were arragned for a breach of the covenant,
and some even went so far as 10 make the Sc
rious charge of perjury, they having sworn on

lieve that general muss was kicked up and
as consequence, we have the following,
which we learn was introduced by Mr.. Eames,
and passed the board of aldermen by vote of
4 TO ?, al its next meeting. On its appear
ance in the common council, however, it was
suggested by one who it seems knoicS some

in the case, was the legality of such proceed

ANOTHER TRAeEDY.-We learn from the
Providence Journal that on "Wednesday last the
house Of widow Abraham Baker, in Giouces-
ter, R. l., and occupied by herself and single
woman named Hamln, was discovered to be
on fire, and. on proceeding 10 the spot the
neighbors found both the women dead, having
been murdered by some fend ia human shape.
The Journal says:
Miss Hamlin was on the feor Of the parlor
entirely lifeless, with several severe bruises on
her head, either of which the physicians ,esti-
fed was sufficient 10 produce death they ap-
peared TO have been inflicted by a club or some
blunt instrument. The skull was fractured in
several places one of the fractures was seven
or eight inches long, and the left eye was dis
colored aud swollen.
Mrs. Baker lay in the same room few feet
from Miss Hamlin, but was not discovered on
account of the smoke in the room, until half an
hour afterwards She was so much burned
the house having then fallen in, that she could
not be kcognizsd, and an examination Of hel
remains afforded no evidence of the means OF
manner Of her death. There was no fire in the
room where the bodies were found when the
neiehbors first arrived. The fire was set in
The extreme other end Of the house.
They were not repnted TO have money in the
house, and the little silver ware they had was
not taken by the murderers, but was found in
the ruins.
The good people Of Gloucester are using
every exeriion 10 ferret ont the murderer, and
have the fullest confidence they can succeed"

notice by late number of the kennebec

come lost to great degree in the mazes Of
old line partyism. That paper heads the
recent municipal triumphs in that state, of the
American party, Republican triumphs,' and
says these elections haze generally gone in
favor Of Temperance and Freedom, leaving
AmericaniSm entirely out of the question. 1t
also places Ansou P. Morrill, in nomination
for Governor at the head of lis columns, and
names him as the Republican candidate

everywhere else, in fact cut loose from such
connections as that, and all other coalitions
the better THE AMERICAN PARTY

The CHRONICLE for the Campaign

There may be many persons who
are desirious of receiving the OnRoN.
IcLE during the campaign. If any
such, we here inform them thatwe will
furnish them with the paper from the
Goth day of July until the 10Th day
of October at the following rates.
One copy 81 IL cents, 10 copies
$500, 20 copies $500. The money
in each case must accompany the
order.
We think if the friends of free
dom will exert themselves a little in
each township a very respectable
number could be added to our list.
We will agree to furnish our friends
with facts and figures to carry on the
canvass, if they will furnish us more
readers. 1t is of vital Importance
to the cause that every Republican
should be posted, in order that he
may in turn disseminate his ideas.
We knwo of no better way to do this
than by increasing the circulation of
some reliable local journal. We
shall endeavor, in future, as we havein
times past, to make the CHRONICLE
reliable paper, and will try to keep
its readers thoroughly posted on po-
litical affairs.
