Mail Robbery.

We learn from the Portland Advertiser that
Henry Hopkins, lawyer from Island Pond,
Vermont, and postmaster at that place, was
arrested, on Monday, on charge of robbng the
mail between Portland and Montreal. 1t
seems that during the past year several depre-
dations have been committed on the mail, till
at last, suspicion falling on Hopkins, the de-
partment sent Instructions to ths postmaster,
at Portland, to watch Hopkins if he came into
city. Not long since letter containing $500
was missing. The bills enclosed, were so
marked as to be easily identified, and a de-
scription of the money had been furnished the
department.
On Monday, Hopkins arrived in Portland
and officer Huse was Immediately put upon
his track. Mr.. Huse, learning that he was to
leave for Roston the next morning, took the
same train of cars. After leaving Saco, off.
GER Huse called Hopkins into the saloon Of
the cars, and informed him that he was sus.
pected of having counterfeit money in his pos
session, and that he must be searched unles:
he produced what money he had about him
This Hopkins did, and among the bills which
he exhibited were found SI70 of the none,
which had been enclosed at Quebec. Hopkins
was Immediately arrested and brought to Port
land, where he was to have his examination
Thursday.

New Hampshire.

The democratic state convention TO be hold
en- at Concord, N. H., on the l4th inst, will
be, says the Boston Post, an important and in
teresting event. The democracy of the Gran
lie State are impatient for the day to arrive
when they shall have an opportunity to re-
trieve their lost position, and restore the gov
ernment of their state to wise, honest, patriot
ic hands. The reckless charlatans-the pie
bald, speckled, broken winded politicians who
are now in power there, have but short time
to remain; the corrupt means by which they
attained their present places have been ex-
posed the plunderers have turned states ev-
dence-the division of the spoils has dissatis-
fed ihem-Hale and Burke are no longer in
each others arms; the whole people perceive
the cheat that has been practised upon them,
and will scourge their deceiers back into that
obscurity from which they SO recently emerged.
A healthy action pervades the public mind
throughout New Hampshire, and next spring
she will present glorious example OF the Sc
ries of triumphs which will grace the cause of
national democracy during the year eighteen
hundred and ffty-six, and result in the trium-
phant reelection of FRANKLIN PIERCE to the
presidency.

John Van Buren.

John Van Buren, in his speeches at Oswe-
go, in speaking of the treatment men received
from the democratic party who lett other par
ties to join it, said
Sc There never was, in this respect, so lib
eral an association as the democratic party.
1t is curious TO look back upon the men who
have come over TO US from other parties, and
the extent to which they have been honored.
| need only meAion such names as John Q.
Adams, Ambrose Spencer, Chief Justice Ia
ney, who were promoted by the democratic
party to the highest stations within its gift,
even above older and perhaps better leaders
in the democratic cause. On the other hand,
look at the party of our opponents. Take the
case of any democrat you can think of, who
has gone over 10 the whig and federal ranks,
and you will find that his course has been one
of uniform ruin. As long as he is useful he
is used, but the moment he ceases to be useful
he is cast aside. No man was more emphati-
cally the idol of the democratic party than Clay
during the war, and his whole life previous.
In one hour he threw away all that popularity
and strength, and Joined the federal or whig
party. What was the consequence! In 1910,
when the wings were sure to elect president,
he was set aside and Harrison was preferred.
Again, in 1913, when our divisions made their
success certain, he was set aside again, and
successful soldier, who had never held a civil
office, and had never voted whig ticket, was
preferred, and Mr.. Clay, with just strength
enough to drag his feeble form to Washing
ton, died fairly at the door of the old whig
party"
Mr.. Van Buren, concluded his speech as
follows -
:" The question now is where will New
York be in this campaignl ] Twill tell you.
Democratic by majority never known before.
(Great applause.) In my portion of the state,
including New York and the county or Kings,
polling a vote of from seventy to eighty thous-
and, do not think the republican ticket will
have one vote in ten. In the centre Of the
state the same is true. should not be sur
prised, should the wings nominate ticket, if
it should poll more votes than the republican.
| My know nothing friends, being gloriously
! fogged out in every state in the Union, in
Pennsylvania, Maine, Indiana, &C., might as
well take in their sign and go along with u.s."

BARNUM FAILUkEs.-Henry Ward Beecher,
it is said, has recently let himself for course
Of lectures to a Western i" Snowman" and
gave his first lecture in Cincinnati. The ex-
horbiiant price of tickets and the above fact
leaking out, the people of that city administer

Madame Rachel succeeded, during Fair
week in Boston, in getting good houses at big
prices, but the resident lovers of the drama, ii
seems, have had their curiosity satisfied, and
on Thursday evening, only about $500 were
taken, though the theatre would hold 1900.
The true policy of the sellers of tickets was to
have put them at reasonable rates, in which
case there would have been couple Of thous-
and dollars in the house every night of Rachel's
re-engagement.
A Boston correspondent of the N. Y.
Evening Post justly remarks that The greedi-

self, and keeps their pockets empty. After all,
the Yankee is not the only two footed, pocket
wearing animal who loves money. Sometimes
you will find foreigner who is no better than
he, in the article of Mammon-worship. For
my part, believe that Mr. Cooper was right
when, he said that money, as money, was more
valued in European countries than it is in the
United States.

Coal VEIN ON FIRE.-The rare phenomenon
Of coal vein on Gre is now TO be seen at Bea-
yer Meadows, Penn. The fire originated from
the outside dirt heap, and thence communicated
to the vein, filling the subterraneous avenues Of
the mine with sulphur, and rendering its aban-
donment necessary until the fire can be arrested
and extinguished. This, however, is a very
difficult and expensive process, but is usually
accomplished by walling up all the air cur
rents, and heading with clay) the progress Of
the fire, and then injecting the mine with
steam. A fire in a coal vein prevailed in the
vicinity Of Tamaqua for several years, and no
doubt consumed tens ofthousands Of tons ofcoal
before it could be extinguished, which was f.
nally accomplished few weeks ago.

For the Eastern Times.
Bath Dramatic LYceum.

FRIEND NEWMAN Having enjoyed the op-
portunity on two different evenings, of witness
ing the performances of Mons. Arcan's compa-
ny, now occupying Columbian Hall. feel con-
strained to say good word in their behalf
The scenery is the most beautiful eyer exhibit
ed in this city, while several of the performers
are certainly worthy of high commendation.
Mrs. Stephens is very fine actress, and is sure
to carry the house with her, while Miss Parker
impersonates a class of characters with admira-
Bile effect. But unquestionably the attraction
of the company is that hue Yankee, J. P. AD-
DAMS, to use his own significant phrase, "a hui
team" Addams is too well known to our peo-
pie to need newspaper praise, and as delinea-
tor of Yankee charaster, he has few equals-no
superiors. The other members of the company
are doubtless good, some of them excellent, but
have no time to particularize. To all who
can afford the buttons we would say, 60 to Co.
lumbian Hall, and "laugh and grow fat"
Eastern times., 1855-11-08

ST. Johns, n. F. Courier ofthe 19th, Oct. says
that the fire of the previous evening broke ont
in Tarrahn's Town, which, from the close
proximity of the houses in that locality and the
combustible material of which they were con-
structed, spread with amazing rapidity. Up
wards of 100 brick chmneys now standing
show that over 200 houses were burnt, in most
cases one chimney serving 2houses. We can
not therefore reckon under 400 families burn,
out, all of the operative-m of poorer class
es, and the greater lumber of whom lost much
of their furniture.
