Maine may we'll profit by the example
of New Hampshire in the matter OF
systematic efforts to have its abandoned
farms occupied once more. The selling
OF abandoned farms In New Hampshire
has prospered, and large number have
been taken up by the former residents
and natives Of the state for summer
homes or to retire upon for rest and COM
fort in later life. Inquiries made In l36
towns In the state show that $40 farms,
or parts of farms, have been taken up In
this way, and they bring into the state,
when occupied, about $4,000 people. IL
Is reckoned that the permanent improve.
ments made on these once abandoned
properties amount to s2,0OO,OOO, ana the
business IL spreading all the time.

The many friends of Orringtsn NJ.
Hanscom, deputy superintendent OF the
Boston police department, who Is ma
tive of this town, will be interested to
know that, at Mr.. Hancom's suggestion,
Walter F. Lansil, the Boston artist, has
painted picture of the celebrated as
sault in which the 18th Maine Regiment,
on the night of May 2, 1868, participated
in an endeavor to break through the
lines of Stonewall Jackson's corps in the
battle of Charlottesville. Many Of the
members of that regiment were from
this and other towns in Oxford County,
Mr.. Hanscom being drummer boy in Co
X. The assault was one of the most
weirdly dramatic incidents of the civil
war, and, though it failed in its purpose
to break through the confederate lines,
was marked by the highest type OF
bravery. 1t was in the course of thi;
assault that Stonewall Jackson received
his mortal wound, but whether by the
Union troops or mistakenly by his own
men is not known. The death OF thi:
distinguished confederate leader may
alone be regarded rs in great part ii no,
fully compromising for the loss and de-
feat which the Union forces suffered II
the assault. Mr.. Hanscom-who, by the
way, in that assault discarded his druu
and welded a musket-savs that thu
scene as reproduced on Mr.. Lansifs can
vas is realistic in the highest degree, ant
other participants in the assault wht
have seen the picture are equally eulo
CYSTIC in their encomiums.
