Some very lucky escapes from bad ac-
cidents have occurred here recently.
Young Forbes left his team at the depot.
the horses took fright, turned and start
ed for the village, but train had just
closed the crossing, causing them to 60
over a bank, horses, dumpcart and all
rolling over and over, breaking the cart,
and giving one horse the dumps.
Wednesday, as the train was broken
apart at the crossing, an elderly lady,
Mrs. Gerrish, started to 60 through just
at the time the train was backing. A
brakeman called to her to jump, and
she barely cleared, the train striking her
dress.

lacerated finger badly, tearing the flesh
from the bone.

The frigid wave has passed by after
doing considerable damage to corn and

Plaisted Whitman has dug and put
into the cellar one hundred and three
bushels of giant potatoes, besides about
twenty bushels of smaller ones. He Is
now picking his apples. He will moi
have so many as he had last fall, but the
color will be richer.
We this day received from Mr.. Henry
Whitman of Woodstock two apples Of
the Wolf River variety, measuring each
thirteen inches in circumference and
weighing both together tiny fraction
less than two pounds, with the infornla
ton that they were fair sample of the
apples raised in Woodstock. A fine
town for apple buyers We should say.

o. G. Whitman has been on the sick
list, but while he feel, better in body
the spirit is still somewhat chagrined al
the loss of a part of his crops. He is
living on rather frosty farm, and dur.
ing that cold wave, not only his sweet
corn froze in the ear, but also the fodder,
so that he could not get it into the
shock. Added to this are at least 100
barrels of grated winter apples, many
of which were frozen on the trees, and
consequently worthless. But the dam.
age does not end there; many of his
trees were so heavily loaded with fruit
that their limbs broke or split off, thus
doing much injury in that way. So that,
taken all in all, it is no marvel If Mr..
Whitman has just little touch of what
is sometimes called the blues.
Rev. c. H. Young preached good SER

text: He knoweth not how. Fine

dication; however, if there was good
seed sown in the right kind of ground,
it may spring up and yield fruit later
on.
Last Monday John Titus called here
on his way to place beyond, and the
inference is that he is prospecting, and
enjoying a good share of the blessings
of life. While here he related spicy
little incident in which Cupid was in
timately connected, but must be omitted
for want of space.
There are now four persons gathering
apples for DR.. Packard on the Nelson
Jackson place, and the orchard is a
sight never saw before and probably
never shall again. The present crop is
estimated from 1000 to 1900 barrels of
winter fruit, and nearly all Baldwins.
The doctor has 1900 more trees planted
and all of the Ben Davis variety.
Within about as many weeks seven
persons have passed to the other shore,
with all of whom l had been more or
less acquainted in former days; and four
of them were relatives, either by blood
or marriage. Here are the names of the
persons referred to: Capt. Lewis Bis
bee, Sumner; Lincoln Twitchell, Oxford ;
Mrs. Fessenden Swan, Lewiston; Mrs.
Aionzo Abbott, Franklin Plantation;
Mrs. Adelbert Alley, Hartford; Mrs.

one of fourteen children, and the last
leaf to drop from the family tree.

CHAMBERLAIN's COUGH REMEDY

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures colds
and grip effectually and permanently,
but prevents these diseases from re-
sulting in pneumonia. It is also a GER
tain cure for Group. Whooping cough
is not dangerous when this remedy Is
given. It contains no opium or other
harmful substance and may be given as
confidently to baby IS to an adult: 1t
is also pleasant to take. When all of
these facts are taken into consideration
it is not surprising that people in foreign
lands, as we'll as at home, esteem this
remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having
once used it. For sale by Shurtleff &
Co., South Paris; Jones Drug Store, OK
ford; Noyes Drug Store, Norway.

Here and There.

New York's long-delayed but stu
pendous subway is to be formally open
ed Oct. 9th. This subway is one of the
marvels of modern engineering accom-,
plishment. Meanwhile the demands OF
business are continually crowding the
residences off Manhattan, and the num-
Der to be carried into the city and out
again daily is constantly increasing.
The transportation problem demands
subways, but the demand increases faster
than it can be met. 1t is doubtful il
the new subway gives anything more
than little temporary relief, and other
subways are already planned.

 THE PRICE OF A CoAT-Manuel
 Ochoa was before Justice Burnett yes

 from Charles Coby. The coat was on
 exhibition having been found in the possession of Ochoa. He made a de- fense: He said in the first place that
 he had not stolen al coat and that Coby
 had got him confounded with somebody i else. Regarding the coat he tried to
 confuse its identity and to show that there might be in this world two coats
 so nearly alike as to deceive the very
 elect. But the testimony of Coby was
 so direct and he was so positive that he was not mistaken about the identity of the defendant that Ochoa was found
 guilty and sent to the county jail for thirty days.
