q THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF Y. M.
G.. AssocIATIoN.-Do our people suitably ap-
preciate the importance of the International
Convention Of the Y. M. g. A., to be held in
our city, commencing the 18th of July?
While this is to be convention of Christian
men, coming together to take council as to how
they may best subserve the interest of true
christianity, its importance to us as cityis
not confined to that feature alone.
1t will be composed of men representing
every position and calling in life, coming to
spend few days in the Forest City, to carry
away with them abiding impressions Of what
it is, and what it is destined to be, when we
shall have completed our contemplated lines of
railroad linking us more fully with the great
West. sHts .sw is fss4 a aA
We have not yet forgotten that a large por-
ton Of our beautiful city was laid in ruins,
neither have we forgotten with what generous
aid and hearty sympathy the people Of NOT
only our own country, but Of the Provinces
responded to our necessitiesj and now we are
to have the privilege, as we probably never
again shall have, of showing to them, not by
words merely, but by our hospitable reception
of their representatives to our city and oul
homes, that we appreciated the sympathy
shown us in the hour of our calamity WI
are glad to say that our worthy Mayor has ex
pressed his islwillipgness todowhat he can il
his official capacity to make it;an occasion o

THE DEATH OF Mr.. RAYMoND.-We have
from private sources several particulars of the
death of Hon. b. J. Raymond, which have not
been given in print. An examination made
after death showed his brain to have been in q
healthy -cnnditioy a,sd svitl NO roarlrs Of rra
vious disease, or tendencies thereto. His
death was owing to the bursting of blood
vessel in the brain. He ate late and hearty
dinner the day before his death, and had eaten
again later in the evening 1t is probable that
there was some congestion of the brain from
indigestion. As he stopped to close the lower
bolt of his door, the strain brought by the sud-
den STOPPING on the surcharged blood vessels
caused the catastrophe. He at once fell in
sensible, and all the medical assistance in the
world, if rendered instantly could not have
saved Burlington Free Press.

ARREST OF THtkF.-Tw0 years ago man
by the name of Calvin Smith confined in the
State Prison at Thomaston for compound lar
ceny-escaped, and was captured on Tharsday
last at his brother house in shapleigh, and.
taken back to Thomaston the next evening by
way of Portland. 1t is supposed that during
the two years Smith has been in Canada, keep.
ing up Communication with his friends. Two
weeks ago Warden Rice requested Sheriff
Wormeli, of Bethel, to capture Smith, if pos
sible. Wormell suspected Smith was secreted
among his friends in Shapleigh Plains,
worthless, desolate country of shrub oaks,
stunted pines, etc-these friends consisting Of
colony of Smiths, all hard characters.
To find out if Smith was in that colony,
Wormell got friend of the Smiths to go with
plenty of liquor and make night of it with
the inhabitants, and through him fonnd that
the rogue was stopping with John Smith, his
brother, familiar name). Next day Wo1mell
invited a gentleman to go fishing passed, with
him, by joan Smiths barn and saw Calvin
helping to shingle it along with others. Calvin
is very powerful and shrewd, and year ago
escaped from twenty-six men, who surrounded
the house and tried to capture him. Wednes-
day night Wormell, with six men, went to the
house of John Smith, searched it, found there
were several ways of egress and ingress, but
no Calvin Smith. Arrested John. John OBJ
jected. No use, the accessory is as bad as the
criminal. Johns wife got frightened. Said
Calvin was in the house day times and slept
in the woods at night. Wormell posted his
men at doors and windows At about 8 A. NJ.
Calvin came from the woods and made for the
house very cautiously. Got inside. Was
seized by one man, knocked the man down
and made for another door; was met by
Wormell; grabbed Wormell by the throat;
was overpowered by the rest of the party,
ironed and brought to Portland, and thence
carried to Thomaston Thus eudeth the his

CONCORD AND ROCHESTER, RAMRoAD.-A
Concord correspondent of the Boston Adver-

scheme before the legislature is the act grant
ing charter to the Concord and Rochester
railroad. This matter is exciting the atten-
ton Of the capitalists Of Portland and other
places along the route, as it is designed to se-
cure by the construction ofthis road a through
route from Portland to the West considerably
shorter than any existing road. The distance
from Portland to Rutland VT, is 1874 miles.
OF this distance 88 miles are already built.
and 43 miles under contract, thus leaving IS
miles to be constructed, viz, 50 miles from
Rochester to Concord, and 18 miles from,
Claremont to Cavendish, vt. The Importance
of the measure, and the deep interest manifest
ed in the project by the public-spirited men of
Portland and our city, would seem to make
the enterprise certainty, and doubtless the
legislature will cheerfully do all in its power
to secure the consummation of the scheme

we have no faith in any stuck-up editorlai IN

an Individual and like an individual will gain
more by frank confession and recession, than
by adhering to a falsehood or to sophism to
