From Milbridge

Mr. James Leighton, the old gentleman who attempted suicide a few days
ago is recovering.

Capt. Warren Fickett, who died recently, was buried under the Masonic
order. The Masons paid all funeral expences and made up a purse of $55
and gave it to the widow.

Joseph Chipman, a lad of 11 years, while trying to run down some birds
at Dyer's Point, accidently shot himself, receiving the whole charge in
his side. Dr. Coogins was called but could do nothing for him; he lived
but a few hours. He was sensible to the last taking leave of all his
friends and died with undoubting trust in the Lord.
