A. Race,

Charles Ransell, of Massachusetts reei-
ment, deserted last March, and Disgusting
himself with false mustache and whiskers. re-
turned to his home in Cornish where he passed
himself off as Captain Ross" He was soon
identified, and an attempt being made to ar
rest him he escaped and went to Canada. Ee
subsequently went to Chicago, where he
again escaped and returned to Canada. A
few days ago he returned to Cornish inten-
ding TO remain there in defiance of all au-
hority.
The case being called to the attention of
Capt. Libby, an officer at Auburn, he, in COM
pany with Capt. Stanley and Deputy Sheriff
Ridlon of Porter, crlled at the house of RAM
sell Sunday night, and were confronted at its
door by the father of Ramsell who threatened
them with extreme violence; and while they
were trying to appease the wrath of the old
gentleman, the young man escaped by back
door and took to the woods. Capts. Libby and
Stanley Immediately gave chase, while Ridlon
was left as rear guard. The race was hard
one. Ramsell being acquainted with the lc-
cality, led his pursuers through swamps,
thickets, and over hills, lin the darkness of the
night to the distance of about six miles,
when he s'caved i'm minus considerable
part of his clothing which had been torn eff
in the woods. Yesterday he was delivered to

Is that SO beautiful a structure has so long

Cau 1t DIRIGo HALL. The word is short,
musical and of excellent significance. By
what name can the leading public building in
the leading city Of the leading state be better
designated? The name will help honor as
the thing named efectually does, the far
sighted public spirit Of the men that planned
1t, aud the wise liberality of the citizens
of Portland that achieved it; and should these
spacious rooms become as they may the
Capitol Of the State, the name will have been
prophetic. T.

money, is owned and Controlled by the city, and
it seems to me the city has no reason to be
