Division of the County.

A correspondent of the Portland Argus, in
recent letter to that paper, states that the in
habitants of Bath are talking seriously of pc
titioning the Legislature 10 be set off from
Lincoln County TO Cumberland. We are well
aware that our citizens are subjected to serious
Inconvenience, and obliged to submit TO oner-
Gus burdens, in the way of being heavily tax
ed, in their present connection, but it strikes
US that better remedy can be suggested than
the one proposed above. Lincoln County
should be dirided. The necessity for this has
long been felt, and the present time should be
improved 10 start the project in order that it
may be fully canvassed in season to be acted
upon at the winter session of the Legislature,
when the apportiunng and districting Of the
State is made.
Liucoln and Cumberland Counties are the
two most populous Counties in the State. In
stead of an addition being made TO the latter,
there is the same necessity existing for dis
ricting of the limits of Cumberland, as of Lin
coin. When these two Counties were created
their extensive territory was but sparsely pop
ulated, and no portion of the State has wit
messed more rapid increase of settlements
than that embraced within these two Counties.
They have grown 10 be SO large and ponderous
that serious Inconvenience is experienced in
the transaction Of the public, and consequently
the private business of the two Counties. A
remedy seems to suggest itself by the creation
OF two new Counties, out of Cumberland, Lin
coin and Waldo, in something like this wise.
Taking Freeport, Pownal, Durham, Danville,
and Brunswick, from Cumberland, with all
the towns in Lincoln west of the Kennebec
river, as follows Bath, Topsham, Bowdoin,
Bowdoinham, Richmond, Georgetown, and
Phipsburg, aud making one County, with the
shire at Bath-then Woolwch, Dresden, Wis
casset, Alma, Jefferson, Whitefeld, Edgecomb,
Newcastle, Nobeboro, Damariscotta, Bristol,
Bremen, Boothbay, and perhaps Washington,
would make neat and compact centre Coun-
ty, TO occupy the public buildings at Wiscasse,
and the rest of Lincoln, as follows: Waldo
boro, Warren, Thomaston, Gushing, Friend
ship, St. George, Union, Patricktown, Rock
land, with few towns from Waldo, such as
Liberty, Appleton, Palermo, Hope, Camden,
Vinalhayen, and the Islands, would make
snug, but sufficiently large and populous Coun-
ty, and with the shire town at Rockland, we
have no doubt that all of the inhabitants Of
these places would be much better commoded
than at present, atlsas- asisisnU5as tfo

That is to say, the whites have increased in

to be accounted for, Why is it that the whites
increase in so large ratio, while the blacks
have actually decredsod' The casual observer
might attribute it to accident or chance, but
unquestionably there is some deep-seated cause
for it.
That there is great disparity between the

ExTRAoRDiNARy CASE. We find revealed

About six weeks since, John II. Taylor,
Of Edaemout, in this County, was severely
wounded by the bursting Of his gun. The
breech blew Out, struck him on the forehead
bel ween the corner Of the eve aud nose,
making wound that was for several days
considered dangerous. He recovered slowly
and was able TO Ga out upon his farm and
give directions about his business. On
Wednesday or Thursday Of last week. DR..
Aiken discovered that the breech Of the gun
was IN Mr.. Taylor's forehead, having passed
in below the region of The brain. Drs.
Drece and Huddleson were called, and the
three physicians after a severe effort by the
use OF torceps, extracted the iron, which was
nearly three inches in length half an inch
thick. and varying from three quarters 10 an
inch in BREADTH The removing OF the from
was severe operation tor The patient, tut
we since learn that he is more comfortable

comes within the limits OF the miraculous,

Our African Population.

The late census exhibits some extraordinary
facts relative TO orr colored population, which
furnish subject matter for much refection.-
Thus, ii appears that
LIST. III New Hampshire, Vermont and Con-
necticut, there are less colored persons now
than there were thirty years ago.
I'd. The increase in Massachusetts in the
last ten years, is only los, Notwithstanding the
extraordinary growth of Boston and vicinity

The BIBLE.-This first and greatest Of books
was entitled to and received the honor of being
the first printed. The most valuable OF all
works is thus the noblest monument to the
most important of all arts. OF the first edI-
ton eighteen copies are known to be In exls-
lance, twelve of which are IN England and
what is remarkable none have since been bet
ter printed. The art being at first kept secret,
the rapid production Of copies was attributed
to the Devil, by his acquaintances, who had
not read enough of the book to find out that Its
express object is to kill the Devil.
