Tais seodly city in miniature keeps plod-
ding alQag On IN even keel. With sla- Ii seas and
rrssp rou. gales We judge from hasty glance at
IL " coBteuts.' But a l;tIs more than three
years since We paid flying visit to this mother
OF towns, at the call Of the State Of Maine. The
political sears aud the political honors Of those
exciting times nave become matters OF history;
and We as all Other actors in the contests FOR sue
cess in tae Old sixth Congressional District in
lo5s, have to-day new, yet not iess exciting
theme. But We could no: foEego the curiosity to
walk into the Court Room and take a new look at
the place, shore we cane 50 near, after much
pleading and importuniug, Of having trial for
publishing, what had been Published
in several papers befare. But VIC have no desire
to rake u lisagreeable by-gones, though in this
case troops Of friends maize the visit here at the
time, and its recolectiohs since, seem like an oasis
il rather barren desert.
Maelias looks like an OH place; and iiseon-
nected from the lumber mills, aud the velvetty
saw-lust avenues to the mills, and the piles Of
latabcr, etc. has an Eaglish look. Ua!ike Els
worth citizens, the people have a homeIike af-
pearaace,-an easy eain-, careless, happy 20 easy
bearing, while cur e#n village looks as If it drop
ped down from the clouds the last day Of some
busy week, and the people were all over anxious
to get ready for sunday or a trade.
The Machias river h4s about all run out and
left the sss piled uP in glorious confusion and IN
immense q4antities-near three years stock OF
the article being ready fox The Unsuitable horse
leech, the gang saw. The uncertainty Of q drive
tue irst season. necessities the expense and
trouble q having two years stock on hand.
Much Of the lumber manufactured here is ship
ped directly to South American and the West In
dies.
The patriotism Of the people is unquestioned
The citizens, to-day, il ;oFn meeting, voted a
hundred dollars bounty to volunteers in the new
regiments, and one hundred ami ten dollars to all
that will enlist in tie old Sixth Regiment and
company c. II there arc any citizens that
are Lankering for a name and place in Jei-s
new would be Kingdom Of Dahomy, they did not
make their appearance, AMI the meeting was all
one way. BY ten o'clock the next day, our Cd
friend T. Sargent, Esd, had eight men enlisted
We dropped into the Office Of the Mschas Re
! paAlseaa-not to renew tle snarl about the
size of the 1meyieaa and tho Rg,s5hcaR--but tC
renew old acquaintance, and to see the Campbell
Press. This new candidate for printers honors
seems well entitled 10 success. 1t is simple, com
pact, cheap, and well adapted to all kinds o.
work. When our subscribers shall vote us on
/ like it, BY paying up, we shall order forthwith.

The Liiiea is a capital local paper, but of doubt
fal patriotism, we think. However, the Editor il
a natural born Southern symp4thzer, and per
son can't help his natural Z" tenleueies.7

The iniuitable J ohm A. Peters, onee in au ar
sgment in our Court House said that Ellsworth

port, Whitnfyyille, Marshdgid, are all her ebil

St. George and Quattlebum. Whitneyyille phy III

stretched out at full length, and maintains rail
