h1rbor. An attack upon Falmouth was
believed to be imminent and the alarm
was sent out by runners. Promptly the
natives from near and far responded,
men even in Ticonic. ow Wislow and
Waterville, getting the word and re-
porting at Falmouth. This alarm found
that the sloop-of-war had landed,
helped itself to what sheep and pigs
were on the island and had sailed away
again.
The Maine Branch of the Sons of the
American Revolution has for its pres
ident Col. F. E. Boothby of Portland,
former resident of this city. The
Maine Branch has done great deal OF
good work in way of concentrating
the deeds of the soldiers of this coun-
trys first great war. A monument has
been erected at Valley Forge in men,
DRY Of the men from Maine: another
has been erected at Machias in memory
of both the defenders of that port when
assaulted by a foreign sloop- of-war
and to the woman who carried ammu-
milton for several miles through the
forest to the defence at the port.
There is large and flourishing chap
ter of the order of Daughters of the
American Revolution in this vicinity
and there must be a few descendants
of the soldiers Of that war here now
who have not identified themselves
with the Sons of the American Revolu-
ton. Capt Adams is himself a descend
ant of soldier of the Revolution and
he is also a veteran of the Civil War.
He is che of two officers surviving of
the dozen or more who went from this
section to the ranks of the Union army.
His address is Watcrville and he will
be pleased to hear from any man who
feels certain he is a descendant of a
Revolutionary hero
