The Veterans Meeting.

The Waldo County Veteran Association
met by invitation of the comrades of Unity
at the Veterans home, Windermere Park
July 9Th. The morning looked a little
stormy, which kept many away still a good
ly number of veterans were present. The
forenoon was spent in living over again the
days OF 61 to '65; living over again the hard
ships and dangers of the rebellion. The
good people of Unity furnished army baked
beans baked in the ground; and they were
good. After the usual smoke, President
Jones called the meeting to order and the
proceedings were as follows; Prayer by the
chaplain Comrade Hatch; the committee on
time and place, consisting of Comrades j. O.
johnson, Sunson and Mutt, reported-time,
Sept 18th; place to be reported later. The
address of welcome was given by Comrade
Billings. He said it had never been his lot
to welcome the boys to their own home be-
fore. Comrade Stlrson made d short speech
in reply, showing how slender thread the
home hung upon when first started. He
was one of committee of three on location.
Comrade Billings wrote for the committee
to meet at Unity to look over the park.

the matter in my mind, and l went. Next
We had remarks by young man, Charles

song by Annie and Lula Thompson was

others. A vote of thanks was given the
good people of Unity and the choir, by rising
1t was pronounced a tine time, and the boys
went home feeling proud of DR., Billings, the
Home, and good Comrade Libby, who has
charge of the home: also of sister Libby, the
Janitor, who is the right one in the right
place. A. Stinson, secretary.

Nature Studies.

The regular meeting of the Nature Club
was held in the High school room Monday
evening The address was by Arthur I.
Brown, on geology, who began with brief
reference to the neubular theory of creation.
followed by a description of the earth's crust
and it's formation, and an interesting talk on
the geology of Waldo county. Next to the
section around Hudson's Bay, he said, Maine
is the oldest land in the world Her GRANTEES
are the Oldest rocks in existence Mr.. Brown
described the rock beds which overlie the
granite, and explained the phenomena of the
outcroppngs of granite, talcose and micace-
Gus schist, the formation of gneiss and binary
granite, and gave many interesting points on
the glacial action and other erosive and up-
building agencies. The pond of the Poor's
Mills basin, recently described briefly in
The journal. was more minutely pictured
with descriptions of the terraces, the dam
and its breaking down, the territory sub.
merged, etc. Interesting geological features
OF other parts of the State were also referred
TO as illustrations.

Law Court Decisions.

Tileston Wadlin, Esq., Clerk of Courts
has received from the Law Court certificates
of opinion in two Waldo county civil cases,
as reported below.
Twenty-four liquor cases which went to
the Law Court on demurrer were returned
demurrer overruled for want of prosecution ;
judgment for the State. This leaves all
these cases ready for sentence.
Maurice Traube & Co. VS.. Thomas Haugh ;
dismissed from Law Court docket. This
was an action on account and was sent to
the Law Court on facts agreed at the April
term 1899. Williamson for plaintiff Harri-
man for defendant.
Arthur Boyd assignee, in equity, vs.
George W. Partridge. The complainant is
assignee of Hosea B. Littlefield, insolvent
of Prospect, and the respondent belongs in
Searsport The bill was bought TO secure
title to real estate in Prospect. LittIefield
gave mortgage of the real estate in ques-
tion to the respondent on Jan. 9th, 1898,
which mortgage was recorded May 2, 1898,
June s, 1898 he filed petition in insolvency
and was adjudged by the Insolvency Court
to be insolvent on July 13, 1898. The real
estate is claimed under the mortgage to Sc
cure the payment of 5000, which Littletield
owed to the respondent prior to the date of
the mortgage, 1t is claimed that two of the
notes (SS0O) were sold to Herbert Black
June 4, 1898 and that he ought to be made a
party defendant. The hearing was held on
the bill at the April term, 1899. Judge
Strout decreed the mortgage null and void
and commanded the respondent to release the
same. The respondent claimed an appeal
The Law Court reverses the decree and
orders that Herbert Black be summoned as
party defendant. r. F. & ]. r. Dunton for
complainant. Fellows for respondent.

LIVE STOCK

The livestock returns are most encourag-
ing, showing as they do an increase in ali
classes of neat stock except cows, and in
that decrease Of but one. The returns
were made as the property existed on April
1st before the two creameries were in opera
ton. An enumeration taken now would
show many more dairy animals, and young
stock being raised for that purpose. But the
most encouraging feature is the increase in
sheep, in which there has been an increase OF
203 per cent. in number and of 305 per cent.
in value. The number of swine has fallen
off l, but as the creamery business becomes
established this stock will be kept to con-
sumo the skim milk. There is marked de-
crease in the number of norses, and de-
crease of 1 in the total number of colts.
That this class of stock should keep up 80
we'll is surprising, considering the lessened
demand elsewhere on account of the increas-
ing use of electricity and the bicycle. The
mum ber of bicycles in Belfast has increased
the.past year 55 per cent, and of carriages
l 1,3 per cent.

Base Ball.

1t is to be hoped that patrons of the great
est sport on earth will sustain the determina-
ton of the gentlemen behind the game in
the several cities to continue to the end of
the season by more liberal patronage tn an
has been accorded. Portland Argus.
Belfast's experience with professional
team two years ago led her sporting men to
go out of that line and depend upon local
players. This year, Roekland, Oakland,
Newport, Bucksport, Castine and Belfast
each have amateur teams doing good work,
and the games are well patronized. The
people at large feel an interest in the work
of local players that they do not feel for
outside professionals, and Judging from the
reports are witnessing as good playing
as we could get from the class of profess
sonals that would come into country
league. At any rate we are getting better
and more scientific work from our home
team and local amateurs of our eighboring
cities and towns than we got from the pro.
fessonal teams of the Maine League of 1897.
The Bangor Daily News has the following
in regard to Littlehed, who played first
base on the Rockland team in this city July
4th:
Charles Littletleld son of Congressman
elect Littletield, W no graduated from Phillips
Andover this summer, played first base for
the Phillips Andover ball team this season
and at the close of the season after having
participated in every game stood third in
fielding and fourth in batting-an exception
ally good record. Andover had a splendid
team this season and not only defeated Dart
mouth and Phillips Exeter, but gave the
ale varsity team quite a hard rub. The
victory over which Phillips Andover natur-
ally felt much elated, however, was when
the team beat its old rival Phillips Exeter
and nothing was too good for the boys when
they arrived home. Littletield now plans
to enter Yale and will doubtless have no diff
Guilty in making the Freshman team, as
Phillips Andover player is nearly always
qualified to train with the Yale Freshman.
