A contested will case of considerable i'm
portance is being heard bv Judge Webster Of
the probate court at the Court House. Dec.
l7th 1885, Mrs. Austrus w. Robinson of
Gardiner formerly of Richmond, died, leav-
ing an estate of some $4,000, the larger part
of which fell to her from a relative
who died in Massachusetts, interstate, some
time since. In her will she bequeathed
her entire property to her brother, Joseph
Robinson of Gardiner. Now another brother,
Mr.. Lincoln Robinson of Richmond, the only
remaining heir, contests the will as it is pre-
sented for probate on the ground that
she was insane. Some forty witnesses
have been summoned and the case will occu-
py several days. George Heselton. Esq, of
Gardiner. H. NJ. Heath, Esq of Augusta
and Jas. r. Cunningham, Esq, of Richmond,
appear for the will, the former gentleman
being executor. The contestant Mr.. Lin
coin Robinson, is represented by Col. j. w.

The telegraph and telephone linemen have
had their hands full for several days past re-
pairing the damage wrought BY the late
storm. The telephone line between this city
and Belfast was left in most dilapidated
condition. The lineman went out two miles
and found twelve breaks and twenty eight
cross-pieces torn off At this rate it will take
several days to place the line in working con-
diton. The Togus line was in bad shape and
agentleman who rode out on the Togus road
reported that there were many poles minus
the wire. 1t has not been repaired as yet.

A ludicrous case of inadvertence recently
occurred in one of the several newspaper
establishments in this city. young man
who was employed at the office corresponded
with nice young lady in neighboring town.

sending the favor through the ms'ls. Inc
missive passed to the counting room with the
remainder of the mail and the bust
,as. manager not noticing the address,
tore omen the envelope, and turned it over to
the editor, who clspped it into the foune
Folks Column as a communication the name
ot the rightful possessor of the letter
and the sender both appearing. Inc
vouna man, it seems, had been awaiting
some word from the lady but had been oisap-
pointed, and he first learned OF the course
the letter had taken as he was employed on
the nres,. the words catching his eve as the

GERMANS AS C0LONlSTS.

A friend has given us the reading
of an article written by Colonel
Rozsas, in California paper, com
mending Germans above all other
nationalities, as desirable immigrants
to develop the resources of that
State. Particular mention is made,
in this regard, of people from the
grape-growing districts of the Rhine,
Moselle, Alsace-Lorraine and Swift
zerland, giving several reasons for
preferring them. This is a matter
requiring serious attention in pro-
noting colonization in this country.
The class of settlers to be obtained
should be a primary consideration,
and to obtain people with means OF
their own, it is essential, on our
side, that what this country has to
offer immigrants should be made as
agreeable as possible to them. To
this end Government aid as we'll as
private capital should be forth
coming, for having homesteads
meted out and furnished with sucl
artificial requirements as would
make them capable of being cult
vated from the moment of theil
occupation.

Henri McGrew come aboard next
boat after myself, for had heard
that he was too i'll to return home
this trip. For most of the passage
the sea was even smoother than on
the way up, and more pleasant
round trip it would be impossible to
have made. At Hookena, Hawaii,
the Rev. "A. o. Forbes came ON
board, having been there to attend
the recent Sunday School gathering.
Fortunate is the travelling party in
these Islands numbering him in it,
for what he does not know of the
country, its people and history,
need not be related. He showed me
the Olowalu plantation, the old
road from Lahaina to Wailuku, and
other interesting points, besides tell
ing me more than l had noted of the
coast of Hawaii. DR.. McGrew saw
whale before breakfast on Friday,
and now, as the vessel is coming
close to Diamond Head, it is time
to wind up.
THE HALL ROUTE.
Besides fine sea-going boat, with
first-class appointments and fare,
this route only keeps the passenger
out single night and a day. There
is then very comfortable hotel to
rest at till morning, when the re-
mainder of the journey is performed !
in easy stages, all in broad daylight.
At the Volcano two nights and day
are available for seeing the wonder
full work of nature there, which is
ample time for anybody who is not
going to solve the dark problems of
volcanic phenomena. Another day
light land journey to Punaluu, fol-
lowed by a whole day and night of
rest, with the opportunity of visiting
Pahala plantation, which has the
largest mill on the Islands, and then
make the return trip as you came on
the leeward and smoother side of
Hawaii and Maui. But the Volcano
Well, so far, it presents study in
even its present state well worth

ton to give the tax payers the value
of their money.

A TRIP TO THE VOLCANO
THE RETURN TRIP.

Early Tuesday morning the guides
are ready, but there is only myself
to be conducted to the sea, my two
companions intending to extend their
travels. The weather being clear,
all the noble mountain scenery OBJ
scured in the rain of the other day
are revealed. Will those vast slopes
of Mauna Loa, with their now un-
peopled solitude, ever be dotted with
pleasant homes? With canefields
now beautifying their spurs, surely
those grand stretches will not always
lie waste. Something must be cap
able of growing almost anywhere be-
low the snow region. The guides
point out row of steam jets on an
elevated ridge, twelve miles from
the Volcano, on the left of the trail
toward Puma. This reminds me that
Mr.. Chas. Arnold, Road Supervisor,
of Hilo, reported at the Volcano
House, the previous day, that on
Tuesday, 10th inst, large column
Of smoke was seen ascending from
the crater of Mokuaweoweo, on the
summit of Mauna Loa. The six
mules in our train, together with a
cow and calf driven by one of the
guides, reach the Halfway House in
good time. Mr.. Jos. o. Carter has
been met a little from that point,
going to the Volcano. After more
than iuly good treatment at the
hands of Mr.. and Mrs. Lee, l am
ratified on, the solitary passenger in
the mule four-in-hand coach, to Pa
hala. Having paid brief visit to
Mr.. T. c. Wills's finely-stocked
store, and exchanged greetings with
himself and his brother, have now
to be given a ride on roller coaster
in earnest-a train Of two cars run
by gravitation to Punaluu, with one
of the mountain guides and Por-
tuguese laborer at the brakes. 1t is
just as good fun as if charged extra.
Two nights and days enjoyment

the princely entertainment OF its
hotel, and then, at six O'Clock
