They were arrested on peculiar charges, but
Caldwell, the United States district Judge, re-
fused them, and they resumed their duties
and held the election. The selfconstituted

TALKING WITH JURORS ABOUT A CASE ON
TR1AL.-The Kennebec Journal says that on the
opening of the Supreme Judicial Court in Au-
gusta, Wednesday morning the fowage case
Pimpton vs.. Richards and ais, Executors, bes
ing ON trial, Mr.. Baker, counsel for defendants
moved the court that the case be withdrawn
from the jury, and the jury discharged, for the
reason that one of their number had, while rid
ing in the car from Hallowell, permitted
ne, son to talk with him about the case, and
listened to remarks highly prejudicial to the
defendants, and calculated to bias the jurors
indgment An examination of witnesses who
were present, seemed fully to make out the
truth of the charge. 1t appeared that the per-
son offending had been attending court as
snectator hut was not witness in the case,
nor in any way interested in it. The Judge
proposed. with the assent of counsel on the
plaintiffs side, that the obnoxious juror SHOULD
retire and the trial proceed with the remaining
eleven. This the defendants by their counsel
declined to do. They also absolutely declined
to proceed further in their defense, to offer any
testimony, or submit any argument. But the
Judge deeming it proper that the cause should

conduct of the juror, proceeded to charge them,

States Senators from New Jersey are ex-Sen-
ator Frelinghuysen, Cornelius Walsh and Sec
retary Robson.
A Montgomery dispatch says about one halt
OF the State of Alabama has been heard from,
including most of the Republican strongholds.
The Democrats have more than overcome the
majority of Grant. The balance of the State
will 60 largely Democratic. The Democrats
elect three and probably four Congressman
and large majority of the House of Repre-
sentatives. There was no election for Sena-
tors as far as heard from. There was not a.
disturbance of any. kind. t-4.si
All the towns but five in Massachusetts, have
been heard from, and the vote stands: Claflin
1871; Adams 4S,261; Phillips 21,666; Claf-
Inns clear majority S,204. Some changes have
been made in the representative and senate
ria! returns, and the exact condition of the
Legislature is not known. Both branches are
largely Republican,.
There is no doubt that the Republicans OF
Florida have elected their Congressman, l. T.
Walls, and their Lieutenant Governor, SamI
L. Day, by largely decreased majorities. The
Legislature is supposed to be Conservative.
The returns are meagre on account of there
being no communication with the back coun-
ties. ~ - 4
In Kentucky the Democrats have lost heav
lily. Finley, Republican, is undoubtedly elect
ed to Congress in the 9th district, and both
parties claim the 9th. The present delegation
iseompbsed entirely of Democrats.
In Tennessee the Democrats have elected
their Governor by about $4,000 majority,
lossof about 3o,oeO from last year. The Re
publicans have elected three of the nine Con-
gressmen.
Both parties claim Alabama; the Republl-
4 cans by about 5000 majority and the Demo-
Gratis by from 5000 to 5000. The latter claim
heavy gains and the election of their Con-
grssmenf IN the 9Th and 9th districts.
The Republican State ticket in Michigan is
elected by over 10000 majority. Five of the
Republican Congressman are elected by large
majorities. The Democrats claim the 9th dis
trict by 1000 majority. The Republicans have
40 majority in the Legislature, which elects
United States Senator.
In Missouri the estimates of Browns LIB
r. majority for Governor range from 5000 to
10000. The Republicans have chosen five of
the nine Congressmen-four of them Regu-
las.
"A later return from Nevada states that the
Democratic candidate for Governor, L. R.
Bradley, is elected by small majority. Thom-

fused on the ground that no such grant should
be made while annexation was pending.

Does farming pay in Maine? How often
has this question been asked by the young
|men of our State, and before waiting to an
|swer it by practical application to this branch
|of business they have pulled up stakes" and
gone to the West. We have case in point
in very forcible manner that
farming can be made TO pay in Kennebec
old, worn -out farms can be resus-
eitated and be made to become fruitful. In
hs63, Allen Lambard, Esq, of this city pur-
chased the Hartwell farm on the east side of
HE river, the most of which lies south of the
Rockland road leading to Togus, and contain
ing 100 acres. At the time of the purchase
there were kept on the farm one horse, one
cow and heifer. Year after year hay has
bad to be purchased to winter out this stock.
Last winter Mr.. Lambard wintered fifty head
bf horned cattle, thirty one horses and twelve
sheep, and has now ten tons of hay on hand.
Here is a demonstration of facts that all must
acknowledge who have occasion to ride by his
green fields, now under the highest state of
cultivation. He has large orchard with
thrifty trees, and besides filling his commodi-
bus barns each year with hay, devotes consid-
Frable of his farm to root crops.

A CARD.

The undersigned fearing lest their views in re-
laton to the time Of holding the Memorial Service,
arranged by the Committee for sunday afternoon,
be misunderstood unite in the following statements
LIST We have not intended by our silence, or any
thing we have said or done to leave the impression
that we do not consider the proper observance of
the sabbath of the highest importance; or that we
would knowingly countenancc anything that would
violate its sancltie5. On the contrary, we regard
with decided disfavor any approach TO a military
parade, or any other pageant on that Holy day.
I'd. 1t has been our judgment from the beginning,
that some other day would have been more appro-
pirate for such Il service; and 1t was only when we
were assured that there should be no pageant or
military display on the streets that an hour should
be chosen which would not interrupt the ordinary
services of the Sabbath and that the ceremonies
should be entirely in keeping with the character Of
the day, that we yielded reluctant assent to the
proposed change in time
Had the several Clergymen of the city, and the
gentlemen OF the Committee taken the precaution,
(as we now think they should have done,) to meet
together for consultation upon this matter, differ
ent and better result might have been reached. But
in view of the repeated assurances of the Commit
tee that the Services would be of a strictly religious
character we have concluded after mature deber-
alton TO be present at the services the time pro-
posed. But at the same time we beg to add, that
we heartily respect the scrupes of those who con
scientiously do not feel at liberty to be present
