self are unusually high. All the drives in the
and at comparatively small expense. Lumber
at st. John bears a very high price.
The Gardiner Journal denies the report
that the steamer Eastern Queen is to 90 ON the
Bangor and Portland line.
We see it stated that the Belfast Journal, a
Democratic paper which ceased to circulate
about year since, will soon be revived under
favorable auspices.
A fire in Bangor on Saturday destroyed
houses, a livery stable and some sheds. The
contents of the stores and dwellings, as also of
the stable were mostly saved. The loss is esti-
mated to be not above $4,000.
The Saco Democrat boasts subscriber who
has just paid his thirty seventh annual sub
scription to that paper. ~
: Various improvements are projected in
Bangor this season. The Whig says that Han
cock street is to be widened ten feet opposite
the Penobscot Exchange, and from Exchange
street to French street. Apublic square is also

the old buildings being cleared away, and leav-

the proposed square and on Exchange street.
The "ring and locket" man is operating in
some of the towns Of this state with surprising
success. He seems to find plenty of gudgeons
ready to bite the clumsily baited hook.
The Bangor Whig is informed that the sta
BILE of III. Lancaster, Depusy Sheriff, at Upper
Saltwater, was entered ON the night of the 30th
of May, and his best horse and harness taken
out, and his gig taken from the stable door and
carried some distance below the stable. Some
one passing saw the man harnessing the horse
and gave the alarm. The thief fed to the
woods, and was pursued. Men were sent to
the forks of the road both ways, with orders to,
arrest all passers-by. Two men were arrested
one answering the description of the one seen
taking the horse. They were tried and were
acquitted, much to the surprise, says the Wing,
of those who heard the testimony.

The Secretary of the Treasury, in response
to the House resolution concerning the sales
OF gold in New York in May, reports there
were sold $S5,0O0,4 ,440, paying p. NJ. Rogers,
the agent for selling, Is of one per cent. The
rates at which the gold sold were $26, 1876 900
dL lou TO, 9O,00U.UUU al I0U l-4: S0U,OUO at
$50 1-2, $2,O6OO00 at 131, and $345,000 at
131 ! s. These were the only sales since Feb
ruary. The coin in the Treasury, which had
been accumulating, was held to facilitate a re-
turn to specie payments, or to be disposed OF
in any emergency to project the national cred
it, or prevent the depreciation of the national
currency to an extent to affect injuriously
business, and especially the interests of the
laboring and producing classes. These were
his instructions to Mr.. Van Dyck, and his let
ter OF explanation, which was also submitted,
shows they were fully carried out The sales
in February amounted to fifteen millions, at
premium between thirty-seven and thirty
eight per cent, and were made on account ol
apprenended political complications. The
sales in May were made on account OF the un-
favorable financial intelligence from Europe.
On receipt OF disastrous news brought by rhe
Cuba, the sales were continued under an ac-
tive demand, and larger amount was dispos-
ed of than would have been the case if word
could have reached Mr.. Vandyck in time TO
suspend. But the Secretary is now satisfied
with the proceedings, as a suspension at that
time wound have caused panic Though re
gretting the heavy sales, he says the action of
Mr.. Vandyck was both courageous and jul
diciOus. The sondest merchants and bankers
OF New York concur in this opinion.
The Portland daily press., 1866-06-06
POLITICAL.

The Union Vedette, published at Great Salt
Lake City, reports the following decision as re-
Gently made by Judge Drake of the United
States District Court, held at Provo City:
Upon an application made to the Court for
naturalization papers, he refused to issue them
to any man practicing polygamy either prior or
subsequent to the passage of the act of Con-
gress on that subject 1t was held that man
who defed the anti-polygamy act of Congress,
or any other law of the country, and persistent
ly refused to obey the law of the United States
was in no way entitled to citizenship or any Of
the benefits accruing therefr0m.
The Bangor papers are discussing the PROOF
required by the State authorities under the
pension act passed by the last Legislature. The
instructions recently issued declare that the
enefits of the act are designed for those only
who otherwise "would become chargeable as
paupers. The act itself says that persons who
are liable to obtain livelihood" by other means
shall not be entitled to the pension. The dis
pute turns on two points, 1. Whether the act
is correctly interpreted, and 2. Whether the
language of the instructions is judicious.
The Bangor Wing, by authority, withdraws
the name of Hon. John A. Rice from the can
vass in the Fourth District for Representative
to Congress. This is understood to ensure the
nomination of Hon. John A. Peters, who we
trust, will represent his district as well and
faithfully as Mr.. Rice has done since his first
election in 1860. Always watchful of the in
terests of his constituents, always in his seat
and always voting on the right side, he has well
deserved the public confidence which has twice
returned him to the capital.
