ed by Miss E. NJ. Pond, librarian of the Bel
fast Free Library, for use of the public
schools in observing Lincoln's birthday

the steamer. After the sheep We're landed
some men undertook to drive them through
TO Belfast but before they got off the wharf
they began to fall down. They We're taken
as far as A. B. Crockett stable where they
We're lodged for the night and fed. They
will be driven to Belfast this morning.

from Belfast with another flock which W. A
Arnold was to buy in Hancock county

be too much for them and loaded them on
the cars at Rockland. Mr.. Arnold arrived
here Saturday on steamer Castine with 60
sheep and a cow which he bought in Brooks
vile and Penobscot, and shipped them by
rail with a few head of cattle bought by
