Captain KIdd's Treasure.

Residents in the vicinity of York Beach
are in state of feverish excitement over the
discovery of hieroglyphics deeply cut into a
big boulder, which has always been known
as Capt. Kidd's rock" and which has the
appearance of having been rolled into its
present position. Besides the Ineligible
characters cut in the rock is a map distinctly
traced out. The popularity of the map is
that the long cuts are just three times the
length OF the two shorter, and that the
middle line which runs at right angles with
the others is of the same length as the other
long lines. At the end of the last line deep
hole is cut in the rock, which is supposed to
indicate the spot where Capt. Kidd's treas
ures are hidden. There is an old legend to
the effect that York Beach was the last place

To the Editor Of the Press:
The notice in your last issue liz regard to
the Deering town meeting, to be held Mon
day, February 18th is misleading, in that it
says "two petitions were presented repre-
senting the two factions, those favoring a
city charter and those who favor annexation
to Portland" The annexationists are in no
way responsible for the call. which was
wholly in the interest of city charter The
annexationists never .petiti0ned a special
meeting, but in self-defence inserted the ar
ticle in the warrant relating to annexa-
ton. Yours truly,
