s- The Bangor Wing says that Mrs.
George Foster, who has twice before attempt
ed to commit suicide, on account of her de-
lection in extensive thefts in that city, finally
succeeded in the act, by drowning herself in a
creek in Brewer, on Wednesday night. She
was stopping in Brewer, at the house Of a sis
tef, and went ~ bed as usual. In the morn

tracked by the prints of her bare feet to the
place where she was found, quite dead.
sY- The Machias Republican says the at
tempt to start a wooden factory at East Machi-
as is likely to succeed. We see no reason why
such an enterprise should not succeed. There
is an abundance of capital in that town, an ex-
cellent water power, and the farmers in that

The goods manufactured, IL it should be de-

L. The Democratic Convention in this
city on Thursday was decidedly one Of the
most signal 1zzles that we have ever known.
The better informed members revealed their
lack OF faith in success in their every move
ment. The most vigorous and life-like exhi-
billions OF the day were no more like real,
heartfelt, vital life than the contentious Of the
body OF an executed criminal, under the infu-
ence OF galvanic battery, are like the move
ments Of a real living body, vitalized by a hui
man soul.
sE-We learn that Rev. NAHUM BROOKS,
for many years the devoted and beloved pas
tor of the North Street Church in Bath Free
VIII Baptist) has received and accepted an in
vtation to become pastor of the Free VIII
Baptist Church in Manchester, N. H., and
will remove there early in September. Mr.
b. is man of the people, whose every instinct
is in the right direction and whose head, heart
and hand are ever united in deeds of kindness
He leaves Bath that he may nave the benefit
of location farther removed from the fogs
and atmosphere of the sea coast.
The sub-editor of the Advertiser is a
TO ~. p. White OF Belfast, Copperhead Can
diddte for Congress last fall,' whcreupon the
brilliant aforesaid undertakes to convict us O
falsehood by saying, ~. =. White is a straight
out abolitlonist, as he proved himself in thu
last state senate" We should have said jane
White instead Of y. r., but it Is not singular
that we should have been ignorant Of the exac
name Of the Belfast Copperhead, for whcr
some of his political friends came to our ofIics
to get votes for him to be used in the late Cop
perhead convention, they did not know how
to have them printed, and inquired OF u.
whether he had middle name. Why should
we be better posted in such matters than hi
own bedfellows?
- The Democratic Convention was de
cidedly partial. 1t coughed and hustled dowu
V. ID. Paris. one of its members, and when til,
said V. ID. p. implored them, if they would no
hear him, to hear his man,-C. c. Burr,
deaf ear was turned to his opportunities, an,
that receptacle of wind and offensive gas, i'm
ported all the way from New York, was re
fused an opportunity to collapse in the hall
and given TO understand that his grist must b,
emptied into the gutter. But Mr.. +. o. J
Smith, who was not member Of the Conven
ton, who even ignores party affiliations, an,
who, like Burr, echoes the voice Of Fernand,
Wood, was not only allowed to make speech
but he was allowed to offer resolution, which
resolution, coming from an outsider, and com
hitting the Convention TO an entirely new
matter not alluded to in the regular platform
was greedily seized upon and made part o
the Conventions doings. This was decidedly
partial; palpable indignity offered to v. d
p. and C. c. B., and shows hoU unequal th'
most blatant champions Of equality can be
come when the IL comes over them.
