LIBERTY. The thing that has exercised
the minds Of the people in this vicinity for
the past few weeks is in relation to the
whereabouts of Rudolph Cox and his con-
at Belfast a few weeks ago. 1t is known
that they have been lurking in this vicinity.
Houses have been entered, clothing, food
and cooking utensils have been taken away,
COWS MIXED, etc. Last week woman
while blueberrying on the plains found
pair of prison pants. Another person
found some dishes that Timothy O'Neil
recognized as those taken from his home in
his absence. Mr. O'Neil also lost at the
same time two good coats. He was away
from home for two weeks, haying, and is
unable to tell at what time his house was
entered Cox had lived as neighbOr and
with him at times and was familiar with
the house Some persons claim to have
seen the two men and some believe it while
others do not. Some think they are still
lurking in the vicinity, while others think
they have left for parts unknown 1t is
debatable question, and one that is very
much debated. 1t is evident that some per-
son or persons know of their whereabouts,
and all property owners in that vicinity are
exceedingly anxious that they should be re-
captured as soon as possible, for before his
arrest Cox had threatened to set fire to some
of the premises. ...Several changes have
taken place in the mail routes within week.
Geo. Hall, the contractor for the Waldoboro
and Branch Mills routes, bought the Cargill
place and moved here last spring. He has
now sold the latter route, his place, some
horses and carriages to Charles Marden.
Mr. Marden has also bought the Freedom
route from E. P. BoyntOn. Mr.. Hall will re-
turn to his farm in North Union. -. Lenden
Cook has bought what is known as the Mill
house, corner of Mill and River Streets.
Mr. Skinner of Boston, who owns the Geo.
Bowler farm near the lake, is doing quite a
business gathering D1ueberries from his
pasture, which has been open to the public
heretofore. He has had from 10 to 80 Wo-
men and children picking, and pays them
five cents per quart. One woman has made
S1.50 per day land no one who has picked all
day has got less than $1.OO This is consd-
cred good pay, for blueberries are sold in
the market here for cents. But Mr.. Skin
ner's berries 60 to Boston, where they are
sold at from 10 to 10 cents per quart. Mr..
Skinner is in Boston. His wife and E. p.
Boynton look after gathering and shipping
the berries and ship from 10 to 15 bushels
every morning This wild pasture, that
heretofore has paid nothing, will this year
net the owner more than the value of his
hay and apples combined. ...Alton Rowell
of the Kingdom has gone to Worcester,
Mass, where he has secured a position in
the Hospital. -. Considerable grain is being
threshed at Ira Grams mill. A very good
yield is reported. The c. E. Society will
have lawn party at DR.. Hoit's next Friday
