A CAMPAIGN SToRY.-During the time when
politics were running high in this State, some
years before the great rebellion, a convention
was held by one of the parties in Bangor 20
nominate candidate for Governor. One
name was proposed, and then another but
without obtaining the requisite number Of
votes to secure a nomination, It happened
that there dwelt in the city middle aged gem
tleman of whom nothing was known except
that at the hour of one o'clock, precisely, he
was accustomed to enter one of the hotels for
his dinner, and always occupied the same seat
Such had been his practice for years, SO that he
had become an object of interest to the many
patrons of the establishment.
Finding it was impossible to nominate any
of the regular candidates, a happy thought
struck one of the delegates and he proposed
this gentleman, whom we will call Ferguson,
as candidate. None knew anything about
him and he was nominated, and a committee
appointed to wait upon him and inform him of
abe fact After q short absence the committee
returned, the Convention was called to order,
and the Chairman Of the Committee reported
that they had called upon Mr.. Ferguson, had
stated TO him the action Of the Convention and
that Mr.. Ferguson haebeen pleased TO say she
didn't care a d."

THE LUMBER BUSINESS.
Notwithstanding the little "onpleasantness"
in Cuba, as Nasty would say-the lumber
men on the Saco river are making extensive
preparations to do a heavy business as soon
as sufficient quantity of snow comes to allow
them TO get their logs to the mills. Mr.. Chas
McKenney, at this place is to do the most Of
his logging on the cars over the Portland and
Rochester railroad. He is now running four
machines on Heading,and manufactures about
1000 per dag. F
Mr.. B. G. Jordan is extensively engaged in
the manufacture of bogshead shocks in addi-
ton to his other hard wood lu nber business.
He stands ready to fur nish anything for the
building of ship,-from treenlil TO the
heaviest plank.
SALE OF TIMBER.
Last week there was an auction sale OF price
timber here, embracing four lots owned by
Mr. Richard Palmer. Joseph Hobsou, Esq, Of
saco, was the highest bidder and purchased
the whole at $4,000. The amount of timber on
the lots has been estimated at rising million.
TEMPERANCE. 81
About three months ago Good Templar
Lodge was organized, in this village, which
has done g vast amount of good, and thus far
has been managed with signal success. At
the commencement there were about ten MEM
bers, and now the number exceeds one hun
dred. Some of the best men of the village have
lately joined, and with them several young
men whose greatest falling has been too
strong desire for ardent spirits.
BURGLARIEs.
For the past three weeks the people OF Hol-
lis Centre FL d vicinity have been in state of
CONSERVATION at numerous petty, but bold
burglaries committed 10 the neighborhood.-
The store of 7. C. Mulvery has been entered
three times and goods of some value taken
taken each time. Last Wedn esday night the
rascals enter ed the house of Mrs. Jefferson. a
widow lady who was absent at the time, and
stole goods at the valuation OF $50. This act
aroused the citizens and put them on the
alert. Friday night strange man was seen
on the raiIroai, near the station. whose ap-
pearance created some suspicion. Two or
three followed him and when they overlook
him he drew revolver, which was knocked
from his hand by one of the party. He was
taken into custody and had hearing before a
trial justice, Saturday morning. He said he be-
longed to a gang of ten experienced burglars,
and that it had been their intention to open
Mr.. Mulvery's safe that night When arrest
ed he had on Mr.. Mulvery's overcoat taken
from the store land had in his pocket deed
Of Mrs. Jellersoa's property. Some one said
that it was on account of this deed that he

A SQUARE TALK WITH "FAIR PLAY."-Sat-
urday evening the Portland Advertiser pub
llshed communication signed Fair Play"
which we are authorized fro NJ strong internal
evidence contained therein 10 believe emanated
from some source foreign 20 this part of the
State. il is not presumable that auv man Of
respectable intelligence residing in Cumber-
land county would talk of "the four men who
constitute majority of our City Committee"
Having thus established conclusively the for-
egn birth, education, residence aid sympathies
of the party, let US see what the intt rloper
says. In the first place the Republicans of
Portland were gagged" by the action OF the
City Committee In calling the convention of
September together 20 nominate a candidate
f,r Representative instead of calling ward eau
crlses and beginning de nouo. What intensified
nonsense! II this allegation is just, 1t is the
settled policy Of the party TO have its members
gagged" for presidents running back to the
time of the organization Of the party point to
the very course that was taken and no other
The other allegations Of the foreign correspon-
dent OF the Advertiser are equally groundless.
We have the authority of the City Committee
for stating that no canvass of the committee
was taken by any member before they had con-
cluded upon the line of conduct that should be
adopted. At the time the committee acted
not one member kaae,o the names Of the persons
pho constituted the convention. Indeed it was
reported on the Monday following the Satur-
day on which the committee acted that an ac-
curate canvass of the members of the conven-
ton had been made by parties opposed to the
views alleged by Fair Play" to. be entertained
by the committee, and that it had been found
that a majority .Jarored the ronainatiou Of
gentleman ss4e soos in sympathy acith the can
yassers. -
This foreign gentleman who has dropped in
to our local politics ain a,friendly way" should
be su e that be is right on some one point be-
fore making so ridiculous an exhibition of
himself. Whether his conclusions are right as
to the wishes of the people of Portland may be
inferred from the fact that every ward was
represented In the meeting Of the committee
that took the course he objects to, and only
one of the niue members present failed TO
agree with the majority. The majority for Mr..
Drummond in yesterdays election Is further
and conclusive evidence of the foreign gentle
mans mistakes. The will OF the Republicans
of Portland found accurate expressions in that
result, in spite OF the vain imaginiugs of mall
