A brunswick Romance.

Perhaps the most romantic of all the tales
of ancient Brunswick is that of Molhe FIN
ney AMI how she got husband Ii was
wild beginning, but good old fashioned
ending.
In l756 the eastern Indians were In most
warlike and ferocious mood They massa-
cred many of Brunswick's settlers, and one
night made raid on the house OF Thomas
Means, at Plying Point They hS;tered in
the door ard dragged out Means and his fam
lily The -ettler fought them mantully, but
his fate was sealed Two Indians held his
arms while third shot the brave man
through the body with his own rife. Mean
time Mrs Means ran back into the house with
her infant and vainly tried to barricade the
door With fierce yells they burst into the
house. and with one ball killed the infant and
pierced the mothers breast.
Mollie Finney was Mrs. Means' sister, a
blooming young damsel, high colored and
plump They seized her in her night clothes
and carried her off to Canada. gIyl ng her
blanket TO help cover her. AT Quebec they
sold her TO farmer for So in money and a
bottle OF strong water. For a long time Mol
lie worked in this farmers fields, but he sud-
denly became jealous of a young French
Canadian who was seen TO pay her some
marked attentions, and locked her in her
chamber in his house.
About this time there came to an anchor
age before Quebec certain bold Capt, Nc
Lellan. of Falmouth Me, i'll his fast brigan-
tine. He learned Mollie's story and secretly
arranged with her plan for her escape
One night he threw rope To her window
and she lowered herself to the ground. Be-
fore morning she and her rescuer were sailing
rapidly down the st. Lawrence before u
stiff breeze, bound for Falmouth. You can
guess the sequel how they fell in love and
were married. Lewiston Journal
