ANpRosooGGIN COUNTY.

Tuesday evening, says the Journal, as Mr..
j. w. Gerrish of Auburn was coming down a
flight of stairs in the mill of S. r. Bearce s.
Co. where he was employed, his foot slipped
and he fell some distance, breaking several of
his ribs and otherwise severely iniuring him.
He is reported as doing well.
About 100 hands are thrown out of employ
ment by the burning of the wooden mill at
Sabattis, Monday night. The old part of the
mill was not damaged to any extent. The fire
is supposed to have caught from the friction of
belt. We do not hear the damage officially
as estimated, though it is unoficially stated to
be from $4,000 to $4,000. The journal says
the underwriters were called to the spot
Wednesday to adjudge the losses, which were
covered by insurance.

PERPLEXITIEs OE THE FUTURE HISTORIAN.
Under this title the New York Post in
dulges in serious reflections ON the marked
differences of opinion expressed by Washing
: ton correspondents with reference to General
Buffers argument:
Do Washington correspondents think that
they are making up record of the times
which will some day furnish trustworthy
basis for the historian? We trust that this is
their effort but fear they do not always sue
coed. For instance, when some future Ban
croft shall take up the files of to-day's papers
for contemporary chronicle of the impeach-
ment trial he will find in the Washington COR
respondence of one of the papers that Mr..
Butler "was eagerly listened to, and at many
portions of it his audience hung upon his
words in rapt attention. His gesture was eff
fective and good; his personal appearance that
of the dignifed gentleman; his argument
close, and to the point; and / but re-echo the
general expression, even of his opponents and
the opponents of impeachment, when l say
that it was one of the best efforts ever put
forth in the United States, even in the palm
lest days of the oratory of the Republic"
Another correspondent says, on the other
hand: 1.-THE speech is spoken of, even by the
admirers of Mr. Butler as an excessively dull
and feeble effort, TAR short of the great eXpec-
tations placed upon it. Mr.. Butler read the
formidable document, which covered thirty
eight pages, in a tone and gesture which
would rather suggest mimicry than sober
earnest. Mr.. Buffers voice is the strangest
ever mortal speaker saluted the public ear
with. 1t resembles in its intonations the COM
bined and varied noises of a cracked barrel Or
gan and chorus of bull terriers in a street
fght-now sharp and snappish, and again
wheezy and rasping.
How can the future Bancroft strike fair
average in such a case as this? toG1 f-

GOOD NEws-The present week has so far
been crowded with events that cannot fail to
give great satisfaction to the members Of the
Republican party. The municipal elections
in this and other States have shown Repub-
can gains oftener than the reverse. This week
it has become for the first time certain that
the Arkansas constitution has been adopted
This fact has at last been established beyond
all controversy by dispatch to Gen. Grant
saying that the constitution has been ratified
by at least two thousand majority. Best of all
is the result of the Rhode Island election. Be-
fore the election we did not see Republican
newspaper that suggested the possibility Of a
Republican gain in that State. On the contra
ry it was anticipated that the majority of last
year would be somewhat reduced. On this
account the triumph is all the more gratifying.
1t must have a favorable effect upon the Con-
necticut election which occurs next Monday.
We may now confidently anticipate united
New England for impeachment for recon-
struction on an enduring basis and for the
election of Gen. Grant to the Presidency.

NEWS FROM THE ABYssINIAN EXPEDITION.
"A cable dispatch to the New York Herald,
dated Lake Ashangi, March 16, says that the
advance brigade of the British army under
command of Napier arrived at that poiut on
the march towards Magdala, on that date. The
difficulties of the expeditionary undertaking
increase. The country for the most part is
barren and inhospitable, and the roads very
bad and difficult to travel, and the natives
hostile to the British. An Abyssinian chief
who is encamped on the high table land near
to the troops, refuses to give food to the ar
my on any terms. This chief dares Napier to
injure him. He sent message to Napier say
ing that King Theo lorus offers him meet
ing. Another chief who is friendly tells Ma
pier not to believe this assertion of the hostile
one. No forage can be had for cattle. The
people say that the bad chiefs have already
ruined the country and that King Theodorus
despoiles the territory far and wide. Desola-
ton is universal. Napier's headquarters are
six days march from the Fortress Of Magdala.

IMPEACHMENT RUMoRs.- The Worlds
Washington special says:-"We have further
threats of impeachment of Justice Chase from
extreme radicals. One radical Senator yes
terday morning said to an acquaintance, "wait
till we get rid of the President; then look out
for Chase. We will impeach him, sure"
EThe Tribune's special says that from the man
ner in which matters had progressed Wednes-
day it is generally inferred that the trial will
terminate in at least three weeks. 1t seems
apparent from the course of the Presidents
counsel is pursuing that they intend to delay
proceedings in every possible way, but they
can be checkmated in this if they persist by
the Senate holding night sessions. The trial
absorbs public attention and scarcely any
thug of public interest outside has taken
place since it began.

GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAINs lecture on the
Surrender of Lee will not be delivered in
Washington, as we gather from the foil owing
letter to the New York Indepenpent:
distinguished loyal hi TO- who played a
prominent part at the final conquest of the
rebel army, was asked recently to deliver a
lecture, historical, here in this city, on Lees
surrender, in which he was so large an actor,
himself receiving Lees sword. His answer
was quaint and characteristic. "You must let
me off from this labor have not the leisure,
and cannot come. Moreover, all things con-
sidered, I have my doubts whether Lee ever
surrendered. AT all events, it might not be
discreet to make the avermcnt in Washing
ton" He would be regarded as uttering a

ADVENTURES OF A MAINE FARMER.-The
Providence Journal says that Tuesday even
ing, one Charles Smith, a farmer in Maine,
who had been stopping at the Railroad Inn,
Canal street, in that city, was enticed by three
men from the neighborhood of the Aldrich
House up the railroad track towards the North
End. When near the Orms street bridge, the
rascals knocked Smith down senseless, rob-
bed him of $40, and dragged him on to the
railroad track and left him, just before the
time for the ten o'clock train from Boston.
Smith, fortunately recovered consciousness
and crawled on TO the bank before the train
came laundering by, cutting off the poor fell

cade he had had from an awful death to
