late of this place, little less than two years

Intervening between the death Of the second
wife and the marriage Of the third he made
awill dividing his property equally between
his two sons, viz, Walter 5. Fowler, OF this
place, and Charles Fowler of Chicago, issues
OF the first wife, he was In very poor health
at the time Of his last marriage, and 1t was
rumored that his new bride the short time
he lived endured rather than enjoyed the
honeymoon. A few days before his death
he made second will, rovoking his first,
this time giving his property to his wife. The
sons claim there was undue influence on the
part OF the wife and therefore contested the
will. Judge Walker Of Bridgton, and E. E.
Hasting, ESQ.,, of Fryeburg, appeared for the
heirs. john Bennett, Esq, and Alonzo
Fouler, executors of the will employed Judge
Hobbs of Berwick to sustain the will, in aid
with Hamilton and HALEY Of Biddeford " no
appeared as counsel for Mrs. Fowler. IL was
finally agreed by counsellors that the widow
and heirs should share equally In the prop

fully two weeks earlier than last year, trees
in full foliage, the abundant apple blossoms
are already things Of the past, and the lilac
blooms are fading. The grass is making
rapid growth, having been blessed with fire.

crop will doubtless be good one and heavier
than last year. 1t will probably be ready
for the scythe In many localities by the 25th
of the month. Haying usually commences
here from the 9th TO the 18th of July. Wild
berry blossoms are abundant. Planted
crops are looking well. Garden vegetables
are largely up and growing. In my garden
the potatoes are at least six inches high;
corn, say five inches. Some of tbs peas are
In blossom, and beans up two weeks ago;
sqcashes and cucumbers making good
show.
