The Fate of Fighting Dorg.
BY SIN FELTON,.


A man he ewned a terrier dorp-
bob tailed, onery cuss-
And that there purp got that there man
In many an ugly mus;
For the man he was on his muscle,
And the dorg was his bite,
So to kick that dorg goned animile
Was sure to raise fight.
A Woman owned a Thomas cat.
That fiat fifteen pound
And other cats got up and slid
When that there cat was round.
The man and his dorg came along enc day.
Where the woman she did dwell
And the purp lie growled so ferociuusIy,
Then he went for the cat like =.
He tried to chaw the neck of the cat,
But the cat, he wouldn't be chawed,
So he lit on the back of that there dorg,
And bit and clswed aud clawed
Oh, the hair it flew! and the purp he youled!
AS the claws went into his hide
And chunks of flesh were peeled from his back !;
Then flummuxed. and kicked and died.
The man he ripped, and cussed, and swore,
AS ho gathered a big brickbat.
That he would be burned essentially
If nc didn't kill that cat! The did !
But the woman allowed she'd be blessed if
And snatched up the old shotgun,
Which she fired, and reppered his diaphragm
With bird shot number one
They totcd him home a window blind,
And the doctor cured him up;
But he never was known TO fight again,
Or to own another purp.
Folks may turn up their snoots at this rhyme,
/ don't care for that
All wanted to show is, that fighting dorgs
May tackle the wrong Tom cat.

LIGHTNING AND FIRE IN BuCKsPORT.

Our CORES ponlent at Bucksport sends the fol-
lowing account of the late tempest
This town was visited during last Sunday night
by if not the most terrific thunder storm ever
known here; more than twenty telegraph poles on
the Bangor line were shattered badly. About one
O'clock Mon day morning, the lightning followed
the Bangor wire into the telegraph office, setting
on fire two envelopes. enclosing dispatches, that
had been placed Just back of the wires connected
with the switches. This flame came in contact
with lot Of papers which were stuck on wire
Just above The fire there communicated to the
wood work which burnt very slowly until four in
the morning, when the inmates of the western ten
ement of the block discovered their rooms to be
filled with smoke, The alarm was given and the
department eXinguished the fire in Il few moments,
but not until the flames had run up some - feet
inside of the partition and outer wall. The Block
is of wood, belongs to j. b. Bradley, and contains
three stores below, and offices, and dwelling house
and Hall above. Had the fire continued a few
minutes longer without being discovered, with II
little more air. the conflagration would have been
terrible
On Monday evening at a quarter before o'clock,
another bolt or ball. as the eye witnesses describe
it, entered the telegraph office on the same Wire.
Will Cobb CHM, the clerk in the office, was in the
cellar ut the time for the purpose of closing the out
side doors. Another young man was on the stairs
holding light for him. 1t appears by some over
sight that the ground wire had been detached or
broken Just above the cellar floor, and that he
fluid followed the wire down to the end Of it, and
then exploded with the noise of small cannon
and di1iused itself on the floor.
Young CHM was knocked over shoe box and
was found Wedged in between lot of others
The young man who held the lamp ran up stairs,
reported that CHM was killed, and left the store in
hurry. There was A rush for the cellar by those
in the store. where they found Cobbic, not dead.
but little confused As 10 his whereabouts. Had
he been ten feet nearer the Wire he would not have

The resolutions adopted by the Republi-
cans, ut their State Convention last week,
are not long, but they are exceedingly curl
uu>. There is not Il word about the sacred
ness of the flag, and even the rights OF hui
uanity 50 often and fearfully illustrated
ai"retme in the person of the inevitable mig
ger, are for once ignored, and Sambo is no
more. There is a little concerning the "nat-
nral resources" something of the ''sacred-
ness of the public debt" Il glimpse of our
li@ion at all. The full text of the resolutions
is as follows
Resolved. That we rejoice in the vast and varied
DHtura resources of our State and hold that it
should be the constant effort of every department
torsceing state policy to develop these resources
and bring them into active operation, and then to
furnish profitable employment for our industrious
people, a home market for the produce Of our
farmers, so 10 stay the tide of emigration from
oar State, and increase our wealth and population
Resolved, That, while we would maintain and
preserve the sacredness of the public debt of the
Stale and Nation, and the gradual payment of the
same, according to the letter and spirit of the
tract, we are in favor of reduction of the burdens
Of taxation, internal and external, so far con-
10 all the industrial interests of the country, and
We are opposed to fostering one branch of industry
al the expense of anOther but hold that the bur-
,lrnN and the benefits should be equally distributed.
Resolved, That the shipping interests of the State
and Nation demand the care and protection of the
Government, and the adoption of such measures as
-hall relieve the owners and builders of vessels.
Resolved, That we renew adhesion to the
principle of prohibition, and vigorous and impair
1laI enforcement of the laws TO that end.
The idea that The State, after having done
certain things, is ''then to furnis. profitable
employment for our industrious people," is a
novel one. 1t hasn't hitherto been done out
side the State Prison, an institution that en-
tcrains those who are too industrious with
The affairs of other citizens 1t is thought
that generally If the State allows people to
furnish their own employment, and takes care
that they are not robbed of its proceeds, it is
sufficiently paternal in its cares. Our State
hasn't done even that as the operations Of
the Paper Credit thieves can testify
The debt and taxation resolution is merely
"springcs to catch woodcock" II is the same
old talk that has gone on for years, with no
action TO back it. The shipping resolve is
the same. The interest has long suffered,
and yet Congress does nothing, and it will
do nothing. And the same old rum resou-
ton staggers to its legs, looks around with a
drunken leer, and falls on its back for another
year, to be again stirred up. This is the
breadth and scope of the declaration of
principles at Augusta. The mourners, in
Guiding ''the corpse's cousins" will now
come forward and take a last look

FARES TO THE CONVENTION.

Arrangements have been made by the
Democratic State Committee, with all the
Railroad and Steamboat lines in the state fol
halt fares over their routes to the Democratic
State Convention at Portland on the 28th
Persons attending should state, when pur-
chasing their tickets, that they desire the
privilege of the reduced rates, and receive
return tickets
1t is difficult to say whether the Third
Party Convention was held this year or not
The State Committee issued a notice indefi-
nitely postponing the meeting, but some OF
the more enthusiastic determined to meet
and did meet. Their action resulted in cast
ing Just eighteen votes for Sidney Perham
Thus ends the great movement which last
year set out with drums beating and colors
flying, to conquer or de-tapered down to a
point so fine as not to be seen. 1t is like the
road in the woods taken by bewildered
traveller, which changed to a rabbit path
and ended in squirrel track that run up a
tree.

A BOLD ROBBERY. The Mechanics Bank OF
Louisville, Ky, was last week the scene of a
bold and daring robbery. Henry l.. Pope, the
cashier, was alone in the Bank when two men en-
tered one of them placing knife to the throat OF
Pope, threatening him with instant death if he ut
tered word. and the other taking a handkerchief
saturated with chloroform, threw it over his face
and threw shawl over his head. The robbers, as
soon as the chlorOfOrm had taken effect, carried
Pope to room in the back part of the building and
matte manner with their work Of cleaning out the
bank. They secured and carried off 100000 in
money, and $4,000 or $4,000 was left scattered
over the floor A clerk returning at half past $
in two policemen, who discovered and released Pope
from his disagreeable situation. Pope was still
unconscious, and it was sometime before he re-
covered from the effects of the drug. The same
bank was robbed about thirty years ago, when the
book-keeper was killed, and Julien, cashier, severe.
ly wounded The rObber Dix, was discovered in
that act, and to prevent arrest blew his own brains
