it was not sufficiently central, although from
a communication in the Mirror, from Hon.
Joseph Titcomb of Kennebunk, it ap
pears that on several ballots he gave this local
1ty his vote, although, he says, on some ac-
connts he preferred Yarmouth, and gave his
first vote for that locality. The Alumni OF
Bowdoin College, where ever located, take
deep interest in this question and feel anxious
that an Institution, worthy of the State and
college may be endowed and put in good rum
ming order, and they regret that any disturb
ing elements should occasion delay. We feel
| that either Gorham or Yarmouth occupy elig-
| iblc geographical positions.
The education al interests of the State point
| to the Institutions located in these villages
with historic pride. The several professions
| throughout the State, and in distant States
enroll honored names who were taught a
preparatory course for college at these insti-
tutions. Among the number, who have full
filled their mission, and LETT behind world
wide reputation, we might mention from the
| alumni of Gorham academy .alone the names
| of Sergeant S. Prentiss, John A. Andrew and
| William p Fessenden. Such localities and
Institutions should not. be forgotten, and it
appears to us, that any accessible locality,
combining all the desirable essentials for an
Institution of high order for educating both
sexes, can never be so far from the centre, as
to be dropped out, so long as it is surrounded
by dense population extending either way
for hundreds of miles. And, as all kinds Of
business and interests naturally gravitate
westerly, a western town would seem to have
superior advantages.
A NEW NAVIGATION BILL.-In the House
on Tuesday Mr.. Lynch of Maine introduced
with several amendments, the shipping re-
| vival bill, which was referred to the specia
| committee on navigation interest. At the
closing of last session, on motion of Genera
Schenck, it was referred to the regular com
mittee on commerce. The general said tina
the special committee were agreed that i
should take that course. That committee
however, through its chairman, expresses
| desire for conference with the ways and
means and conference committees in order tc
| determine upon an acceptable policy. Mr.
| Lynch's amendments restrict the drawbacks
or rebate to be allowed on imported materials
to vessels built for and used in the foreign
trade alone, while the equivalent duty asked
on American materials is restricted to vessels
of 1000 tons and upward. If such vessels
are used in the coastwise trade for more than
three months in a year, owners are to repay
the amount of drawback or bounty allowed
1t is understood thas this bill is satisfactory
to every person who opposed the special com.
mitee's original bill, and it is expected the
committee on commerce will report back al
an early day.

MAINE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. = The
Maine Board of Agriculture will hold pub
lie session at Pennington on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, the 4th, 9th and 9th of
January. Franklin county is the great dairy
region of the State, and in Difference to that
interest the discussions of the board will be
directed mainly toward that and kindred en-
terprises, such as consideration of the best
breeds Tor dairying, the care of mich cows, the
Value OF associations for the production of but
ter and cheese, the construction of factory
buildings, the requisites for success. and the
best methods of conducting business. Lectures
will be delivered by emnently practical men
and the discussions will undoubtedly be con-
ducteo by some of our most intelligent farmers
and stock-raisers. A gathering like the one
proposed will be of great advantage to the far
mers OF Maine, and the attendance should be
large. AS an inducement to the people to
oohe' arrangements have been made with the
'aiifoaa companies for reduction of fares.

IT is standing belief of the French that
every General of theirs who is beaten is trai.
tor. Napoleon, Bazaine, Lebnuf, Canrobert
and the rest are traitors or they never would
have suffered defeat. Cambrel also is trail
tor or he would have permitted the Garibaldi-
ans to ride rough shod over him. The last
traitor is De Paladines, even he who was the
idol of last week. We place him in the list
because the French already talk of having him
court-martialled. All idea that the Germans
are mainly responsible tor the defeat of their
armies is secuted by the people. 1t is impossi-
BILE. And so the poor generals get the blame.
RAID UPON CARRIAGES OF WEALTHY CITI-

ty for the prevention of cruelty to animals
made raid yesterday on the carriages of the
ost aristocrdtic citizens on Broadw way and in
Central Park, and captured large number of
articles made of leather and steel needles
which are attached to the bride bit. Among
the many carriages stopped in the street was
that of ex Gov. Morton, who thanked Berg
for his discovery and discharged his coachman.
The owners of the carriages, without excep-
ton, knew nothing of the needle pad. The
drivers were tax IN to the police station-N

The New Orleans newspapers announce the
discovery and release of au cd, blind gentle
man, Mr.. Eslava, who for thirty months has
been kept under lock and key, in his own
house, upon the pretense of his lunacy. His
intellectual alteration was quite evident to his
kinsfolk who shut him up, for did he not, in
the most preposterous way, absolutely refuse
to make will in their favor?-they being the
children of his second wife, with great appe-
tite for his real estate in Mobile. Watching
his chance, the prisoner broke Jail, and fled for
safety and succor to police station, where a
little questioning showed him as entirely in
his right mind as person SO maltreated could
De. His responses were prompt and distinct,
and his memory not at all at fault He was
given in charge of friend, who will probably
care for him

The isolation of Havre from the rest of
France is doubtless caused by the occupation
of Rouen by General Manteuffers army and
by the presence of the Germans in the depart
ment of Eure, ON the southern side of the
Seine 1t is scarcely probable that an attempt
will be made to capture Havre. The city is
situated at the end of peninsula, bounded by
the ocean on one side and the estuary of the
Seine on the other. Besides its Notifications,
Havre is defended, or can be, by the French
fleet, whose fire can easily sweep all the ap-
nrOaches to the CITY.
