FIRE IN DuRHAM-A destructive fire
broke out in the tanncry at South West
Bend. Durham. just before midnight Thurs
day night, aud, in consequence of the dry
ness Of contiguous buildings and wind
prevailing. the flames could not be stayed
until they had passed up to the corner of
the street and crossed to the Uniyersalist
Church. The following buildings were EN-
tirely consumed: Newell's tannery, the
unoccupied carriage shop and storehouse
owned by the heirs of }. Lufkln, the Mer-
rill store occupied by Sam'l Mitchell, the
shoe shop and post office Of James II.

male and Female, Created He
them"

The facetious and witty Attorney Cen
eral of the State once said in our Court
House, while arguing case in which
Bucksport was one of the parties, that
"Bucksport was the female, and Ellsworth
the male town of the county" The witty
lawyer only stated philosophical. physio-
logical, practical and plain fact. Wc,that
is, the winning party in Ellsworth, went
into the la;e election to demonstrate the
fact to the public, so that hereafter no
..outside barbarian or jew or GENTLE
need make a mis,akc in our sex. In the
commencement of the contest the exuher-
ent natural animal spirits pertaining to the
character Of the town was patent and po-
tent. Self-rcliant, confident, boastful, ag
gressve, persuasvc,-at times. alternating
with threats and stormy tears, the shy and
coy Bucksport was approached. AT first
this beautiful town was not inclined to
come to terms, She had other views, and
other plans and schemes of life, and the
proposed alliance was unnatural. and un
lawful. At the first meeting, she was true
to her love on the Penobscot, with slight
exception. She turned her stately form
from the wooer on the Union river. shook
her crinolne in defiance and departed for
her comely residence. But persistent ef-
fort, with fair promises and outside help
accomplished wonders. Ellsworth main
tanned its character in the play, well. The
broth of boy" never faltered once; and
with few exceptions all felt as if they had a
personal interest in the contest-an interest
to establish and maintain. an individual
character for the town, the one generally
assumed and admitted as being fA1ly
earned So earnest and spread was
this feeling for indicating our sex-eharac-
ter, that nearly all rushed into the con-
test. and nv word and vote made plain the
truth. Grave ministers OF
the gospel. those whose business relations
would admit of attending to this duty, EN-
barkcd in the contest. for Ellsworth was
in the case-her right and title to be ac
knowlcdsed the father of all the county
family" was called in question. and was
to be settled. The beautiful lass on the
rebelled and led off in "hout;"
but at every meeting she grew more faint
hearted and hesitating, and at last, when
the deeply anxious Monday night amc,thc
telegraph clicked, clicked, aud the accom-
modating operator read from the puncturcd
white slip:-Bucksport gives Ellsworth
32S-all others 63. ''Barkis is willing"
and Ellswortll's character is yindicatcd.

" Our friends who made up pleas
ure party for trip to Calais, returned last
week highly pleased with the trip. The
praise bestowed by the members of the
party on their friends in Calais, Machias,
&C., for attentions shown them, is un-
bounded. The only drawback is the com
plant that there was an entire lack of
guide boards to point to them the way and
of watering troughs for the benefit of their
horses. Washington county people must
not expect Hancock county travellers to
make good time without having the courses
well staked out, and plenty of teater on
the way.

THE COTTON SCrrLY.-I.arse cxporia-
tions of cotton must soon be made to Eu-
rope. The stocks at New Orleans. Mobile
Savannah aud Charleston are rapidly ac-
formulating, and New York is daily rccciv-
ing much more than the home manufactur-
crs can use. The receipts at New York.
last week were %, i6S bales. while the ex-
ports were less than one fifth of this n
mount. The domestic demand is about
5000 bales a day. The stock on hand in
New York has run up to one hundred
thousand babes.
1t is an interesting problem to dry goods
purchasers, why, with all this increasing
supply the price Of cotton cloths has again
gone up nearly to the pointt reached when
cotton was three times its present price.

DoN'T DE Foolish The ". Y. En-
press advocates the proper and desirable
return to specie payments with arguments
standing and spasmodic. scrccchy clap-trap
which argue emptiness and inslncerlty.--
For instance, take this {:
a" Irredeemd6te notes erpdnd The curren-
cy, initiate the prices, and thus make dearer
erery mans beJ' and loaf. Erery one ot
us pays erery day about IS per cent. more
for ,ehat zee buy, IN consequence Of tbs er-
pansion,-and hence, gold is kept up to
44-5, when it ought to be down to 20 or
%. The uredeemabte expansion Of coun.
try Banks is deor bread, dear BEEF dear
sugar, dear caiieoes. dear shirts, dear
ererylhing."
Now, common sense would suggest that,
if every one of us pays about - per Ct,
more for what we buy" because Of our cx-
banded currency. there must be credit as
well as debit side to the account; and
what is lost on one side is gained on the
other. We ror instance) are paying
more for everything We buy" than we did
under specie currency; but we are getting
more likewise for what we sell. and conse-
quently are doing very well-rarely or
never better. We presume the same is
the case with the Express. 1t is so with
our business men generally and our labor
ers also. Living is dear; but wages are
high and most of us are getting on.
Let us have specie payment again so
soon as may be: but let us not talk Of the
matter like IDIOTS Tribune.
