Puzzled Fishermen.


Mackerel fishermen returning from the east
report that for the past ten or twelve days the
waters off Monhegan have presented singular
appearance, being about the color of milk and
water. The white streak is about thirty miles
in width and extends from Monhegan in a
northeasterly direction So or 70 miles, The
line of demarcation between the blue waters
and the white streak is very distinct and as re-
eular as wall. The white waters are semi
transparent, and mackerel seen beneath the
surface present reddish appearance. The
fishermen notice that mackerel passing from
blue to white waters are peculiarly affected
by the change, becoming wild and rushing
madly to and fro. They do not come to the
surface but their movements can be plainly
seen under the water. No explanation is
given of the phenomenon. Capt. Stephen j..
Martin, veteran fisherman and employe of
the United States Fish Commission, reports
that the same condition of things existed at
about the same place in 1849, and that a similar
phenomenon occurred on the southeastern part
of Georges Banks ia 1861, when from aloft
swordfish could be seen sporting beneath the
surface quarter of mile distant from the
vessel.

Friday night Mr.. David McClannin OF BAY
mond, aged about % years, received terrible
kick from a horse. He was leading the
animal to water, and it is thought fly must
have bit him and he kicked, one foot striking
the man full in the face, the heel calks just
over his eyes and the toe cslk on the chin, cut
ting terrible gashes. The flesh was peeled COM
pletely down over the left eye, but fortunate
ly the sight was not hurt.
The accident occurred sometime in the latter
part of the afternoon, though it is not known
lust when. The man was knocked senseless
and remained SO for some time, but finally re-
covered enough SO that he erawled to his door
steps lust at dusk where he managed TO let
the family know of his condition by humping
on the door, He. was picked up ia terrible
condition DIR. Cobb of Webb's Mills was sent
for. who dressed the wounds but was unable to
state the probable result as the man relapsed
into Inconsistencies and was delirious. AT a
late hour yesterday his condition was I'M
changed, and there were grave fears of infiam-
nation of the brain, which. if such proves to
be the case, may prove fatal The injured
man has for the time being lost his sight,
though the eyes are not apparently injured.

Cow. q. q. Washburn,s WIN.

The complication over the will OF the late
ex-Gcy G. G. Washburn of Minnesota, which
has led his widow to claim a third interest, is
TINS described: "One of the first provisions
of the will was that the executors should spend
such sums of money as might be necessary to
secure the comfort of the widow of the tests-
tor, who is insane and in an Eastern asylum.
The executors were given full power to spend
whatever amount they thought necessary, and
no further provision was made for her. Ac-
cording to the provisions of the will, the large
beouests to relatives and for charitable pur-
poses were to be carried out, and the remain
ing property was to be divided into two equal
parts, one of which was to go to the daughters
of the deceased and the other to his brothers
aud sisters 1t now appears that according to
the laws of the State of Minnesota the widow
became on the death of Mr.. Washburn the alb
solute owner of one-third of the estate in that
State. AS Minnesota contains four-ffths of
the property, including the large Touring mills
and other interests, the removal from the
estate of the dover will greatly reduce the re-
siduary in crest. A guardian has been APP
pointed for the widow, who will attend to her
interests"

gational clergyman, committed suicide IN Cor
ham Saturday morning by drowning.
Mr.. Bartlett was about 70 years old and IN
sound bodily health, but showed signs OF in
sanity Saturday. DR.. A. x. p. Meserve, an
old friend of the family was summoned, and
charged the family not to let Mr.. Bartlett go

probably make an attempt upon his own life,
if had an opportunity. A strict watch was
kept upon the patient, but that morning about
9 O'Clock he eluded his watchers, slipped out
of the house and drowned himself in Little
river The river is about quarter OF mile
from the house, and Mr.. Bartlett proceeded
directly to the water and plunged in with de-
liberate intention.
Mr. Bartlett was a brother of President
Samuel T. Bartlett of Dartmouth College. He
was native of Salisbury, N. a., and preached
about q years in Buxton, afterward in Brad
ley, Maine, and then in Newmarket, M H.
He leaves a wife and married daughter VINO
lived with him. He was in comfortable world
ly circumstances, and his insanity was IN
doubtedly the result of some Affections OF the
brain.
