When Eagles Mere came to bat in the ninth inning the score stood 4to'J in favor of Laporte.

A notable discovery of gems was made at the old Drown farm on the road from Marston's Corner to Mlnol, about six miles out of Auburn, Me. In one pocket in a tourmaline mine on that farm, uncovered by a single blast, were found 6000 carats of the finest tourmaline. As they are worth sls a carat cut, this means that the pocket contained* from $40,000 to $75,- 000 worth of the gems. Two weeks ago two other pockets were struck in the same mine which yielded not less than 2000 carats of rough crystals, so that in the last two weeks gems which will run up over the SIOO,OOO mark have been taken out of this mine. The owner of the mine is Forest L. Havey, of Ash street, Lewiston. By a curious coincidence Mr. Farrington collector for the Field museum in Chi cago, was present when the pocket was opened, and the figures given are made up on his estimates.

THE YOUNG MAN FROM WYOMING AT EAGLES MERE. A SULLIVAN COUNTY NOVELETTE. BY THOMAS J. INGHAM. CHAPTER SEVEN. "After father hail been gone about one year, on a summer day, the two girls and I were in the field with the man raking hay. Ihe girls raked the hay into winrows, the man drove the horse and pitched in the hay, wnile I raked after. "Suddenly mother came hurriedly into the field and said: 'You may all quit work and come to the house. The settlers from above are passing our house on their way tb Forty Fort, and they say the Indians are already in the valley. Your mother knows it by this time, Mattie, but she will want you. John,' she added, 'drive the horse and cart to the door; we must take some things with us.' "After we got to the house mother said: 'We can't take much, but we will take what we need the most. We won't get back here soon. Some folks have made very light about the talk of the Indians coming, but I have been afraid of it. I noticed awhile ago that some of the I'ennamites had turned to be Tories and gone up the river, and I heard they went to Canada. They aren't any too good to bring the In dians on use. We'll putin provisions, and our clothes and some bed-clothes. Putin a bag of old potatoes, John; we haven't time to dig new ones; and, 'Cretia, bring the ham from the smoke-house. I've been saving it thinking your father might get home on a furlough, but the Indians shan't have it. We'll take what's left of that bag of Indian meal; and here's the bake-dish, and frying pan and stewing kettle, knives, forks, spoons, cups, and a water pail; there is the salt, too—l nearly forgot that. Now roll up the clothes and put them in and pack in the bedding. We won't stay in the fort long. The ['cnnaniit.es took Fort Durkce, and Forty Fort is not any stronger; besides, women and children are not wanted in a fort where they're fighting. We will stay in the fort to night, and then we will get out of the valley as soon as we can. I had rather be up the mountain and on the road to Easton than in either of the forts. There are no Indians on that road; the Indians come down the river.' "Mother did not say all this in one breath as I have re lated it, but in detached sentences while she was hunting up and handing out things to be putin the cart. When all was loaded she said: 'Now, John, do as I tell you. Don't stop at Forty Fort; drive onto the \\ ilkes-l'arre and Kingston Ferry and stick to it until you get the horse and cart over. Then go right on through the village on the Easton road and keep on until you get to the top of the mountain. Then find a. place to camp among the big rocks up there and wait for us to come. We will get out of the fort as soon as we can and be at the top of the mountain at eight or nine o'clock.' "John did his share of the talking, for he was not a silent man, but I have not repeated his remarks, because mother was clear and decided in her orders, and" John was sure to obey her. lie looked up to her, as 1 have heard him say, as the 'smartest woman that ever trod shoe-leather.' "When John was fairly on his way, mother observed her favorite cow standing under a tree near by, chewing her cud, and said, 'Poor Urindle! I'm sorry we can't take you. The Indians won't spare you, but it can't be helped.' Then she turned to us and said: 'Now, children, we'll go down to the creek, and along it to the river. You know it runs almost in the direction we want togo, and 1 want to take our canoe from the mouth of the creek down the river and leave it as near as we can to the fort. We shall want it early in the morning.' "It was now near noon. Mother had not forgotten to put up a dinner basket for John, consisting chiefly of jolumy cake and butter and stewed veal, which she had over the fire cooking when the news of the Indians first came. She took some of the same kind of provisions for us, adding some garden vegetables and a small jug of milk. She said: 'We'll carry tjiis along and eat at the spring at the head of the eddy. I can eat better when we get near the fort and do not feel in such a hurry.' "As we started I thought of Mattie, and inquired, 'How will Mattie get to the fort?' " 'Why, you know they live nearer the fort than we do,' returned my mother, 'and most likely they arc there now. Widow Orrison will not stop to think before she starts, when she hears the Indians are coming. "We then followed the creek known as Abraham's Run to the river, there took the canoe a short distance down the river until we came to the spring, where we landed and ate our dinner. "How quiet it was at that place! All seemed as peaceful as if there were no savage Indians in the world. The water was so clearwc could see little pebbles far out in thedecp river. Along the curving shores were Continuous lines of beautiful trees of many varieties, with all tints of color that summer lavishes upon a landscape. In the distance, far above the trees along the opposite shore, toward the forest-crowned moun tain. CHAPTER EIGHT. "After we had finished our dinners we drew the canoe into a little cove among some water willows, where it was pretty well concealed; and then climbed up a steep bank forty or fifty feet high, and the fort was in sight. Heavy squared timbers stood up endways close together, sharpened at the top. , "What a scene it was! I beheld what seemed to me a host of soldiers. They were forming in lines, with officers stepping around and giving orders. They had no uniforms, and their arms were guns of all kinds. A great many women and children were standing looking at them. In the crowd I soon perceived Mattie, and running to her I exclaimed, 'Oh, how glad I am that you have got here. I was afraid you would be too late.' "Mattie smiled as she answered, 'No danger of our being late. Mother was in such a hurry to get away from tlie In dians that we did not put up anything for dinner. We have been here over two hours.' " 'And no dinner?' I asked. " 'Not a bit,' replied Mattie. " 'There is plenty left ifi our basket,' said I, and ran to get it. We sat down together by the side of the stockade, and while Mattie was helping herself from the basket, I asked, 'Do you tliink there is any danger?' " 'Mother says we're safe here. There seems to be men enough.' " 'Mow many Tifdians arc coming?' said I. " 'llow should I know?' said Mattie. 'Mother don't know any better than ] do, but says she believes they're making too much fuss about it. She says the Indians will run away as soon as they see our soldiers, and we can go back to the farm in a day or two.' "'Have you heard the men talk?' I asked. 'What do they think?' " 'Yes, I have heard the men talk since I came,' she re plied. 'They disagree very much. Some say there are but few Indians, others say there are a great many. They had a regular debate this morning on the question whether they would go out to fight the Indians or wait for the Indians to come and them. Some said if they stayed in the fort the Indians would not attack them at all; they would go round the valley stealing, plundering, and burning houses. Others said there was an army of them with 1 iritish and Tories, and they would be too strong for our men in the field; so they said, stay in the fort. At last Captain Stewart called them cowards, and said if they were afraid togo out and fight, he and his men would go alone. Then they all agreed togo; and now, see, they are getting ready to march.'
