young man who applied for a lodging
at the police station, Saturday night.
The item came under the notice OF
Warren lady who is at present in the
city, and she sent word to the police,
yesterday, that from the description
given, she believed the young man was
one who was missing from that
town, and whose aged mother
was worried about him. 1t was also
said that he was slightly unbalanced,
mentally. The description given, tall.
lied with that of the young man at the
station, and it is probable that he is the
one missing 1t is not known where
he went after he left the station, but
for the benefit of those interested, the
description is given, from general
observation, as follows: Height, 5
feet or inches; weight, about 40;
black hair, dark complexion; age, per-
haps 20 or 25 years; wore blue drilling
overalls and frOck, dark cap, and
heavy rubber overshoes, made to wear
with leggins, and had a carpenters rule
in his overalls pocket. He gave his
name as Virgil T. Paysom, and told the
man in charge that he was a carpenter.
and was going wherever he could get
work. In general appearance he did
not look like boy who had ever been
far from the farm.

While digging the sewer trench at
the Lincoln street schoolhouse, to con-
meet the main, a few days ago, the
workmen were surprised at finding two
frogs six feet below the surface, and
embedded in the solid clay, How they
came there or how long they had been
imprisoned is, of course, unknown, but
from the fact that frogs have been
found inside of rocks, they may have
been there for ages. They were hardly
as large as the common frog and were
about the color of the clay in which
they were found. A peculiar feature
about them was that they had no eyes

The low water in the Kennebec is
making hard work for the mills de-
pendent upon water-joWer, and the
Same condition prevails in the Pcrob-
scot. but the Androscoggn mills are
having the hardest time of all, accord
ing to the statement of a gentleman ia
miIiar with this subject The lack of
fall rains has put all the rivers very
low lin their beds, and many streams
which il ordinary times are almost
rivers arc row barely running at all.
Should The wirtter close in without any
rains, the situation will be most I'M
fortunate for the mill owners and more
SO for those who earn their daily bread
in the mills. The mills on the Andros-
coggin have better facilities for dam
ming up ard drawing off their wal Er
supply, and strangely enough, this has
now resulted disastrousiy, as it has
enabled them to draw the water down
to a much lower level than in the other
rivers They have done it in the expec-
tation of rain, but the rain has not
come, and they are now practically
brought ITO standstill, while the other
rivers. where the natural conditions
prevail are somewhat better off. 1t is to
be hoped that heavy rains may come
soon to relieve the situation.
