Monday, October 9th.
A faithful four-footed friend was put out
of any possibility of future suffering and i'll
treatment last week, when Mrs. j. G. Brooks
had the old horse formerly used by the late
DR.. Brooks, humanely disposed Of The
horse was quite old, and as his summer at
pasture had apparently not proved very
beneficial, Mrs. Brooks decided that the
kindest thing would be to have its suffering
ended. 1t was buried at Mrs. Brooks place
at the North Shore, Northport.
Capt. Thomas G. Bartlett, shipkeeper on
the new schooner Theoline, had quite an
experience last Friday night. The four
gafftopsails had been hoisted, with yarn
stops. A little after midnight the wind
came out of the north with a rush and the
stops parting the sails were all loose, and
it looked at one time as if the schooner
| would break adrft and 60 to sea. 1t was
lively work for one man, but Capt. Bart
lett succeeded in glowing down the topsalls
and making everything snug.
| NORTH BELFAST. Mrs. c. W. Aver went
| to Chelsea, Mass, Sept. Goth, to visit friends

| portion of the summer at their home here,
returned to their winter home in Charles
town. Mass, last Saturday. Mrs. f. A.
Mitchell and Miss Mile Mitchell left Mon
day for Ponkapog, Mass, where they are to
| remain several weeks. Chester Wiley OF
Lawrence, Mass. is visiting his parents,

| WANTED, AN OWNER FOR $1,000. The
Journal publishes this week novelty IN
| the line of "want advtS.,' and which calls
| for something more than the usual brief
notice accorded new advertisements. Mr..
| l. L. Perry, the cigar manufacturer OF East
| Belfast, had occasion recently to look over
some papers in his safety deposit box at
The City National Bank. Taking the box
to the room reserved for such purposes he
examined the papers ard had put them
back, when to make sure he was correct he
took them out and recounted them, and in
so doing discovered 81 200 coupon bond
| between the two bottom papers. Mr.. Perry
was thunderstruck. The prOpertysWas not
his and he could think of no conceivable
way in which it could have got into his
private box. The only articles on the desk,
other than his papers, were an ordinary
block of writing paper and block OF de-
post slips. No loose papers OF any KIND
were in the room and neither Mr.. Perry
nor the bank officials have any idea where
the bond came from. Hence the advertise
ment in this issue of The Journal. 1t is
now up to the owner of the bond to prove
properly and reclaim what to many would
be a small fortune.
A SILVER NEEDING RECEPTION. One
of the prettest social events of the season
was the reception given by Mr.. and Mrs.
| Amos Clement, at their attractive home on
John street last Friday evening, the twenty
fifth anniversary of their marriage. The
house was charmingly decorated for the
occasion by some of Mrs. Clements friends,
whose artistic skill was everywhere IN evil
dence. The parlOr was decorated entirely
with hydrangea blossoms and green, and
the effect was very delicate and pretty. In
the library yellow was extensively used,
while the dlnlng-room was very eHectlve
In scarlet and green. In the sitting-room
sweet peas and other cut flowers, combined
with green, made the room most attractive.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clement were assisted in re-
ceiving the many guests by their three sons,
John, Donald and Stephen, and by their
little daughter Louise. Ice cream, cakes
and coffee were served in the dining room,
which was in charge of Mrs. Essie P. earle
and Miss Nellie H. Hopkins assisted by
Misses Elizabeth A. Quimby and Marguer-
lite d. Pilsbury. The artistically decorated
punch table in the library attracted much
attention. The table around the glass bowl
was banked with fruit leaves, shading from
green to red, relieved by grapes in the same
shades, and other autumn fruits. Mrs. Ada
Swan presided at the table, and was assist
ed by Misses Eunce Mower of Waterville,
niece of Mrs. Clements, and Evelyn P.
Morrison. Miss Amy E. Stoddard opened
the door, and Miss Charlotte Tibbetts was
in the dressing room. Mrs. Gorge
A. Qumby and Miss Caroline w. Field

,, hind screens in the sitting room. added to
the pleasure of the evening. The friends Of
