About ten o'clock Thursday night, Mr. Ro-
land West of Brewer, q droyer, was attacked
by three ruffiians, while passing from the
Bowdoin neighborhood to the Hewey settle
ment in Orrington, and robbed of $l75. One
of the ruffiians struck Mr.. West with u knife
in the breast, cutting through his clothes and
through a thick memorandum book in his
breast pocket. No doubt the book prevented

of murder to answer for. No arrests have
been made. So says the Bangor Wing.

We must confess that we are somewhat sur
prsed at the nomination of Seymour aud Blair,

all classes Of politicians. Almost
any good Democrat nominated by the Con

vote of tie party, but what was wanted, was a
good conservative man, that would have Sc
cured not only the one line Democrats, but also
brought to the party the aid of a large number
of Conservative Republicans who have become
disguised with the Radical measures promul-
&c and supported by their party. The Re-

prevent any others from following in their
