more strictly defining what is meant by 'sin-

As the timc Is approaching when our
town elections arc to take place, we would
remind the Republicans of this county That
it is of the utmost importance that full
vote should be. given.I Be sure and .organzs
immediately and bring home every absent
voter let the expense be what it will and
see to it that every man is at the polls. We
are too apt to allow tho spring elections to
go against US when by active effort honest
men could just as we'll be elected to have
charge OF our affairs. We repeat again,
the elections abont to take place are Of tho
utmost Importance to prevent rascally cop
perheads from stufins ballot boxes us they
did in WATERFORD, and depriving Union men
from voting, as the sc,mps did in this city
and North Berwick. These elections de-

Ing in constant service since, are oil believed u

These ships were all built for Gen. Simon
NOVEL; of this town, now resident in Bangor,
who, like his ships, is In good condition after a
long life time, being now In fair health and
strength Mt the good old age ofSii years. When
built, these vessels were considered wonders for
size, as well MS for the thorough manner in
which they were constructed the General Pike
in particular, being built entirely OF selected
white oak. The first passage Of this ship was
made to Charleston, s. c., in charge of Capt.
Robert Towne, now living in this place, aud

Leland & Bro. Mr.. Joseph Leland is now liS-
ing at Grafton, Mass and IL is suggested that

land. where ship is now at sea, 43 years old,
uhose first opner, first master and first con-
s,gnse are all iiring. ..........
The Constitution was first commanded by
Capt. Abner Stone, recently deceased and the
first master OF the Eagle, was Capt. Thomas
NOVEL;. now resident of this town. These ships
have for many years been owned in New Bed
ford and vicinity, and arc employed in the
whale fishery. The next instance of longevity
of vessels built at this port. Is the bark Venice,
now IS years old, which sailed from here in
January, 1895. in charge Of Capt Dauphin
King this vessel was built BY the late Geo, w.
Bourne of Kennebunk, for Boston firm. is
35i tons and has recently been sold to for
egn house for 10000 rupees. .-.i ...
