FRANKLIN.
The journal saws the death of Miss Eva l.
in, ha of
her sister, Mrs. Thos. Newall. on the l4th
instant. Miss Whittier was a student of the
Pennington Normal school some seven years
since. and young lady of superior mental
endowments and brilliant prospects, but who.
it will be remembered. met with a terrible
accident by being run into by a spirited
team on Main street, which inflicted an in
jury to her back and shock to her system
which not only made it impossible to con-
tinue her course of study but confined her to
the house an invalid. and a. we learn. a
greater part of the time to couch of acute
pain from then until her death.
OXFORD.
The Democrat saws the graduating exer-
eises of the class of 49, Norway High School

Denison, Herbert Russell. Carrie Farrow,
Ellie Swan, Annie Hayden, Florence An
drews, Belle Whitcomb, Mertie Stairbird
and Nellie +. Andrews. The class is one of
the largest and best ever graduated.
PENoBsCoT.
The Whig says on Thursday last young
man called at T. ii. Nye's stable. in Brewer,
and hired team ostensibly to go to Dix
mont. Since that time neither the fellow
nor the team have put in an appearance at
Nye's livery stable and so it is evidently
case of horse stealing.
The Commercial says that Sunday. James
Lawrenson, a Scotchman, died at the City
Hotel, Bangor, aged about 30 years. He
came to Bangor about four weeks ago, from
Bluehil and upon his arrival at once cabled
his brother, in New Zealand, asking pecuni-
ary assistance, as it is supposed. The cost
of the cablegram left Lawrenson bankrupt,
or nearly so, bad situation for a confirmed
consumptive, KS he was. Mr.. Smith, land
lord of the City Hotel, treated the poor inva-
lid kindly and did all possible for his COM
fort. Sunday. while yet no answer had come
from Australia, Lawrenson died. and was
buried the same day among strangers at Mt.
Hope.
