To- We would refer our readers to the ad-
vertisement of H. WARREN LANcEY. He
has removed to the new and spacious store on
Lime street, and is opening fresh assortment
of Hardware.
ggr Our Exchange Street neighbors are in
extacies because their candidate for Governor
is whipped by majority of only 1000. They
remind us of the poor fellow in battle, who,
when he lost both legs, thanked God that he
had pair of stumps remaining.
g- Gen. Hooker is said to be one Of the
best fighting Generals in America. In almost
every severe conflict on the Peninsula and

BAD AccIDENT.-Wm. NJ. Wood, a young
of his horse at the depot on Tuesday last. Mr..
W. had hold of the reins, and the forward
wheel struck him, breaking his leg just above
the ankle, knocking him down, when the hind
wheel passed over his leg again, breaking it
not far from the other fracture. The fractures
are very bad ones.-[Gardiner Journal.
sY-The Atlantic Monthly for October has

MrLTrARY.-A special dispatch to the Press
from Augusta 10th, tast EVENING" says: Geo.
NJ. Atwood of Gardiner, was nominated for
Colonel Of the oath regiment, rendezvousing
here; Charles I. Bean of Warren, Lieut.. Col,
and Eben Hutchinson of Athens, Major
Vim. Bray of Turner, is appointed Quarter
master of the 23d regiment; Winthrop II.
Hall of Palmyra, Adjutant, and Royal E.
Whitman of Turner, Sergt Major.
RAILROAD AccIDENT.-Mr. NJ. W. Clark,
forms us that Charles Hesseltine, a young man
on the night freight train on the Grand Trunk
road, from Portland, last evening, about five
miles below Danville Junction got up on the
top of the cars, and as they passed under a
road crossing, he was knocked down, and was
not found until the train had gone several
miles. He is badly bruised about the head
and neck but it is hoped not fatally.
sg-The hundred eyes of our neighbors of
the Argus are getting old and blear; but such
spectacles as they exhibited two pairs of yes
terday morning, will not clear the films from
their sight. In the editorial type an article en-
titled domestic Tragedy" was inserted in du-
plicate; and the same was true of another ed
itorial entitled military Election and in
both cases the article and its duplicate were
placed in close proximity. Has Bro. Moore
become unduly excited in humming over his
favorite tune 'Catawba," or has he impaired his
eyesight by looking through the thick bottom
| of a glass tumbler?
sB-The Argus compliments the praise
worthy liberality of Capt. James NJ. Churchill,
of this city, evinced in subscribing and paying
in advance for ninety copies of that paper, to
be delivered to the officers and men at Camp
Abraham Lincoln, during their stay at that
encampment. Though Capt Churchill is a
Democrat, we can bear cheerful testimony to
his genuine lberaity; for on the same day
that he subscribed for the Argns, he called at
our office, and subscribed and paid for ninety
copies of the Daily Press, to be distributed at
the encampment, thus showing a disposition
to furnish the soldiers with papers to suit their
varied political proclivities.
gin another column we publish a COM
! munication from Southwest Bend, in relation
to peculiarly gospel church in that locality,
made up of the odds and ends and disaffected
of other churches, whose members seem to re-
gard patriotism as an unholy thing, calculated
to defile the sanctuary of religion. That
church must be ripe for translation. One of
Uncle Sans drafts would be an excellent ap-
pliance to bring it back to a more militant
state, in which its relations and duties to the
material world would be more fully appreciat-
ed; and gentlemen of that town assure us
lhat if any of its members should be compelled
to go to the war; and if they should gloriously
fall while patriotically fighting the enemy, in
