Albert Peyser Of Saeo brings home
from Corinna the story of rooster be-
ing struck by lightning. Mr.. Peyser's
SON law, Charles Shorey of that
town, found after a recent severe thhn-
der storm one of his fine ROSTERS dead
under a fruit tree that had been struck
| by lightning near the henhouse. A
| post norton examination of the bird
disclosed furrow about an inch wide.
| plowed straight down the rooster 5
| back from comb to tail feathers, and
| in this path every feather had been
cleanly removed to the skin.

One of the speakers at the last
meeting of the Young Campaigners for
| Prohibition at Bath asked all the boys
and girls present who knew what
saloon is to raise their hand. Not
one hand went up The question was
repeated that there might be no mis-
understanding, and even then no hand
went up, although all had been very
lively in answering the other questions
put throughout the hour.
Goodbye potatoes of 1910 About
the last carload of potatoes was
bought early last week in Fort Fair
field for $3.50, says the Fort Fairfield

poor ones, the potatoes in that region
have been pretty well cleaned up.
| Malaga Island at the mouth of
| New Meadows river is again before
/ the public on account of the terrible
| condition of young girl as the result
| of mistake made in the choice of a
| powder applied te.her head to remove
vermin. The stuff used was of such
a nature that it burned off all her
| hair and left her scalp in fearful
condition. Her skin was burned near
| ly to her eyebrows. A Phippsburg
physician is now treating the case and
doing all that he can to relieve the
sufferings of the unfortunate girl.
