A young man we'll known among us hired
vacant farm to plant on, and for the ber-
ries that grow on it, which are considerable
in a productive year like this, and every
body knew of the proceeding at the time
But the most curious part of the matter is
that people will persist in taking round
about ways to reach back field unobserved
to pick the berries, and when accused of
this trespass they serenely reply that having
lived near the place all their lives, that they
did not know it was part of the farm. o!

AS Mr.. F. A. Dickey was returning from
Belfast last week with load of boards for
a party at Temple Heights he met with
quite painful accident just as he entered
the Methodist Camp Ground. He was sit
ting in a chair on the load and when near
the cottage occupied by Mr.. William Price
his wagon wheels passed over rock, which
caused him to lose his balance and he fell
between the forward wheels and the load,
causing severe wrench to his left knee be-
sides hurt to his shoulders. Arriving
home as soon as possible DR.. Colson was
called and the injuries received attention
and MIR. Dickey is now able to move about
by the help of his crutches. 1t was a very
narrow escape FROM one that might have
proved more serious, if his horse had be-
come frightened and run away.
Oscar Hodgdon was at work for Rev. L.
NJ. Burlington his farm at East
Northport Thursday afternoon and was
hauling load of pressed hay TO
tue city. After leaving the barn Mr.
Hodgdon lighted his pipe and few minutes
later found that his load was on fire. A. J.
Hartman came along just then from one
direction and Mr. burlington from the other
and they succeeded in saving the team and a
greater part of the hay. A blackboard load
of ladies also rendered valuable as
sistance, Mrs. F. W. Mlliken of Portland
showing unusual skill in managing the
frightened horses. Had it not been for the
arrival of the other teams just at the right
time the hay and wagon would have been
destroyed, even if the teamster succeeded in
getting his horsesuni iharnessed in season.
| Several of the summer visitors and friends
attended the concert given at the Belfast
| Opera House last Thursday evening by Miss
| Carrie Louise Cleveland and Miss Gertrude
Emma Hall, and speak very highly of the
artistic rendering of both the vocal and in
strumental part of the program, and are quite
enthusiastic over the superb manner in
which the young ladies performed their
parts. The applause was frequent and
hearty, which no doubt greatly encouraged
them in this their first appearance in public.
Miss Cleveland has a rich, beautiful soprano
voice, and it was very evident to those pres
ent that great care, patience and study has
been taken by the lady under the instruc-
tions of the best masters of the art to bring
| herself up to such excellence of range, tone
and sweetness of voice. The playing of Miss
Hall was mastery and grand, carrying her
| audience into the realm of music with that
charming effect that held them conscious
only of the sweet melody that fioated out
upon them as they listened to the artistic
touch of this highly gifted pianist. It was
| indeed rare treat to those who were pres
ent and many regrets were expressed at the
smallness of the attendance, because the tai
ented young ladies were deserving of a lib
eral patronage. They are genuine artists,
| having spent some time abroad and at home
| perfecting themselves under professional
masters, and are better qualified to please
| and entertain than many of those who come
more for gain than for fame.
