ScRMMAaE-Two natives of the Stand O.
cakes went into an establishment near the
head of Central wharf yesterday morning,
where they met a temporary exile from Malta,
quietly eating his breakfast. Without any
provocation being given they assaulted the
Maltese, and in the course of the alteration,
blood was drawn from the noses of the Scots,
who finding they were getting the worst of it
beat hasty retreat

THE Democratic State Committee has decid-

Bangor about the Goth of June, the precise
time to be fixed hereafter. Now for cand-
date. Pilisbury has been beaten three times,
and is doubtless satisfied with such honors as
theDemocracy of Maine have to bestow Be-
sides he is too good man to be sent up Salt
River four years in success ion. He is not in
sympathy with his party on strangulation and
is lukewarm on the temperance or rather rum
question, beingin fact teetotaler. Why not
try Smart again? He run very well be-
fore, it is true, but his exploits since his previ
GUS candidacy have endeared him to the Dem
ocratic masses. We give this advice in a spirit
OF pure benevolence and have no doubt it will
be appreciated if not needed.

W. l.. BRADLEY,-
Dear Sr-I have used your Super Phosphate two
years, with very satisfactory results
In 1857. L used one barrel on corn, and 1 am
thirds.
This year used nearly 400 lbs. on one and one
half acres and raised 220 bushels of good merchant
able potatoes, beside eight barrels of smaller ones.
l left two rows without Phosphate in three diner-
ent parts OF the field, and / found not more than
one-third the quantity produced on six rows with
sale.
Your Phosphate also gave me excellent results on
turnips, and all kinds OF garden sauce.

A correspondent of the Lewiston Journal
has recently visited the State Prison at Thorn
aston, and speaks thus of several prisoners
whose crimes have made their names only too
familiar to the people of Maine:
The first prisoner that met my eye on enter.
tering the prison was a venerable and patri-
archal form, moving with solemn tread through
the prison aisles, with the bearing OF SAINT
but the coat of sinner. He was Jack Hale,
the veteran horse thief. He has become an IN
stitution as much as the prison ltseiI, IN whlch
most of his life has been passed. ne belongs
to the prison aristocracy; his dignified mein is
evidence of his conscious superiority. He
moralizes the prisoners, and is the pink of de-
corum. feeling it his duty to chide breaches of
good order in his fellow prisoners. He is over
eighty years of age. His last achievement was
two horses and a communion service--the
communion service was a vagary His prin-
cipIe ordinarily is "steal horses only." The
theft of the communion service is only freak
of genius.
THE BowDoINHAM BANK ROBBERS.
Simms, Bartlett and Mcguire are by no
means the nobby Bowery boys they appeared
when on trial at Bath. Their jaunty, conf
cent ar IS changed. Bartlett is in the paint
shop. Simms and Mcguire are in the carriage
shop. Bartlett is one of the best workmen in
the prison. He has never given the slightest
trouble to the officers. Mcguire is also order
~; Simms is not vicious but mischievous.
Simms' cell contains several pictures, and a
big curl of hair, supposed to be one OF his
wife's ringlets, depends over little mirror by
the side of his cot.
GEORGE KNIGHT.

over twelve years, is less heshy and looks older

ment We noticed that his lips were in con-
| slant motion, evidently indicating that he was
muttering to himself-perhaps querying en- the
strange failure of all his shrewd plans to muir
der his wife and escape suspicion. He is a
brutal, cold blooded man, and if any body de-
serves hanging, he is the man. He is greatly
troubled by this thought-that everybody be-
leves he is guilty, despite his persistent denial

the officers and stockholders of the Water
Company visited Lake Sebago yesterday, and
we learn from them that instead of there being
ten miles more of pipe to lay there remains
only three miles to connect with the conduit
at the lake. This conduit is mile and quar-
ter in length, and it is all built with the ex-
ception of about $500 feet. All the materials
are on the ground ready to DO used as soon as
the frost is out of the ground, which it is
thought will be earlier than usual, as the win
ter has not been one Of severe cold The dredg-
ing machine is also at the lake all ready to
commence operations.
