A writer who has experienced the
Joy Of stopping at a fashionable hotel,
gives. an account of his skirmish with
the walters. for a breakfast: tnrgr

nearly read, when our waiter AFas. seen
waiting an another party a few tables

another direction from ours. The
head waiter was calied, and asked
were we to have any breakfast He
supposed we were. But as he at
once took up his old stand at the door,
was evidently not quite sure about it
Another waiter was summoned. L
picked him. out because he had a sort
of forlorn look, and l thought he
would ike to be befriended. Our
order was again given. The paper
was finished; at last he came with

fellow had no idea Of standing it; for
shortly after, without having brought
the coffee, he was seen waiting on a

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT BUcKF1ELD.-
The Star of last evening gives the following
particulars of the sad affair that occurred in
Buckfield last Saturday evening, of which we
had slight Geographic dispatch in yester-
days Press.
Mr.. Michael Brigham, half brother of old
DR.. Brigham, who has lately lived in the old
homestead of the Doctor, had violent quar-
rel with Thomas s. BRIGHAM, grandson OF the
Doctor, who also lives in the same house, on
Saturday evening, about o'clock, which re-
suited in the death of the old gentleman by a
pistol shot fred by the young man. A-N
The facts are as follows: The young man,
who had just returned from Portland, found
that the ladies of the household, and especially
his wife, had been abused by the old man ac-
cording to complaints made to him. On being
accused of the matter he became very furious
and attacked Thomas with a chair, following
him across the room and striking him several
times with it, Finally the young man backed
into bedroom where he bethought himself of
pistol by which he says he hoped to frighten
his assailant away. He got the pistol and
warned the old man to keep away, but tho at
tack was still kept up.
Twice or three times the pistol was knocked
ont of he L--1, Dut at last it was picked up
and discharged, the shot taking effect in the
body of the old man, above the hip, and in
ficting a wound from which he died in about
thirty minutes. Thomas says that he finally
concluded to fire the pistol for the purpose of
wounding his assaiant in the hand or arm, if
at all, and had no thought of anything serious
from it, it being his only thought, at first, to
frighten the old man away, as he saw that he
was in danger of his life if something was not
done. -
A coroner's inquest was at once begun but
we have not learned the result. The deceased
man was about seventy years old and had
been considered partially insane at tines
There is much excitement in the town con-
corning the affair, and it is difficult to Judge
impartially until the facts are all out The
young man is we'll known and stands well in
the community, and we judge that few per-
sons attribute any criminal purpose to him.

The q, r. Ki,nbalI Companz.

stock company has been formed in this
city-called The G. P. Kimball Company-for
the purpose of manufacturing jump seat car
riages and sleighs of all descriptions. They
have erected, for the carrying on of this bust
ness, two large wooden buildings on the corner
of Prehle and Oxford streets. These buildings
are two and half stories high, 70 feet long
and 80 feet wide, and are connected at one end
by building of the same height, and which is
80 feet square. The first floor of the building
nearest Preble street is divided into three
rooms. The largest one in front is used as q
repository, and back of this is large room
used for the storing of iron. One corner of the
front is divided off and used for an Office Over
these are the finishing rooms, where the var
nishing and trimming is done. Off the iron
room down stairs is the blacksmiths shop with
four FORCES. The whole first floor of the second
building is used for the wood work. In this
room there are eight benches, all having excel
lent light. Over this is the paint shop, equal
ly well lighted. The attics and Easements are
used for storing. Everything about the estab-
lishment is convenient, and the whole is very
carefully and well planned for this business.
This company commences business by giving
employment to about forty hands, all under
the foremanship of Mr.. F. H. Randall, who has
had great deal of experience in this line Of
business. They have capital of $4,000, and
this is the only company in the United States
that manufacture jump seat vehicles, the in
terests of all other companies having been
bought by this. 1t has shown great enterprise
in this undertaking, and we hope our State
will be up to the other New England States in
giving the patron age which the energetic men
connected with it so richly merit. M
John M. Gould is the Secretary and Treas
urer OF this company, and he is a man well
fitted for the position. ff

IT is now little more than two years since
Messrs True & Knight bought out the Even
lug Courier and commenced the publication Of
the Star. During that time the Star has grown
in dimensions and character from bulletin to
a newspaper, and an exceedingly alert, wide
awake newspaper, which cannot be beaten
without getting up at an uncommon'y early
hour. We regret to learn that Mr.. True, after
considerable deliberation, has decided to re-
main permanently at Augusta, and as a conse-
quence, to withdraw from the Star. He was
in many ways peculiarly fitted for his profess
sion, and his withdrawal will be loss to jour
naiism. The Star is left in Mr.. Knights hands,
and Mr.. Knight, we need not say is alone ga
whole team," while his assistant, Mr.. Merrill,
if he is "a big dog under the wHgon," is of the
Esquimax breed, and abundantly capable of
drawing the whole load if necessary. Captain
Knight, when the war ended, deliberately Sc
lected journalism as profession, and proving
his faith in the potency of printers ink by his
works, advertised for employment on a news
paper. In the work which he thus sought he
has proved himself no prentice hand, and has
fairly won the position he holds.
CELEBRATIoN.-This evening the celebration
of the Emancipation Proclamation takes place,
at City Hall. Hon. Benz. Kingsbury, Jr., will
preside, and an address will be delivered by E.
G. Walker, Esq, colored lawyer of Boston,
who was last year one of the representatives of
the city of Boston. Shaw's Quartette will fur
'nish some splendid music, and the whole pro-
ceedings will be interesting. After the SER
vices are over, refreshments of various kinds
will be offered for sale. 1t is to be hoped our
citizens will turn out and fill the hall. The
price of tickets is to be placed at the low sum
OF twenty-five cents.

Political Notes

AWashington dispatch ssys that the Stew
art Grant movement in New York does not
suit the Republicans there, and some of the
Generals friends asserts that he has little
sympathy with it. He is not ashamed OF Re-
publican principles, and knows well enough
that any man who tries to gain the support of
both parties, will iail.
The public debt statement for this month
and the end of the calendar year, will not be
ready until near the middle of next week. 1t
will show a considerable reduction of the
debt There will not be any contraction of the
currency.
The New York Herald OF yesterday had an
other sensational and utterly untrustworthy
dispatch from Richmond, saying that accounts
from all parts OF Virginia except the Shenan-
doah Valley show a reign of terror owing to
incendiarism of blacks. No particular cases
are given.
The Oregon case invo,v ing the constitutions
atty OF the legal tender notps came up in the
United States Supreme Court Tuesday. Sem
ator Reverdy johnson delivered an able and
exhaustive argument for the defendants. who
claim their right to pay taxes in legal tender
notes, in the face of the law of Oregon reouir-
ing payment in coin, and who maintain that n
State cannot pass an act multiplying a United
States statute.
General Mcdowell is not expected to take
command much before the LIST of FEBRUARY in
the 4th military district. He has been sum.
moned from the Pacific side by telegraph.
The New York Tribune says, in behalf Of
the friends of Mr.. Chase that they intend tc
support whoever may be nominated for the
Presidency by the Republican Convention tc
be held in Chicago on the Goth of May next
ensuing We trust Mr.. Chase may receive
that nomination; but,whether he does or not
the candidate will be heartily supported by
him, as well as his friends. There need be nc
concern on that score"

Judge Morrell, and Judge Bell have been ex.
PEELED from the Loyal League of Austin.

FROM ABYssINIA it is reported that King
Theodore ON ascertainiDg the extent and pow
er of the measures taken by the British gov
eminent to effect the liberation of the English
captives voluntarily released them himself
This astonishing news will be received with
considerable incredulity by those who have
kept themselves informed respecting the COM
plcations between England and Abyssinia.-
But if the news proves true, it will give Lord
Derby and the other members of the British
Cabinet lighter hearts than they have had for
many day. for this Abyssinan war, if it had
CHANGED TO be protracted and disas trous,
would have cost them their places. The two
millions of pounds voted for its prosecution at
the extra session of Parliament in November
would have been but fling part of the ex-
pense if Theodore had proved contumacious,
and the modern English feeling is strongly
antagonistic to wars that involve heavy ex-
pense. 1t had already begun to be suggested
that the ministry that had passed safely
through the reform crisis might be compelled
to resign on account of complications growing
out of carrying the war into Africa" But
now, as the report goes, before any disaster
has happened, and before Napier has fairly got
away from Bombay ON his way to take COM
mand of the invading forces, Theodore yields
and relieves ministry and people from further
