To the Editor Of the Press:
The public will have heard of the sad casu-
atty by which eight lives were lost this after
noon, off this harbor. I give you in brief the
particulars. A party came in from Southwest
Harbor about half past eleven in the sail boat
Telegraph, owned by Mr.. Freeman of South
west Harbor, and piloted by one Robinson, as
I got his name. They were Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark, and Miss Blake, of birmingham, Mass,
Mr.. Harmon, two ladies whose names have
not been able to get, and Mr.. and Mrs. Chase,
all from Philadelphia. They remained about
an hour and put out again with another boat
that had accompanied them, in charge of Mr..
John freeman. Two other boats started out
soon after, one in charge Of Capt. Higgins,
and the yacht Maggie Mitchell. We were
BADLY bafied by flaws in getting out of the har-
Dor. The Telegraph and her companion boat,
however, were getting on well. All the boats
were separated by the distance of mile or
more. When the Telegraph was about four
miles out squalls began to strike us. The Tel
cgraph was seen to careen, but righted again,
partially, at least. Another squall, and she
Woo oOCA W So ONOI, anu III tuIco VI lOuI lulu-
utes she went down. Capt, Higgins, who was
nearest and had the best course, reached the
spot first. 1t may have been 10 or 20 minutes
-Four persons were seen floating upon the sur
face. Not a trace of the boat was seen. She
had gone down so rapidly that no one seems
1 to have had time to loose and launch the small
boat, and the pilot had gone with her. There
were only two persons with Capt. Higgins, a
lad and clergyman 1t was with difficulty
that he could manage his own boat in the
heavy sea and with the treacherous squalls
| At imminent risk he put out in his small boat
and succeeded in rescuing but one-Miss
Blake. Before he got back to his large boat
the wreck had disappeared. The Maggie
Mitchell came up but was too late 1t is hop
ed that some OF the bodies may yet be recover
/ ed, but it is altogether unlikely. -r b.
la later account gives the names of the per.
sons drowned as Rev. R. G. Chase, pastor o.
the church of st. Matthias, Philadelphia, and
wife; Josiah w. Harmar, a lawyer of Phia
delphia; Mr.. It. T. Clark, cashier of the Fran
ingham Bank, Mass, and wife; Miss Haupt
and Miss Tazwell, of Philadelphia, and Capt
Robinson, of fremont, Maine. Up to yester

THE REPUBLICAN GENERAL COMMITTEE of
the city of New York is said by the Tribune
to be composed of a number of gentlemen who
left the Republican party because they were
not allowed to remain in it; who now consti-
tute Democratic forlorn hope and are engage
ed in this action under false colors; and who
would have disbanded had it not been for Mr..
Thurlow Weed, whose extraordinary magma
ton conceived the plan for nominating General
Grant for the Presidency, The Committee
consummated their labors with "three enthu-
siastic cheers for General Grant and Thurlow
Weed" Upon this sinister combination the
Tribune moralzes as follows:
Dreadful would be the fate of the General
commanding the armies of the United States
should he tail into the hands of Mr. Weed as
Oliver Twist into the clutches of Faain. the
jew. We all know what MIR. Weed win do
with the General if he catches him. Just as
Fag1n tried to make Oliver thief, Mr.. Weed
VIII seek to turn Grant into one of those nom
,aeScrlpt party leaders who are half Democratic,
hait Republican, and wholly detestable He
will turn the Generals uniform inside out: he
VIII array him anew in blue and gray; he will
make HIM anew after his own image, SO that
we shall have victorious soldier objecting to
o one colauct OF the war, patriot whose high
est ambition is Office, and a statesman whose
MODEST policy is to make the people forget that
principle is greater than expediency. General
Grant bound in chains by his conqueror, will
De led through the land as one of the trophies
Oh Ihe forlorn Hope. Mr. Weed will turn tri-
umphantly to the Democrats, and saw aHaye
we done you no service then? Can YOU
abuse us any longer as renegades without
influence, and deserters who can't fight

Mr.. Weed will mount upon his back; Vallan-,

BROOKS, will get up behind, and with James
the whole party will set off on trot to

? ACCIDENT ON THE GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY.
Inc express train from Island Pond, Thurs
day morning, came in contact with a broken
rail at Berlin Falls. The engine, tender and
baggage car passed over in safety, but the two
passenger cars were brought in collision. The
damage sustained was very slight, but the bag
gage master, George w. Pickett, of this city,
was badly damned while attempting to set the
brake. A surgeon at Gorham attended to him
and found that no bones were broken, and he
was brought to his home in this city. Yester-

COMMUNICATIVE Bangor Democrat makes
the following grave charge against its neigh
Dor of the Wing:
He Will not tell his currant-raising fellow
citizen what he shall do with his great eron of
currants, since he is not allowed to make them
into wine under the pains and penalties of
heavy fine and long Imprisonment.
We have always regarded the Wing and its
editor with profound respect until now, but
such vicious obstinacy as this really aoiu moi
do. We venture to say that there is not an
other editor in the State but has "cried like
child" over this plea for the "currant-raising
fellow-citizen," but the Wing man sits calmly
in his sanctum while the great crop" is con-
verified into gutinous jellies or inspid pre-
serves instead of the "rosy wine' which SO
commends itself to the gustatory sense. Nero
solacng himself by performing on the violin
during confagration is proverbially an illus
tration ofheartless insensibility. But this ed
itor does not even fiddle. Such conduct as
this must surely be the result of"a heart re-
