SELLING THE STATE OF MAINE.-A
rerv singular scene occurred at the State
House in Augusta, Me-, last Wednesday.
A Mrs. Thornton, Of Portland, had caus-
"a notice of a sale of the State of
Maine to be posted up on the doors OF the
State House, and at ten o'clock she pro-
eeeded to satisfy her claim by selling the
Commonwealth. Several bids were made
by the Senators and Representatives, at
fabulous sums, but finally the lady struck
4 off to herself and took her seat in the
Sneakers chair. As far as this went all
well; but the time for the opening of the
session had now arrived, and Mrs. Thorn
ton was politely requested to come down
from her position, but she declined to do
90 saving that she had bought in the
State and must stay and keep her posi-
Upon the Clerk ordering the messengers
TO remove her ~ ct drplis scene of great
confusion ensued. She Utterly refused to
be elected by force. The members be-
can to beg Mrs. Thornton to go out quiet
", but she was deaf to their entreaties ;
she resisted fiercely, but was finally per
suaded to retire and was last seen in the
State Library looking up legal authorities
to sustain her claim. The lady in ques-
ton is regarded as demented upon this
one subject, although perfectly sane on
all others.

Relics Of the Rattle of Lake Erie.

Relics Of the Battle of Lake Erie.
A number Of interesting relics, the per-
sonal property of the late Major Henry
B. Brevoort, have been deposited for safe
keeping and as honorable memorials
among the records of the Michigan State
Historical Society. Among these are in
eluded the hat and sword of the gallant
Major, worn by him in the battle of Lake
Erie under Commodore Perry. Among
the relics, says the Detroit Free Press, is
also a card-case, fashioned from piece
of live oak which was used in the repair
ing of the staunch old battle-ship, the
Ironsides, which had gained so proud a
name and so high fame for the flag of
the Union and its brave defenders.
A copy of letter, accompanying a sill
yer medal bearing appropriate devices
commemorative Of the battle, is given be-
low. The letter was addressed to ''Cap-
tain Henry B. Brevoort, late command
ing marines on Lake Erie" but the pre-
else facts were, that this officer was at
that time a Captain in the Second Regi-
ment of United States Infantry, and vol
unteered, with his company, when the
fleet sailed to meet the enemy
