The battle is fought and the victory won; the
Rsbs. rspulsed a srsry point; the battle6eld
still In the possession Of the Union troops.
One Of the mos, desperate efforts was made
BY the Copperhesds Of thi, town to get posses-
sion Of the Ballot Bo, on Monday, March 9th;
arst by ballotlns. in that they were outnumbered.
Capt II. II. Burbank, being elected Moderator
Of the meeting. The fury Of the Cops. on the
declaration Of this ballot was unbounded. A
riotous feeling prevailed among them, and fur
ther proceedings Of the meeting at that hour
was impossible. A mob composed Of the rsbblo
Of the Democrats, headed by L. s. Moore, Is
usual. gathered around the Moderator's desk
with cries. Pull the id scamp OUT" and
several blows were passed at the Moderator. but
without effect John Moore made several Per.
sonal efforts to snatch the ballot box, but In
that he failed. The same spirit that inspired
Capt Burbank while leading his men on to VIC
tory against the Rebs. and the Southern battle
srick, on March 9th. and when he gave the
word Jorrard your ballots for Town Clerk,
with firm step the Union voters moved for
ward to victory, elcctins the Town Clerk by .
splendid majority; on the third ballot electing
J. NJ. Mason for first Selectman. The leader Of
the mob withdrew to his quarters, leaving the
Geld in full possession Of the Republicans, they
electing the remaining officers from 40 to 20
majority. Mr.. Moore was badly wounded in
this engagement; he Is under the care Of DR..
Lane at present, who is still the head physician
at the Democratic Hospital Of Limerick. II Is
supposed that many moro are sick as nothing
has been heard from them since the battle. We
think that q few boxes Of Abrams Union Pills
would effect permanent cure.
REPUBLICAN.
Parsoasfed.
A correspondent at Parsons6eld says, "0ur
Town meeting passed of quietly. There was o
small vote. The largest vote was for Modera-
tor-Democratic 2l2; Republican l4S, Re
publican gain Of 3 over last September. Off
Gers elected are Otis Churchill, Clerk; Joseph
Derbon, Samuel Merrill, Hardy Merrill. Select
men. Every Republican in town Is decided but
firm. Democrats clustering but shaky. We
shall sleep better after We hear that the arch
traitor has been compelled to take back seat"
Masonic Installation.
The officers elect Of Freedom Lodge No. AZ,
Of r. and A. NJ, were publicly installed ut Town
Hall, Limerick, on Friday March 8, Grand
Master, T. j. Murray officiating in his own In
tercsting style, and imparting his accustomed
good advice. Rev. E. c. BOlles Of Portland de-
livered very able, eloquent and finished adj
dress, which was inspiriting to the fraternity
and highly interesting to the audience. Aboun-
tiful table was then spread by s'mine host" Mr..
Iougce Of the Albion House, and duo justice
was done TO Its burdens by the brethren with
their ladies and invited guests, and the cheerful
company then dispersed, saving those who must
needs "Trip the light fantastic toe" for few
happy hours.
