          on Thursday week, fell on his face into woodhouse, and died in twenty minutes.
          It was thought his death was caused by congestion of the lungs, His age was 62.

          A letter in the Belfast Age tells how Captain Kinney, and his crew of the brig
          B. G. Chaloner, of East Machias were seized by a gang of armed men while
          lying in the Saltilla River, Georgia, and brutally beaten until their backs ran
         blood, because they were "damned Northerners."

        Daniel McAllister of Stoneham, aged forty-five years, has killed or captured
        eighty-three bears on or about the range of mountains separating the Oxford
        and Androscoggin valleys.

        Infamous Crime.  A correspondent of the Bangor Whig says that Richard
        Grindle of Sedgwick, who for some years past has run a wood coaster between
        that place and Rockland, has been committed to jail for vicious and inhuman
        conduct toward his own daughter.  Last summer, instead of hiring a cook for his
        vessel, he took his oldest daughter, about 14 years of age to act in that capacity. 
        By severe pains and sad penalties he compelled her to submit to the most cruel
        licentious treatment, both by himself and the men employed on board the vessel with
        him.  The girl at last disclosed the matter, and Grindle was arrested and brought
        before a Justice of the Peace.  He pleaded guilty and offered to go to jail alone or    
        directly to the State Prison at Thomaston, if it was wished.  He was committed to
       jail at Ellsworth to take his trial at the April term of Court.
