The Maino Election,

There is great cxutation, in the Dem
ocratio ranks over the election in Maine
last week The combination of Pierce
Democrats and Fogy Wings was success
full in preventing an election of Governor
by the people. 1t is also claimed that n
majority of the Legislature elect will
favor a repeal Of the prohibitory liquor
law Of that State and will be strongly
opposed to Neal Dowism" generally.
We have no doubt that the extreme
stringcncy of the new liquor law of
Maine (passed at the last session, and
decided step in advance of that Of this
Stote) had great deal to do with the
revolution that has been effected in that
State Still another cause of this result,
is the thorough coalition effected on the
election of Senators and Representatives
between the two old parties, Morrill,,
the present Governor, has really larger
vote than last year, when he lacked 1900
of au election by the people. The vote
on the other side is increased rather
more, leaving Morrill, some 5000 behind
the combined Democratic and Whgvotcs,
though ahead of his highest competitor,
Judge Wells The change in the com
plcxion of the Legislature is perhaps
owing chiefly to the union Of votes among
the opposition, which was last year di-
vidcd,
So far as ascortaincl the results arc
as follows:
Morrill,, Republican, has 10 600 votes;
Wells. Democrat. 40,073 Reed, Wing,
9,30G.
Senators. 81 Anti.Rcpublcan, out of
3I--tho whole'numbcr.
Representatives, two.tLirds Anti Re

FIRE At NERGrNNEs. We learn
from the Citizen that destructive fire
occurred in Vergennes on Friday, the
9TH inst. The IIame mandatory Of
W. Il. Bixby & Co. situated on an is
land near the middle Of the Falls, and
connected with the lumber mill of Gen.
S. p. Strong, was entirely consumed,
with all of the stock and material in the
various stages OF manufacture, which it
contained. The saw mill and every.
thing appertaiuing was also destroyed,
and for time the FIGURING Mill of
Chas, W. Bradbury, and the fine build
ing occupied by the Scale Co.. were in
imminent danger. The strenuous efforts
Of the Fire Company however, assisted
by fortunately favorable direction of
the wind, were successful in corfning
the fire to the island, thought the bulk
head on the east side was once or twice in
blaze; and little lumber outside, was
lost. But the losses here were heavy
Gen Strong's property was not insur-
ed. Mcssrs. Bixby & Co. whose stock
and machinery was worth some eight to
nine thousand dollars, were insured IN
The Vermont Mutual upon the Stock
$1,000. and upon the Tools $1,000 The
remainder is total loss. A good pro-
portion of the loss was in Hames, ready
and nearly ready for market.
The fire, which was first discovered at
about a quarter before twelve, is sup
posed to have originated in the 4" dry
room.n

our approaching Agricultural Fair, Ev-

are accustomed can be made equally as

1t is expected that the old original

of Horses, for which our county is ia
nous. We may also confidently expect
a good display Of Sheep and Cattle, Me.

Articles, Fowls, &c, should also be duly
represented, Persons interested in these
departments will, we hope, take special
pains to mako the exhibition as complete
and excellent as possible
1t is particularly desired that all en-.
tries should be made at an early day.
Convenience and despatch will thus be
secured, aud the interests of all concern,
ed will be promoted. All entries should
