"WHo's Your HUSBAND ?"'-We have
to-day learned the particulars Of X, most
singular circumstances. Some four years
since citizen of Boston emigrated to Cal
ifornia, leaving his wife. behind him, At
the expiration ofope year he left San Fran
cisco for the mines, and owing to the care
less postal arrangements his wife received
no letter from him for the following year.
This seemed to confirm information receig-
ed by her from what she considered an au-
thentic source, that her husband was dead,
and accordingly the wife, against whom
there had never been the shadow Of o re-
proach, yielded to the entreaties Of and
married another suitor.. The husband, it
will be remembered, had been absent two
years at the time of the marriage. The
second husband lived only few months
after the nuptials, and the widow, for a sec
ond time Gas she thought herself) was
slightly surprised a day or two ago blythe
appearance of her first husband Matters
have Of course been satisfactorily explained
aud the husband and wife are now living
happily together The affair has, however,
excited much comment and scandal among
their Immediate acquaintance, and an in-
tercsted party is about, 50 says rumor to
enter q acomplaipt Of bigamy against tho
lady. Theshusband is undecided whether
or not to marry his wifeagpin-.[ .[Evc Gu

Discovery of Human Bones,

On Friday afternoon last, while some work
men were repairing the road on High street,
in this village, they discovered quantity of
human bones, deposited about two feet below
the surface OF the road bed. The discovery
led to further Investigations, and resulted in
finding six entire skeletons, laid side by side,
and occupying but small space of ground
The first impressions were, that the workmen
had come across an old Indian burial ground,
but the total absence of implements and tools,
and the peculiar position of the bones, soon
dispelled the idea. One of the skeletons was
uncovered, and left in the position in which it
was found, that the curious might have an op-
portunity for examination. 1t was laid par
TALLY on its side, the face turned towards the
north, the keees drawn up to the chin, and the
arms thrust partially forward. The last found
was that of child around its neck was a
necklace made of bits of copper. The string
on which ii was strung was in good state of
preservation, and was so strong that the by
ISLANDERS were obliged to cut it.
If these bones were those Of Indians, it Is
very evident they were not buried according to
Indian custom the absence of ornaments,
&C., and the position of the bones, preclude
all such possibility. The only solution to the
mystery is, that these persons were killed in
some skirmish, and carelessly and hastily
buried. The banks of the Androscoggin at
this place being once the favorite hunting
ground of the Indian, we can reasonably infer
something like the GENERALIZATION ADJ.

docks~-and would have rotted at them, if they
had not returned to England again in ballast
Commerce and navigation are governed by
their own inherent and natural laws-laws
that are as true and undertaking as the laws of
the tides. They are subject to occasional fiuc-
tuations to be sure; but, if left alone, they
will take care of themselves. When the ton
mage exceeds the demand for its employment,
the rates of freight will necessarily decline
If there be, in the harbor of New York, my
thousand tons of shipping when only thir'y
thousand are required for the adjustment Oh
the ends of commerce, who does not see mat
there must be decline in the rates OF frelght!
Although we NAV not number larger
amount of ships now than we did IN lo30-35-
40. we have five times the amount of tonnage,
because of the increased size of our sailing
vessels. The interests of sailing ships has
been very naturally damaged by the introduc-
firm of steamships to our commerce. A steam
er. with cargo that would load an ordinary
sized ship, will make fifteen voyages to Eu-
rope within the year. She will thus carry
thirteen times as much freight homeward
bound as the sailing vessel, who will merely
make two voyages year.
The caprice of commerce and navigation,
when subjected to speculation and panic, is
often extraordinary. In the year 1915, i'm
mediately after the conclusion of the war
through the treaty at Client, eight cents the
pound were paid for freight on cotton between
New York, New Orleans, and Europe. 1t
soon after declined to FIVE cents, by shipholders.
A number of vessels which might have been
taken up at five cents, held back till they were
glad 10 get fve-eighths of a penny. This was
produced by sending too many ships into the
freighting business. And thus it ever will be.
Supply must depend for its employment and
reward on demand-N. Y. Atlas.

A VERY Touch SToRY.-Sixty yoke Of red
bulls, according to the Frontier News, were
seen last week, by an old lady 10 Kansas, hitch
ed to an empty wagon, which was mired in the
streets of this city. The team reached entirely
from hill to hill, across one of our valleys, vul-
carly called CUTS. The wagon. being very
light in the mud, refused to move the conse-
quence was, when that portion of the team in
the lead, over on the other hill, spread them
selves in strong pull, and Strengthened the
chains, that twenty-seven yoke Of the bulls in
the centre, were suspended in mid air, by their
necks. something less than fifty feet above
ground We did not see it, but understand a
profile view Of the scene was taken on the spot
for the News ofice.-Kansas City Enterprise

KENNEBEc DAM-CITIzENs' MEETMG.-On
Monday Evening a citizens meeting was held
at Winthrop Hall, to take measures for re-
building the Kennebec Dam, without delay
We learn that it was decided that il the citi-
Zens Of Augusta would raise 1000, the Bos-
ton stockholders would raise $50, 900, and the
whole sum would be secured by mortgage on
the Dam Company's property,-the loan being
payable in five and ten years, with annual in
terest A committee was appointed TO call up
on our citizens and solicit their subscriptions
We trust they will meet with success in their
applications. 1t must be evident to every one
how essential to our future prosperity is the re-
building Of the dam. Hundreds of our mechan-
les have been thrown ont of employ by the ac-
cident, bot we hope q. few months will see them
buslly at work, and the dam secure again.
