i While local nimrods were securing the
woods on all sides of Ellsworth for game
one day recently, a partridge flew to the
sill OF a third-story window at the hard
wood factory, and, after satisfying its
curiosity as to.Ee wood turning business,
few off. The wise bird evidently knew
enough to keep out OF the woods.

by Mayor Cunningham, at the hearing be-
fore the State highway commission in
Bangor, Saturday forenoon, on the question
OF designating State highways under the
new act. Proposed Estate highway NJ" is
| from West Market square, Bangor,
| through Ellsworth to Mt. Desert toll
| bridge. There will be another hearing at

| A delightful hour vas enjoyed at the
| Congregational church last Sunday after
noon, when Miss Ida F. Brown, the church
organist, gave an informal recital from
8 to O'Clock. 1t is pleasing to Ellsworth
music-lovers to know that Miss Brown
will play at the church each Sunday after
noon from 3 to 4 O'Clock, during which
time the doors will be open to the public.
| OF course no admission is charged, the
opportunity to enjoy pleasant hour be-
ing due to the kindness Of Miss Brown,
who admits the public during the hour
she mas given to practice.
| Howard c. cunningham and Miss Mary
| E. Treworgy, both OF South Surry, were
married by Rev. P. a. A. Killam yester-
day afternoon, at the minister's residence
on Pine street. The single-ring service
was used. Mr.. Cunningham is the son of
Capt. Edward NJ. Cunningham, one of the
| prominent citizens of South Surry, and is
employed at the Elmer L. Rowe carriage
factory in this city. The bride is a daugh-
ter of Capt. Albert Treworgy, and was
formerly employed as a telephone opera
tor. They plan to make their home here.
| Their many friends extend congratula-
| tions.
| Unnecessary alarm was caused in Ellis
1 worth by reports that the schooner Me-
lissa Trask, Capt. Alexander Hutchings,
was missing. Among sea faring men,
little anxiety was felt, as they could not
figure out how the Trask, with thirty or
forty other vessels which cleared from
| New York about the same time, three
weeks ago, had had any opportunity to
| get down Long Island Sound with the pre-
vailing easterly winds. They reasoned
correctly. This morning letter was re-
ceived from Capt. Hutchings announcing
his arrival only few days ago at Tau
| panIin Cove, Vineyard Haven.
! George A. Psrcher, local agent for the
| American Express Co., has sent in his
resignation. Official action has not yet
been taken upon it, and the company,
after urging him to withdraw it, now asks
him to remain until the end of this year.
| This he may do. In the meantime ar
| rangements will be made for new loca-
tion for the express Office. Mr.. Parcher
will, on November 1, complete forty-three
years OF service as express agent in Els
| worth, starting with the old Eastern Ex-
press Co. on November 1, 1870, and re-
| naming with the American Express Co.
| when it took over the business OF the
Eastern. He is the oldest express agent
in point OF service in the State.
