THE SCHOOL GIRLs.-The vacations are over
and once more, at morning and MONDAY, Con-
gress street is thronged with troops of happy
looking, cear-eyed, bright-cheeked girls, with
their arms full of books, and their heads-to
judge from appearances-fuller of fun than of
lessons. Everybody is glad to see them back
again. Their fresh faces and gay fluttering
ribbons and curls pleasantly brighten the dull
business aspect of our streets; and he must
be a surly fellow indeed who does not find
something agreeable in the click of their little
boot heels, in their eager chatter as they hurry
along, and in the occasional ripple OF girlish
laughter which defes the proprieties of the
street. Happy creatures! Sumper is gone
and vacation is over, but little do they care; it
is spring With them any way, and all the time.
Gladly we welcome them back again, and
heartily wish them a prosperous school year
and very few hard lessons!

Look Out for Do uble Voting.

TheiRepublican Vigilance Committees and
all lovers of good government and wholesome
laws should be at the polls early on Monday
morning and watch the ballot bon See that
there is no double voting by the Jacobites.
They are desperate, and act on the principle
that "all is fair in politics" A party, too, that
rejoiced at Union defeats in the rebellion, and
mourned with their Southern rebel friends at
Union victories, is not to be trusted Repnb-
hcans, be vigilant, be active, and the right will

Water afer!

We deem it duty to the public to keep this
subject constantly before them and to give our
citizens notice from time to time of the pro-
gress Of the works. Wednesday, the main pipe
was put into the ground to Little river on its
way to Sebago Lake, while towards the city
it has reached nearly to the City line. The
work on the conduit at the lake, is progress
ing very satisfactorily, and Mr.. Halliday, the
contractor, is giving his special attention to it
and assures us it will be done in time to give us
water on the LIST of December. Within the city
the work of laying distributing pipe is pro-
crossing rapidly, Already the pipe has been
laid in Cumberland, Oxford and Lincoln, from
Washin ston to Preble streets, and on some
cross streets. But little hindrance from rocks
has been experienced thus far.
The company will not lay down pipe in
streets where there are not sufficient applicants
for water. 1t behooves all who wish to take
the water, to apply at the Office as early as pos
sible. See the Mayors notice of 9th inst.

"Third Rate Men,

One of the delegates appointed by the Ship
| builders Convention of this State prom
nent Republican, upon his return from Wash
in gton, said he was disguised with Congress
| and that he found the members to be only third
rate men, AS his business chiefly with
the Maine delegation, we presume he referred
more particularly to them. Do the people wish
to remain represented represented, according
to high Republican authority, by third rate
men" and allow their best interests to go to the
dogs? They will have a chauce to decide on
Monday next
A Democratic contemporary publishes the
above. Let us see what the Democracy call
first rate men.
First, we have Charles A. Shaw, of Bidde-
ford, who has distinguished himself by swind
ling the public by the stem cent dodge and by
securing the discharge of one hundred labor
ing men and seven wounded soldiers from the
Kittery Navy Yard.
Then we have DR.. Garcelon and DR.. Ladd
candidates for Congress in the second and
fourth Congressional Districts On what par
ticular part OF the roll of fame are the names
Of these disciples of Esculapius written? How
does their public record compare with that Of
Fessenden, Morrill,, Lynch, Blaine and orr
other Congressman? Who ever heard of DR..
Garcelon and the Penobscot lad outside of their
own cities, before they were nominated for Con-
gress by Democrats?
AS for E. Wilder Farley, of Newcastle, and
Arno Wswell, of Ellsworth, does anyone be-
lleve that when taken from the decent obscure
ty IN which they now happily dwell, they will
make names as well known as those of the
gentlemen with whom they contest the honor
of a seat in Congress?
If we go out of the State we find the Dem-
ocracy attaching itself to such men as valan-
dieham Of Ohio, who came North at the time
OF the anti-draft riots in 1868 with certain of
the Confede ates to excite instruction in
northern cities. Is he "first rate" man, or is
1t Morrisey, the pugilist?
