\ lively runaway occurred here Satur-
dav afternoon. Mr. Charlie. Whltmore,
while driving a Young horse, went around a
little too fast, in front Of the Hancock
House. and as 4 result the sleigh VA, over
turned. This proved too much for the
nerves Of the horse and he struck out for
home b, the time he had reached the Post
office the sleigh looked as If il had been
through q threshing machine.

This frightened the horse still more and a
lively runaway was expected. 1t was soon
captured, however. without further damage.
On the first page will be found an arti-
Gle entitled "A New Enterprise" which
may prove interesting to our millmen. The
manufacture Of canvas betting Is something
new in this country and if the betting is as
durable as it is claimed TO be, is we'll worth
considering. The Company j. composed Of
Maine men of well known integrity and
business qualifications. Sample. of the
betting NAV be seen at the store Of A. VI.
Hopkins in this city.
Through the courtesy Of DIR. J. F.
Pratt of Chelsea, Mass, we present to our
readers, this week, a copy OF petition to
the General Court of Massachusetts made
by some of the inhabitants of Goudsboro in
1887. From this petition ii appears tina,
there was a decided difference of opinion
among the inhabitants relative to being incor-
pOrated INTO town. AS matter OF TACT
however, the town was incorporated Feb. l6
1889 and named in honor of Robert Gould
one of the original proprietors.
"Wednesday morning, as the mixed train
on the Bangor and Piscstaquis railway wa.
passing through Lagrange some of the
train hands noticed a man lying on the
ground between the railroad track and
Hathorn, Foss & Co.'S. storehouse. The
train was stopped and the man. who was an
Indian, taken aboard. He was revived
somewhat by stimulants, and stated that he
had accidentally shot himself; that his name
was Sockalexis, and that he belonged in
Greenbush. The man died just before the
train reached Oldtown, partly from the eff
fscts of the gun-shot in his side and partly
from the exposure.
