Just one more thing .......

It took me a while, but I finally found the editorial "follow-up" to the 1857 Waterville Times article, "A Singular Discovery!"

(I really had expected more and suspect that you will be as disappointed as I, but, all-in-all, it really was a pretty good April Fool's Day joke!)



THE  SINGULAR DISCOVERY - – the article in last week’s Times, entitled “Singular Discovery,” was intended as a burlesque upon a romantic tradition which is been more or less current among our citizens for more than 30 years.
It is said that a Mr. Walker lost a crowbar while at work on the highway in the manner described in our article. Indeed the substantial accuracy of the incident seems to be well authenticated, and has been more or less the subject of conversation for many years.
The incident gave rise to the belief in the minds of many that there was a subterranean passage under the brook which was constructed in an age, and by persons now unknown. We believe, however that the matter has heretofore been so thoroughly investigated by the curious as to set the subject to rest. There is no probability that there is, or ever was a subterranean passage across the gulf.
If Mr. Walker lost his crowbar in the manner claimed, it is probable it disappeared in one of the numerous race-ways which have from time to time been built in "The Hollow."

And now .......


It's Spring Break!
