TWO MONTHS IN THE WILDER
NESS.

James Menzies, who took to the Maine
woods on the 2Sth of May, blew in We'd
nesday noon on his return, fat, brown, and
happy. He says he had good time, and
he certainly looks it. In his two months
absence he covered 600 miles by canoe, Wis
iting in this way all the principal waters of
northern Maine, and penetrating a region
of native wildness rarely seen by sports
men. From Brattleboro he went direct
TO Moosehead lake, where he met his guide
with tent, canoe, and a complete camping
outfit After crossing the lake their course
lay along the west branch of the Penob-
scot and its branches. This is a large.
deep water course, full of rapids and Quick
water, and running through a wild coun-
try which abounds in game. The most
northerly point reached was Allegash lake,
which lies on the divide between the Pc
nobscot and St. Lawrence valleys. The
outlet of the lake flows toward the ST.
Lawrence.
Mr.. MenZies and his guide lived in a
tent for the entire time, sleeping on beds
OF mr. boughs, and moving from place to
place as suited them. The longest time
spent in one place was II days on Round
pond, nine miles from Allegash lake. The
scenery at this point is peculiarly beauti-
full. The fishing was all that could be de-
sired, the trout being abundant and unus-
ia LIZ large. The largest one taken weigh
ed four pounds. The best single catch was
found at Canada Falls dam, where, in two
hours, Mr.. Menzies landed AZ pounds of
trout which weighed from one pound to
three pounds each-and he has a snap
shot to prove it. Big game, moose and
deer, was seen in abundance, and five carl
Dou and three black bears are included in
the list. Several exciting experiences were
met during the river voyages, but no seri-
Gus harm was done TO person or effects.
The month of June was very cold, and
often the beds were the only warm places,
During the two months there was only one
day of settled rain. The woods were and
still are very dry, and it was necessary to
take great care with the camp fires not to
set the forest on fire. 1t required a canoe
journey of Is miles and return to reach a
settlement and tidings from civilization
were received only three times.
All in all 1t was trip, evidently. to de-
light the heart of any true son of the
woods.

DEAD IN THE HAY.
The Body OF Joshua c. webber Found
I'm II. n. Browns Stable Thursday
Morning.


The Body OF Joshua c. webBer Found
I'm II. II. Browns Stable Thursday
Morning.
The shocking discovery Of a mans de-
composing body was made early Thurs
day morning in one of the hay lofts In
the stables now occupied by II. r. Brown
in the rear Of the Brooks House. The pc
culiar actions Of dog and the odor ema-
mating from the place first aroused sus-
picion, and when investigation was made,
a mans leg was found sticking up through
the hay. DR.. Webster, chairman of the
board of selectmen, was notified. When
the hay was removed the body was found
where il had evidently slid forward and
downward, head first, from a NOV of hay
into partly open space between the hay
and the end or partition of the building.
Dr. Webster caused the removal of the
body TO Bonds undertaking rooms, where
1t was viewed by Drs. Webster, Conland
and Pratt. all Of whom agreed that there
were no indications of death by violence.
The features were so far gone in decompo-
sition that recognition was impossible, but
from the clothing and other articles found
there was no doubt that the body was that
of Joshua G. Weber, who had lived in
Brattleboro a portion of the time for the
past two or three years. Two years ago
he worked for Henry Stockwell in West
Brattleboro, and last summer for L. D.
Thayer. He was seen here last April.
A Central Vermont baggage check was
found upon his person, and inquiry at the
baggage room at the railroad station show
ed that the duplicate was there attached
to a telescope bag which contained some
Undertaking and other small articles.
The bag hal been there since Monday,
when Webber probably came to town from
the north, as there was among his effects a
new silk cap done up in paper from o. d.
Gray's, Bellows Falls. There was S2.3S
upon his person.
Weber was seen about the streets Mon
day evening, evidently intoxicated. There
is probably no doubt that he entered the
stable unnoticed, went through to the rear
extension, and up the stairs, where he
crawled upon the hay and afterwards slid
down as stated.
1t is stated by an old comrade that Web
Der enlisted in August, 1861, as a recruit
in Co. c., Second Vermont. He deserted
in September, 1862, and was not heard
from again by his old comrades until he ap-
peared here two years ago or more. He
was Familiarity known as Chief Weber.
A sister, supposed to be living in Athol,
Mass, was notified. The body was placed
in the tomb
A note found in the mans pocket-book
or wallet addressed by Henry Bemis to
Lewis N. Capen, Charlton City, read
"Will send you this man; met him here in
the city. thought he would make you
good man if you need one This would
indicate that Weber has lately been in
Worcester, Mass.
Weber was known locally as Prank"
Weber, hut his army comrades say he en-
listed as Joshua Chief Weber.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an lnhAmed
condition Of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed YOU have A
rumblinR sound or imperfect hearing and when
1t is entirely closed deafness is the result and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
nammed condition OF the mucous surfaces
