The MANUFACTURES OF KENNEBEc-For
sexeral weeks the Kennebec journal has been
publishing series of very interesting and car
fully prepared articles on the manufacturing
enterprises of the different towns in the coun-
ty of Kennebec. At just this time, when pub
lie attention is directed in an especial manner
to the resources of the State and its aptitude
for further development, statistics of the kind
furnished by these papers are of great value,
and the editors of the Journal are entitled to
much credit for furnishing them to the public.

ATTEMPTED SuICIDE.-Yesterdav after
noon rather a strange scene took place in the
dock at the foot of Pearl street. A we'll
dressed man took passage on the Cape Eliza
beth ferry boat, and after she left her wharf
he gave leap overheard and seemed to make
no exertions to save himself. Mr. Libby, who
was on the wharf, took boat and reached
him just in season to grab him as he was
going down for the last time. He was brought
to the shore and Deputy Wentworth carried
him to the station. He did not talk and
seemed to be in an insane condition. In his
pockets were found some letters directed to
David Pettingil, Gardiner. which is probably
his name, and two were directed to a lady at
Baltimore, dated the 9TH and 9th of July.
These letters indicated that the man is in
trouble, and it supposed he took this method
OF destroying his life. His age is about As.
Last evening he seemed to be in his right
mind and stated that he had bad feeling in
his head, and thought the police were all
after him when he jumped overheard.

HARD CHAsE.-Oficer Sterling undertook

of larceny. He came across the man on Wash

Gy-The Gospel Banner, after careful ex
animation of all the testimony in the Auburn
murder case, cannot help the conviction tina
VerriH is innoeent of the charge against hin
and that Harris alone is guilty. The B an
ner gives its reasons as follows: cdr IL
1.sThere are no circumstances which cor
roborate the story Of Harris, but they gener
ally deny it. -
I 2. From Harris own Acknowledgement and
the testimony of others, such Is the character
OF the moral procliyities of this negro, thai
he is just the fellow to commit the deed alone
lie went into q room on another occasion
and got under bed containing two Young
ladiesinsthe evening, with evil intent; went
out ofthe window and downson5 the gutter
He also attempted to enter the room of a
| gentleman from Washington, in the night
who was stopping in Auburn, for the purpose
of robbery. From his own confession, he
drank and Was debased libertine all through
and through while VerrilI has never borne
any such reputation. -s' s>
3. The negro testified that he met Veriill
at 0 81 o'clock when on his way from Auburn
when Verrill made the proposition mention
ed. This is an exceedingly unreasonable sto-
ny considering the GOODNESS of the night and
all the alleged facts in the case But 8
a, errill proves by several witnesses
whose testimony is not impeached that he
was at his place of labor till 9o'clock that
evenins-went to his boarding house in COM
pany with others, got his supper, went to bed
and that at IL o'clock two others went into
his room, one holding light while the other
put quilt ON his bed and that he was then
in bed. - ron 8 c1al esq eI .s7f-T
Thus showing positively that he was with
Others a mile and hdtffrom the place where
the negro said he met him i'll the road, all
/ the ecenihg and until IL O'Clock at n;qht.
And if this part of the negroes story is false,
1t is probable The remainder is false. We do
not see how the jury can convict man of
such crime, on such evidence. 81 y @Ve
1t seems evident that Verrill has been con-
victed on insufficient testimony The state
of The public mind was such in the cominuni-
ty where the horrible tragedy occurred that
we fear an accusation was analogous to con-
viction. We all remember the feeling there
in reference to the vagrant who was first ac-
cused. The poor fellow was lucky to escape
being strung up withoutjudge or jury i'll
had been a genuine white man we are inclin-
ed to think they would have swung him.

A TREATY has just been concluded with the
Sandwich Islands which, in commercial impor-
lance, is said to outweigh the recent treaty by
which this country obtained possession of Rus
sian America. This treaty establishes com
mereial reciprocity with the Sandwich Islands,
thus securing to the States of the Pacific arti-
cles of domestic produce at very low prices,
and secures most important advantages for our
whaling fleet Besides this, it is marked
triumph of American diplomacy over the
scheming designs of Frapce and England, to
gain a controlling interest in the. islands,
which have been so bold and persistent during
the past few years, and the success of which
would have beer very detrimental to Ameri-
can interests. esA niA1
