WINTH ROP.


The following true story is too good to be
lost One night last week Winthrop's most
famous hunter dreamed that he went hunting
and shot twenty-seven English snipe. The
next day he went on hunt and killed just
twenty-seven snipe. He is the owner of a
shot gun that he prizes very highly. That
night he dreamed that coming home from
his hunting tour he accidentally broke one of
tbs hammers to one of the locks off. This
dream so impressed itself upon his mind that
IN the morning. to satisfy himself that his
favorite gun was all right he removed the
case and stood the gun in the corner behind
the door. When turning around his coat
caught the gun some way, and it fell TO
the floor breaking the hammer short
of, just as he had seen it in the dream
The above is absolutely true, and will some
one explain it. Surely the time for reveia-
ton has not passed Many of our citizens
visited the fair at Lewiston and pronounce
it first class.-A. n. Berry, Esq, of Boston,
has been stopping with DR.. c. A. Cochrane
for few days.-The Nelke boy of North
Wayne who it will be remembered was so
seriously wounded, is on the sure road to
complete recovery. Ii was most wonderful
escape from instant death, and remarkable
recovery The Salvation armies, regular
and independent, continue to hold the fort.
Captain Mccartney still maintains good
lead over the regulars, and bids fair to dis
lance his competitors; a false and scurrilous
story started by some of the regulars about
him, has gained for him much sympathy. He
is apparently accomplishing much good.

Saving Very Little About Morton.

A Washington special to the Boston Her
aid reads There are Maine democrats at all
the hotels. They will make strenuous efforts
this week to get some more appointments for
Maine. But this is not good time for the
attempt. The President is very tired OF office
seeking delegations. The last two which
called were sent empty away. The Presi-
dent is not disposed TO make any more i'm
portant appointments till after the fall cleo
tons. 1t is said at the White House that no
application has been made for the appoint
ment of Col Morton of Augusta, to any
office. The Maine men are saying very little
about him. They are talking about the Port
land collectorship. Cleaves is regarded as
ahead in the race for it.
