A CONSISTENT PARTY.-The same men, in
the same party, that only two years ago at
tempted to rally foreigners TO give the srich
Irish brogue of their voices TO Gen. Scott,
and invoked the g honest German accent OF
another class, and who invoked the Catholics
to vote against Gen. Pierce because his State
excluded Catholics from office, and TO vote for
Scott because his daughter was in nunnery,
now leads the prescription against foreigners
and Catholics.
The very same men are organized into Co
ercive temperance party, who few years ago,
in 1910, were organized to music, with cho-
ruses like this =
Cold water may do for the I.ocos,
Or little vinegar stew;
But give US HARD CIDER and WHIsKEY,
To drink to " Old Tippecanoe."

R The WEATHER has changed. Rain,
rain, rain, has come at last, gladdening the
face of the thirsty earth, and filling human
faces with sunshine. With no premonition on
Monday night, the stars being out in all their
brightness, Tuesday morning was ushered in
with pattering on the roofs and against the
window panes. People jumped up in wonder
and gladness and peeped out Sure enough,
there were the glittering rain drops. The
fences, the gardens, the trees, the grass-the
earth was wet-and ten thousand hearty
thanksgivings ascended to the Giver Of every
good and perfect gift. At the present writing,
the streets of Bath are rather muddy-de-
cidedly wet-and we notice as a singular fact,
the people do not seem 10 mind the dampness.
Without regard to cross-walks, which do not
amount TO much, however, in this city, the
citizens pitch into the mud simultaneously and
with no compunction. Polished boots suffer.
Soles are muddy and spring-front pants out
of starch. But that is the way of the world,
and particularly of Bath. When we get any
thing good, we are apt TO wear it out, or ''run
1t into the ground as the saying is. But no
matter for that, We have had a refreshing
rain and are glad of if.

Great Fire in Waldoboro'

On the 25th inst, about / o'clock p. NJ,
Waldoboro was visited by one of the most de-
structive fires on record, this side of San Fran
cisco. The entire business portion of The
village was burnt TO ashes. Not a store OF
workshop is left. Mechanics had no time to
save their tools. The GooDs IN THE STORES,
(thirty-seven in number) were consumed, and
consequently no article of provisions, clothing,
furniture or medicine can now be purchased
About seventy-five families are destitute OF
homes, food and raiment.
The fire spread with such fearful rapldlty,
that not even the ladies had an opportunity 10
save change of clothing for themselves or
their children.
Ata meeting of the citizens, held the fol-
lowing evening, the undersigned were chosen
4 committee to appeal to the sympathies of a
generous public, and we now make that appeal
In behalf Of our suffering and destitute fellow
citizens, many of whom barely escaped with
their lives.
The whole amount of property lost, from
the hest estimate we are able to make, cannot
fall short of half million of dollars, not more
than one third of which is covered by insurance
