ARoosTooK COUNTY. IT,
The Times says that the store occupied by
D. Phalon, at the mouth of Aroostook river,
New Brunswick, was destroyed by fire on the
night of February 28th. Nothing was saved,
not even the account books and papers. Two
persons sleeping in the chamber over the store
barely escaped with their lives. Phalon's loss
is about $4,000 in gold. There was no insur-
ance.
OXFORD COUNTY.
A correspondent of the Star states that three
prisoners broke Jail at Paris, Sunday night
and escaped. 1t is reported that they succeed
en- in unlocking the door OF their cells by
means of wire taken from the stove, and they
then burned the outer door enough TO allow
them to crawl under it. One prisoner is still
left. He was offered jail delivery, but refused,
and after the others had got well away he
gave the alarm. The names of the escaped
prisoners are Asbury aCoolbroth, charged with
and an Indian named Michael Lewis both
charged with larceny. They were all bound
over to the March Term of the Supreme
Court, which sits Tomorrow, and failed to get
bonds. The officers are in pursuit of them.

An Eastport correspondent writes that on
Tuesday, the Sd inst, as two men were cross
ing from Eastport to Campobello in a small
boat, they got entangled in the floating ice, and
despite all their exertions they were carried on
by the current out of the river and out into the
Bay of Fundy. After spending part of the
night in their boat they got on an uninhabited
island where they spent the remainder of the
night and the next day, without food or fire
The next evening, the ice clearing away, en-
abled them to return home to their friends
who were almost distracted, thinking them
frozen or drowned.

The Portland daily press., 1868-03-10

The leading Democratic paper in the
country always heads its report of Congress
ional proceedings "The Rump." 1t means that
Congress is not legitimate legislative body.
Like President johnson it regards the present
House and Senate as bodies Hanging on the
verge OF the government" and assuming" to
be, the Congress of the United States. Rep
resentatiyes Woodward of Pennsylvania,
Brooks of New York and nearly all their as
sociates hold the same views. This being the
case, Messrs. Woodward, Brooks & Co, will Of
course decline drawing their cool five thou
sand dollars per annum. They will take no
share of the penknife and corkscrew perquis-
ties. If they are members of an illegal body
they cannot be entitled to compensation Mr..
johnson, too, is bound to decline pay Tor SER
vices rendered in defiance of the constitution.
If the States represented in congress are ln-
capable of electing legislature they are
eouallv incanable of electing President and
Vice : resident; and only these States chose
the electoral college that gave Mr.. johnson his
nresent position. The Radical Senators and
Representatives hold that they do constitute
the Congress of the United States, and there
is some excuse for their claiming compensa-
ton; but for members of the opposing party
no excuse can be imagined. There are sixty
OF the latter party in both branches of Con-
gress, and their views, if they have common
honesty, will be worth just 100000 to the
Treasury of the United S tates, to say nothing
of the indefinite sum saved by their waiver of
mileage and the exercise of the franking priv
ilege.
ELEcTIoNEERING.-Iti is as surprising as it is
sad to see Irish Americans, warmly interested
in the cause of liberty at home, acting here
with the arstocratic party which supported
the system of slavery while it lasted and row
desires to restrain the laborers of the South
from exercising political rights. Their alli-
apce should be naturally with the Republican
party. The talk about the sympathy of the
Republican party with the Irish cause being
merely an electioneering trick is ridiculous
enough. The Republican party is the only
Liberal party in America. Here is what the
Irish Republic says on this point:
AS to the cry about "eiectioneering" we have
only to say that, up till very lately, the Demo-
cratic party had too much contempt for "the
Irish vote" to go half an inch out of their way
to secure it. Kicks were the only things "the
mere Irish" received from their loving lords.
Hence, when any Irishman's name would hap
pen to get on to the ticket, for some paltry Of
flee, the remark, followed by corresponding
lction, invariably was, Scratch him off. We
ire sure of them any way" So that it proves
hat the Irishmen of America are beginning
to rise in value, when any great party in the
country will, for any acknowledgements or
otherwise take the trouble of concedipg even
moiety of their just demands.

CoAL.-The price of GOAL has gone up enor-
mously in Boston, in consequence of small
stocks and high rates of freight. Last week
the. dealers in that city put up the price to $40
per ton, and yesterday, as we are informed,
they were asking $12 per ton for anthracite
delivered.
Our dealers here are not over supplied, and
the stocks have been largely drawn upon by
neighboring cities where the supply is short.
Nevertheless, they have not advanced the price
but continue to sell at So so per ton delivered.
We mention this fact as, heretofore, when coal
has been a little loaoer in Boston than here it
has ALWAYS been announced

DEATH OF DIR LINcoLN.-The venerable
Isaac Lincoln, NJ. D., of Brunswick, died on
Friday morning last. He was probably the
oldest physician in the State. DIR. Lincoln
was native of Massachusetts,, of Cohasset,
we believe, and graduated at Harvard College
in 1900. He was the last surviving member of
the class of which Washington Alston, DIR
Lowell and Chief Justice Shaw were mem
bers. He has been a successful practitioner in
Brunswick for more than halls century, al
though retired from active business for sever
al years past. He has long been an influential
leader of the Congregational Church, mem
Der Of the College Corporation, and a prom
inent citizen. man of high character and of
sterling integrity, but remarkably firm and
decided in his opinions-genial always and
cheerful to the last day of his life. He leaves
two children,-a married daughter who resides
in England, and son, John D. Lincoln, NJ D.
who succeeds to his fathers professional BUSH
ness, and already has a wide reputtaon as a
physician.

The opposition Of the Democratic press to
impeachment is factious and puerile. The
Boston Post gets through with long para
graph OF clamorous whining because the Sen
ate has allowed the President less than week
to prepare for his trial. The fact is that they
have allowed him nearly week in which to
make his appearance in the Senate or send an
attorney to represent him, and time to pre-
pare his defence is to he allowed him after he
appears.

PEPrTA-The very genius of comedy pre-
sided over the conception, the writing, and the
acting of the tragic opera Pepita. aid the god
dess of mirth all the while stood holding her
sides, convulsed with laughter. Perhaps we
are extravagant, but so is the operatta. Hera-
clitus himself, that lugubrious old knave,
would for the nonce have left off weeping
and treated himself to the novelty of laughter
had he been at City Hall last evening, and
Democritus would have excelled all his previ-
Gus performances in his own particular line.
As clever travesty of the heroics of the op-
cratic stage, from the villanous plotting in the
first act to the grand finale where Dolores
does the poetic justice" part by stabbing
herself, PeLita must be acknowledged a COM
plete success. We shall make no invidious
comparison of the merits OF the respective
performers. To go into detail would only re-
suit in enumerating all the dramatis persona
with unstinted praise for each. We can only
refer to the comb-ical effect of stridulous mu-
steal instruments in the erchestra-the horrors
of the sword combats in the fourth act, and
the indiscriminate slaughter attending them
the song as the boat stoept along the stage to-
ward the Gipsey camp-the appropriate and
picturesque costumes-the fine scenery-the
delight of the audience-the applause and the
repeated encores. If any one who loves limo

last evening, to him the fates are indeed I'M
