Selling the State of Maine.

There was singular and unfortunate
scene occurred this morning at the State
House. Mrs Jane p. Thurston. OF Port
land, had caused notice Of the sale Of
Maine, its rights, appurtenances, etc, to
be posted up ON the door Of the State
House. and a little before ten o'clock as
cended the Speakers rostrum, and pro-
ceeded in manner worthy of Hen-y
Bailey in his palmiest days, to sell the
State. One Senator bid $4,000, 900,
and another SIT 100000. a Represent
atiye bid $4,000 900, till at last she
made one better and struck it off to her.
self, and took her seat in the Speaker S
chair. As far as this all things went
we'll but the time for the opening of
the session had now arrived, and Mrs.
Thurston was politely requested to come
down from her position, but she declined
to do so, saying she had bought the
State and must stay and keep her present
position The Clerk of the House of
Representatives, presiding, then prompt
ly ordered the messengers to take her out
a ct arms. A scene of great confusion
ensued Mrs. Thurston declared she
would not remove from her place, and es-
pecially that she would not be remov ed
by force. The messengers secured her
and endeavored to remove her. She
made considerable resistance, and said
that she would remove if the officers
would let her alone, but the latter were
again ordered by the Clerk to clear the
desk and procure order, so that the or
sanization of the House might be pro
ceeded with. The members began to be
greatly excited, and the feeling was dc.
cidedlv unpleasant all around. 1t was
indeed sad to see woman in so humil
iatlng position. She grasped the face
of one of the messengers very fercely
and only through the intcrposition of Mr.
! inton, of Gray, and some other gentle
men of Portland, Mrs Thurston was a,
length persuaded to retire to the Secre
tarys room, and the organization was
proceeded with, but the unpleasant feel
ing was so great that the prayer of the
Rev Mr.. Bingham, which was the frs
service of the organization, was hardly
listened to, in spirit at least. BY degree.
the feeling subsidized, bu. before the morn
ing session closed the subject was taker
up at every dinner table in town, and the
matter was universally regretted by al
as very unfortunate circumstance, be
cause the subject of it was a woman, ane
one who is deemed to be demented upor
one subject, though perfectly sane upor
all others. Mrs. Thurston was afterware
invited to go to dinner at the Centra
House by Col. Drew, Secretary of State
who said that Mr.. Harris, the polite Su
perintenaent of the State Buildings
should be kept as keeper of the STATE
property in trust for Mrs. Thurston, oil
