Historic Relic of Wonderful Interest

In about 1894, some workman, ex-
cavating for dam. at Ledge Falls.
on the north branch of the Dead
River, discovered some valuable his
torcal relics of the Benedict Arnold
expedition Ledge Falls is about SO
miles in a westerly direction from
The Forks. 1t is about three miles
above Eustis, in Jimpond Town.
and about four miles over the line in
Franklin county. Among the relics
were something like a peck of leaden
bullets, several bayonets and the bar
rels and other metal parts of some
old guns. The relic of greatest in
terest, however, is genuine Old
Fashioned Pod Anger" This Is
about thirty inches long. The point
or boring part must be of steel,
twisted into shape while hot from a
piece of tiattened metal about two
inches wide 1t is a mighty clumsy
instrument and looks as if a man
would not De dDIe 10 pore anything
with it more solid than piece of
cheese If Arnolds carpenters who
had to build bateaux and sledges,
were obliged to work with tools of
this kind we don't wonder that the
expedition was a failure. We half
suspect that it went to its long rest
ing place at the bottom of the Dead
River from the hand of discouraged
workman who had given up in dis
gust the attempt to make use Of it.
AS is well known, Arnold left the
Kennebec at the Carrying Place and
went over the hills with his expedi
ton striking the Dead River at the
mouth of Bog Brook on what is now
the Parsons farm. The distance is
about thirteen miles but there are
several small ponds so that for a
part of the way he undoubtedly trav-

Finds Dairying More Profitable

B. =. Barker and H. w. Brown,
who live on the Deacon Hight place
a mile east of Athens towards Fox
Hill have gone into darying during
the past year. 1t is of interest to
note that this farm has been cleared
for about 100 years. 1t was pre-
viously used for general farming and
later for raising beef stock. Mr..
Barker was in the fancy steer bust
ness for 90 years and often exhibited
at the fairs. Notwithstanding he
was considered very skillful at that
business, he found he could not plan
well enough to make it satisfactorily
profitable. Last summer he conciud-
ed to close out his beef stock and
put in herd of grade Jerseys. \ In
June the first can of cream that ever
went from this farm was sent to the
Skowhegan Jersey Creamery He
and his partner, Mr.. Brown, find the
dairying business very satisfactory
and profitable and are decidedly
pleased with the change.
They raised last summer on a
measured acre 100 bushels of yellow
corn and they expect to plant an acre
to the same crop this year. A sam
pie of this crop, exhibited TO a New
Hampshire dealer, has recently
brought an inquiry for a supply of
seed. They are at present giving
great deal of attention to a herd of
hogs which they commenced to fatten
this month They are keeping care
ful account of the feed cost and
promise us a list when they market
their product next March.
