Oar Franklin County letter.

PENNINGTON, Nov. Is, 1871.
10 the Editor Of the Press.
Although we should at this season be look
Ing Tor winter, yet our people were rather sur
prised on arising Saturday morning to find
nearly three inches of snow on the ground
Several sleighs were seen on the streets; but
by night the snow bad nearly disappeared
Friday night a singular display of the Au-
rora Boreals was seen, being of nearly the
color OF blood and very brilliant. The super
sttious said that it presaged famine, but
thu weather wise said it denoted warm weather,
etc.
Messrs. Smith & Copeghlin, two enterprising
men from New Vineyard, are erecting a steam
factory for the manufacture of spools, at AL
lens Mills. They have engaged all the birch
lumber for miles around, and intend doing a
large business.
The railroad to Phillips is the chief topic of
conversation in towns above as. Engineer
Reed is engaged in surveying the proposed
route. Reports are favorable, and the people
of Phillips mean business. There is no doubt
but that a railroad through North Franklin
would greatly benefit US, as it would open to
the world an extensive numbering and farm
ing country.
Our farmers are recovering from the panic
into which they were thrown by the drought
and grasshoppers, and have fallen greatly on
the prices of produce. Hay is quoted at $2s
per ton; beans, 80. so to 81 90; butter, % to 81
cents; eggs, 30 cents; potatoes, 40 to so cents
apples, So 90 to 81 90 per barrel
An extensive business is being done by
drovers in this section. Messrs. Porter, Vim
ing and Prescott, ship from this depot yas1
quantities every week. One of tie parties
shipped eight car loads this morning for the
Brighton market JACK.

WHAT record did Judge Goddard consult
in reference to the temperature at the time of
Jonathan Morgan's death? The records at
the Portland station of the meteorological
bureau shows that ON Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, the Sd, 4th and 5th insts., the Their
mometer hardly rose above the freezing point,
it being repeatedly at 20 degrees. That Mr..
Morgan died in affiuence is proved by the fam
cy prices at which his effects sold, and we
shall argue that point no further, but visit
to bis late residence convinces us that he
may have frozen to death. "Shanty p'--we
dignifed that comfortless, inconcelvably fl
thy and desoiate hole when we call it so The
aged man died there, during the first cold
snap of the season, with only the rags of a
shirt to cover his old bones. Beneath him
was mattress, and over him, Mr.. Blake, who
found him dead thinks there was only one ar
my blanket. Certainly there was no sheet or
ordinary blanket. If a man of "a, who e.ept
home at midnight with the thermometer at 30
degrees, did not freeze to death, under such
circumstances, his vitality must have been
simplv miraculous.

many who are continually exposed to the epidemica

either through indifference incredibly neglect to
seize the opportunity to and means OF preven-

to obtain. This is strange it is one OF the anomalies
OF human nature which it is impossible to account
for explain. 1t is, however quite certain that
every day the number of these Martyrs of Neglect is
diminishing. This is proved by the statistics of tie
sales of the great remedy. During the present fall
the demand for it has increased beyond all precedent
and it seems as if in the end the entire commu nifty
would realize the important fact, that when all 9TH

fail, it can and does effect cure. As protection
against the diseases most common at this season.

The Policy of our Principal Railroad
Corporations as Affecting the Interests
of our City and Slate.
To the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
A writer In recent issue of the Advertiser
attributes the want of success that has at
tended many manufacturing enterprises in
this city to the policy that has been pursued
by the railroads, while another writer. in a
later number OF the same paper, thinks the
railroads have generally exhibited spirit of
accommodation and have been reasonable in
their charges for transportation. Both of
these correspondents are intelligent and can
did, and both are right. While it is undoubt-
eddy true that no policy of the railroads, how
ever liberal, would of itself establish manu-
lactures in our midst and make them prosper

Capital, skill and enterprise will ordinarily en-

of such city. The same mistaken and upfor-
tunate policy that has retarded the growth of

the last twenty years, to increase in popula-
ton and wealth, as from her position and re-
sources she might reasonably have been ex-
pected to increase. The population of Name

WE trust that no reader of the PRESS VINO

to read the article published elsewhere on

statement of the case; but is fully WARRANTED

producer in Maine has long complained OF it;
but just now all business men are becoming

The Los Angeles correspondent of the Tri-
bane gives an account of the outrages of the
scum of that city upon the Chinese, which leads
one to conclude that there is a barbarism in
the scum of cities that is so fiendsh as to rem
der ordinary heathanism virtue. If the scum
predomnates, there is not doubt that the gov
eminent should turn its attention to it rather
than common cattle-stealing savages. 1t seems
that the Chinese quarreled among themselves
on the 23t and some of them were arrested
Chinese bail was offered, but the Justice doubt
ed the security. A constable went into the
Chinese quarter to examine the exchequer of
bondsman. He discovered strong box
packed with gold coin. 1t was soon noised
abroad that the heather Chinee had "lots of
money. The next day another Celestial
animation" broke out, and in attempting to
quell it two officers of the peace were shot.
The Sheriff and Marshal and their officers soon
had Gordon around the Chinese quarter, and
everything was safe. But the "scum of the
city and others were eager for vengeance, and
scented the spoil. So they broke through the
lines and then commenced to pillage and MUIR
der -ThA result was q general robbery of all
Ihe Cnlhese shops ana noas~e. S17 600 in coin,
four Celestials shot dead, eight wounded, and
seventeen taken out and hung, to make eau
casian holiday, and to crafty the intense race
hatred of turbulent rioters Further outrage
was only prevented by rally of the ''better
portion of the people, including members of
the Vigilance Committee" and the forcible
seizure of poor Cinnamon from the mob The
Tribune writer relates the execution of one lit
tie fellow, fifteen years old, 'who was picked
up in the street while returning from his work,
and who said, as the murderers were placing
piece Of bailing rope about his neck, Me no
'fraid to die; me velly good China boy; me no
hurt no man." and concludes the account by
saying that clos Angeles, to all intents and
purposes, is as fair in fame and as free from
blemsh as ever. A law abiding community
must not be made to suffer in reputation for

The CASE OF THE HORTON The Washing

Inn OASE tf IdE hORTON.-iu0 w dSulDS-
ton special of the New York Tribune says:
Secretary Boutwell, still holds under advise
ment the question of granting the application
of the owners of the schooner Horton for new
papers. He has not referred the application to
any of the law officers of the government, be-
lieviDg that no question of law is involved in
the case. The question to be settled is very
simple one, the Secretary maintains, and that
is, if the applicants can satisfactorily account
for the loss of the old papers according to the
Navigation laws made and provided for such
cases. their request can be granted; otherwise
failure to make such a showing prevents the
reissue of new papers. 1t is hardly probable
that the applicants can comply with the law,
and the general impression now is that the
matter will be one tor the consideration of
Congress. The Secretary of the Treasury will
not. however, lay the subject before that body,
on account of his opinion of the case as above
stated Gen. Butler, nevertheless, differs with
the Secretary on this point and it is currently
reported in official circles here that he has sig
nlfied his intention of testing the right of the
Horton owners to new papers by agitating the
question from his seat in the House,
