LIBERTY. A singular mishap occurred
in Montvile one day last week. AS Sela
Nelson of this town was returning from the
Jacob Cain place in Montville with load
of hay, while passing through a piece of
woods between Frank Mayhew's and
Charles Davis some person by design, for
mischief or malice, came from out the woods
and set the load of hay on fire. Quicker
thay fol To alota
enveloped in flames, and Mr.. Nelson and
his man had scant time to escape from the
load losing their overcoats and getting some
what singed. They detached the horses,
and some men coming along assisted them to
upset the rack into the ditch and they saved
the wheels, but the rack and contents were
destroyed. On searching for the cause they
found that within twenty feet from where
they stopped were the tracks of man W no
came out from the woods on one side of the
road, came few steps toward the load and
turned into the woods on the other side of
the road No cause is assigned for this
cowardly act of vandalism Mr.. Nelson is the
administrator of the Cain estate and had
bought the hay at its appraisal and was
hauling it to his home in this town. He
knows of no enemy that would commit an
act of that kind for revenge. The people
of this town were so much startled last
Thursday that cold chills ran down their
spinal columns. At about 80 p. m. a cold
wave swept over us. The day had been
an exceedingly hot one, the thermom-
eter at noon registering 90o N the
shade. which is hot day with us. At 80
p. N. the record was So; but ten minutes
later it was but IS, falling IS degrees in ten
minutes. The sky was clear; not cloud in
sight, and no apparent change of wind. 1t
caused all who were out with thin attire to
hump it. IL. c. Morse and wife have been
visiting in Thomaston, Rockland and Vinal-
haven the past week. The members of
the order of Eastern Star of this village Wis
tied a like order at Lincolnvile Beach We'd
nesday and report fine tune. They are all
loud in praise of their entertainment. Their
vivid description of the splendid supper,
where four salmon and fine lobster salads
were served, caused many a mouth to wa
ter and many an eye to turn longingly Lin
colnvileward. But Providence came to the
aid of some of us, at least, on Sunday. Wales
Sherman caught beautiful land-iocked sal
mon about two feet long, in our lake, the
first of the season. We had the extreme
pleasure of sampling liberal slice. of the
same, and do not hesitate to say that it was
the equal of any salmon ever taken from any
weir at Lincolnvile. Oh, We Eastern Stars,
We are not the only pebbles on the beach !!
There are others. We may be happy yet
THE Sunday school children held chill
drens day service at the church, which was
we'll attended. z. Several members of the
Grange attended the field day at Sycamore
Farm, Camden. Miss Nellie Hunt has re-
turned to her home in this town after spend
ing the winter in Boston. Frank Brown
has moved from the B. c. Knowlton house
on the Knowlton road to the Turner house
