and Auburn.

mentally from the effects of his own
carelessness. He is employed by a
large concern and the other evening
early with the intention of writing
some letters. He wrote one to the
manager of his house and another to
his best girl. When he returned from
his trip the manager said to him that

liberty which he assumed. OF course

Life would not be what it is in some
of the little hamlets of Maine if it were
not for the icefurnished by the quar-
rels of the people with the postmas-
ter. Sosaid an observing traveller just
returned from journey in Penobscot
county. I've just been up here Al
miles in the country to a little settle
nlent where the postmaster gets per
haps $50 Il year for being the dividing
point between two factions. Everybody
up there is either for or against the
postmaster and that furnishes about
all the fun there is going. The fuss
grew up years ago over the refusal
OF the incumbent to deliver mail to a
erson whose address was not on the
letter and a noisy fight ensued that
was heard by everybody within a mile
and half. Then the offended party
set out to beat the postoffice by send
ing all mail to another office. and in
ducing all his friends to do the same.
The pOstmasters friends rallied tosus-
tain him and did very well until there
vas a change of administration, when
he was kicked out without ceremony
and a member of the opposition was
appointed. Then the formerincumbent
rallied to his friends to beat the new
official out of his little salary by send
ing their mail to some other office.
md this they are religiously doing to-
day"

Preserved peaches will doubtless be
plenty this winter Some fairly good
peaches have already been sold here at
80 cents a basket. and it is expected
that still better ones will be sold about
as low. Home preserved peaches are
about as good as any any preserved
fruit can be, wherein they differ from
merce, and the people who like them
prefer to do their own canning.
