THE NEW APPoRrIoNMENT.

The substance of the report of the Judiciary
Committee, upon the subject of the new Con
gressional apportionment and the bill Of the
last session relating thereto, is as follows:
That inasmuch as said bill was acted upon
by each House Of Congress prior to the tax
ing of the ninth census, and with the object
of having Representatives elected under it in
the year 1870, many of its provisions have
become useless and impractcable, yet the
House of Representatives thereby indicated
275 Representatives, and the Senate 800 Rep
resentatves, as the number of which the
House should be composed. The committee
have given due consideration to the fact.
Believing, however, that 800 Representa-
tives, to be increased by the admission of
new States, is a greater number than public
policy now requires, it is concluded to report
in favor of 2S0 members commencing with
the XLIIId Congress. This number is ar
rived at by fixing upon 1877, 800 persons as
the ratio, and also by giving an additional
Representative to each State that has a
fraction greater than one moiety of the said
ratio Upon This basis, the only States
whose representation will be reduced will be
will lose one Representative. The States of
Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware,
Louisiana, Ohio, Florida, Oregon, West
Virginia, Nevada and Nebraska will each re-
tain their present representation. The States
of Massachusetts. New York, Maryland, Vir-
gina, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ala
bama, Mississippi, California and Minnesota
will each gain one over its present repre-
sentation. The States of New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin and
Kansas will each gain two. The States OF
Missouri, Michigan and Iowa Will each gain
three, and the State of Illinois will gain four
The bill proposes that from and after the
Sd day of March, 1868, the House of Repre-
sentatives shall be composed of $50 members,
to be apportioned among the several States
in accordance with the provisions Of this act,

LETTER FROM BuCKsPORT.

BUCKsrORT, Jan. 16, 1871.
The loss Of the ship S. Thurston recently,
on Nash Sands, Bristol Channel, falls quite
heavily on our citizens. Capt j. H. Snow,
the father Of the young man who had charge
OF her for this voyage, owned three sixteenths,
Mrs. Enoch Barnard, Mr. N. T. Hill and
Dea. ii. Darling sixteenth each Capt S.
WAS the only one insured Mr.. Darling
owned in three ships that were lost last year,
and this is the first instalment in the same
line for 1871. would state that the Thurs
ton was at the time Of her loss under the
charge of a regular pilot, so no blame is at
tached to young Capt. Albert.
The Methodist society of this place, having
been promised that their church debt, which
amounted to some ten or twelve hundred
dollars, would be paid by Colyer Snow, ESQ,
one of its members, provided it would raise
funds sufficient by subscription, to purchase
Parsonage, set to work, and at once the
amount was raised. The Parsonage has
been bought, and the society is now out of
debt. Their church edifice is the finest in
town, ana they nave the most convenient
vestry underneath have ever seen.
The Congregationalist Society are agtat-
ing the subject of either erecting new
church, or entirely remodeling their present
one. An adjourned meeting of the parish is
to take this affair more fully under consider
alton. 1t is hoped that q new church will be
decided upon. This society has in its church
one OF the finest organs in this, part of the
state, but it is seldom that its capacity is
made known to the worshipcrs at that house
A recent Sabbath, however, was an excep-
ton. Under the skilful hands of Miss
Nancy button, organist of the Congregation
allst church Of Ellsworth, all present were
made to acknowledge the magical influence
OF music. HANCOCK.

AN ATTEMPT AT A swINDLE. A man hailing
from New York canvassed this county near the mid
die of December last, for the purpose of appointing
agents for the sale of a patent sickle bar for a
moving machine, and after making a satisfactory
arrangement he induced parties to sign receipts
agreeing to pay 5000 as as certain amount of
machinery was sold, the machinery to be sent to
the agents free of expense. 1t is needless to add
that no machinery ever received by such ap-
pointed agents, but instead, on Thursday last, a
man calling himself Brown called on Luther
Bryant, ESD, and offered to sell II notes of 5000
each, signed by as many prominent farmers of this
county each one Of whom were appointed Decem-
Der last, agent for the patent sickle bar Mr. Bry-
ant, not feeling disposed to buy, sent the man to
Charles H. Mllliken, who from some cause mis-
trusted that all was not right, took the names of
seven OF the slgners, and made an engagement to
meet the man in an hour when he would buy a
certain number of the notes. In the mean time the
facts Of the fraud came out and the man was not to
be found at the appointed time. The following are
the purported originators of eight of the notes. and
