CAUuoN.-W hear of number Of cases
where persons have been poisoned by sim
ply brushing potato bugs off the vines. 1t
seems that these pests have poison which
they communicate by being handled, and
people cannot be too careful. 1t is also
stated that the fumes arising from burning
them is poisonous, and care should be TAX
en- not to inhale the smoke.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.--Shortly after II
o clock on Saturday night last the wagon
house on the farm of Mr. MoRITZ KIEL, on
the town line road, about three miles from
tie village, was discovered to be on fire,
and, notwithstanding the efforts made by
Mr.. KEEL and his ncighbors to save the
property, the flames rapidly spread to his
two large barns and other outbuildings,
which were soon utterly destroyed, with
the greater part Of their contents. Mr.
KIEL's loss embraces the wagon house, a
new building, 2ix36 feet on the ground,
containing about four tons of last year S
hay his old barn, partly log and partly
frame, 2Sxo4 feet, with two calves and
about fourteen tons of new hay; his new
frame barn, 30x0l feet, Just completed,
with about 1000 feet of lumber; a hog
pen, containing four large hogs and about
thirty chickens; smoke house, contain
ing about $3.50 worth of meat, belonging
to himself and Mr.. PETER STADLER ; and
one wagon, two ploughs, two drags, and
three sleighs, which were out doors be-
tween the two barns, but could not be got
at on account of the extreme heat. Mr..
KIEL's cattle were in tho old barn, and
VIXEN the fire was discovered the flames
from the wagon house were beating against
the door so that it was impossible to enter
it. An opening was promptly made in the
back part of the barn, and all the cattle,
with the exception Of the two calves men
toned above, were saved. Mr.. KEEL S
house was at one time on fire, and was with
difficulty saved from being involved in the
general destruction, and large quantity of
vheat and rye, standing on the opposite
side Of the road, was badly scorched. HIS
total loxs will reach $4,000. The two barns
and their contents were insured for ST 100
in the Mechanics Mutual of Milwaukee
How the FIRE originated is mystery
The wagon house, in which it was first dis
covered, was a new building, built of green
lumber, and therc had been no fire in or
near it, which fact makes the suspicion that
the fire was the work of an incendiary a
plausible one. This family seem to be an
unfortunate one, two brothers of Nlr. *,
living in the same neighborhood, having
previously been burned out. This calami-
ty is to Mr. KEEL almost a crushing one,
but he is already at work with praiseworthy
spirit and enterprise attempting to repair
the damage done We sincerely hope that
this severe visitation will not cause him
permanent embarrassment.

karly decease. We have borne many
Is since our residence here-many jeers

file many of its political opponents are
E to give it credit for consistency in its

The first number of the Pilot promised
active and earnest support of Democrat
principles. We have faithfully endeav
ID to fulfill the pledge, and no better
oof can be shown than the handsome ma
ity which the Democracy possess in the
lnty-its thorough organization, and the
ion, harmony and good feeling which ex-
among its members. If we have aided
the good work, we have only performed
pleasant duty.

FIRE AND ALLEGED INcEsD1ARrsM. :

FIRE AND ALLEGED 1NoENDIARIsM.- =
Last Friday morning the mill on the Mani
towoc river, near Villas & Co. s woolen
mill, known as the 'sstom mill, " and owns
ed by Mr.. CHARLES KUsz, was totally de-
stroyed by fire. Loss, about $500. No
insurance. The building was formerly
owned by Dir. THos. w. BAKER, who
built it for saving stone, in connection with
his marble quarry. Mr.. KUNz was reft-
ting it as grist mill, aud was at work
with his carpenters in the lower story at
the time of the breaking out OF the fire,
which originated in the upper story. Mr..
KUNZ caused the arrest of BAKER on the
charge of incendiarism, and the latter was
brought before Police Justice ELDRIDGE
o:. Saturday. He waived an examination,
and was required to give bail in the sum of
So, 900 for his appearance at the next term
of court, which he did. We forbear CON-
ment as to the guilt of the accused, fur
ther than to say that We have heard of
no cause for suspicion against him except
the fact that he was in the mill q few min>
utes before the fire was discovered, and OF
no motive for the commission of the act be-
yond the fact that the property in question
formerly belonged to him, but was lost
through misfortune in business.

Farmers OF Maine! We are in earnest up
ON this subject, and exceedingly an xious to
awaken in you an interest and determina-
ton to give more attention to the cultivation
and raising of wheat. Knowing that the soil
and climate of our State are well adapted to
the growth OF this important crop, we have
no hesitatign in again urging you to prepare
your lands and sow them with wheat the
coming spriug which is close upon us. We
hope and trust that many of our farmers Sc
lected and prepared some fields for this pur-
pose, last autumn, but if not, we urge them
TO do so as soon as the spring opens. Don't
be afraid of insects; have full faith in the
promise OF seed-time and harvest; gaze not
at the clouds; .prophesy wet or dry
season, nor calculate the different phases OF
the moon, for she has nothing to do with the
matter, but SOW your wheat fields just as soon
as they can be prepared to receive the seed,
whether the queen of the night is full, orbed,
or, half extinguished, displays her crescent in
the western sky.
Select the best lands on your farms; plow
deep; spread manure on the surluce; pulyer-
The Portland daily press., 1868-02-27

Every morning the world wakes up oues-
tiohing whether something startling may not
nave taken place during the night, and pre-
pared 70 near almost anything. April 1861
and February 1868 are the beginning of two
distinct eras in the history of the United
states. AT such times the excitement attend
ing the progress of great events is such that
1t is impossible to predict what NAV occur
the next instant. The events of ordinary
years are crowded into days. In the present
crisis, patriots can only pray that the flow of
blood and the waste Of treasure that followed
the eyentlu day in Charleston harbor NAV
not attend the first impeachment of Presi-
dent. The history of this decade will be full
enough OF war, without an appendix to the
rebellion.
The central historical figure of the i'm
peachment era will no doubt be Thaddeus
stevens. His contemporaries are too familiar
with his weaknesses and folies, and have too
often ignored his counsels and rejected his
leadership, to make it possible for him to con-
centrate attention upon himself at this time.
But he is one of those men whom the fancy
ol future writers will build up to formidable
proportions. From the slender material fur,
nished by Washington dispatches and letters,
he may be dressed up as the hero of a TRACE
dy For months he labors to unseat the ruler
oil great country, calling upon his associates
IN the name of liberty and justice to hurl the
tyrant and usurper from his position. When
prayers have failed to effect their purpose, he
sclnples not to resort to upbraiding and
curses Finally he gives up in despair, and
believed by all to be on the verge of the grave,
he sullenly announces that he will speak of
| impeachment never more. But day comes
| when he triumphs. He becomes the prom-
ment actor in an event to which he has look
| ed forward as the Israelites dreamed oil en-
! tering the promised land. Tottering into the
Senate chamber he has stood at the bar and
announced to the Senators the accusation of
the representatives OF the people against the
Chief Magistrate. His lips pronounced those
words for the first time in America, and,
Heaven grant, for the last time. Then he sat
glaring with lack-luster eyes, pale, exhausted
and almost breathless, at the garrulous old
topperhead from Kentucky who would go on
with his speech when the Senate wished to
take action upon the all-important announce
ment. H5frH fa11agr5
But Stevens was by no means the prime
mover in the proceedings which actually led
to impeachment. The members OF the ex-
treme radical party that have taken the lead
in the previous abortive attempts at impeach-
ment, are more in the background now, and
the men who have hesitated to apply the
great constitutional remedy for many months,
take the leading parts. 1t is to great ex-
tent the men who have been called Conserv-
atives, like Bingham of Ohio and Wilson of
Iowa, that have given impeachment an i'm
petus which bids fair to carry it forward till
the President is removed from his place. and
| disqualified for holding any official position
hereafter, as contemplated by the Consti-
| tuition.

'n9toa's Birthday-Fire. .
KocKLAND, Feb. 25, 1868.
TO the Editor Of the Press
The Mammoth Leyee for .ba Worthy
Poor was held two evenings last week. dur-
ing both of which Atlantic Hall was crowded
TO lepletion. The entertainments were sut-
hcently interesting to repay those who may
mol nave attended through motives of charity
In the excellent arrangements and in the
economical management of the whole affair,
great credit was due to the cleyerness of
Messrs. Snow, Litchfield and other liberal and
energetic citizens. The net proceeds of the
two evenings, $7O0.99, have been deposited
in the LIMERICK Bank, to be distributed in
aims among those who are deemed worthy.
Among other diversions in the LeVee, vas
the awarding OF a gold-hea1ed cane, valued
at some twenty-five dollars, to the physician
who should receive the most votes. The votes
were set at the low price of ten cents, which
was too low for the success of the enterprise,
though it was not failure. The whole num-
Der OF votes polled was 1884, putting $780,
10 into the treasury of the Levee. DIR. Esta-
brook received 420 votes; DIR. Esten, 391; DIR.
Wiggin, PSI; and halt dozen others follow
ed alter.
It's matter OF course that many of the poor
for whom this Levee was holden, are destitute
and objects of proper charity through the in
difference and negligence of dissipated hus-
bands or fathers. How to reach them AMI
aid them, without placing the means of fur
ther dissipation in the hands of such hus-
bands and fathers and without feeding the la
zy OF the houshold, is left to the considera-
tion and action of certain ward committees.
II is to be hoped that, being brought TO be-
hold unmistakably the cause of most of the
wretchedness and suffering among the poor,
our people win become more than ever ac-
tive in the temperance cause and in favor of
putting the villainous rum traffic under the
municipal ban.
Our Mayor has been vigilant the past year
in suppressing dram shops, without Constab-
ulary assistance. We understand that he re-
fuses to become a candidate for the Office a
second time, for the reason that the people
have not been ardent enough in sustaining
his strict execution of the laws. The City
Marshal has done all that one man in his Of
flee, with two patrolling police. could do. The
peop-e have yet to learn what is for their
highest prosperity.
The Grant Club celebrated Washington's
birthday and had very interesting though
not over. enthusiastic meeting.
