                                                   Local and
Miscellaneous Items

   James O. Hanscom has been drawn Juryman from Machias, January term.

  Messrs. Young & Stimpson sold their steamer "C.H. Mansfield" to Geo.
McAllister of Calais, who has sold it to Robert Ross of St. Andrews.

  Mr. Kerman, 2d engineer on steamer Falmouth fell from the staemer at
St. John Dec 21 and was drowned. The remains were taken to his home at
Eastport.

  Wm. Smith, of Machias, at work for Robert McReavy, near Fourth Lake,
had a leg broken and head injured by a tree falling on him Wednesday
last. He was brought home Friday night suffering badly from the wounds.


  Salmo Fraucis, governor of the Passamaquoddy tribe of Indians, died at
Pleasant Point Friday, Dec 9, aged 86 years. It will now be necessary
for the tribe to choose a new governor, but in this matter the division
long existing in the tribe appear. The "old party" look upon an election
by the whole tribe as an insurrection, and claim that ancient usage
should be followed. The "new party" favor an election. The Indian agent
will probably be called upon to settle the matter.

  Stillman Albee of Whitneyville, was badly hurt while at work in the
woods a day last week by a tree that fell on him. He has not been
brought out of the woods yet.

  Mr. Beriah Whitney of Milltown, NB, was so badly injured last week by
a horse running over him that but small hope is entertained of his
recovery. He is about 80 years old.

  Geo. H. Grant of the firm of J.T. Grant & Co., of Ellsworth, lumber
manufacturers and dealers died Dec 19 from heart disease after a
lingering illness. He was one of her best and most reliable citizens and
business men.
