SEAL COVE.
March Is.

Frank Elliott, Nathan Smallidge and
Fri Bunker, all Of Northeast Harbor, were
in town last week trout fishing.
A number OF citizens witnessed the kill
ing Of deer by pack Of dogs on Thurs
day last. The dogs started the deer some
where on the mountain, and chased it onto
the ice, and across the pond, back on the
pond and into the open water OF the mill
stream just below the postoffice. Irving
Ashley, who happened to be passing in a
team, ran to the rescue and succeeded in
beating of two of the dogs which were
tearing the deer, when third dog arrived,
and in spite of Mr.. Ashley's efforts made
finish of the animal, which was dead when
drawn from the water. Mr.. Ashley at
once notified the game warden at
Salisbury Cove, and efforts are being made
to locate the dogs, which do not belong in
this town. 1t has been reported that a
bullet hole was found in the animals hide,
which would indicate that the dogs were
accompanied by hunters, who, seeing their
quarry run out upon the ice, dared not
risk discovery by pursuing it farther. All
hope the affair will not end here, as such
violations Of the law should be punished

The sad death OF 8. X. Hinckley and the
burning OF all his buildings Friday after
noon. March 10, was . shock to the entire
community. II is supposed that fire
caught in the hay by sparks or pie@ of
fuse, as some large wood had been split
with powder in the yard. Mr.. Hinckley,
with two or three OF the neigly0ors, was
irving to put out the fire, when he fell
from seaffold and was instantly killed.
As at first there were only few near
enough to render assistance, while his
body was being removed to the next
neighbor, Charles Shows, the flames
gained such Roadway with strong south
east wind that it was impossible to save
any Of the buildings, which consisted OF 4
two-story house, ell, woodhouse and barn.
An invalid sister Of Mrs. Hinckley,
Mr. Rebeccs Thomas, who had not been
out Of doors for years, was taken to MIR.
Shows. The other members Of the family
were Mrs. Augustus Merrill, who boarded
there, and Miss Addie Ingalls,, who has
been as a daughter to Mr.. and Mrs.
Hinckley for years. They were received
into the homes of Mrs. Saunders and Mrs.
Witham.
Mr.. Hinckley, although past eighty
years OF age, was never considered old,
for he was always cheerful, cordial in his
greetings, kind to all in trouble, Q good
neighbor and honored citizen.
The Baptist church was well Allied at his
funeral service Sunday afternoon by those
who had known and respected him, and
who felt the tenderest sympathy for his
wife in tine unusually sad affection that
took from her home and husband in so
short time. Mr.. Hincklcy was con-
slant attendant at church, and was in his
accustomed place one week before his
funeral service.
Mrs. Hincklsy and Mrs. Thomas are
now at the home OF Sherman Hinckiey, a
nephew OF Mr.. Hinckley, who made his
home there for many years.
