Two stone workers In Rockland have done
themselves a good turn while doing one for
a fellow workman. Two years ago William
N. Spear .quarryman, lost both arms in an
accident, all attempts to procure ready-made
arms failed, and the unfortunate man feared
he was doomed to helplessness for the rest
of his life. The two men, Wilbert G. Ulmer
and Timothy E. McNamara undertook to
make pair of arms and succeeded SO well
that Mr.. Spear can feed himself and do
many other things with them. The inven-
tors have patented their device and seem in
a fair way to make money by their good-na-
tured efforts to help friend in need.
B. F. Jones of Mars Hill, Aroostook coun-
ty has come out "fat-footed' for the Aroos-
took Short line. This action was not taken
as result Of a desire to benefit the world, or
even Aroostook county, but for his own con-
venience. MIR. Jones is a single manufact-
urer and desiring to send his shingles to
market he sent his team to the nearest rail-
road, which was to the st. John river to the
N. b. R. r., but was soon notified that he
could not ship freight from that point, SO he
was obliged to haul them back and then haul
them to Fort Fairfield station.

" To the Spring Of 1861 belongs the story Of
the Red River Expedition, conducted by Gen.
Banks. The Object had in view WAS the cap
ture OF Shreveport, the seat Of the Confederate
Government of Louisiana. strong land
force was 10 march up Red River supported by
tigct Of gunhoats under command Of Admiral
Porter The army was composed Of three
divisions: Tho tT5t, from Aicksburg, number

the second, from New Orleans led by Gen.
Banks in person and the third, irom Little
Rock, Ark under command OF Gen. steele.
80 In the beginning OF March Smiths Dlyis-
ion moved forward to Rcd Il. yer and was Joined
by Porter with tine feet, while on tho l3th Of
the same month the advance reached Fort De
Russr which WIS taken by assault The Con-
loderates retrattcd up the river TO A cNaudria,
aud on the 10Th that city was occupied by the
Eederals Three days afterwards Naichit1chcs
was captured; bus here the road turned from
the river andsurthor cooperation between the
eunhoats and the army was impossible. The
fotlla proceeded up sttTcam toward Shreyc-
port and the land forces whirlcd Of in cir
cult to the left
Ou the sJh ofeApril, when the advanced
bugadcs were approaching the town OF Mans

the FedcTals were completely routed. The

hard lighting OF the Division Of Gen. Saith
VINO covered tho retreat 10 the river Nearly
5000 men, 20piecgs Of artillery, and the supply
trains OF the Federal army were lost i'm these
disastrous battles, To the Government tic
Eoa River Expedition was a source Of much
shame aud modification. Cen. Banks was re-
