A Fisherman Loses HIS Paper Purse.


Benjamin Sadler, FISH dealer, with a
young man named Lewis, was returning to
Boothbay after having disposed of q good
boat load of fish to parties along the Kenne-
bee river, for which he received over $1,000.
MIR. Sadlcr states that he had 1850 in bag
in his pantaloons pocket and about $50 in his
wallet. AS they were crossing Sheepscot bay
Mr.. Sadler went forward to trim the jibsheet,
when squall struck tho boat and Mr.. Sadler
was trippod up, and would have fallen over
board, but ho caught hold of q rope with his
right hand, put his legs around the rail, and
held on until Lewis helped him on board II
Lewis had not come ms he did, Sadlor would
have been compelled to let 20 his hold, as he
was almost used up His first thought was
for tho safety Of his money, and ho found to
his horror that it had slipped from his pocket
at the time of the accident and gone over
board. The discovery so ovorcamo him that
he fell in q faint and lay for some timo. The
money was in paper bag and consisted oil
$1Oi0 in bills and $40 in silver. The bag
sunk Immediately. Where it sunk tho water
was between 25 and 30 feet deep. Tho fish
which ho had sold belonged to Nickerson &
Co., of Boothbav, and II. G.. Rowe e Co., OF
Five Island harbor. Sadler reported the loss
to tho owners, but they arc somewhat skep'
tica and will not be likely to let tho matter

A Maine Mans wildcat Encounter.


One day toward the latter part of the
afternoon, was coming from Sedgwck on
foot and alone. When about half way down
the hill above Blacks school house heard
very low, peculiar kind of a purring sound,
with an occasional low, swapping noise at the
same time, which seemed to be very near the
road. The land on the Brooksville side of
the road was quite thckly wooded with
spruce and fir trees, the limbs growing near
the ground. After lingering minute or
two and locating the sound as near
as ] was able to- 4 stopped low
in the road, and, looking under the
branches of the trees | saw a large wild
cat, some fifteen or twenty feet from tho
road, very busily engaged with something so
buried up in the snow that couldn't tell
what it was. Not really expecting to get
succeeded, after some trouble, in getting n
small stake from the fence on the opposite
side of tho road, and started for the wildcat
BY creeping very easy through the snow
got within five or six feet of him before no
saw me. l saw that he was very busy eating
a rabbit he had Just killed. As soon as he
saw me he jumped into the limbs of II small
spruce directly over his head with the rab-
bit in his mouth. By this time was within
reach of him with my stake, and struck at
him through the limbs of the tree, which, how
ever, We're so thick that, although hit him on
the back, | didn't seem to hurt him. But he
dropped the rabbit and turned toward me
with savage growl. He looked wicked, and
| put myself into posture of defense, and
none too soon for he Immediately lcaped from
tho tree directly at me. / was ready for him,
and met him with my stake square in tho
forehead 1t dropped him in the snow, and
broke my stake short Off leaving the longest
part in my hands. Before he could recover
himself got my foot on him and got in u half
dozen more good liclSs on his head that fin
ished him, dragged him home (abouta milo
distant), having to stop many times in the
road for people to examine my trophy, for he
attracted considerable notice. The noyt day
| took his ears to tho town treasurer who paid
me $3.50 for them, the town at that time pay
