A MOOSE IN BELFAST. Martin s. Gray,
who lives on the Belmont road in this city,
saw moose last week while out partridge
hunting. The animal stood broadside to not
more than thirty PAGES away, and would have
been an easy shot. A man living in East
Belmont reports seeing a moose Sunday.
probably the same animal. Deer We're a
rarity in this county few years ago, but
since the law has been on they have become
very numerous. A moose, however, is a
novelty.
UNCLE TOMS CABIN. The next attraction
at the Belfast Opera House will be Stetson's
Uncle Tom Co., Wednesday evening, Nov.
81. An exchange says of this company:
Stetson's Big Uncle Toms Cabin Co. drew
a packed house at the Grand Opera House
last evening. The special scenery, OF which
they carry full carload, was very tine. A
good performance of this ever popular play
was given. Special mention is deserved
to the many pleasant specialties. The two
Topsies are the best ever seen here and are
accomplished dancers. The Lone Star Quar-
tette rendered some pleasant negro melodies
in fine manner. The African mandolin
students were called on Tor tour enCOreS.
An amusing combination of circumstances
occurred here recently. Last Sunday after
noon young man returning from a bicycle
ride collided with skunk, with the usual
result. On reaching his place of business he
buried in the earth such portions of the
wheel as were affected by the odor, and as
a precaution against theft chained the wheel
to the cellar window bars and carefully
covered up the whole. A policeman think
ing he had found stolen wheel, cut the
chain and carried the whole outfit to the
lookup, where the owner recovered it after
considerable trouble.
