| FALLS AND THE WELLS.
Correspondence of the Journal
| liOULroN, Me-, oct. 26, 1886. Having rest
ed at Fort Fairfield village over Sunday, early
on Monday morning we set out on visit to
Grand Falls. Passing through the lower vii
lagc of Fort Fairfield we cross the little
stream, our objective point being Andover, n.
| b., village seven miles east. where we hope
to be able to make connections by rail, so as to
see the Grand Falls and return in the evening.
| Nearing the line we are not under the necessity
| of making any inquiries as to where the boun-
| Diary line runs. Close to the boundary line, as
close as they can get without coming over and
| trespaSsing on the domain of Uncle sam, few
| houses have been built. on most of which a
conspicuous sign is hung, bearing the inscrip-
| tions: ''BounlarysLine,' ''tnlcr the Rising
SUM- etc. Licensed to Sell Liquors." Lii
quors and Cigars" Three if not four, a ma
| Jority of the houses there, are thus publicly
| devoted to the execution of the devils behest.
| Ascending the hill, which lies before Us, we
overtakc one of the victims of the ncfarious
business, crouchng by the side of the road,
| trying hard to steady his hand sufficiently to
morning, the salutation which comes from him
to us confirms the fact sufficiently evident be-
fore. AS we climb the hill i'll advance of him,
We sigh for constitutional prohibition in New
| Brunswick a> i'll Maine.
| The village of Andoycr lies along the banks
of the st. John river and i, hidden behind the
hills until you are close upon it. 1t is a quiet.
| mprctcnding village, With several churches
but little business. Disappointed that the ar
rangcment of the trains do not suit our pur-
pose TO visit Grand Falls and return the same
day, after resting for an hour, at ten o'clock
WE resume our journey Of twentv-four miles
farther, with faith in the ability of our we'll
tried qlIadrupcd. The first five miles of our
| Journey lie along the banks of the st. John
| river At the junction of the Aroo>took river
we cross the latter on Il bridge, leaving the
st. John, along the banks of which we had
hoped to travel, on our right. to he denied the
privilege of getting 4 glimpse of it again, until
we reach Grand Fails. Much to our surprise
the road from Andoycr to Grand Falls is in
| excellent condition for travel. We climb hills,
and descend into valleys, pass by cultivated
lands and through woods, but in the whole dis
tancc Of twenty -four miles there was not a rod
of poor road. Whether the miles are shorter
