"A Cdfhotc Priest .nobbef in Maine. By
a dispatch from Ellsworth we learn that the
Rev. John Bapst, the Catholic pastor in
this city, was on Saturday night tarred and
feathered and ridden on rail in Ellsworth.
Mr.. Bapst was on visit TO Ellsworth when
the outrage was committed
lie was formerly pastor there, and was
there engaged in controversy about the
school question.
The only thing the rufiians say for them
selves IN extenuation Is, that they had pre-
viously threatened to tar and feather Mr..
Bapst if he came to Ellsworth again
lie has been pastor of the Catholic popu-
lation IN this city few months. We under
stand he was born aud educated in Italy.
Since he has been here he has done much
good among the Catholic population, and has
brought about many useful reforms, winning
commentator on all hands. - bangor Mer-
curry, 18Th.
The Portland .9rgus says; We are deep
ly PANIED that such an outrage should have
been possible IN the State of Maine. We
concur with The Mercury in the hope that
the perpetrators Of this wrong may be Sc
verely punished. Meanwhile, ii Mr. Bapst
was assaied for no other reason than his re-
Lyon. the subject will deserve some further
consideration and comment. The outra ge
will not then be entitled even to the poor
chirity of5eing considered case Of Lynch
law ! because Lynch Law is usually regar-
dod a. the result o, some public fury in con
sequence ola known crime, and in this coun
try we trust Ia Ngavcu that msn's religious
opuons cannot constitute him criminal.
Important Legoi Opinion. The opinion
Of Mr.. Charles O'Conner, m the matter OF
the Schuyler ovorissue Of the New IIa.
ven Railroad shares, Is published. II Is We
~ lengthy, and considers the Company le-
galy liable for the acts of It's agent, under
the well known circumstances OF the case
He also insists that the recognition of a
greater number of shares than the State al
lows Is not impractcable and he considers
that Il Is for the interest Of the original share
holders to recognize the over-issue, rather
than pay damages.

we may admire the better ways of our

an old newspaper, an old letter printed

Knowing this feeling to be common,
we publish the following. 1t has no in

TARGET SHOOTING.

The KeHosha city Guards, volunteer
Company, composed of our IRISH fellow
citizens, were out on parade on Friday
last, in their bright uniforms and arms
and all the accoutrcments of war.
They were drilling preparatory to their
appearance to assist in celebrating the
Fourth.
After marching through our streets,
they went over to the Island, and amused
themselves in firing at target.
We were not present, but from what
we heard Of it, they must have had a jolly
time of it.
We learn that Francis O'Kane made
the best shot.--D.
