by young and good looking Irish lady. A
barrel Of -four fell off team in Fore street,
near Exchange, the head of which came out,
splitting about half a bushel of flour in the
street. This lady seeing the accident, and
wanting the flour, but having no apron, hest

and spread it on the ground, scooped the -four
into it with her hands, and thus wrapping it
up, carried the flour home with pleased ex-

The New York Evening Gazette is like Da-
vid Copperfeld's landlady Mrs. Crupp, sub
ject to 'spazzums." 1t is constantly going off
into commissions at the evil tendencies Of
things in general. Its latest attack is caused
by consideration of the demoralizing effect of a
literary Life on women. al literary women
are coarse and unfeminine,. according to the
Gazette; and mothers ought to carefully checJ,
in their daughters any budding tendencies to-
ward that way of life. If woman has the al
tentative of earning her bread by literature or
going without bread, the Gazette can magnan-
imously forgive the poor thing for choosing
literature, but its real admiration is reserved
for her who chooses decorously and genteelly,
to starve. 1t is truly painful to think how few
women, SO circnmstanced, will ever rise to the
womanly height emitting them to its approval.
The extreme delicacy of our contemporary e
sensibilities in this respect will be appreciated
when it is known that that rare embodiment
OF all true womanliness, Elizabeth Barrett
Browning-the bright consummate flower roi
feminine sweetness, genius and culture-is
among the examples held up to show the
codrsening effects of literature on women! The
Gazette should emigrate to the shores of the

STATE CONSTABLE NYE is reported by cor

County Temperance Convention at Bruins
wick, that if the Kennebec. journal, Bangor
Wing and Portland Press had been true to the
temperance cause, Chamberlain's majority
this fall would have been twenty-seven OF
eight thousand. Our own correspondents
whose report will be found in another column,
makes no allusion to such remark. If Mr..

he committed an indiscretion which he will
probably see cause to regret and which we dc

York CoUNTY.-The Kennebec Jurnal pub
fishes the official vote for Senators in all the
towns in York County with the exception of
Cornish and Hollis, which two towns it takes
fromthe Saco Democrat 1t appears there
were SO scattering votes for Senators, and that
the returns of the whole number of ballots
thrown are very imperfectly made by some of
the town clerks. Says the journal :aai'fa9a
The Saco Democrat claims the election of
the Senators in York county and gives table
OF votes essentially in blind way and artfully
omits to give the number of ballots thrown and
conceals the number of scattering votes, and of
course its table determines nothing. If it took
the Governor vote as a basis for the whole
number of ballots, then it would require, with
s elec SGataerps XotsI s Votes
we take the whole number of ballots in the
clerks returns, then it would require 6507 votes
to elect. The law requires the returns of the
whole number of ballots but this has not been
complied with, one clerk emitting it altogeth-
or and others returning the whole number of
votes Tor Senators as ballots, and these returns
would throw out the election. We shall re-
move the names of Senators elect from York
county until the question is settled by the Off
cial count, ft ~ ;ili5lic5t-t-i4 TO 4i.-,iii
