ton Journal says Page, the party who shot Clark
in Frankfort, passed through Monroe to Stetson
where he was last seen, a short time since. He
keeps dog by him and has a pair of snowshoes,
so he can travel through the deep SHOWS of the
woods with ease, and has a gun-a sixteen shooter.
and pistol. He keeps thus armed and duly makes
his appearance from the woods as hunger compels.
reward is offered for his CAPTURE, but he says he
shall not be captured alive.
LIBERTY. The versatility of the average dog in
this village IS astonishing He will devour chicken
soup from the top of hot stove, soap grease garb
age, slops, and decayed bacon rnds from the back
door; your dinner from the table; all the calves
heads from The slaughter house; custard pie and
pound cake from the pantry; eggs from the nest,
and finish the performance by partially devouring
the old hen herself, and then digging up Moers
Arctic plum tree that cost two dollars last spring,
to bury the remainder of the hen. He comes back
in short time, digs up the foul remains, invites
all the dogs in the village to the feast and when they
have done get into the porch, drink out of the water

upset the swill barrel, indulge i'll several free

Mob At WATERFRONT. On Thursday evening
March 10Th Hon. Fred Atwood was sitting quietly
by his firesi,e thinking of the hay crop of lSs;i and
the probable sales Of Meadow King mowers and
rubber coated scythes. with nothing to modest or
make him afraid, conscious of having discharged,
all ana singular his duties to his fellow citizens
poet I'VE should suspect some danger nigh, when
we possess delight" when his revCry was ru,ielv
disturbed by the violent ringing of his door bell.
Going to the door aud throwing it wide open as i.
his CUSTOM he eazed into the faces OF several
ladies, who without saving by your permission,
deliberately walked past him into the house. Look
ing out into the darkness he the walk from his
house to the street full Of ladies, each armed with
to his startled vision carefully concealed by a
white napkin, while 4 voice from around the cor
ner of the house called out in starte, tones there
are forty more coming up the street, On hearing
this Fred rercated to the rear of the NALL and there
the crowd fled in completely filling his rooms, he
became alarmed, and sent the following dispatch to
Mayor Arey, Come to my house quick. Mob cap
turcd it." He received in return this heartless re
ply, Cant come. Don't pity you bit" He then
sent the following message to your correspondent,
~ on must Gomez mob taken possession" While
all this was transpiring dispatch was handed him
purporting to come from Belfast and reading rs
follows: "Belfast, March %, 1883. To Fred Atwood.
hear the ladies have captured your castle. If you
can't stand it, send for me. Our George" This
afforded some relief, for he then knew he had one
friend We obeved his summons as speedily as
possible and on entering the house was confronted
with such display of beauty, dry goods and smil-
ing faces, that we only succeeded in reading the
riot act in q mild form, and commanded them in
the name of the State of Name to quietly disperse,
or remain and have good time, or words to that
effect, for we were bound to maintain the majesty
of the law. "When the mists had cleared away"
50 he could take an observation and Jet his bear
ings, Mr.. Atwood learned, very much TO his relief,
that it was well laid plan Of certain ladies Of
our village to give him grand surprise, and
that the covered packages and bundles, We're
not dynamite or internal machines but loaves
of the rich cake for which our Winterport la
dies are famous Mr.. Atwood has had his re-
ceptions the past winter for gentlemen exclusive
ly, and SO the ladies concluded to give him sur
prise i'll return for his kindness to their husbands,
brothers and friends. They massed their forces
and marched to his house in solid phahnX and so
quietly that the first ntimaion he had of their com
ing was the ringing of the door bell that broke his
reverie and scattered hay crops, moving machines
and rubber coated scythes to the four winds like
Western blizzard. Mrs. Atwood was informed of
the plot at late hour but wisely kept it from her
husband. Who will say now that n woman cannot
keep secret? Suffice it to say that in very brief
time coffee boilers were steaming and tables fairly
grooming under the weight of the good things
brought by the mob and everything was merry
: marriage bells Did feel "sutlicent for these
things" would like to give description Of the or
namcnts worn by some Of the ladies. Mrs. L. A.
Snow, whose husband is Il boot and shoe dealer,
had small boot suspended from her belt. Miss f..
and miniature yard stick dangling at her waist,

with hair pins of enormous proportions, making it
extra hazardous to approach her. Mrs. &c. Atwood
