Gazette:
A little incident occurred to me this morn
ing, which must jot down to the credit of the
boys of Portland, and especially to two honest
bows of that city. 1 had been on board of
steamer to look around, and in coming up the
gang plank probably disarranged my coat SO
that my long pocket-book was disturbed, and
eventually fell out of my pocket. At least
half hour elapsed before L missed it. In COM
pany with friend, hastily retraced my steps
hoping to find it, but having given it up for
lost. We met two young lads, who evidently
read Alright my mission. One OF them spoke
up as soon as we got near him: Mister, have
you lest anything?" "You bet / have" was
the quick reply. "Well," said the lad, 81
have found something and if your description
is right you can have it" 1t was large red
morocco wallet, well filed with valuable pa
pers.u But before could finish my descrlp-
wallet and handed it to me. In my excite
ment, I failed to ask the lad his name, al
though, / rendered my grateful thanks,a and
gave him monied reward. which, when
handed 1t to him, ! said, Are you satlshed
with that, my lad?" "Oh, yes sir" he replied,
"a quarter Of dollar would have satisfied
mel My only regret is that l was so confused
that did not obtain his name and that OF his
companion.
Now have recorded the deed of an honest
Portland DOy, l. cannot refrain iTO1l tohAhS !"
story of Portland man, which came to me SO
straight that its truth cannot be questioned
Or ce upon time, not long ago either, Port
land man went into neighbours store to pay a.
large bill He laid down the unreceipted bill,
and bundle of bills, and pleading great haste
said, "Give me receipt quick, L want to
catch the boat; you will find the amount all
right" His neighbor signed the receipt, and
the Portland man departed in great haste. Al,
ter he was gone the money was counted, and
10 and behold, there was 800 too much, owing
to an error in the addition of the Portland
man. A note was made of the error, and hye
days elapsed before the Portland man returned
to the city. As he passed his neighbours store
he called him in and said, "Mr. ---, your
account was a trife mixed the other day. :,
Chow was that?" said the P. M; II guess L
know how to count "Yes," replied the
neighbor, "you can count money, tbut you fail
in addition. Here is 500 you overpaid me"
The P M. took the proffered money, and with
out word of thanks started for the door; but
before he reached the open air be wheeled
round, and going back to his neighbor, said
"Mr. -, here is my hundred dollars, but
how about my interest for the five days you
have had my money!" ] am awful glad that
this Portland man did not find my red morocco
wallet, and that the good Portland boy did.

The Eastport Sentinel says: "There has
lately occurred decided change in the sardine
business. The fish have suddenly and unac-
countably disappeared from the coast, and in
consequence thereof all the factories are stand
ing idle, and the operatives are found on the
streets looking for work. Lack OF fish makes
a vast difference in the business of the town.
To most of the inhabitants it is their living,
their all. Scarcity of fish also affects very
sensibly the storekeepers, as when the fac
tories are running trade is good; but when
they are closed, the stores present almost as
deserted an appearance as the factories. AS
this same condition of affairs prevails all
along the coast, it is impossible to foretell
when We shall she revival in the sardine
business"
