We learn from the Wing that the rascals
who lately broke into the store of Mr.. Geo. $.
Hill in Exeter have been arrested. Their names
are Archy Young and Elbridge Daniels, and
they belong in Exeter. 1t seems they had hired
each a horse and carriage of Mr.. Knights, a
stable-keeper at KenaalPs Mills, to go to Vas
salboro but stopped to rob Mr. Hill S store, from
which they took money and goods of several
hundred dollars value, and then took the road
for the Provinces, but were pursued by Mr..
knights and Francis w. Hill, Esq, of Exeter,
and were overtaken about four miles this side
of the line and brought back to Exeter on Sat-
xrday morning Daniels is said to have receiv-
ed four bounties under enlistments to fill the
quota for this State, and has never performed
days service. He will now stand a fair chance
to perform some Service for the State without
any bounty.

The Soldiers. and Sailors Meeting.

To theEditor Of the Press:
Dear Sr,-Your report of the meeting on Monday
evening docs me unintentional injustice, will you be
good enough to allow me a word Of explanation,
The proposed Convention at Bangor called
without consultation with officers from this vicinity,
and it is owing, presume, to this fact and also to
soms insinuations and representations in the news
papers, that the real object of the meeting has been
so little understood. In asking therefore, tor nfor
nation on the subject, expressed not only my own
Wishes but theso Of large number present. The
reply to my nterrogatory perfectly satisfactory
and then stated for ono, the object should have my
hearty cooperation, being, in my judgment, most
admirable and desirable. l made the suggestion
however, having In mind the fact that Portland had
contributed one-.oentis Of the quota of the State,
during the war, that such an association might be
organized here and that acting through it as our rep
resentative, might have more Influence and could
work more efficiently at Bangor In other words,
did not think probable that interests could be
so well cared for in meeting whore this vicin-
ity would be represented by mere handful OF dele
gates acting without authority, while from the vicin-
ity of Bangor two or three hundred might easily be
collected. 4a ID
So far from being opposed to sending delegates to
Bangor" trust that large Portland delegation
will be present. The gentlemen who have already
sgDifed their intention of going, deserve our entire
confidence, and SO far AZ the measures which may be
adopted are preliminary and advisory am sure they
will meet the hearty approval OF all. gs,aIe

special and important meeting OF this Society
was held last Monday evening and it was felt that
the results thon reached would mark . favorable
sis in the affairs Of this institution 1t announc-
ed that during the past week. upwards OF $500 had
been paid into the treasury, the gift of number Of
citizens for the purpose of putting the collections in
order and opening the Hall of the Society to the pub
lie. Oppressed with lingering weight OF debt, and
unable to command even the common necessaries Of
scientific life for than year gone by, the Soce
ty has been compelled to suspend most OF its public
operations To none has this brought more sadness
than to its working members. Now it is hoped that
this large and popular museum Of Natural History
may resume its place Of the chief attractions
Of our city. tA s" l9
Mr. Edward S. Morse has been engaged for q term
of four months as Special Curator of the collections,
and provided with as much a. could be spared from

of renovation By the first OF juno it is proposed to
open the cabinets to the public As of old Some new
features Of arrangement Educational Collections,
and the special illustration Of the Natural History Of
Maine are in progress. Meanwhile, it is to be re-
membered that the sum givon provides only for the
bare preservation and plainest display of the objects
already within the building. Many Of our generous
citizens are Doubt yet in ignorance of the press
ing need of Society already rich in scientific inu-
ence though poor in the material means OF scientific
culture. Any addition to the fund will be thankfully
received, and may be given to any member or friend
of the Society.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Bill AppOrtiOning the Issue of Ma
tiOnal Currency.
VETO OF THE COLORADO BILL.
INTERNAL REVENUE BUREAU.

WASHINGTON. May Is.
The Senate has confirmed w. G. Brown, as
Consul to Augsburg, and Frank Swan, Con-
sui at Naples.
l he President has approved the bill amend
ing an act relating to the habeas corpus, and
regulating judicial proceedings in certain
cases and approved IN March, 1885, 1t is
therefore law.
The bill introduced in the Senate to-day by
Mr. Van Winkle, authorizes and directs the
comptroller OF Currency to apportion the is
sue as follows: ''A
First. One half or S150,O0o,O0O shall be
apportloned in proportion to the population.
second. The remaining S150,O00,000 shall
be apportioned to the value of the annual
production of the agricultural, manufacturing
and mining industry of each State and each
Territory, which value shall be determined by
census exhibits if practicable, and if other
wise, to be estimated by the Comptroller, ac-
cording to the best obtainable information.-
If any State shall have an excess of above the
maximum allowed to each State, provision is
made for q reduction on the issue. A def
cheney may be brought up to the maximum,
but reduction shall take effect only as its
circulating notes are to be turned into the
Treasury, to be cancelled on account of mutt
lation. 1t also provides that in the organza-
tion OF additional banks, preference shall be
/. given as far as practicable to existing banks in
good repute as shall signify desire to the
Comptroller to be cancelled into National
Banks. 1t suspends the operation of the in
ternal revenue act Of June Both, 1866, refer
ring to State Banks and banking associations
until the LIST day of January, 1867.
The President has returned the Colorado
bill to the Senate with bis objections. He
does not consider the establishment of State
Government in Colorado at present necessary
for the welfare of the people there. The pop
ulatlon is small, some estimating it as low as
as 25,O00, while the advocates of the bill place
the number at from 81, 100000 to 10000, ,0OO.-
1t is not satisfactorily established that ma
jority of the citizens desire or are prepared
for the exchange Of Territorial for a State
/ Government. The final objection is that the
admission of Colorado at this time as State
into the Union, appears to him Incompatible
with the public interests of the country. In
stead OF increasing, Colorado has diminished
in population.

Destructive Fire and Loss of life.

MONTPELIER, Vt, May 10.
A terrible fire attended by shocking loss
of life and heavy loss of property, occurred
in North Boylston, VT, last night, upon the
premises OF Mrs. Lyman Burbank. The house
was occupied by Mr.. Burbank and hired
man named Ballon, an adopted daughter of
Mr.. Burbank, named Luce, and Miss Dick
erson, who was temporarily staying there at
the time. Miss d. was the first to discover
that the house was on fire, and Immediately
gave the alarm to the other inmates, and all
endeavored to descend the stairs. They found
it now too late, and Mr.. Ballon then jumped
from window and procured ladder that the
rest might make good their escape, but on re-
turning he could find nothing OF the two girls
and Mr.. Burbank was found to have already
sufocated in the heat and flames and smoke.
His body, however, was recovered. The two
girls were burned to ashes. The fire extended
to the outbuildings of the premises, and re-
suited in the total loss of the buildings, cattle,
sheep, horses and hogs. Take it altogether, it
was one of the most shocking and terrible dis
asters ever known in Vermont from any cause
whatsoever. Mr.. Burbank was by occupation
drover, and was quite veil known. The fire
is supposed to Lave originated from defective
fire place, which was in use the day preced-
ing.

Stephens received an enthusiastic ovation
from the Fenian Brotherhood, at Jones'
Wood. About 5000 were present, but none
but Roberts men were in attendance. Mr..
Stephens made a forcible address giving his
tory of the Fenian movement. He said he
had received but little money from this coun-
try, and the heart burnings and scandal here
were such as could only be compensated for
by Irish liberation. They only wanted money.
Ireland had done twice as much as America
in that way.
After Mr.. Stephens address, Lieut.. Colonel
Downdy addressed the Goth regiment which
was drawn up in front of the platform, re-
fecting severely upon the orders of General
Sandford in countermanding the order for
the parade of the regiment as an encroach-
ment upon the privileges OF commandants OF
| regiments OF the National Guard.
