The Maine Farmer relates how electricity,
steam and brains worked together to pre- ven
i disaster to the bridges at Augusta when
the Waterville bridge was carried away and
a despatch announced the fact. 1t says
Fears were entertained that the frame work
Of the bridge on its passage down the river
would como in contact with the railroad bridge
in this city, the pressure upon which was al
ready SO great from the jams which had ac-
cumulatcd upon its piers, as to cause serious
apprehensions of its stability. A locomotive
was dispatched by Judge Rice, the President
of the road, up the river with crew of men
who were fortunate enough to reach it in sea
son to attach ropes to it and swing it in to the
shore of Vassalboro, where it was secured
About forty feet of the structure being scpar-
ated from the rest, went over the dam about
four o'clock on Tuesday, but was 50 thorough

1t is more than suspected that high officials
at Washington-even the highcst-have been
in the ring by which financial matters were
managed and manipulated until gold sprano
up from 35 to G5 per cent in a day, and i'm
mense fortunes were made to those in the Sc
cret. The papers are full Of charges and affi-
davits sickening for an American citizen to
read. The rogues have got by the ears, and the
truth is coming out One of the most promi-
nent of these spectators is Corbn, Grants
brother-in-law, who holds government Of
flee, and at whose house the President usual
ly stops. The leading spirit is James Fisk, Jr.
who says he once had talk with Grant about
dropping a hint as to the future course of the
administration. The strange movement of
Boutwell,, his determination not to interfere
or to sell gold, and his sudden change fpur-
pose, are full of suspicious taint. AS we said
before, brokers have got by the ears, sued
each other, including Corbin, and the public
is likely to have some very pretty revelations
The New York Herald says it has got proof
to identify the big operator at Washington,
to which it will give publicity at Il proper
time.

TIE LATE STORM IN TIE PROVINCES. The

TIE LATE STORM IN TIE PROVINCES The
storm throughout the British Province was
very great. Nova Scoia-part of ii at least
was made subject to the devastation which
prevailed so generally, but we have no ac-
counts"-of lives lost. New Brunswick suffered
great pecunlary loss. and a sad tragedy oc-
cured in connection with the loss of the bark
Geni and all of the eleven persons on board
The vessel had only been launched three
weeks previously, was owned in st. Andrews
Ind was onher voyage in ballast from that
place to New River to load with deals for Liy-
pool.
The load had been prepared and the ste
vedores were on board, and had disposed
of themselves for the night. The vessel was
mooreQ near the New River Ledge, black
frowning rock just cropping above IN ordin-
ary high water surface. When the blast
drove down upon her she dragged and was
beaten over this and dashed, broadsidc on,
up the ragged and prccipitous cliff. The
wind and the force of the huge wave which
landed her there must have lifted her toward
the land, and when the rocks were barred, as
the waters rushed back, she rolled with one
aWtullurch down again into the sea, break
ing shrouds, stays and masts like straws, and
hurting the men at once into eternity Not
soul could stand near the scene on that night,
and no one living saw the doomed vessel
drift to her tate, but the bottom unchafed and
the top ground away on one side to the tops
Of the floor timbers, rs she worked up and
down the rocks, point clearly to the fact that
with one great effort she was overturned and
the work of destruction accomplished The
bodies of the drowned men were found near
the wreck.

On Clark's Point, in Machiasport, two miles
or so below the steamboat Landing, there ap
pears numberless hieroglyphics, on a bed OF
hard trap rock, on the shore of tide waters
and in highest tides covered by the water.
The extent of this bed as exposed TO the
surface is twenty by forty feet and lies ncarl,
East and West
Mr.. II. r. Taylor, Of Machias, visited tho
Point one day last week and succeeded il
transferring to paper thirty or more of the
plainest of the characters. The space of rock
from which he copied this number of charac
ters was about ten by twelve feet
Animals, of type different from any
known to have existed since the first settle
ment of New England by the English appear
and so of the outlines Of reptiles, birds, trees
and human figures.
| Across this bed of trap rock exists evidence
of the glaciers existing in unmistakable in
IDENTIFY.
People who live in the vicinity Of these fig
ures say that their forefathers spoke Of them
and regarded them as objects of curiosity and
wonder.
The action of the water, and more proba.
| bly, of the ice, is slowly obliterating these
characters, which have every appearance OF
having been cut in the rock with some very
sharp pointed instrument.
Who cut those pictures or figures in that
hard rock? Was the bed of rock the floor OF
some ancient bastile or prison house, where
the prisoner spent his time in writing and
through his tongue Or language leave a his
tory of his woes?
Or did some ancient sailor wrecked on that
wilderness shore while away his hours in trans
ferring to the rock, which might have been
softer then, the animals which came to look
upon him in his solitude?
Or are these figures the characters used in
writing their language by some of the earlier
tribes of the Indians of New England? Who
can tell?
At any rate Mr.. Taylor has now accom-
plished a work that persons have desired
should be done for many years past, and will
we have no doubt receive the thanks of all
who are interested in the early history of this
country and it's earlier inhabitants, their
habits, peculiarties and language,
DR.. N. T. True visited the above Point Fri
day last, and is of the opinion that the char
acters on the rock are the work ofthe Indians
inhabiting this region 235 to 25O years ago.
Hereafter the place will be known as

The storm and freshet of last week was ter
breadth Of the State there are the most dis
tressing accounts Of devastating floods, that
carried away houses and barns, drownedmer
and cattle, swept off mills and destroyed
dams and bridges. All the railroads were
for a time rendered impossible and the com
mon roads left in q terrible condition. There
is no estimating the amount Of damage.

Our city, as well as others, Is not exempt from the
visitations ofnerants known as Boston ''runners"
In fact they have become common and SO trouble
some that business men have long since voted them
bores and would like to have them abated as nus-
ances. We learn several of our leading business
men think of making an agreement not to order
goods through them any longer, hoping thus to be
| rid of the pest. They swarm around hotels and in
steamboats, and other travelling conveyances, much
to the annoyance of the respectable portion of the
| travelling public. The sooner the community is
rid of them the better, for neither the manners
the morals of a place are improved by their pres
ence. Progressive Age.
This is q most unjust and uncaled for at
tack upon class Of men who, to say the least,
are as worthy of public estimation as those of
any other occupation. The fact that a man
travels in pursuit OF his calling is not necess-
arily to his dscredt-and if he travels he is liza
Bile to make one of the swarms that congregate
at the hotels and in conveyances. But, so
long as he behaves himself, he is entitled to
exemption from abuse like the above. If an
individual of this or any other class has mis-
behaved himself or has in some way raised
the ire Of the indiscreet writer Of the forego-
ing paragraph, let him be held accountable
but this attack is foolish, absurd and false to
the last degree.
These young gentlemen are students of the
mercantile profession, who expect to succeed
in time to the places of their present employ
ers. One object of their travels is to become
acquainted with their customers and the re-
gion that they expect in future to supply.
From their ranks must be filled the places of
the cntcrprising and honorable men who do
the immense wholesale business of the great
commercial centres. To say that they are
immoral, bores, nuisances and pests, is to pre-
dict that such will be the characteristics of the
future merchants of the country-a class that
embraces some of the most enlightened lib
eral and benevolent men in the world, and
we sincerely believe will continue to.
Upon the whole. we have rarely seen in
any paper an article of which the editor has
so much reason to be ashamed.
