DIR. Wm. Rogers has lately purchased the
outermost of the group ofislands in French
mans Bay, off Bar Harbor. 1t is known as
Turtle Island, and contains $50 acres of land
beautifully wooded and we'll supplied with
springs. The distance from Bar Harbor is
six milss, and from Winter Harbor two miles.
The Doctor has gang of men on the island
building nice wharf, and as it is in the di-
rect route between Winter Harbor and Bar
Harbor probably Turtle Island will have a
full share of picnlc parties this summer.
Twelve years ago this month, says the
Ellsworth American, Mr.. John Royal of this
city, then the Keeper Of Prospect Harbor
Light, was cut in his boat pulling shad net
and lost his watch overheard in about ten
fathoms OF water. The watch was of Waltham
make with silver cases, and was valued by
Mr.. Royal because it was left bv his son who
was shot and killed during the war. Last
Saturday the watch was sent up to Mr.. Royal
by Capt. Horatio Allen, the present keeper of
the Light, who found it in his potato patch.
How it got there is a mystery. 1t is thought
however. that it must have lodged in some
rock-weed which drifted ashore and was after
wards collected and carried on to the land for
dressing. The cases are in good condition
but it is no longer a time keeper.
The Spiritualists have purchased an island
in the Penohscot, below Bucksport. 1t is
reported that wharf will be built, and the
steamers will land there.

who narrowly escaped being killed. DR..
Judson, Henry c. Millay and Cyrus r. Pack
ard were riding past the house of Gilmore
Tyler. when some person fired at them hit
ting DR.. Alden. He was badly wounded in
the arm near the elbow and in the thigh. As
many as II shot had struck him, only five of
which have been extracted. They penetrated
to depth of from three to six inches. The
wounds bled profuselv and were very painful
Unless there should be some unexpected un-
favorable turn of the case, there is no danger
of fatal result, but recovery will be slow.
and it is not probable that DIR. Alden will
ever recover the use of his arm. The elbow
is badly injured and will be permanently
stiffened.
