West Cornvilie Speaks

Mn. Enron We often see CoTnyllle and Fast
Cornyillc items in the Reporter, and as we do
not live in the town of Cornvlc, perhaps no mn
worthy motive will be attributed to MS if we
sneak a word about West Corn,llc. Not only
the fine farms attract attention in this part OF
the town, but the Improvements made are very
noticeable During the past eight years the
County road in W. Cornylle known the
"Mudiunkcrs" has received important repairs.
A gentleman who used to live on this road, b
has been away for the past ten years, said "lf l
were placed at lIobart's Corner formerly New
begin Corner could not have told from the
,ppearance OF things where | was. | should
have thought myself in the ccntrc OF prairie
and sbould have taken Iobart's house for a
large hotel" The Hobart farm is really COM
posed of two farms and the large amount cleared
by him in the past five years makes this one OF
the mos, valuable farms in the county. We un.
| d,r,tand that IA Stock company desire to pun
| chase the farm for the purpose Of raising stock
| and making it regular stock farm. Indeed, i
is now n stock farm Of no small proportions. As
Mr.. Hobart has forty head Of cattle and seven
or eight horse kind. He has hay to sell in large
onantitics after feeding this large stock. The
gentleman above referred to says that twent,
Years AGO no one had any idea Of the value o
this land. Mr.. Hobart's farm is not cucumber
ed with fences and stone walls, but presents
clean and extended sweep OF fine grass land
His large palatial residence and immense farm
complete the scene which attracts the attention
Of ali who pass through this part Of Cornyile

A korridgewock Relic.

A relic of rare historic and religious interest is
in the possession of Hon. \. X. RiNby. 1t is a
silver cross about five inches in length, time
worn and gray with age. 1t picked up on
the site Of the old Indian village at Norrdgo-
wock, by young man named Hitchcock two
weeks ago last Sunday. He and several other
young men were digging in the earth when about
SIX inches below the surface they came across
the relic. On its front appears figure Of the
Savior, surmountcdb by crown, while beneath
the feet is a skull and cross bones. Thi, Indian
village Nas destroyed and n large portion OF
its inhabitants slaughtered l6l years ago the Eth
day Of last August, by force Of about POO men,
under Capts. Harmon and Muultun. Father
Ralc, French priest, whose labors for tho lu-
dams have become historic, was stationed at the
village and killed in the fight. The cross wa.
undoubtedly his property and was lost at the
time OF his death. FIR. Rale came from France
in 1859, and for awhile he WAS with the Abcna-
quis tribe. he published Il dictionary of their
language, which is now in the possession Of
III ,ryard College. Afterwards he became mis-
sonary to the lrriqrois OF the West, travelling
thousands Of miles through unbrukcn forests to
,ach them. In 1901 he cast his fortunes with
the Norridgcwock tribe, where he remained ur .
til his death. Mr.. BiNh, cnntcmplatcs pre-
s"nting the cross TO the Maine Historical Socie.

TERRIBLY FRIGHTENED.-The Lewiston
.L,urpal tells how Mr. Gaylord and his
black trotter frightened the whole field of
green horses in the following graphic
language;
There were just eighteen horses entered
In the green horse class. When their
owners came here each thought he was
sure to win. There were lots of horses
| I'm there that could show somewhere from
| a forty five to thirtytive clip, and these
were esteemed by their ownors as surely
good enough to win green horse race.
But alas for their owners, society, and the
public, that Skowhegan horse,-thc big
headed, long-eared, Black Sham, Saturday
went out and trotted a mile In 2.29 ~
This performance was marvel to al
concerned" said one of them this morn
ing. "Why, that old black cuss,-tha'
Black Sham, why he scared US out OF tel
mounds apiece.--and since that race yes
5orday, why we've all been just kicking
our selves. Did you ever see such farce
of q race. never drew out of race be
fore, and never will again, II my hors'
can stand up" 1t was really too had tina
Il resulted 70, for there was materla
enough for hrst class race. 4
