                                                            MISCELLANEOUS


            An old court record in the State Library at Augusts says the Bethel Courier,
          are some of the earliest records of Maine. The following is a specimen of a
          presentation to Court:

                    Wee p'sent Jon West, of Saco, up on suspicion of having two wives
                    Wee p'sent Jon Wadleigh for a common sleeper upon ye Lord's day
                 at meeting.
                     We p'seent Miss Ann Godfry for suspicion of uncivill Carages with
                Captain Champnoonne.

           Says the Lewiston Journal, a teamster a few days since, with a covered team
         loaded with 5,000 pounds of powder for Messrs. Fillebrown's & Wiggin was
         about to cross the railroad near Auburn depot, when he saw a locomotive and
        passenger train approaching.  He could not back out of the way and on came the
        smoke wagon,' vomiting fire in all directions.  He quickly concluded to put on
        lash, and succeeded in clearing the track "by the skin of his teeth."

           One G. W. Whitten of Boston, who stole a quantity of clothing from a store
        in Clinton, and robbed a room mate of $15, was on Tuesday week arrested at
        Lewiston, and now has leisure to repent in Augusta jail.

           The Eastport  Sentinel says Lieutenant Childs, who has gone over the Southern
        Confederacy is a native of that town, a son of the late General Thomas Childs, for
       many years stationed at Fort Sullivan.

          Brother True of the Bethel Courier still continues to write upon his favorite
       topic, the Owl. In his last number he call the stupid creature a "cherub!" What
      egotism!
 
                                                         ACCIDENTS

          While Mr. A. F. Owen of Presque Isle was turning some circular pieces at his
        lathe, one of them flew off and hit him in the face with such force as to break the
        bridge of his nose, and cut a large gash on his forehead, denuding the skull.
          A lad named Dennis R. Winslow was killed at Webb's Mills on Tuesday last,
        by accidentally falling under a moving sled load of wood. When found one of the
        runners of the sled was across his neck.
          Mr. Daniel Wright of  Lewiston, in the early part of the winter cut his foot on the
        instep so seriously that the foot hung down helpless. He is now getting over the
        accident.
          Mr. Thomas J. Brown, of Yarmouth, was fatally injured by falling into the hold
        of a vessel at that place on Wednesday week.  He struck on his head, was taken up
        insensible and died a few days later.


          During the quarter ending March 31st, 1861, the number of criminal prosecutions
      before the Municipal Court was 92.  Of this number thirty were for intoxication,
     four for being a common drunkard, and two for liquor selling.
