The fact that there was another New

has recently been brought 10 light as
the result of an inquiry at the pension
bureau. There is a certain lady living
iu Massachusetts who is ANXIOUS to bee
come % Daughter of the Revolution. She
believed that her geneaIugy could be
traced back to revolutionary times
through the records Of the interior
department. To prove this fact She
wrote TO the secretary OF the interior,
asking information as TO the alleged
military service of Deborah Gannett,
her ancestor, who was said to have
served as an enlisted soldier in the
revolutionary war as a member Of the
Massachusetts infantry, Her belief
was confirmed by the receipt of the
following letter;

inquiry referred 10 the bureau 10y Hon.

that Deborah GaHuett. a woman who
served in the revolutionary war under
the name Of Robert Shurtleff, made an
application for pension on September

years OF age and residing at Sharon,
Mass. and her pension was allowed
for two years actual service as pri-
waite in the Massachusetts troops. revo-

The tide of good fortune seems to be
running in favor of Westbrook Seminary
just now. A few weeks since announce
ment was made of the establishment of a
Jesse Davis scholarship fund by the heirs
of the late Hon. Jesse Davis of Lisbon.
This is followed by the donation of $4,000
to the permanent fund of the seminary
by Mr.. N. K Sawyer of Deering. Mr.
Sawyer has long been interested in the
seminary, has served as member of the
board of trustees for many years, and has
shown interest not only by his services
but by liberal donations in years gone
by.
The prospects of the seminary were new
er brighter in every respect than today.
Hersey hall will be put in complete repair
before the opening of the fall term and
the accommodations for students will
then be equal to those of any similar in
stitution in New England.
