OTISFIELD.
A METEOR SEEN.

Otisfield, Aug. 22.-There was a small
meteor seen in Spurr's Corner Tuesday
August IS. 1t was fast burning up and
giving forth white with now and then
flash of red, blue and green light; it
could not be found after striking the
ground as the exact direction of its fall
could not be determined. Two other
meteors were seen the same day and
about the same time, having the same
general appearance; one was in Otisfield
and the other in an adjoining town.
A party from Otisfield took the famous
sail IN the steamer Hawthorne over Lake
Sebago August 20; some of the party
took the boat at Harrison village and
others as Naples; the day was perfect
and all who went enjoyed the sail.
Mr.. Hutchinson, the last representative
of the original Hutchinson Family"
went from Naples to Sebago and all
on the boat were pleased to see Mr..
Hutohinsons and many enjoyed few
minutes co reservation with him.
