Mr.. Edward Pray of Mt. Desert, en-
gagged board at the Holmes Hotel one day
last week, and soon showed by his strange
behavior that he was not in his right mind.
Refusing to leave his bed, he alleged as
reason that he must remain there until he
could be married; so it is thought that
disappointment in love may be the cause
of his insanity. The proper authorities at
Mt. Desert were notified of his condition,

Der stricken hearts called to resign
Their loved by deaths fell blow.
And though since that sad burial day,
When meath the sod our friend we lay,
Seedlings bath time to grow,
And spread aloft their branches wide
O'er that grave by the mountain side,
Like peace doth it bestow.
And all adown through these long years.

Mem'ry's pictured that bier.
Still in our supreme hours OF need,

Twill banish every fear.
