| Freeman NJ. Wood, the present County
Treasurer, announces that owing to other
business matters demanding his attention
| he will not be candidate for denomination
, for that office before the Republican county

| 1t is always question as to what the sea-
son will bring forth in the way of flowers
for Memorial Day. This year the apple
trees were in full bloom, and what is pref
tier than an apple blossom? Last year we
did not have the apple blossoms. Lilacs,
which are largely used some seasons, were
not in blossom generally this year. and
out door flowers were scarce. But the
| Hamilton greenhouse was full of bloom and
color, the floral display exceeding that of
any previous year, and the orders for flow
ers were large.

A recent valuable addition to the Belfast
| Free Library is a set of Perfec-Steneoplis
made by IL. C. White & Co. The views,
which are put up in most attractive cases in
the form of books with the name of the SET
| on the back, are excellent, and doubtless
there will be a large call for them as soon
as their value is realized. The sets are OF
Italy, Egypt, Germany, the Rhine and its
castles, and there is also miscellaneous
group including pictures of manufacturing
processes, etc. They may be called for al
the desk and used at the reading tables in
| the library.

resident at Dark Harbor, and when bound
to Boston few years ago with her sailing

board. Later she was picked up and towed
into Tenants Harbor by some fishermen
and was libelled and sold there at Marshall
