AN ELECTION INCIDENT.-The Skowhegan
Reporter tells of young man from that place,
named Whiting, who, hardly of age then,
went to Florida last spring to view the land
AS he had been brought up in the Democratic
party, naturally he was of that way of think
ing. But the rampant Rebel spirit of the
South opened his eyes to the true state of af-
fairs, and, and in consequence he became a
Radical. Coming into town on the freight
train Monday, he hurried to deposit his first
vote before going to see his friends His Dem
ocratc friends were rejoiced to see him, but
imagine their feelings when he refused their
oal'ots and voted for Chamberlain with the re-
mark, Il can't go that stripe" Stepping
back he met his father who voted the other
ticket The old gentleman appeared not a lit
tie proud of so fine looking a Radical for n son
The crowd appreciated the meeting and broke
out in cheers for the young man. Young
Whiting says Neither nor any other North
ern man can live in Florida if Grant is not
elected"

AT the meeting of the Warren Baptist AS
ISOLATION in Providence, last week, the cues
ton of excluding the Second Baptist Church
in Newport because of their open communion
views was brought up. Some of the most
prominent men III the Association ana IN the
denomination opposed such action. Dr. Cas-
well, President Of Brown University, and
DR.. Caldwell of Providence, both asserted that
there was no thus saith the Lord" fl close
communion. The question was finally refer
red to a committee, the composition of which
is regarded as an assurance that federation on
the communion question will henceforth be-
come the established policy OF the Baptist De-
nomination.

DIsappDsutetl deed I.

The Boston Post says the Republicans Of
Maine are disappointed" in the election re-
turns! If the laugh comes in particularly in
any place, since Monday last this is it. Dis
appointed with majority ranging from 10000
$4,000! "They have fallen short of their mark, ,
says this exultant sheet, Shy 5000 votes!'' Who
told you this? Did anybody claim as the re-
suit, 28,OO0to 10000 majority? No SIR This
is ruse of yours to dispel the chagrin which
has touched your vItals. The Republicans of
Maine have done all they contemplated, and
to the more cautious, more than was expected.
They are now up and dressed for November
If the Post f1atters itself there is disappoint-
ment in our ranks, he is mistaken. Let him
look out for November. About the time Mas
sachusetts is rolling up her magnificent major
ty for Grant, to the tune of 10000 to 10000,
Maine will be doing small business in that
line, by giving her 10000. If the party keeps
to its well-trained organization, it may do even
better than that. But there must be no relax
alton from duty till the going down of the sun
on the Sd of November. Nothing will be eff
fected if supineness rules the hour. "Wide-
awake" is the watchword till Grant is elected
Pile up the majorities!

TEE ELECTION:
BetteI. and Better.

Returns have now been received from $50
cities, towns and plantations embracing ali the
State incorporated for election purposes. with
the exception of about'one hundred small pla-
ces, which will not swell the majority very ma
terially. These returns are mostly official, and
show that in the $50 towns there has been cast
a total vote of 121 200, Governor Chamberlain
having majority of 81 PA over Mr.. Pillsbury.
This majority is above the estimate of the State
Republican Committee, owing to the uoexpec
tedly large increase of the Republican vote in
the smaller towns. The remaining towns may
bring the total vote up to 127 900, and 81 5e
a Republican majority of between $4,000 and

THE FIRST FROST. Last Thursday night we
had quite a severe "whte frost" in this vicinity.
We trust a good portion of the corn was too
far advanced to be much injured, aud yet we
fear many fields have. suffered. Late planted
potatoes and some kinds of beans must have
been much injured, and we may reasonably ex-
pect that an advance on the price of tomatoes
will be Immediately made. In this city the
frost was light, and so light, that squash vines
ane flowers escaped with very light scorch-
ing. if any. We hope the damage is not so
great as some of oar farmers feared it was.
Sweet corn intended for canniuu must he con-
slderapiy injured. The ground early in the
morning was quite white, and looked very
winterish. We hope now for long spell of
