more suspicious than ever before at this

A DESPERATE OUTRAGE.-A desperate
outrage was committed at Boothbav,
Maine, between II and 10 o'clock. Mon
day night. About one hundred Cape
Cod and Cape Ann fishermen, from a
mackerel fleet of some $50 sail living in
the harbor, went ashore and proceeded in
Il crowd to the house of a widow Sargent
and daughter, and on being denied adj
mittance stove in the door. On their
entrance, nephew of Mrs. Sargent, who
was in the house at the time, fred on the
party of fishermen, wounding several of
them. They, however, continued their
assault, beating the inmates, especially
the women, in most shocking manner,
and ended by tearing up the floor, nail
ing up the windows to prevent the citi-
zens from seeing the flames when kindled,
and then setting fire to the house from
the inside, barely giving time for the oc-
cupants to escape. The rioters then pro-
ceeded to their vessels, after stealing
nearly every boat in the harbor to reach
the beet, and then turning them adrift
without regard to their recovery, and at
daybreak put to sea. No arrests have
been made, and it will be a difficult if
not impossible, task to identify the vii.
lains. The nephew proves to have been
very seriously injured, and it is feared
that he will not recover.

AGooD INvEsTMENT.-The Free Press
says in 1868, man in Essex, N. Y, de-
posted $3.50 in the Saviuge bank in that
city, and has made no other deposit since
that time. July 1st, 1870, he had stand
ing to his credit on the books of the
bank few cents over $444 and this de-
sirabls result was accomplished with no
further trouble to the depositor than the
simple matter of presenting his bank book
twice each year to be credited with the
semi-annual interest. Wisely enough,

REcEIvED.-Through the courtesy of

pages and copies are to be distributed, we
suppose, to every church in the State.
Beside the statistics of the churches it

MINORITY REPRESENTATIVE Penn

GRITTY representation, or, as its friends
would like to have it called, totality rep
resentation. A convention of county
delegates met at Reading on Wednesday,
alton of this principle into the constitution
and elected considerable interest Ex-
Senator Buckalew was among the speak
ers and stated the benefit of the reform
under four heads,-the reduction in the
expense and corruption in the elections,
the full representation of the people. the
diminuition of the number of candidates
who would be beaten, and the wrestling of
the "balance of power" from the lowest
class of voters. Some of these arguments
are more ingenious than sound, especially
the third one, regarding the extermin-
alton of soreheads. The convention was
enthusiastic and harmonious, though
some of the delegates could hardly re-
strain themselves from The luxury of a
good elbow out" upon the iniquities of
the present office-holding system.

The election yesterday passed off quiet

the contest for sheriff and district aitor
ney. The returns as far as wo have re.
ceived them indicate very light vote
polied. This was on account of pelting
storm which prevailed Monday and Tues
day. The entire Republican Ticket is
doubtless elected by majorities ranging
from 800 to 500.
In River Falls, Meggett run better than
was expected. Whether it was owing
to the speech he made in that place Just
before election, or on account Of Rusk's
threShing machine adventures we are
unable to determine.
The main fight in this city was on the
election of Sheriff. Mr.. Smith, of this
city, the candidate on the peoples ticket,
is popular with our citizens, and
many republicans voted for him thou b

Nothing so units man for running for
office in Pierce county, as the fact that he

two or three farms, couple of threshing
machines aud several breaking team $,

hardly qualified for successful Office

load of goods and chattels he has been
obliged to carry. Surely the ways of
Pierce county politics are past finding
