ANNIE LOUISE GARY.
About Her Birth Place and Her Early
Life-Her Father and Mother

The town of Wayne, in Kennebee county,
the birthplace of Annie Louise Gary, is
described as a picturesque little village
situated at the northern extremity of the An
droscoggin Lake, Viewed from the aolaceht
heights, the village, with its surroundings, is
scene of surprising beauty The lake Wnich
it borders, studded with Islands; the bridged
streams cutting it in twain at the centre; a
steepled church, standing, sentinel-hke' at
either extremity; the rows OF big naples
shading its main street, in combination, form
a subject of artistic interest. II we may judge
from the frequent visits by Miss Cary, to this
home of her childhood, no doubt that, in view
of its charms. she often sings:
"Whereer roam, whatever lands to see,
My heart untrammelled fondly turns TO thee.
Miss Gary was the daughter of Nelson How
ard Gary, NJ. D., and Maria (Stockbridge)
Cary, both now deceased. To both OF her
parents is she indebted, under the law, OF
heredity, for her gift of song, as, also, for her
vigorous intellectual nature.
DR.. Cary possessed natural gifts,muslcal,
literary and oratorieal, which, had they neen
developed, and expanded by suitable SOCIAL IN
fuences would have distinguished him IN any
community. He had baritone voice OF great
volume and compass. Such was his popular
ity, that his contribution of speech or song
was considered indispensable to every festlvai
or public gathering in the vicinity. MIS-
Cary, lady of refinement and intelligence,
was reared under the advantages OF cultivated
society. Possessing an excellent voice, upon
which had been bestowed good degree OF
cultivation, she enjoyed considerable local
reputation as singer.
The family removed from Wayne to Durs
ham, in this county. 1t was favorite pastime
of the neghbors to assemble in front OF the
Doctors house, on pleasant summer evenings,
and call the family out on the verandah to
sing to them. In all her after-triumphs, An
ME never gave more genuine pleasure to her
listeners than when, on these occasions, she
would sing her simple childish songs; while
several of the other children gave evidence OF
possessing musical talents no less promising
than her own. Going to Boston, when about
seventeen years of age, her brother, at whose
house she went to reside, soon obtained for her
a situation in the choir OF the Rowe street
Baptist church.
A disability which somewhat impeded her
progress, at first, was that of excessive ner-
vousness. This difficulty, for q time, oper ated
to dampen, slightly, the hopes OF her friends
as to her capacity for dramatic expression.
Her father once remarked that eff Annie
could so far forget herself as to acquire the
necessary ease and abandon when facing an
audience, think she would sing very WELL"
A recent writer says that, intellectually,
Miss Cary may be considered as of the mascu-
line type, her conversation and correspondence
indicating breadth, insight and discrimination.
Her comments upon persons and circumstances
of European royalty, betray a capacity for
shrewd observation.

Contrary to experience fair day did not
bring out full vote, and fewer ballots were
cast than on election day two W eeks ago. The
total vote then was 5,505, Libby having Zig;
Deering, 2,259; Littlefeld, 4S4; Ames, Is.
There were 10 scattering votes. Yesterday the
total was AT, Libby receiving 2,576; Deering,
2.229: Littlefeld, 59S; Ames, "a. There were
10 scattering votes. The combined Libby and
Littlefeld vote was 3,174, against 2,273 for all
others.
The total vote is So less than before. Libby
has 143 less; Deering 80 less; Littlefeld ia
more; Ames more, .and scattering 8 less
Libby loses 10 in Ward One, GO in Ward
Two; gsins 10 in Ward Three; loses Al in
Ward -Four. 26 in Ward Five. in Ward Six;
and ga. ms in Ward Seven.
DeerhNg loses At in Ward One; gains 40 in
Ward Two; loses 70 in Ward Three; gains in
Ward -Four; loses SO in Ward Five; gains 10 in
Ward Six; and loses in Ward Seven.
LittleGeld gains Is in Ward One, 10 in Ward
Two, 20 in Ward Three, 20 in Ward Four, 16
in Ward Five, in Ward Six, and % in Ward
Seven.
The election was quiet. Little interest was
manifested at the polls, and few were to be
found in the Ward rooms. The Republicans
generally thought Libby would be elected by a
good majority, the Democrats hoped to profit
by Republican Indifference and push Deering
in, and the Littlefeld men boosted that they
would throw thousand votes. All were dis
appointed. There was no election, and the
choice of Mayor devolves upon the City Coun'
Gil.
Reports were rife last night that because of
some fatal defect in the warrant yesterdays
voting was invalid. and new election must be
held by the people. There seems to be no good
ground for the reports and the final disposi-
ton OF the matter will doubtless rest with the
Aldermen and Councilmen.
The following is the vote in detail, compar-
ed with that of two weeks ago:

AN INTERESTING CASE.
a Young Girls Sudden Insanity and
Strange Freaks.

A little over year ago there came to Ban
gor from New Brunswick, a young girl named
Maggie Howell She hired out to do general
homework, and was first employed by VIM.
Cassidy, proprietor of the York street House.
Afterwards she worked in various places
among them the Bangor House. During the
past winter, up to one week ago, she worked
for Henry Wiswell, farmer who resides in
OrriDgton and drives milk cart to this city.
On Thursday, March 9th, she told Wiswell she
would like to have him pay her her wages, as
she desired to leave. This being done she
started, SO the report goes, to come to Bangor
on the milk team with her late employer All
went as we'll as usual until they had reached
the Brewer cemetery, near the Dirigo Mills,
where, Wiswell says, Miss Howell began to
act strangely, and jumped out of the team.
She ran mp into Mr.. Shows yard, but would
not go into the house, despite the coaxing OF
the ladies' who were the only ones at home.
Wiewell drove on, but the girl, who seemed to
have gone suddenly mad, continued to roam
around in the vicinity, making great noise,
and tearing her hair and clothes. At o'clock
in the afternoon Constable Moor, having been
sent for, arrived in company with the select
men of the tow n, and upon their approach the
girl ran into Shows house, where, after
Struggle, she was captured, but it required the
united strength of four men to get her into the
carriage. She presented a pitiful sight; her
clothes were almost entirely torn from her
body, and the light Of madness shone in her
eyes The constable and selectmen took the
unfortunate girl to the Brewer Aims House,
where she remained until Wednesday morn
ing when she was taken to the Insane Asylum
at Augusta. The physician at the hospital
stated that unless the patient-who was then
greatly emaciated on account of almost total
abstinence from food during her five days
stay at the Aims house partook of nouishment
regularly and quite heartily, she would not
survive many days.
The case is particularly sad one, as the girl
is but II years OF age, and is entirely alone in
this section. Her former employers say that
she has never, while in their employ, exhibited
any signs of weakness of mind, but was always
perfectly bright, industrious girl. The whole
affair has strange aspect, as no reason is as
signed and no precedent mentioned for the
girls sudden affliction-Bangor Commercial.
