ORIGIN NAL AND ELECTED.


20 The first signs of snow appeared in
Oxford county, on Monday evening last.
g"J. Ms" reply to R. W." is neces-

Greek" but in perfectly good humor.
gBr Martin V. B. Thomas, of East Corinth,
has been appointed Acting Masters Mate in
the Navy.
Dr The "gay and festive" paragraphs in
Saturdays Advertiser, intended for our eye,
we allow to pass for what they are worth.
gBT new daily paper appears to-day in
Washington, which will advocate the meas
ures of the administration.
% The Boston Journal says late intelli-
gsnce from Rev. DIR. Chaplin states that he had
left Frankfort and returned to Paris. His
health has decidedly improved.
aB- T. A. D. Fessenden, Esq, of Auburn,
is elected to Congress to fill the vacancy in
the old I'd district occasioned by the resigna-
tion of Judge Walton, by 1893 majority over
Calvin Record, Esq, the democratic candidate.
sB- Henry Carter, Esq, formerly of this
city, and editor of the Advertiser, has been
nominated for senator for the 4th Essex dis
trict, in Massachusetts. Mr.. Carter now re-
sides in Bradford, on the Merrimac river, op-
posite Haverhill.
HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-Mr John Wall, of
Bangor, states he was knocked down in Frank
lin Street, in that city, Thursday evening, and
robbed of his pocket book containing S1,525.
He offers a reward of $500 for the recovery of
the money.
NEW ROAD TO CALAIs.-A movement has
been made towards making permanent sur
vey and location of new road from Prince
ton to Milford, a distance of fifty-six miles,
which will place Calais half day nearer to
Bangor.
gTWe shall publish tomorrow the dis
course delivered by Rev. Mr.. Foster, in the
Baptist Church, Yarmouth, Oct. 25th, on the
occasion of the burial of Capt. WIN. L. Has
kell. Persons desirous of having extra copies
can forward their orders by mail to-day.
s- The Oxford Democrat says that per-
sons who attended the Town Show at Water
ford last week. report that there was a good
number of people present, and creditabe
display of stock, &c. The day was rather
uncomfortable for such an exhibition.
- When the Presidents proclamation to
the rebels to lay down their arms in thirty
days, was read in the Confederate Congress at
Montgomery, it produced only derision and
laughter When the Emancipation Procla-
nation was received by the rebel Congress at
Richmond, it produced gnashing of teeth, and
threats of retaliation. Why the difference, if
they do not look with fear upon the latter,
while the former was deemed harmless?
s- We have received letter from Bruins
wick, purporting to give an account of an in
human affair in that town.-the beating of a
valuable horse until the blood spirited from
his nose and eyes, which seems SO incredible
that we dare not publish. lest we should be
guilty of libelling our common humanity; and
yet the letter comes from gentleman of the
highest respectability. We are glad that We
are not apprised of the name OF the alleged
guilty party, and have no ear-marks by which
to designate him, except that he is a respect
able citizen"
THE ST. ANDREWS RAILRoAD.-W We are
informed that for some days the running
of the trains upon the st. Andrews Railroad
has been interrupted. Several hundred men
who have been employed upon the road,
struck for their wages several days since, and
have declared that travel must be suspended
upon it until they are paid. Rumors reach US
that the rails have been torn up in some places
between Canterbury Station and the Houton
road, and the workmen express their deter
mination to hold their position at all hazards,
and until they receive ther wages. 1t is also
rumored that the Provincial authorities have
ordered, or will soon order, detachment of
troops to quell the insurrection, but we do not
place much confidence in such reports. 1t is
certain, however, that the operations on that
road have been interrupted, although we hope
that the difficulties may very soon be peace
