Mr.. Fo*ter, how old you are we know not.
but we understand you are old enough to hare
ahistory. We hold you responsible for what
you say in your paper end not your associates,
and after noticing your paper for five weeks
past we ask you to treat us as a gentleman
Maine Democrat.
, slow old you are we know not" That is no
great consequence if you do not. We have no
special claim to great antiquity, but are un-
questionab1y "old enough to have history
and quite too old to be caught in the commits
sion of such youthful indiscretions as tend to
impede locomotion or promote public scan
dial.
"We hold you responsible for what you say
in your paper" Very well, that is your rivi-
lege, and here we are! ready for coffee or pis-
tolls, as You choose. although we much prefer
the former; first, because it is more in accord
ance with our taste; and second, because we
have too much regard for the old Democratic
party to desire to dispatch "all that is left of it
in Maine" at a single flash. In fact, since the
terrible drubbing which it received on the Sd
inst, it has really excited our deepest sympa-
thy.
I'VE ask you to treat us as gentleman"
Certainly, behave yourself like one and we
will

UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT A few days ago,
while Mr.. j. F. Whitney, of Brunswick, and
neighbor of his were chopping down tree the
axe of the latter came off the handle and
struck Mr.. Whitney on the calf of the leg,
splitting one of the bones badly, so that
large piece of it came out. Mr. Whitney en-
deavored to hobble home, and in so doing fell
and broke the other bone in his leg, so that it
is doubtful if the leg can be saved. His case
is an unfortunate one, as he is not blessed
with a competency of this worlds goods. A
subscription was taken up for him in Bruins
wick, to which something was added in this

PROMPT PAYMENT OF LossEs.-There are
many persons who neglect to get their property
and lite insured for the reason, as they allege,
that it is mere trouble to get their pay lin
case of a loSs) than it is all worth. That this
may have been true in times past. with those
who get insured with some Mutual Company,
and will be true to some extent in time to
come with such as now insure with what are
called cheap Insurance Companies, of which
there are many now to be found, we will not
deny; but that it is not so with all or even
many, we had abundance evidence in the
case of the great fire in this city, and it always
gives us pleasure to record instances such as
that referred to in the following note, when
poor man suffers loss aud gets his pay
promptly in the day OF his calamity. This,
however, being only one of many similar cases
at the old and well known agency of Messrs
Little q Co., who for so many years have sus-
tanned the reputation of paying a II their losses
promptly and satisfactorily, avoiding litigation
and delay, as far as possible, except in cases of
fraud, having as we understand paid nearly
$4,000 within a few days on life and fire losses
which have recently occurred in this city and
vicinity. We cannot but commend this agency
to the patronage of those who want reliable
companies and prompt payment. See adver-
tisement in our columns.

MIR. EDIToR:-Several of your ,rrespond-
ents, very old and respectable, no doubt, seem
to be wonderfully exercised as to the origin of
our Plantation Bitters. So long as these Bit
tiers are all that we represent them to be, we
do not know that it makes any difference
from whom they come, or from whence they
originated; but for the information of the
public generally, and old Capt. Wetz in par
ticular, we will say that he told the truth, and
that these Filters originated in the West India
Islanis-that many of the ingredients have
been favorably used for over a century, but
that our combination Of Calisaya is entirely
new, and our own. The rum and other mate
rails are the same, and as your correspondent
says, better Bitters and Tonic is not made.
We recommend them particularly for yspep-
tics, fever and ague, debility, loss of appetite,

The Age says in repanting the spire of the
Methodist church, in Belfast, Mr.. Hartwell
Baker, one of the painters, performed one OF
the most daring feats of climbing, ever wit
messed. The top of the spire is 100 feet from
the ground, terminating in a crown or cap 16
inches in diameter Mr.. Baker went up
on the inside to within about 80 feet of the top
where he bored hole out through and sus-
pended rope He then climbed the rope, and
with the aid ofspurs, similar to those used in
climbing telegraph poles, he accomplished the
remainder of the distance. When part way
up, the spurs slipped. and he slid back several
feet and but for a remarkable presence of
mind he must have fallen and been dashed to
pieces on the ground. He succeeded in
climbing to the top where he affixed the rope,
to which movable stage was attached. He
then climbed to the top aud stood erect on
the cap holding his brush over his head, and in
this situation photograph view was taken by
Mr.. Tutte, photographer. 1t was one of the
most thrilling sights ever beheld.
