W. B. washburn of Hyde Park, Mass,


has sent The Journal photograph from |
negative made several years ago from tn
Kilgore photograph rooms, Masonic Temple
now occupied BY the Waldo Club. Tn
negative was poor one, and Mr.. Washburl
thinks this may be the only print of it. 1
shows in the foreground the roof of thu
Howes block, the Odd Fellows block il
course of construction. Chases corner, thu
custom house, Crosby Inn, which shows it,
whole front, and the houses beyond or
Congress street. Although Mr.. Washburr
calls the negative poor one the different
buildings, even those in the background
are quite distinct and are readily recognized
Henry G. Marden tells a good story or
himself. Last Sunday, accompanied by his
wife, he started to drive to Maple Grove
campmeeting. On arriving at Goose river
he saw pail on the bridge and got out to
water his horse. Descending to the stream
he dipped the bucket into the water and
was lifting it out when the bail gave way
aid he went in headfrst. On regaining his
footing he made his way out on the opposite
side and to his wife's enquiry as to what
was to be done, said there was only one
thing to do and that was to 60 home. The
horse did not get his water, the bucket was
at the bottom of the stream. and the attend
ance at the campmeeting was lessened by
two.
