Monroe in Waldo county has always
been famous tor its fossils and now
comes Mr.. +. y. Wilmington, who has
found a new remain of former days.
1t is of great interest to local biologists
inasmuch az the same vein of stone
found down there has been found by
Bro Tracy in Lewiston. But the stone
found by Mr.. Wilmington is packed
full of fossil shells. The Rockland
Opinion says: The imprint of the
shells is beautifully clear. plainly
showing the most delicate tracery of
their formation. We are not sufficient
ly verSed in science to give a good deS
cription Of the specimen, but it much
resembles the phosphate rock that
comes from the South Carolina coast:
the rock in which the shell fossils arc
imbedded is somewhat harder. how
ever. Monroe is some % miles from
the shore of Penobscot bay, but these
shells indicate that at some time the
sea laved the foot of its hills and that
marine life was plentiful there.

iff in the State:
Augusta. January 26. 1898.
My Dear Sir: More than 10000 resi-
dents and citizens of Maine have
signed petitions and a statement. in
forming me that the prohibitory law
is openly and tlagrantly violated in
many cities and towns. owing to the
failure of the officers whose duty it IS

Petitions so numerously signed by
many leading citizens demand and
should receive attention.
The constitution of the State of
Maine makes it the duty of the Gov
ernor to see that the laws are faithful
ly executed. Section of chapter so of
the Revised Statutes makes it the
duty of sheriffs to obey all orders to
enforce the laws issued to them by the
governor.
i. therefore. earnestly request and di-
rect that you, as sheriff use all rea-
sonable efforts to faithfully perform
every duty. which your oath of office
and the laws Of the State require of
you, to the end that hereafter il
