We learn from the Belfast Age that on
Thursday Jan. 27th, Atwell, son OF James
Nash of Liberty, Il one armed soldier, had his
leg broken about four inches above the ankle
joint while chopping wood alone in the woods.
His cries brought his neghbor who WAS at
work not far from him, to his assistance, and
lie was removed after much suffering, to the
house, and his leg set by DIR. Thompson, of
Union. On Saturday 29th Mr.. Nash was
surprised by the appearance of fourteen men,
and seven yoke of oxen who entered his woods
without ceremony, and cut and hauled to his
door nine cords of wood; enough as he says
to last until after haying, and although the
snow was falling, making work out of doors
quite uncomfortable, all were in the best of
spirits as people always will be when engaged
in good action.
We learn from the Rockland Free Press that
at the annual meeting of the North Knox Agri-
cultural and Horticultural Society, the follow
ing officers were chosen for the ensuing year ::
Nath1 Afford, Hope, President; VIM. Gleason
Union, Secretary; George Creighton, War
ren, Treasurer; ID. b. Bisbee, Warren, W.
Hawes, Union, Josiah Hobbs, Hope. J. s.
Gushee, Appleton, W. Mcdowell, Washing
ton, Aaron ID. Wiley, Appleton, W. B. Rob
bins, Hope, II. G. McCurdy, Washington,
Vice Presidents; Silas Hawes, Union, James
Creighton, Warren, Trustees.
The Rockland Press is authorized to say
that the story of the Bowdoinham Bank Rob-
beIs attempting to corrupt an officer and thus
effect their escape from prison, and being very
mad because of their failure, so that the War
den felt it necessary to be on his guard lest
they serve him as Spencer did Mr.. Tinker, is
all mistake. The Warden has no knowl-
edge of any such attempt, nor has he ever en-
tertaned any fears that they or any other
convict would assault him.

completion. A correspondent Of the Belfast
Age says that at distance the work presents
a very imposing appearance. The two build
ings each l00x50 feet lying at right angles
with each other, the tall chimney of LOG feet
in height, and the wharf, at which the largest
ships may lay in perfect safety all present a
grand representation of manufacturing inter-
ests.
The Eastport Sentinel says last Saturday
night, Mr.. Elson, photographer, was Sc
verely beaten by three or four men at Penn
broke, with whom he had been drinking, and
at first it was thought he had received fatal
injuries, but it is now thought he will recover.
Elson, is the person who atte mpted the pedes-
trian feats near Eastport last summer, and has
recently been at Pembroke, working at his
business. photography
A special despatch says the iron-clads
Mantonomoh and Terror have been ordered
to return to Boston from Portland. The Ply
mouth has been ordered to proceed to Ports
mouth, where she will be overhauled and re-
paired. Her officers and crew will be trans
ferred. The Benicia has been ordered tc
Portsmouth, to coal, and then will proceed or
her voyage to China. This disposes of the
fleet that received the Monarch, with the re-
mains of the late George Peabody.
The Calais Advertiser says that at the late
term of the s. J. Court Silver and Murphy
the two men bound over for trial by Judge
Downes for robbing Samuel Wood, were SEN
fenced to the State Prison for the term OF fivt
years. Geo. Foley was sent to Prison two
