The auction sale advertised by the
Dauntless Stock Farm to take place at
Bangor on the 18th of October, was, on
account of rain, adjourned to Tuesday,
October 9th, at 12 O'clock noon. The
Farm has concluded to add six stand
ard fillies by Dauntless and SplendOr,
which will be sold at the adjourned
day in addition to those already adver-
tised. Here will be an opportunity to
get some finely bred standard tillies at
reasonable prices.
In the spring of 1890 Mr.. ID. Wood.
man planted seed of the eucalyptus, a
California evergreen, and obtained a
growth of 10 feet during the season. In
the fall he cut it back to about @ feet,
put it in tub and wintered il in his
cellar. Last spring he set it out again,
and now it stands II feet high and has
been in blossom continuously since the
early part of summer. He is going TO
trim it closely, wrap it in straw and see
if it will withstand the rigors of this
climate.
The ladies' lecture association an.
nounce that the first lecture of the
course will be given by DR.. James
Hedley, on Monday evening, Nov 9th,
opened our course last season i'm such
an acceptable manner that he will be
sure of most cordial welcome at his
second appearance. In recent COM
munication from his agent we learn
that he does not speak at all on Satur-
day evenings, and will, therefore, rest
for two days previous to his opening
here, and be in fine condition to meet
his audience.
The Parsons brothers tom and j c.
of Bloomingdale township have been
in continual jangle for year or more
past, and two or three lawsuits have
resulted from their differences. Tom
was recently released from jail on bail
for his appearance at the circuit court
to answer to charge of SANDER pre-
ferred by his brother. Their farms are
adjoining each other, and few days
ago some cattle belonging to j. G.. got
into Toms fields and he shut them up
as hostages for damage. j. G.. went
over to his brothers house, prepared to
pay all damages and take his cattle
away, but the occasion afforded too
good an opportunity for a row to be
neglected, and it was improved with u
zeal worthy good cause. Tom pulled
murderous looking knife from his
sleeve and proceeded to cut and carve
his brother after the most approved
western method, inficting two wounds
in the back and another on the arm.
Tom is in jail pending an examination
Friday before Justice Mason. We are
not informed as to the seriousness of
the injuries inflicted.
"Prohib." took roundabout course,
in last weeks Courier, to find fault with
this journal because, forsOoth, it called
attention to the fact that well-known
habitual drunkards were still habitually
and continually drunk on our streets,
Notwithstanding the fact that the public
saloons were closed land we believe
them to be closed in good faith Has
"Prohib." little pull on some quiet
dispensary, that he is fearful of having
the public attention directed towards
it? Or is it because he, like the major
ity of Democrats who wear prohibition
coats, would rather the whole commu-
nifty should swim in whisky than that u
Republican paper should aid i'm crush
ing the traffic that furnishes their stock
i'm trade? Whatever may have been the
animus prompting PrOhib.", it is safe
enough to assert that temperance had
nothing to do with it, The law officers
have done a good work in effectually
closing the public saloons, but the work
must not be considered complete SO
long as such spectacles as were referred
to in the item of which ''Prohib." COM
plains are daily occurrence.
