which was happily nipped in the bud by
an exhibition OF pluck on the part of
the driver of the team. a horse and
wagon, owned by a Mr.. Wells of Mt

press Office on Water street at about
40. and in the wagon was Frank Ham
inond. also of Mt. Vernon. The horse
became frightened at passing freight

mond to the pavement and then start
cd on the run up the street. He did not
proceed far. however, for Mr.. Ham,
mond chung to the reins and though he
was dragged over the stones at Il very
quick rate of speed for few rods. the
weight proved too much for the horse
and he was stopped before any damage
was done.

Walter Foss has received a relic OF
Revolutionary times which is. aside
from its value as a historical speci-
men, Il decided curiosity. 1t is large
button of bronze, about the size of 4
nalf dollar and perhaps half as thick.
In the centre of the button are the in
itials. &c. W." and above them, in
scroll. are the words Long live the
President" The button was found
near the bank of the Little kennebec
river. in the town of Machias. The
stream is so-called because a colony OF
settlers from the Kennebec went there
and established their homes, during
the war of the Revolution. Among
them was Benz. Foss. the grandfather
of the present owner of the button. who
built log cabin over the spot where
the button was found. The lana Wnere

A NEW CHURCH PROJECT.
The Free Baptists Of This City to Erect
New Edifiee,

Just 80 years from the day Of dedt-
eating the present State Street Free
Baptist meeting house-Noy, a. 1853,
a we'll attended meeting of the parish
was held to see what uction the society
would take regarding the purchase of
IL building lot for new church. After
consideration it was decided to accept
the option held on the j. s. Gushing
property. No. Sc Winthrop street. near
~ opposite the beautiful public library
and on one of the best streets in the
city. This finely located property has
now been purchased and will continue
to be used for time as II residence
until the plans of the society for a neW
eiifice are matured.
This society is to be congratulated
not only for the more than half CEN
fury of faithful ana efficient service
rendered in this community but for the
plans they are making for larger
work in the future. 1t has been the
great good fortune Of the Free Baptist
church of this city to have among it's
pastors some strong and wise leaders.
The venerable ex-president of Bates
College, DR.. Q. b. Cheney of Lewiston,
was the minister when the present
church, was erected, leaving here to
enter upon his great educational work.
For nearly q years DR., Penney was
the beloved leader not alone of this
society but his ministry extended to
a large number in and around the city
who recognized him as their trusted
friend under all circumstances. His
name and work will long be remem-
bered by a wide circle Of friends. The
names of Jordan, Hayes and Lesher
are well remembered as more recent
ministers who have faithfully served
the church.
The Rev. C. G. Mosher became pastor
of the church little more than a yea.
since and has rapidly found favor in
the society and community. entering
earnestly upon the plans for new
house of worship which it is hoped
will be a credit to our city.
