bonniness to Dorothea. She end her
husband have made q happy nome IN
Hillary cabin. The settlement hod now
crown to such an extent that their 1arm
had become quite valuable.
Epbert was away part of the time LOOK
inc after his land, which lay some three
miles inland, but as was natural the
oreater part of his tine was passed at
home. 30
others he cleared several cres OF ground
obont the home, and in another year the
rich black loan would have heavy crop.
Dorothea had her & rden, in which
veoetables grew, with here and there
beG of flowers. Climbing vines had also
been planted at each side OF the CABIN
door and. before fall, had spread their
1nvnriance over the side and around 1t
with their green leaves. -,
Rnt the minister had not been idle.
The scene he had witnessed the evening
after Oorothea's wedding could never be
Vanished from his mind. 1t had rankled
in his bosom like some poisonous weed
enreading its fbrous roots and feeding
,Inon his heart. He was now thoroughly
convinced of Dorotbea's evil, and was
restrained from proceeding against her
only by the position which her husband
gave her. But at length even this did
not moi protect her, and he gave notice one
sunday morning, after preaching. that
the next day Mistress Dorothea Inghram
would be asked to appear before the offi-
GERS of the church TO answer to the charge
of withcraft.
The announcement created great ex-
citement, and many were the friends
| who we're indignant, but Mr.. Granville
! had consulted with the deacons of the
church and it was ther opinion that
Dorothea had best be put on trial. II
she we're innocent she would be cleared.
If guilty, it was best to have her guilt
| known.
The rest of the day was one of intense.

In the write-up of tho Kennebec dam S
history, yesterday. the writer omitted
several important points on account of not
being informed of some of the recent re-
pairs made. Since 1870 the apron has
been raised three feet, a logway put in, a
breakwater arranged to protect the locks,
5000 yards of gravel added above the dam,
and 5000 tons of stone put In to make it
more secure, aggregsting an expenditure
Of many thousand dollars There has been
two washouts since 1870 and when the
repairs were made the work was done
well, so that now the dam is in better con-
dillon than ever before, the credit being
due to the Edwards Mfg Co. and Capt
Cole. The company has entered q protest
regarding the taxes assessed upon this
piece OF pruptrfy.

Judge Hall was engaged at the court
house, yesterday, in trying the libel for
divorce of Josiah B. George Of Mt. Yer
non, VS.. Ida A. George, A. NJ. Goddard
appearing for the husband and +. f..
Southland for the wife, The case was heard
In chambers as of the June term. George
Is farmer 40 years old and married his
wife in Gardiner, where she then resided,
about six years ago. She Is about 81 years
of age Last December, she took their lit
tie girl, about years Of age, and went
ostsnsibly to visit her mother at Gardiner,
but soon left there with her child, and
since that has kept their whereabouts a
secret from her husband. He claims a
divorce on the ground Of cruel and abusive
treatment on her part toward him, and
claims the custody OF the child on the
ground that the mother does not take
proper care OF It, The wife does not resist
the divorce, but makes the contest for
custody Of the child, claiming that she Ia
a proper person to take care of it. She
did not appear in court, except through
counsel and relatives. 1t appeared from
the testimony that she left home on &C
count of dislike to living as her husband
was staying at home and never going
anywhere. The divorce was granted and
the present custody of the child given to
the mother, provided 1t is kept with It's
maternal grandmother at Gardiner. The
father will contribute 81 week toward
Its support.
