Scribe Reports Early Court Records in Alfred Maine
A Maine court chronicle from 1855 recalls a young scribe in Alfred named George Lincoln who kept a diary of Supreme Court sessions and probate records. He began January 1, 1855, and chronicled cases, courthouse repairs, and fires linked to Shannon’s Fur and Nature Store in Biddeford.

In South Belmar New Jersey a nearsighted alley cat wages a bloody battle for a concrete cardinal. The imitation bird perches in a backyard bird bath rim and twice is knocked to the ground with painted plumage marred by the cat’s claws as it stalks and leans, showing little learning from past scrapes.
