ers upon General Grant.

Superior Court.

JANUARY TERM-eoDDARD, j., PRESIDING.
SATURDAY.-ttw will be remen bered by our readers
that Samuel HILL of Canada, was convicted in the
supreme Judicial Court at the November term, 1867
OF arson. Exceptions were filed, and the opinion
overruing them was received last month. 1t became
the duty of Judge Goddard to pass sentence upon
him. the criminal jurisdiction of the Supreme Court
having been abolished. Mr. Hill is about 81 years OF
age, has well formed head, not unpleasant face,
an strong frame. His appearance on1his occasion
was calm and collected. He acted and looked like
an innocent man, and no one would take him for a
great criminal. Judge Howard, who was one of the
counsel in his case, appeared and made few re-
marks to the Judge in tremulous voice. He re-
marked that he hardly knew what TO say on this &C.
casion. He had thought Of retitioning for new
trial. but his client was entirely destitute of funds
He was willing to make almost any sacrifice in be-
half OF the prisoner. but hardly knew what to do,
and, therefore, sentence must be passed upon him.
Judge Howard firmly believes that Mr.. Hill is en-
arely innocent, and so stated to the Judge and in
nearing OF the large crowd in attendance. ..
before passing sentence upon the prisoner, the
'uuse asked him If he had anything to say. He
afose anu said In calm voice Your Honor, with
your leave will say a word. L am an innocent man
perore this honorable Court and before God These
Few words sank deep into the hearts of all present.
Judge Goddard then pronounced sentence rroe,o-
Ing 1t with some remarks, which we give below.
Samuel Hill The Attorney Tor the State fDr this
county has moved that sentence be now pronounced
az inst you. FtR-
Upon your plea that you were not guilty of the Of

nine (more or less) State exchanges that
have attacked the Press because it fought the
good fight for the integrity of the Republican
party in the Senatorial contest now so happily

subscription lists, and their ability to reason is
more limited than either. We would gladly
let the past go, and enter upon new themes of
public interest, and mean to do so; but if any,
body expects to see the Press assume an apol-
getic tone for having strenuously commended
that men are bound by their pledges, that
good faith is not out of place in political con-
troverses, that the unity of the Republican
party ought to be preserved by cheerful ac-

THE PRESENT.

THE PRESENT, l.r
being the commencement
OF the middle of the coal consuming sea-
son, renders it particularly applicable for the
undersigned to inform the public that his
STOCK OF COAL, although greatly depict
ed, is yet sufficiently EXTENDED both in quantity
and kind to meet the requirements of a very
large trade, TIE PEOPLE, lever anxious in
getting the largest amount for the least money!
will realize the advantages gained in procuring
their supplies from the undersigned, as the
scale of prices are fixed AT THE LOWEST,
VERY LOWEST MARKET RATES yield

ity of an objection or word of fault. As re-
CARDS the quality of the coal it can be simply
stated that the glowing accounts received from
day to day, attesting the satisfaction arcruing
from its consumption, the manifested desire to
repurchase, thus creating demand mutually
gratifying, and apparently justifying the state
ment that BETTER STOCK OF COAL

SPECIAL NOTICES.

AN ELEGANT TURNoUT.-We saw at the
factory OF Mr. G. P. Kimball, YESTERDAY, the
most elegant single sleigh il was ever our good
rtune to examine. We think it even excels
in beauty the famous sleigh Mr.. K. exhibited
at the state Fair. 1t is Mr.. KS patent cor
rugated pattern, painted imperial green top
and dasber, running work fire white richly
striped with gold and carmine, trimmed with
brown silk velvet. and Is rich and elegant in
the extleme. This sleigh was built by Mr.. K
expressly tor DR.. O. Fitzgerald, OF Dexter, Me.
TheDoctor is well known in all tie caste rn
part OF Maine as one of the best looking men
in the State, and we feel very sure he will
have by all odds, the finest turf out in the
Pine Tree State.-Portiand Press, Jan. 6.
To this beautiful sleigh that cost four hun
bred dollars, the Doctor has hitched one of
the most splendid horses in the country, with
gold mounted harness to match, making the
team cost in round numbers nearly two
thousand dollars. But the Doctors wonderful
success fully warrants the outlay. He is one
of the most skillful men in the country, and
is daily performing miraculous cures of the
most terrible diseases that no man can ac-
count for. All afflicted will do well to consult
him at Merchants Exchange, Dexter, Maine.

BILE accident occurred at Perry, by the burning
of logging camp, in which the only occupant
Albert R. johnson, of Perry, was burned to
DEATH The camp was about two miles from
