Probably Caused by Jealousy.

Complaint has been made to this
office, by the people at Riverside, that
they are being Disseminated against
by the post-office at Encampment.
They say that everything is done by
the Encampment office to make it
unpleasant and i%nconvenient for them
that is possible. For example a let
ter mailed at Encampment, addressed
to any one at Riverside, instead of be-
ing put in a pouch and sent to River.
side, is put in the Saratoga pouch,
comes to this place and then goes
back to Riverside the next day. If
this is the case and the people of Riv-
erfide are being Disseminated against,
then there is someone at Encamp-
ment who should be looked after and
made to do what is right. The Unit
ed States Government is not concern
ed in the matter of local jealousy be-
tween towns and thinks just as much
of the rights of the people of one
town as another.

pose of it.

Planting Evergreens.

A. j. Chichester has set out about rs
evergreens for citizens the past two
weeks. Formerly it was thought to
be impossible to transplant evergreens,
but the experiment has proven that
they are really harder than any other
tree which II can plant if the proper
care is taken in planting and in water
ing them for the first year or two, and
they are far more beautiful than the
ordinary trees. By all means let us
plant evergreens whenever practie-
able and the result in a few years
time will pay ten fold for any outlay
incurred at the present time.

An order has just been filed in Con.

Mari at the Insane Hospital.

The murder case of Jacob D. Mari, who
was in the Kennebec county jail, charged
with slaughtering his three children, occu-
pied the attention of the grand jury Thurs
day. Deputy Sheriff Colby Getchell of
Waterville escorted Samuel Mari, father,
and Ida Mari, wife of the alleged murderer,
and Samuel Mason, who was one of the first
to arrive on the scene, from Clinton, to the
court house. The axe with which the fatal
deed was accomplished, played conspicu-
GUS part before the jury. By order of Judge
W. p. Whitehouse, Marr was Thursday
afternoon taken to the Insane hospital for
observation. He will remain at the hospital
until the October term of court, if not longer,
and will be closely watched and examined
to settle the question of his insanity
The Kennebec grand jury April 9Th found
three indictments against Mari for the mur-
der of his three children. He will not be
tried until the October term of the Supreme
Judicial court, as Judge Hall of the Supe-
rior court does not have jurisdiction in mur-
der cases.

Penobscot River Salmon.

AS soon as the chill from the melting ice
gets out of the river the salmon from Vero-
ma and Sears island will come to Bangor
markets, and by the time the dandelions are
yellow in the country fields, the price will
get down so poor man can have a dinner
of salmon and green peas, if he is willing to
buy his peas in cans. There can be no doubt
fishes, both for the sport which it affords in
capture and in it's table qualities when
properly cooked and dished up. For our
selves we prefer a small square-tail trout
fresh from the brook, or a slice of chicken
halibut, but the great majority of mankind
prefer salmon to any and all fish. While
the public taste demands salmon, there will
always be sale for the fish at rates which
will make the catching and the culture of
them of profit to those who embsrk in the
business.-BangOr Daily News.
