HARDWOOD DRIVE.
Roderick Mcdonald has Landed 200
Cords at Ellsworth.

Roderick Mcdonald has Landed 200
Cords at Ellsworth.
Hardwood can be successfully driven
and landed at Ellsworth at a price low
enough to make its manufacture here
profitable. This has been concusively
proven by Roderick Mcdonald who last
week landed 200 cords Of wood at the
head of the falls.
The wood was cut sixteen months ago,
and cut and split into cord-wood lengths.
1t was the intention to drive it last fall,
as an experiment, but the long drought
and low waters prevented. This year
there was plenty of water, and the drive
was started.
There were about $50 cords in it when it
started, but at Amherst tannery, when
Messrs. Buzzell & Rice saw the wood,
they Immediately closed a bargain for
half of it. 1t was doomed there, and
Buzzell Rice report that the wood
burns well, and makes good heat.
The balance of the drive was brought
on to Ellsworth, and came Gas slick a
pin," with absolutely no loss. The wood
is old growth beech, birch and maple.
Mr.. Mcdonald is convinced that he can
drive the wood successfully in the log
He says it should be cut in July and Au
gust, put in the following winter and
driven in the spring. The wood need Iiot
be peeled.
The question of a market for the extern
sive growth of valuable hardwood on the
headquarters OF Union river has long been
agitated. 1t would seem from the latest
experiment that there need no longer be
any doubt of the practicability OF driv-
ing hardwood to Ellsworth and manufac-
turing it at profit.
few months ago it was announced
that there were men in Ellsworth ready
to invest in hardwood manufacturing e
enterprise il it could be demonstrated
that the wood could be driven, and this
has now been done. Such au enterprise
would be of inestimabe benefit to the
city.
MIR. Mcdonald intends to do some
thing in the hardwood business next year
Oh his own account. He will drive wood
| i'll the log, saw it into cord wood at the
Fails and put it Oh the market.

TRAVEL LECTURES.
Another Popular Peoples Course Ar
ranged by Rev. ID. l.. Yale.

Another course of travel lectures, Illus
trated by stereoptieon, which proved so
popular last winter, has been arranged by
RevD .L.Gale. The lectures will be given at
the Congregational church, beginning
Thursday, Oct. %. Unless something
special prevents, the succeeding lectures
Will be given on Thursdays, at intervals of
two weeks.
The purpose of these lectures is not to
make money, but to provide an interest
ing, instructive and profitable course of
lectures for all the people, at such hard
times prices that all can afford to attend.
The subjects will be announced each
week IN the papers. All will be of inter-
est to the man who wants to know some
thing of the world and its people, out
side of his own town, and they furnish
the best way, considering the time and
money they require, of obtaining that
knowledge which is so essential to cui-
ture, and so hostile to narrowness and
bigotry.
The illustrations, from fifty to eighty
for each lecture, are by the best English
makers, and are produced for photographs
of actual plans and people, making the
audience familiar with the same scenes the
traveller enjoys. The lectures are written
by professional lecturers, for the most
part by Englishmen, and their easy
descriptive style will be appreciated by
al.
The hour of the lectures is 7.30. The
warning bell WI be struck before 6.45
and the time bell at 7.25, i'll series of
seVens.
The price of tickets Is 10 cents and each
ticket is for a reserved seat. These are
hard-times prices, surely. The tickets,
with plan of seats, will be on sale at the
store of f, a, Coombs, beginning Mon
day morning preceding each lecture.
Tickets should be secured early to obtain
choice of seats.

Miss Monnghan at WaterNiIIe.

OF Miss Mabel Monag hans singing at
Watervile last week, the newspapers
speak in the most fattering terms. The
Mail, of that city, says:
"The chief interest lin the concert
centred, perhaps, in the performance OF
Miss Mouaghau. for whom as a singer,
her friends predict a brilliant future.
Her selections we're rendered in a manner
hat showed her to be the possessor OF a
voice of good range, and clear, sweet,
pleasing quality
The Kennebec journal says:
"Miss Monaghan possesses very
beautiful voice in purity of tone and
degree of register She was many times
recalled, and was very happy in her re-
sponses."
The Waterville correspondent of the
Bangor Net1s writes:
"Miss Mabel Monaghan, of Ellswort h,
who has delighted our muSlc-loYlng peo-
pie with her sweet voice ana very at
tractive parsonage for few weeks past,
left for her home saturday morning.
There has been no singer come to this
city for many years who has SO com
pletely captivated our musical people as
has Miss Monaghan, She Is destined
to become one of the best singers Maine
has ever produced and that IS saying
that she must rank among the very best
of artists"

Capt. King was buried in full uniform

The only part of his face that showed

glass was broken. and the effect of the

Capt. King was mason and his badge

THE ARk-BORN MAN.


the Light In the AK?
Hundreds of ancient cleaners of mis-
cellaneous curios, legends, myths and
traditions give us to understand that
Cush was born on the ark, says the ST.
Louis Republic. Others claim that
there was q child born on the sacred
vessel, but that it was sacrificed to one
of the wild beasts, Noah declaring that
no person should leave the ark who
had not gone on boardrin the regulation
manner. The weight of the evidence
as it is given by the Talmudic writer's
Is TO the effect that Cush Is the person

as the scores of Biblical encyclopedias,
hand books of ancient history, etc, are
silent on the subject. In = reprint of
one Of the rare old Saxon Chronicles"
Is found clew to the mystery, and an
other slight hint In an explanatory note
in Herbert's "Nimrod." In the Saxon
Chronicles" the following occurs:
'.Bedwig was the son OF Shem, who was
the son of Noah, and he, Bedwig, was
born on the ark" Herberts note in
"Nimrod," colume ii, page 81, says
"Kybelc is the ark, and, as Cush was be-
gotten in the ark. his posterity were, in
peculiar sense. descended from that
ship" Although Herbert made no di-
rect references to the fact of Cush be-
Ing actually born In the ark, he speaks
OF him in several places as "Cush, the
ark-born." The Talmudic writers dis
credit the Bedwig story. but declare
that Cusb was born on the day that
