Destructive Fire.

The extensive planning mill belonging
to Hon. A. A. Barker, and located as the
east end of our borough. was entirely
destroyed by fire at an early hour on
Friday evening last. The work nj the
mill ceased ut 6 o'clock, nj which time all
the employees except the Waterman left
the latter remaining fully an hour and
q quarter after the other men had taken
their departure, during which time he
took the usual precautions against acct
dents by fire, such rs throwing water
around and under the furnace and sweep
ing away from about il everything Of q
combustible nature The Waterman then
went 10 small Office some twenty yards
distant. TO fiji and light his lamp, and.
although he was not absent from the mill
more than ten minutes, when he returned
to it he found it SO completely filled with
dense volumes of smoke that il was i'm
possible to enter it. 1t is supposed that
the fire originated from spark from the
furnace which had got into the saw dust
and had been smouldering for some time.
Nothing whatever was saved from tho in
terror of the building. In the yard there
was an immense amount of lumber,
valued mt about 100000. not more than
$500 worth OF which WAS destroyed,
owing to the calmness ofthc evening and
the fact that copious rains had fallen
during Friday and the night previous.
Had itnot been for these fortunate circum.
stances most of the lumber would un.
doubtedly have been burned. rs well rs
q building close to the mill which con-
tanned q very large amount of planed
lumber Mr. Barker estimates his loss
nj 81 900, on which there is an insurance
of > 600 as follows: $4,000 in the Ly-
coming Insurance CO., 81 300 in the Cum
berland Valley In surance Co., and $500
in u Philadelphia company. A number
of men have been thrown out of employ
mont In consequence oil this lamcntablc
catastrophe, but in view OF Mr.. Barkcr's
we'll known energy and indomitable
pluck and perseverance, il is fair to pre-
sumo that another mill will soon take the
place of the one destroyed, and that this
much needed branch OF industry will ere
long be once more conducted with that
vigor and success which have heretofore
characterized Mr. Bankers many and inn

RAILROAD ACCIDEST.-On Friday last
the noon passenger train on the Grand
Trunk road, was thrown from the track
a half mile the other side of West Paris.
The rails expanded owing to the heat of
the sun, and the locomotive was thrown
over IN cmbankment on to its side and
badly smashed. A baggage car and box
car were driven into each other like the
joints of telescope. The acting engineer
of the train. Mr. Warren Moves, OF
Norway, had his face badly bruised and
the fireman received slight injuries. A
clergyman with his newly married wife
had been riding on the engine for quite 4
distance, and had left the train only few
minutes before mt the last station-a mar
row escape. Mr.. Noycs was running for
the regular engineer that trip, to allow
him TO go on a fishing excursion. 1t was
narrow escape for him, as he was
almost buried in the sand.

Purging Itself.

Every Congress, since the democracy
lost power in the National Councils, has
been exceedingly corrupt in the eyes OF
that political body. The editor OF the
oxford Register, in particular, is very
bitter against the National Legislators. 1t
bestows the yilest cpithets upon them,
charging them with all kinds of bribery
and corruption, and declaringit juslifiablc
to resist their doings, even at:the expense
of another revolution, But all this holy
horror with which they are affected, in
view Of the coruptions of Congress,
might be better expended in their own
party. The New York Legislature, where
there is democratic majority, is the
most corrupt political legislative body in
existence, unless il is The New York CITY
Council-in both of which bodies votes
are bought rs freely rs merchandise in
the public mart.
As an act Of justice. however, Congress
should be credited. even by their ma
liguers, with one act, that of forcing out
Of their body and keeping out the North
Carolina member, Mr.. Whittemorc, who
sold the Cadetship for filthy lucre. II
seems that Whittemore had the e(lrontery
to secure re election and present his
credentials to the body which had so
recently declared him unworthy of its
privileges. But another severe and swift
rebuke awaited him. The House without
deigning to refer his credentials to a
Committee, by the emphatic vote of l31
TO 81, ordered his credentials to be re-
turned to him. When was democratic
body ever known TO purge itself of
culprits. \ party that can put in nomi-
nation, and elect such men rs John Nor.
riSey. the Gambler and Purgilist, is en-
casedfn too much glass to use proiccliles
of 4 flinty nature, on their opponents.

Conference at Runiford.

The Oxford Conference held its annual
session ut Rumford, June lIth and 18th.
The weather was favorable. and there was
good representation Of the Churches
present The meetings were highly in.
toresting aud much appreciated by the
citizens OF the place.
Dea Leonard Grover. of Bethel, was
chosen Moderator, and +. Z. Shaw Scribe.
Rev. III. III. Hutchinson, OF Sumner.
preached the first sermon. from Matt. 10:
%. Subject, the value of the Soul. 1t
was an earnest, and able Discourse, and
gave spirited tone TO the meetings.
In. the afternoon, the first topic-"When
may the Church OF Christ be said TO be
revived. or when does she fulfil her
mission was opened by Rev. I. +.
Merry, of Norway. who was followed by
Rev. ID, Garland of Bethel
The next iopic-"What are some of
the more prominent features ola genuine
rcricaI," was opened by Rev. J. b.
Whcelwright, of South Paris. Rev. Mr..
Maxwell OF Weld, and Bro. III. +. Howard
of Dixiield followed The remarks were
interesting and instructive.
In the evening the Sabbath School cause
WAS presented under the following:
What relation has the Sabbath School
to the prosperity OF the Church and the
efficiency of the living ministry of the
word?' III. I. Howard, Esq. spoke at
length and with much interest on this,
showing that the Church must look TO the
Sabbath School for recruits. Churches in
the West grow up out of Sabbath Schools.
The question How often should
Sabbath School Concerts be held, and
what should be their character" was also
taken up and discussed with interest by
Rev. Mr. Hutchinson.
There were devotional exercises before
the public services, and morning prayer
meeting, where an excellent spirit pre-
vailed.

4 Maine Man from South Amesfca.

Mr.. Andrew G. French oil Browniield,
saws the Lewiston Journal, has recently
returned from the Argentine Republic
where no has been a resident for the last
fourteen years engaged in raising stock.
He says that sheep are now Killed for
their tallow and that more tallow than
wool is now expected from that country,
Mr.. French gave us personal history OF
this part Of the world which was exceed
inely interesting He informed us that
a perfect specimen of tho fossil Meg
atharium had been recently discovered
in that country, and was now on exhibit
ton in Buenos Ayres. 1t is the first per-
feet skeleton that has ever been dis
covered 1t is 10 l-2 feet long and 8 feet
high. This animal belonged to the sloth
family, and was harmless in its habits.
Mr.. p. succeeded in sending home. n
year since, the remains of several persons
who had died in that country of The
cholera. Among these were those of ex-
Governor Dana of Fryeburg. He in
formed us that though they had been dead
for two years, their bodies appeared as
when they died. The blood and fluids
had been so completely drained out Of
their systems rs to prevent decomposit-
ion.
Many persons 60 TO South America,
marry the Spanish Creoles and raise
families there. The morals of these men
arc usually not of the most exalted
character.
Many persons who left the South ut the
close of the war and went to South
America, are in wrctchcd condition.
Too proud to work, and too poor to live
without work, they suffer extremely, and
would gladly return to their violated ale
glance to this country, if they had the
means for that purpose. How severe the
penalty has been for disloyalty TO our
government.
