Rosehurg on Monday evenings train, in
search of truant husband who had deserted
her and married another woman in Portland.
From the description given he had stopped
at one of the hotels in this city for some time,
but had gone south toward the California
line before the arrival of the injured and de-
serted WIFE The lady, after consulting
some of the legal authorities, left on the next

probability, proceedings will be taken to
have the guilty husband returned to the bo-
som of his family or punished for bigamy.

Night depredations are becoming
very frequent here of late and some of
our people have suffered great inconve-

Some of these aggressors we're accident

but onr prominent gossips have not
succeeded in obtaining the particulars.
We are sorry that tie items furnished
by us do not receive the appr obation
of some of our leading citizens. One
individual who resides in this town has
been heard to remark that the items
are of silly nature and that the cor
respondent is Of small calibre. The
complainant is certainly a man of mon
strous mind and is constantly engaged
in wrestling with questions of scien-
tific nature, and should be allotted a
position where his scientific researches
might benefit the rising generation.

take place at Forest City Rink, Peaks Island.
The contesting clubs will be the Forest Citys
and Woodfords. It will be the first game of
the Forest Citys and considerable curiosity is
expressed to see what they will do in the start
The fact that the Woodfords came very near
defeating the Old Orchards will tend to make
this game test of the strength of the two
leading clubs. There is no better place in the
country to witness polo game than at this
rink, and the Forest Citys will have fine
chance to do some scientific work. The For
est City boats leave Custom House wharf at

The veteran antiquarian of the Boston
Transcript, Mr.. David Pulsifer, for many
years in the office of the Secretary of State,
has been engaged, the Transcript says, since
January, in making a copy of the very early
records and papers found in that Office relating
to the early province of Maine, for a gentle
man in Portland, who contemplates an ex-
haustive history of that State. Mr.. Pulsifer
has been for many years regarded as an ex-
pert in the deciphering of ancient writings
and, being a careful penman, is making a
manuscript volume of great Importance to the
gentleman who employs him, and also of much
value in all future time. Maine is to be con-
graduated on having such a public-spirited
citizen as the employer of Mr.. Pulsiter, and is
likewise to be congratulated on being able to
secure the services of Mr.. Pulsifer. These
records are all of dates previous to 100.

A Good Ghost Story.

Captain James T, an old Portland
shipmaster, told the following ghost story to
citizen. He said that one night, on the
voyage from which he had just returned,
while lying off the battery at New York,
waiting for the crew to come on board, he
heard some one on the top of the house calling
"James T, James tt" Now this was
not only the captains name, but also that OF
his son, who was his mate on this voyage.
Only the captain, mate and steward were on
board, and on hearing the voice they all went
on deck, but saw no one. The stewards dog,
which slept in front OF the cabin door, lay
| quiet on his rug.
| The next day the bark sailed for Rio ia
| nero, and several strange occurrences took
| place on the passage. One morning his son,
| the mate, said to him: Captain, the ship is
| haunted. turned out on my watch at four
O'Clock in the morning, and as I went out of
| the cabin door I saw some one in white, but
before could distinguish whether it was male
or female it disappeared around the mainmast
The steward said he saw it also and was
| frightened"
| Some days after this the steward called the
| captain and told him the mate had not yet
| come on deck. The captain went to the mate
state-room, and on opening the door saw the
mate apparently laughing at him, but on TAX
| ing hold of him he found he was dead. From
his distorted countenance it appeared that he
| had been frightened to death. Several other
strange occurrences happened on board, and on
arriving at Rio the steward left the vessel on
account of feeling that she was haunted.
| Stran0a noisar continued IN no haard on hoard
such as the working of the windlass in heaving
the anchor, but on going forward no one as
| to be seen.
Now comes the strangest part of the story.
| During thu captains absence on this voyage
another son of his, Samuel r, arrived
home from a voyage, and remarked that he
would go down for his dunnage. He came
back with it and lay down for nap Not
coming down to tea, some of the family went
to call him and found him dead. This was
about the time that the mate and steward saw
the figure in white.

PoRTLANDs VS.. j. L. WHITING & SON.
The John L. Whiting & Son nine went to
Lewiston yesterday noon, where they were to
play the Lewistons in the afternoon, but on
account OF rain the game was postponed and
will be played this forenoon at Lewiston at 9
o'clock, If the weather is favorable. The Bos-
ton club will then take the noon train for this
city and, If it does not rain will again meet
the Portlands on their grounds in the after
noon, game to be called at 8 o'clock sharp To
say it will be a good game is superfuous The
home team are not satisfied with their defeat
of Tuesday and will take advantage of every
point fairly to win this time. BatcheldeI will
probably umpire.
The attendance at the game Tuesday was
large and there is no reason why the audiences
should not continue to increase. Manager
Burnham deserves the thanks of all who en-
joy game of base ball for the excellent ac-
Communications which are due to his enter
prise.
The patrons of the game would be greatly
accommodated if score cards were offered for
sale at small price, giving the batting order
of each club.
1t would be great convenience for the au-
dience at the Portland grounds if blackboard
could be put up in a conspicuous place and the
progress of the game bulletiued at the close of
each inning. 1t would save the scorers much
annoyance if Manager Burnham would see to
it,
1t is good deal better to applaud the good
plays and keep silent when an error is made.
1t takes the courage out of the boys when they
have an unsympathizing audience.
