                                                           MISCELLANEOUS

            An Enraged Editor. Brother Knight of the Bridgton Reporter is down on
     women folks. He gave up his seat in the cars to two of them the other day and
     and because they took it as a matter of course he was highly offended, and charges
     them with indulging in "a foolish chuckle,' says the "didn't look respectful or polite,"
     accuses them of manifesting a "want of decency," insinuates that are "weak," that "their
     jewelry was cheap," "their complexion bad," and that they will "never be dangerously
     exposed to the delicate trials of love."  Why, Knight, what a desperate old bachelor you
    are getting to be.
     
          Captain Stephen Barry of Machiasport, was out fishing for halibut on Wednesday,
     and Friday his boat was discovered containing two halibut, and as the line and gaff
     were gone, it was supposed that having fastened to the third, he was drawn overboard
     while attempting to haul it in. Captain Barry was about 63 years old.

          The dwelling house of Francis Warren, Esq., of Lyman, was destroyed by fire on
     Sunday night last week, and his youngest daughter, about 15 years old, perished in
     the flames.  The rest of the family barely escaped with their lives and the oldest daughter
     who has been sick for some weeks, is not expected to recover. The fire was set by some
     fiendish wretch, for whom hanging would be too mild a punishment.

          Captain Robert Johnson of Gorham, a respected citizen but of unsound mind in
     consequence of a paralytic shock, was struck by a passing locomotive while walking
     on the railroad trunk near Gorham Village Saturday evening, and was instantly killed.
     His body was not discovered until two o'clock Sunday afternoon. This is said to be the
     first person killed on the York and Cumberland Road.

          Mr. Robert Sinclair, of Skowhegan, fell from a tree while gathering apples and
     broke his arm.

          Mr. George Chase, of Waterville, was found dead on Wednesday morning at the
     Williams House in that town, where he boarded.  It is supposed he arose in the night,
     and fell in a fit on his way to the privy.

          On Fast Day a son of Mr. John Moran, of Biddeford, aged 20 years, fell only about
     10 feet from a tree on which he was putting up a swing and was instantly killed.

          Howard S. Griffin, a Private of the Tenth Maine Regiment was drowned on the
     passage from Fall River. Every regiment loses one on its way to Washington.
