In the Bangor Police Court on Friday,
Mr. Benjamin Kimball was brought mp for
an assault of an aggravated nature uponiMr.
Arvida Hayford. Kimbali met Hayford at the
head of stairway leading to both Of their of
fees in Mason's Block, and struck him severe
blow with a cane across the face breaking IN
tho bridge and other bones of the nose, and
also the bones of palate beneath, and upon the
same time inflicting O. severe wound upon the
left check bone. Mr. Hayford states that he
gave no provocation at the time, butwa struck
without warning. There had been difficulty
or feud between tho parties before, however.
As Mr. Hayford was unable to attend the ex-
animation, the case was continued till to-day,
the Judge fixing the bail at $500.

have been credited to the Bangor Wig from
whose editorial columns the information was
derived, but through an inadvertence ON some
body's part the name Of the Times was substi-

idea as to which Of the Bangor dailies would,
most naturally got its intelligence through
"democratic sources" may have lain at the bot

MANY dilligent and worthy man, the father
of a family, wholly dependent upon his daily
sexertions, has been reduced to want and dis
tress by the death of his mainstay and co-labor-
er, his only horse. We have been cognizant of
more than one instance of man who, having
lost one horse, was, by giving chattel mort
gage on his wagon, etc, barely enabled to pur-
chase another, which he by mere accident also
lost, and was consequently plunged into power
ty and debt without the means. and barely the
hope Of extricating himself from his abject
condition. Had the benefits of insurance been
proffered him, they might have saved him from
despair, and his family from the destitution and
suffering resulting from an unmerited misfor-
tune. 'sa
We speak first of poor, hard-working men,
because their losses are first entitled to sympa-
thy, and plead most urgently for relief. With
| farmers, livery stable keepers, express cempa-
MES, and other owners of live stock, horsefesh
is pt,rhaps regarded less sentimentally, or mere-
ly from q pecuniary point of view. There are
few of tbe,a who would not insure in perfect
ly fair and sa.s company, if they hada oppor-
tunity of doing 70; and such as did not patron
lze it at once, woul = aiter viewing lls aavanta-
geous operation with Others resort to it finally
as the best and wisest ssxpedient for avoiding
losses and reducing expen> utpre. p ~. -

and reasonable value, would be. Wiling and

ty, whose pride and pleasure it is to own swift

Mr.. GLADSTONE AND THE REFORM LEAGUE.
fhe iendon Daily Telegraph, which is un-
derstood to be the organ of Mr.. Gladstone,
contains the following in reference to the mo-
tives which have prompted the course of the
ex-Chancellor towards the Reform League:
Mr.. Gladstone cannot form an absolute alli-
ance with the National Reform League. The
statesman who is In power or who has been in
power, and who without doubt win be again,
cannot put himself at the head of q political
agitation without losing his influence and max
ing it very difficult for him to discharge accept
ably the high duties of office. A man of strong
CONVICTIONS can in all honesty, and without
sacrificing his dignity, take upon himself he
mission Of expounding and advocating puI lie
ly doctrines in aid of which he seeks the sup
port of the popular will But the work OF the
expositor and the Professor is altogether dis
tinct from that of the practical statesman, and
we cannot seek to unite these two characters
without doing injury to both. A Minister of
the Crown cannot be required to play the part
of an apostle of proselytism.
