The Third Party is looming up again. A
correspondent of the Lewiston Journal, who
took a prominent part in the recent State
Temperance Convention in that city. declares
that the Hichborn men of last year have al
ready received new and large accessions,
and are encouraged to believe that they will,
at the next election, be the party. We
thought they wouldn't return like whipped
rebels to the party ranks.

A VIGoRoUs OLD COUrLE In recording
something of tramp over the railroad line,
last fall, we mentioned the first settlers of
Unity, Capt Baker, Of This city, u native of
that town, has given some facts Of interest
concerning George Woods and his wife, who
were among the earliest settlers Of Sandy
Stream Plantation, now Unity. Mr.. Woods
is now 90 years of age, and but for rheumatic
troubles would be still 4 man Of considerable
vigor. His mind is unimpaired, and memory
Of early events excellent. He was married
when 10, his wife being 16, and they have
lived together a years, and had ID children,
of whom are living, They came to Unity,
in 1897, on horseback, from Standish. and
settled on the farm where they now reside.
There were then but forty persons within the
present limits of Unity He helped to build
the first house, logone, in Thorndike, which
was occupied by George Dyer and John
White. Mr. Woods also helped to build the
first road to Belfast when there were bnt two
stores here. One of these was kept by Dr.
Hubbard, the owner of the other Mr.. Woods
does not remember Altogether this venerable
couple are fine specimens Of the old stock,
which seems to have been made Of more Ell
during materials than people Of later genera
tons. We hope the old gentleman may he
spared to ride in the cars to thiscity, over tho
route he used to follow by spotted trees

It is for the interest of the people of towns
that have not received the amount Of State
bonds that they are entitled TO- on the equal
izaton matter to look into the doings OF
their seloctmen. The commissioners intimate
thai town officers were sometimes in league
with the Paper Credit thieves, to divide the
money appropriated 10 buy men, and furnish
paper credits instead. That would relieve
towns from draft, but would not entitle them
to equalization bonds, as though men had ac-
tually been put in. Towns that have not re-
ceived the proper amount Of bonds, had bet
ter look up the doings of their town officers

ROBBERY AND ARREST.
ST. LOUIS, FEE.

Shepard Stevens of Bangor, Me, was ar
rested at Quincy, H., yesterday. charged
with stealing $4,000 in currency and $4,000
in city bonds Of Bangor, Me, from a friend
in New York some months ago. The bonds
were found Oh his person and the money had
been invested in real estate in Kansas.
Since the above appeared in the papers, a
dispatch has been published dated at Ban
ont Of a dispute concerning the title to certain
lands in Kansas, and was an attempt to fore
stall public opinion. We have learned the
facts Of the case, as stated by the complaint
ant and his fri ends, which are as follows
Mr.. George w Buckmore, of this city late
ly Of Ellsworth, was in New York, transact
ing some business, and stopping at the Aston
House He there fell in with Stevens, and
invited him to his room. During their con-
Yersation, Buckmore stated that he had
IS, 900 in cash and $500 in Belfast City Bonds
in his satchel which was in the room He
stepped out for a few moments, leaving
Stevens there, and on his return found that
he had disappeared and that the satchcl was
open and the money and bonds gone. After
trying in vain to recover his funds by aid CT
the police, Buckmore came home His
law, Monroe Young, of Ellsworth,
then started in pursuit of Stevens. After u
long search he discovered his location, and
returning to New York procured from Gov
Hoffmanrequisitions onthe Governors ofIowa,
Kansas and Illinois. Armed with these, he
returned and procured the arrest, as above
stated. We have rs yet seen no account of
the alraignment of Stevens before the New
York Courts The numbers Of the bonds
| lost were preserved, and IT, as stated above
they were found upon Stevens, there would
| seem 10 be no reasonable doubt of his guilt
| The Bowdoinham Bank robbers, on Satur-
| day night last made a daring attempt at es-
| cape which came near being successful.
One Of them, Bartlett we believe, sawed off
the bars of his cell and GOT into the corridor.
With q false key he liberated Simmns. They
must have worked sharp for the cells are
visited every half hour by u Waterman.
The two then by some means got into the
street Their escape was discovered and pur-
suit made The convicts concealed them
selves hy the side of the road, but were dis
covered and fired upon one of them rcceiv-
ing q bullet in his arm. The other gave
himself up. A double sleigh, with only the
driver, was soon after seen in the vicinity,
supposed 10 have been there by arrangement
for the purpose OF picking up the convicts.
These are the incidents Of the affair as we
gather them, and may not be correct in all
particulars.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. The people, since
the Report of the Commissioners on the W NJ
Debt, are asking some questions, which
ought to be answered Who was Governor,
while the Paper Credit stealings was going
on?-and why didn't he expose it? Who
was Adiutant General 2-and did he get a
slice Of the staalings? Who was the Uni
ted States military official that eonnived at
the trand? How much did he get? Where
did the eighty unassigned credits come from
that Farwcll says he GOT and sold Are they
Ill that he got? Who else We're made rich
and what nave they got 10 say for them
selves? These are important questions.
Shnll the people have the answers?

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD.

When the President Message was delay
ed. last December, and we expected to be
obliged to print our paper Of the same week
without that important document, we insert
ed substitute which embodied about what
we supposed Ulysses might say. The follow
ing is an extract
recommend the passage Of 4 law giving to each
free American Of African descent forty acres OF
land. pair Of mules with cart ana harnesses, 1--we
barrels of -four and two suits Of clothing, including
hat of the Misunderstanding style for wearing to
meeting. | would suggest for your consideration,
also, the passage of a law offering a,premlum OF a
fair amount on each child born TO eoored parents,
with an established additional gratuty for twins
and triples. 1t would tend to encourage home III
dustry and largely increase the prosperity dignity
and honor OF the country.
We did not expect To be quite SO soon call
ed upon TO announce this as Il part of the
policy of the Republican party But Wendell
Phillips has publicly proclaimed it. Ofconrse
it must be 50.
Last week the Anti-Slaycry Society met III
Boston. Il would seem that this Association
should dissolve when slavery no longer ex-
ISIS But it says there is still work for il to
do There are 1'hills beyond Pontland and
friths beyond Forth" Having freed the
naesr, made hi,,, ar ,nioo holder. v"tor. u
Juror, and secured ii al ny q constitutional
amendment, there is still something remaiu-
inc. lie must have land and money =
he must be made independents This is the
way Wendell put the idea to his associates
1.-The whole nation recognizes the fitness and
necessity Of securing land 70 the negro. Unless he
has a homestead to stand upon, the ballot and his
civil rights will be worse than empty t0rmH-thcy
will be real ettt$.
And not only land, but other things, which
are like Mrs Toodles' door-plate, .'handy to
have in the house" One Of these things is
money. Without the aid Of money he asks
How shall he break up the soil, fence, build or
tuiti"atn2 Where is his mule to come from: Every
negro family can Justly claim forty acres Of land,
one years support, furnished cottage. mule and
farm tools. and free schools for life and this would
cost lis about one thousand millions Of dollars"
Does anybody say that this is rant and
nonsense? If they do, we beg them to re-
member that Phillips is the father of all the
leading ideas Of the radical party He origi-
mated and put forth each successfully, and
the brethren walked right up to the test And
50 they will in this case. The industry, skill
and brains of the country have accumulated
property. How easy to divide it with those
who have nothing. And when The brethren
become again destitute why divide again /!
Can anything be more simple
The premium on eolored children is to be
the next step forward. Perhap, Congress at
this session may find some way of stimulate
inc this branch of national production.
