the first place, the family is not Flench. but
bears the wholly un-F1ench name of Sprawl.
In the second place, it does not Consist of a
mother and seven children" but of father,

is tanner by trade and has been employed at
Westbrook for several years, receiving good
pay, and supplying his family with good food
and good clothing. He has been living tenn
porarily in North street in this city, and is now
in Canada, whittier it is said he intends to
remove with his family. Thirdly there were
not three children suffering from an attack of
typhoid fever" but two. Fourthly, DR.. Le-
Prohon, who has at various times attended up-
on the family, made not one but fire visits dur
ing the illness of these children, and was con-
suited and gave advice twice at his office be-
sides. Finally, the "poor woman" did not tell
him that she had one dollar which kind
gentleman gave her the night before and that
was every cent she possessed in the world"
but after promising to call at the doctors of
flee on Saturday and pay him for his services,
told him Monday that she paid number of
bills Saturday and found she had only dollar
left, which she rendered him and which he re-

A SINGULAR CAsE.-One of the soldiers at
Fort Preble a short time since wished to mar
ny ayoung girl of sixteen years belonging in
Cape Elizabeth. As he conld not get the con-
sent of her parents or guardians, which the
statutes require for females under Is years. he
represented to the town clerk, in order to be
published and to get his license to marry her,
that the girl was over IS years of age. Finding
so much opposition to his uniting himself with
the girl he spirited her away, and as is sup
posed, concealed her somewhere, as she has
been missing for several days, and cannot be
found. ts 1885 ta9aa
Yesterday he was brought before the Munic-
ipal Court charged with making false repre-
sensations to the town clerk of Cape Eliza
beth, for the purpose of obtaining the certifi-
cate of intention to marry. He pleaded guilty
and in default of bail for his appearance at the
Supreme Judicial Court in November, was
committed to Jail. This course was pursued by
the friends of the girl in the hope of finding
out where she is concealed.

THURMAN's PePULARITHsSaUrH-
Al veteran soldier of the 73d Ohio
Regiment related in our hearing the
other day, an incident that oc-
Cured on campaign from Chatta-
nooga to Alabama. He says that
while his regiment rested for few
minutes at Etowah, in Georgia, he
had some conversation with a rebel
lady. Her first inquiry was about
Judge Thurman of Columbus, Ohio,
the present candidate of the Copper
head Democracy for Gov. The lady
was outspoken in praise of the Judge
and his family. She said that the
Confederacy had one friend in Ohio
at least. tried and true, IN the person
of Judge Thurman. She said she
had son then prisoner of war
at Camp Chase, who always spoke
in the highest terms of praise of
the Judge and his family for their
kindness to prisoners of war. Was
ever mother of sick or wounded
Union soldier confined to the hospi-
tails about Columbus known to bear
testimony to the acts of charity of
Judge Thurman and his family? We
guess not-Kenton Republican.

The "Frozen Well" of Vermont

A correspondent of the Wiscon-
sin State Journal writes from Sun
bury, Vermont, about visit to the
celebrated frozen well in that neigh-
borhood:
We had gone through the valley,
and a mile beyond. going south,
when at the forks of the road my
companion spoke, "Would you like
to see the frozen well?' "Yes. =
So he turns to the left of our intend
ed route and pulls up few hundred
yards beyond, where party of men
are at work under the direction of
Mr.. Sawyer, Of Boston. He has
been sent here by the Boston Socie-
ty of Natural history to investigate
the mystery of the ''frozen well, !"
and which he has not as yet discov-
cred. Some years ago some curious
or wise men of Boston raised $500
and put Professor Jackson up to
solve the mystery. He came one
fine day, looked down the well. saw
the ice in it in midsummer, drank the
solid water, looked wise and puzzled,
went home and wrote report that
IN his opinion an iceberg had been
buried there in the drift period -
Good and wIse-but people laughed
about it, and some were so mean as
to talk about the price paid. Mr..
Sawyer has dug tw o new wells, each
forty to fifty feet from the old well,
and finds no ice, or unusual appear
ance. The wells are sunk through
coarse gravel and stones. The
frozen well is about thirty feet
deep. In winter the ice forms over
the water eight or ten inches in thick
ness, and ice remains in the well all
summer. Holding 8 looking glass
so as to throw the rays of the sun
to the water in the well, I saw
rim of ice adhering to the stones at
the surface of the water. 1 drank
the water, which is pure and ice cold.
If Mr.. Sawyer has solved the
mystery he did not tell us. 1t is
very strange and curious thing, and
has excited much inquiry, but the
.'frozen well" is cold and uneX
planned. Mr.. Sawyer is learned
and persevering gentleman, and l
hope he may be able to throw some
light on the subject, but l doubt it.

SEPTEMBER 5, 1876

"The pickets happened to be men
from Farley's own company, and
they recognized his voice; but the
challenge and the reply had been
heard by the rebels, and sharp fire
was opened on the spot from which
the voices proceeded.
"Poor Farley fell, dangerously
wounded, and it was then seen by his
friends, for the first time, that he had
some one on his back. When the
two were brought into our lines, it
was found that the other man was
General FL. Farley had risked his
life to save that of the man who had
injured him so deeply.
"They were both laid up for a
long time; but when New Years Day
came, Gen. H. went to see poor
Farley, who was still lying weak
and helpless in his ward. What
passed between them no one ever
knew, for they spoke in low tones;
hut when they parted the General
bent down and said, in a broken
voice:
at is glad New Year to me Far

much happiness in store for both of

both recovered and did good service
in the last campaign. But the'nohle
heart of the private had completely
conquered the General.

vate, in spite of military life, had a
heart of gold"

Richmond and the Railroad.

The City Council of Richmond has
adopted the following with reference
to a subscription of 100000, on
part of the city, to the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad:
The special committee, to whom
was referred, on the 8th of July last,
the petition of the citizens of Rich
mond for S2,000,000 subscription to
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
Company, have considered the same.
and submit the following resolutions:
RESOLVED, That the polls be opened
at the various places for opening
polls for members of the Legislature,
on the 18th of September next, to
take the sense of the qualified vo-
tcrs of the city upon the question

Don't Trade,

The copperheads have given up
everything except the design of elect
ing Legislature to send Vallandig
ham to the Senate in place of Ben.
Wade, and are making vigorous ef-
forts to trade off votes for that pur-
pose. The other day one of our
best Republicans was approached by
a Democrat who offered to vote for
certain men on ou: ticket, provided
he would vote for the copperhead
nominees for the Legislature. Be
coming confident and perhaps a lit
tie vexed at our friends refusal, he
informed our friend that the Demo
Gratis were bound to have the Legis.
lature, that their arrangements for
trading all over the State were bound
to win; and the Conservative Repub-
licans who would not trade would be
blackguarded about the negro until
they would be frightend into staying
away from the polls. What pro-
gramme; run us by the cry of niger,
and after the election the copper.
heads to come around and pat US on
the back. Why a Union man thus
served would feel meaner than a
sheep killing dog caught in the act.
But if there ever were any such
characters in our party they have
long since taken refuge in the cop
perhead den; so we have no fears
on that score. Suppose the aforesaid
Democrat should succeed in trading
with dozen Republicans, and then
by any possibility keep his word
The Union party would gain one vote
on two or three candidates, and lose
eleven by the operation. The only
safe rule is to adopt the Democratic
rule to vote the clear ticket without
a scratch ChalicOthe Gazette.

@ deal with the issues of the
day, and ignore those of twenty, ten,
five or four years ago.
So spoke Vallandigham the other
day in Mahonlng county. He at
tempted to ignore all the issues OF
the past five or six years, but the
people will not be apt to give much
assistance in his effort to sink into
oblivion the events of the war
The war tried men as never they
were tried before, and those who
were found wanting then are not
needed now. Vallandigham would,
of course, like to blot outthe history
of his own career, and the history Of
his party, since '6l, but his power is
not equal to the task. In vain he
NAV cry. "Out damned spot! The
spot is there, and will remain. Aid
ers of rebellion against the Govern
ment, vallandigham and his as
sociates must bear the stigma, and
the mark will be as lasting as that
set upon Cain by the Almighty
Western Star.
