Sounds Like Munchausen.

A Biddeford paper says regarding a
citizen of that city: He used to 90. to
sea, and once when in Portland harbor
he fell from the topmast head of his
vessel, a distance of SO feet and inches
from the deck. He was just about half
down when he turned over and cut the
air for the Rremainder of the distance
head first. The sail was furled on the
main boom, and second before he
would have dashed is brains out on the
deck, puff of wind swung the main
boom little and left it in just the posi-
ton to save his life. He fell head first
into the folds of the sail, and got no
worse injury than little twist in his
neck

present at the dedication. The Union
veterans were escorted and attended by
the A. P. Hill camp of Confederate veter-
ans, of Petersburg and George H. Thorn
as Post, G. A. r. of Petersburg.
The dedication services were simple
but very impressive not only to those
who participated but to the citizens who
looked on. The soil where they stood
was sacred. soaked as it had been in the
blood of both armies. The Confederates
joined heartily in the services. Their
speeches on the occasion were as patriot
ic, their expressions of loyalty as fervent
as theIbest that could be uttered by the
men from the North. They declared
that while they still preserved their old
flags as camp relics, yet we were all after
thirty years citizens Of one common
country and soldiers Of no army but
the army of the United States; That
the Union flag which there foated over
the veterans of other armies was the one
flag OF our country loved, respected and
honored by all. They assured their
comrades from the North that they need
erect no safeguards OF barriers of iron
