HISTORY OF CHINA.

In my last, the printer made me say, that
Harlem was incorporated in seventeen hun
bred and seventy-six' 1t should have read
seventeen hundred and nincty-six.
Before the mills and dams were built on the
''Outlet stream" alewves were very abundant
in China Pond. or ''Lake," as more modernly
called, but whose charm would be lost to the
old residents, were it called by any other
name than that of THE Twelve Mile Pond
The first settlers have said that they had seen
the brook at the foot of the Prescott Mill dam,
literally bridged over with alewivcs. Moose
also used to frequent the water at the head of
the Pond, to avoid the flies and to browse
among the lily pads; when under the cover
of the fog, the inhabitants in their canoes
would approach within easy gun shot and
shoot them. Du ring the first few years after
the settlement OF China, moose meat was an
important item of food for the people. In
fact, were it not for moose meat the colony
must have suffered extremely; for corn could
not be had at any time on account of the clos
ing of the ports at the commencement Of the
Revolutionary War; and if by any good for
time peck of corn could be procured, it
would nave TO be pounded in a ''samp NOR
tar" there being no mill nearer than ''Cobbe-
see Cont" (now Gardiner).
Many were the hardships and privations of
the old pioneers, such as the want of mills,
teams, roads, schools, sc. Scholars increas-
ed more rapidly then than now. A bakers

renee; but no schools for educating them.
Many of the older children grew TO manhood

THE RICHMOND CALAMITY.

The Richmond calamity on Wednesday
caused by the breaking down of the crowd
ed flooring in the State Capitol upon an
other collection of persons in the room be-
low, is one we think which has not its
equal among similar occurrences in this
country as to destruction of life. The
case between the rival parties for the
Mayoralty of the city, which had previous
" created riot and bloodshed and called
for the interference Of the authority of the
United States, was under consideration
and about to be decided, and as was natur-
al and unavoidable drew to the court room
tical convention was in session in the room
below, and when the crash came the per-
sons composing the latter meeting were
crushed by the falling flooring and the
mass of persons upon it. Probably the
greater portion of the killed were in the
lower room. That building of the
character of the Capitol should have been
no better constructed than to be liable to
such disaster is surprising. Public
buildings are supposed to have solidity
and strength, and therefore are crowded
without thought of accident; and when, as
in this case, they give way the destruction
is appalling. 1t is probable that the con-
vention below had no suspicion of the
weakness of the edifice, for had it been
otherwise they would not have risked
themselves in such dangerous position
as they occupied, but sought some other
place for their meeting.
Among those killed and injured are
some of the most prominent men in the
State. We regret to see that Hon. Lucius
III. Chandler. formerly resident Of our
own State, and well recollected by his
able service as speaker in the campaign
of 1868, IS among the injured, but we
trust not seriously hurt. We lament this
disaster to the citizens of our sister State
and City, SO severely scourged oy war
and the overthrow of civil government.
The lives that are lost cannot be restored
nor the crippled made whole, but the cup

The G. w. p. recommends that all temper
ance people should vote for men known to be
true to the cause of temperance and that will
carry out these principles when elected
A public meeting was holden at the Method
list meeting house last evening, in which short,
spirited speeches were made by the following

Kimball of Portland; Joshua Nye of Water
vile; Henry Tallman of Bath; Rev. 4. w.
jackson of Gorham; ]. II. Greedy of Au-
gusta; Rev. Mr.. Thompson of Georgetown.
These speakers advocate more earnest efforts
in the cause of temperance, to vote as we
talk, to work to the best advantage we can to
put down this great foe, intemperance.
The Grand Division opened this morning at
8 o'clock, G. w. p. Judge Tallman in the
