Doe Last Friday night somebody broke into
tho store of IL. q. Emmons in the yil1ue by a
false key as is supposed, fer the purpose of
stealing. No person slept in the store, and the
burglar had no sooner entered, than he was
seized by Mr. Emmon's dog, when terrible
fight ensued The dog was full blooded bull,
aud evidently fought with the determination OF
saving his masters property, or dying 10 the
attempt for The next morning the floor was
covered with blood the show case was broken,
and the dog was found in his nest under tho
counter, with a ghastly wound inflicted with a
knife lie died short time after he was dis
cJVsred .a.
No articles were missed from the store, and
1t is evident that the scamp was glad TO escape
with his life after he had released himself from
the dog. Blood was found on the sidewalk il
front of the store, which goes 70 show that th,
| dog left his marks on him, which may lead {
his identification n--Elyna Dem.

was our feeling when we penned the remarks
already published in relation to the Topsham
Convention. In view of the outrages upon
the free and fairly expressed will OF the peo-
pie, then fresh IN our mind; in view of the
bullying spirit in which it was attempted to
give the convention into the hands Of mi
nority; in view OF the reckless. unprincipled
and shameful course Of u chairman, who
manifested a rea!iness to be the tool OF out.
siders and to do the drtiest work that ever
knavery suggested or bullyi.m attempted to
put through; in view Of the grossest and
