L. +. Giles, OF Els S0rth, has a relic
which recalls the days, in the sos, when
JEFF Davis, atterwsrd president OF the
confederacy, was in tnis vicinity in charge
of the INN ed States coast survey expe
ditlon. " lille working IN this vicinity
Davis had nls headq quarters AT Lead
mountain, in No. . plantation. Lead
mountain, sometimes called Humpback
mountain, is the ing hest point OF land IN
Hancock county, and at tue very top of
Il, Davis had ca bin snd hi- signal
station. Here, too, well was dug, and
strange as II may seen, water WAS found
only eight or ten feet below the surface
Only a few scarce distlnguishsbie signs
mark the spot where the cabin once
stood; line OF mouidering wood shows
where the tall flag staff has fallen and
sotted away. So far H. known, the only
relic OF Davis taken from the cabin is
that now in the pos-es-lou of Mr.. Giles
the hand made hinges on which swung
the ca bin door. The hinges We're taken
from the ca bin in 1868 by Eben Moore, OF
Walt ham, aud Daniel Richardson, Of
Ellsworth, who were numbering in the
vicinity, and made a Sunday trip to the
top OF the mountain. Until recently he
hinges did good service on Mr.. Moore ;
barn in Waltham.

Brother Times, don't you see you were
mistaken? We are not going to quarrel
about this thing. In few months we
trust Was hington and Hancock coun-

and THE AMERICAN, will lock together
fingers OF steel in grasp of friendship
