We want some of the up-to-date:novel
heroes to stop talking 'hoarsely. Here is
a sample of them: "Wretch' he cried
hoarsely;" "You shall be mine!' he
cried hoarsely;" miserable women he
exclaimed hoarsely," and all these
"hoarsely" expressions occurred on one
page of recent sensational novel. The
authors should either supply their heroes
with cough drops or see specialist about
them.

A small Boston girl, who was an un-

mamma, is everybody wicked?" why,
no, my child, of course not" Wered

Cherryfeld.
The voters OF Cherryfield have wisely
taken measures to preserve the shade
trees OF the village. In too many places
the trees, which form the chief attrac-
ton, are left unprotected from the
caprice OF landowners or the ignorance
OF an incompetent road commissioner
until irreparable damage is done.
Two dams on the west branch Of the
Narraguagus river aud the bridge CROSS
ing at Sprague's Falls were carried away
by the freshet last Wednesday night.
The loss Is 1850. Additional damage
may result from the detention of the log
drive OF 5000, 600 feet hung up on account
of the loss Of on of these dams. The
freshet on the Narrsgaugus is the biggest
in twenty years. re
Harry L. Bartlett, OF Cherryfield, holds
the bun, II tales be true, for fine writing,
fine, however, in q sense not dreamt OF in
your rhetoric. Mr.. Bartlett never writes
a letter on anything but the back Of q
postage stamp, while pleasant little pas
times like penning the American consti-
tuition on his great toe-nail is one Of his
before breakfast exercises. His very
latest consists of the Lords prayer and
three additional lines written with steel
pen and with no aid to the eye, within
the space OF about three-sixteenths OF an
inch square. 1t cannot be read with nut
the aid OF microscope, though the eye
alone can tell that it is written matter
and make out a very few OF the words.
Mr. Bartlett has performed a still more
wonderful feat OF writing in the same
manner the Lords DrQVpr within NDaCe
of five-eights OF an inch square. This has
been sent to the leading engraving firms
in this country, and has been across the
water to England and is pronounced by
all who have seen it to be the finest piece
Of penmanship ever exhibited.

One Week More.

The Kickapoos are still holding
forth at the Opera house to standing
room only. The company, although
small, is far superior to the usual run
of small companies met with in places
the size of this city. DIR. Maxwell is
a pleasant gentleman and sets forth
the advantages of his remedies plain
ly to all, with the guarantee OF
''money refunded if not satisfactory,
which guarantee is good and backed
by the cash. The company remain
until next Monday, giving free ex-
hibitions every evening with the
exceptions of Wednesday and Satur-
day, when a nominal admission is
charged. Lee Mitchell, in his imper-
sonations causes flutter among the
hearts of the susceptible young gentle
men and is the envy of the ladies.
He makes a neat lady and his dresses
are superb. His appearance on the
stage would never indicate his sex.
His singing, Saturday evening in
particular, was something out Of the
ordinary his voice being as clear as a
bell. Thos. Burns, the minstrel part
of the performance, does his various
acts to perfection. Mr.. Burns has a
faculty for playing the rather difficult
Negro sketches not usually met with
in small companies. Minstrel COM
panies are ever anxious to secure
burnt cork artists of the Burns stamp.
Last. but not least is Allen st. John,
the Irish comedian and sketch artist.
Mr.. St. John has the power of making
the audience feel in good humOr
which would secure him place in
larger companies. The company is
good and those of our citizens who
fail to see them miss an evening of
amusement they can not very well
afford.

SCRAP IRON AND GOLD.

The Franklin now presents busy
surface appearance, while the regular
hosting of the skips and the daily
shipments of ore mined would denote
that underground work is equally
active. The power house is now
nearly complete, the new hosting
plant will soon be in operation, stock
pile room for No. l is now being
cleared, while the work of cleaning
up the bottom of No. 2 stockpile is
about complete. The big store build
ing is being cut in two and is being
moved, this work being done by John
Taylor, and the ground cleared by the
removal of the store and boarding
house buildings this summer will be
used as stOckpile room for No. 2 shaft
the coming winter. A new shaft is
to be sunk near the site of the black
smith and machine shops, which
buildings we are informed are also to
be moved this fall. The Vulcan
steam shovel is now making the ore
fly at No. stockpile. They are now
working on the last cut and expect to
finish this week. This shovel has
proved a great success and far SUI
perior to all others in stockpile load
ing, owing to the long reach of its
crane, high lifting capacity and speed
in swinging. 1t will make a cut so
feet wide and % feet high, and is now
loading the largest ore cars at the
rate of 20 cars an hour. \ At the
Bessemer, the surface indications
would point to the prospects of busy
winter. A large new dry is being
erected, stockpile room is being pre-
pared and machinery improvements
will be made, Shipments from this
mine are about the same as reported
in these columns week since, some
500 tons ola lily. \ \ The Norman has
been laid out some this week for lack
of cars, missing about shift and a
half. The tonnage asked for aud
shipment by this mine will have been
forwarded about October 1st, and I'M
less other orders are received it is
likely shipments from the mine will
cease for the season. The Mime
sofa Iron company will open and de-
velope the Wyoming the coming
winter, preparations for the sinking
of a working shaft on that property
having been made. A spur track Of
the D. & l. r. will be laid at once
from a point near the Norman, and
the mine will be prominent shipper
another year. The Wyoming is an
underground proposition and will be
in charge of r. III. Charming, under,
Supt. Armstrong, of the Canton
Virginia Enterprise.
The old French River Mining COM
pany's property on French river is to

two. The present officers of the COM
pany are: President, H. B. Payne, of
Cleveland; vice president, Ell. J.

Messrs. Miller and Slimay and others,
are hard at work at Kettle Falls open
ing up big deposit of mica. 1t is be-
lieved that in at least two locations
there are big deposits OF merchantable
mica. If SO, it is worth nearly as
much as gold mine, A private
letter from Supt. Peters, of the Lake
Harold, or Wiley gold mine, gives this
encouraging information: 'This is a
good property. The ore runs from ten
to fifteen dollars free milling, with a
3 to per cent concentrate that will
average better than $4,000 to the ton
The company have purchased an
additional 5-stamps and two Fru-van-
ners, which will be shipped in just as
soon as the lakes freeze over.
