early hour in the evening, Costly and ele
CANT presents of silver ware for the table and
psrlor were PRESENTED to the happy couple,
who were not only gratified by the possession
Of so valuable gifts, but more by the liberali-
ty, thoughtfulness and good will they eyinced
on the part of the givers. After a supper fit
for kings, the evening was pleasantly spent
in the enjoyment of music and conversation.
Added to the rare musical talent of Mr.. and
Mrs Milliken and Mr.. Charles johnson. was
that of Miss Fannie Baker, our accomplished

There has recently come to our notice an
which rejects great credit upon one of our
Maine shipmasters and is worthy of preserva-
tion and lasting remembrance. Capt Isaac
Preble of Hallowell, being with his ship Erie"
in the harbor of Buenos Ayres, in the fall of
Nov, 1851, manfully and unflinchingly kept
the Stars and Stripes floating from the mast
head; his vessel was one of three out of
Mirty-three American vessels then in that
port, that hoisted the American flag While
he was in the port there came news of the
triumph of the army of constitutional liberty,
that was then engaged in that quarter of the
globe, the same as was our own, in putting
down an infamous rebellion. The following
is a translation
ga FRIEND TO THE CAUsE.-On Friday at
midday, after the arrival of the news of the
triumph, which the liberal arms are obtaining
in the Provinces, Capt. Preble, of the Ameri-
can frigate Erie, presented himself at the
Head Quarters of the Captain of the port,
saying that as his principles and opinions
were in sympathy with the liberal party Of
the Argentine Republic, he wished to par'ici-
pate In the reJoicings of all lovers Of freedom,
for the triumphs of the Liberals over the
leaders of the opposition, and that therefore he
he would solicit permission of the authorities,
to fire salute oftwenty zone guns at 8 o'clock
on the following morning, and to keep the ma
tional colors floating at the toretop during the
day. Arequest so appropriate was not refused.
and on Saturday at the hour designated the
Erie fred the proffered salute.
Hurrah for such enthusiasm in favor of
liberty? and hurrah for this noble son of the
North American Union!'
The above is from "The National" news
paper of Buenos Ayers, dated Nov. 81, 1861.
The act referred to was gratefully acknowl-
edged by the commander of the liberal forces
at Buenos Ayers, who rendered Captain
Preble the freedom of the city, and solicited
an opportunity to do him some lasting favor.
Capt. Preble replied-"All ask, sir, is that
when our army triumphs over the slave
holders rebellion you will honor the event

Mr.. J. r. Sawtelle of Hallowell shipped to
Boston on Wednesday one hundred and eight
hides that have been bought at his place since
Nov. st. This shipment makes over six hun
dred that he has bought since Jan. LIST, and all
from butchers and farmers in his immediate
vicinity. Our readers will form some idea
from this, of the slaughter that is being made
of the stock in this part of kennebec county.
Would it not be well for farmers to stop and
consider whether this is good policy or other
wise? 1t would seem from our stand point
that with the present price Of corn and
potatoes, that stock can be kept cheaply as
last year; and if it does cost a trife more,
will not the enhanced value of stock next
spring, doubly repay the expense of winter
ing? We say yes, every time. In addition
to this, Mr.. Sawtelle has purchased over seven
thousand sheep-skins within four months
nearly all of them having been bought this
month.

the finest mills in the west, owned by
Blake & Co. Before the flames could
be subdued, the upper story was
nearly destroyed, with every thing in
it, while the floods of water with
which the building was drenched
ruined nearly everything in the re-

turned out promptly, and worked
with a will, exhibiting great bravery,
and after o three hours struggle

the engine-room, Office and dryhouse,
and some goods. The fire broke out
in the dry-room; and was, without
doubt, caused by spontaneous COM

building, it being heated by steam.

fact that this destruction of human
life goes on year by year, and that
no efficacious means are adopted to

ga5~ The Missouri Democrat has
arrived at the conclusion that it
doesn't take a new name to make a
new party. 1t says:
In one sense, and that the best,
there is always formed new party
whenever new question is taken up
for action. Names are nothing
There have been four Republican
parties since 1954-a Union War, an
Abolition party, an Equal Suffrage
party. There have been six distinct
Democratic parties-anti-Bank anti
tariff, Texas Annexation, Slavery
Extension, anti-Union and War,
and anti-Reconstruction or "White
Mans Government"
The Democrat does not seem to
observe the fact that through all
these mutations since 1854, the two
parties have preserved their dstinc-
tive characters. The Republican
party was first party opposed to
Slavery Extension, then War party,
then an Abolition party, and finally
an Equal Suffrage party, because it
has been from the first the party of
justice freedom and equal rights.
The Democratic party has: been ar
rayed against the republicans on
all these issues, because it has all a
long been tho shareholders party
All the seeming changes of the Re-
publican party have been merely
phases of the same thing. And ap-
pearances indicate that the two
parties will continue to be, for long
time to come, essentially the same
that they are and have been. That
is just why no third party movement

Communicated
One of the Present County Board.

Mr.. EDIToR.-It is surprising that
Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Warner would
write such articles as have appeared
of late in the Herald and Democrat.
The only way that | can account
for it, is, they must have been close
adherents to the cheap literature
that was thrown broadcast over the
county last Summer.
Now | do not desire to assail eth
er Mr.. Warner or Mr.. Allen, but hope
to defend somewhat tho present
Board. Mr.. Warner asserts that the
present Board whitewashed the acts
of the old "bogus Board" | deny it.
Mr.. Allen claims that the new Board
indorsed the acts Of the old. Now
! deny this too. 1t is true that the
Board went through the motions of
rebuilding the claim of Mr.. Alien /;
this was ceremonial and annoying to
some at least. The claim having
been allowed by former Board and
paid, We really had no right to take
up the matter, bat let it get out of
our way as soon as possible.
Now | claim when the time came
for action on the resolution offered
on Saturday morning, which might
be taken as mild endorsement, and
which was defeated on o call Of the
ayes and nays, that the action was
the kindest and surest rebuke one can
receive for an error or blunder.
think it would be difficult matter
for the present Board with it's eyes
open TO indorse the last meeting OF
the old Board.
What was the meeting called for
and who composed it? The answer
to the first question you may find in
the answer TO the last. Those com.
posing the meeting were Mr.. Allen
Chairman, Mr.. Hubbel and Mr.. Cas-.
per-just quorum. Two votes
carrles-allowed Joseph Allen $3.50
allowed for pauper expense to the
town of WOodman considerable
sum, and also received the pauper a:
a county charge; and allowed and
paid Mr.. Clise's bill which had ir
part been disallowed by full BoarC
and appealed from; and allowed
some other little claims such as mile
age and per diem.
Now, Mr.. Editor, all of the presen
Board cannot nor will not indorS
away such movements. Mr.. Allel
should have waited until the usua
time, in November, as others do VIII,
have claims against the county. =
Mr.. Hubbel should have made tn
proper application that other town
do make to remove their pauper t,
the county, ifa proper county charg
which | very much doubt in thi
case. The necessity Of touching thu
elise suit, at least until the May ses
sion, cannot see.
With their news | cannot com
mend the meeting or action of tn
old Board. or the unki nd thrusts 0
Mr.. Warner or Mr.. Allen. 1t is t,
be hoped that in any future contro
versy they may have that they will
not commit the error that Srmne
did for the reason that they or thei
friends are elected to stay at home.

fight over the delegate in Congress is
about to be bitterly renewed. The
board of canvassers recently award
cd the certificate to Armstrong. Del
egate Burleigh, one Of the republican
candidates, has been in Washington
some weeks, endeavoring to get con.
troll of the official patronage. Last
week, both houses of the Legislature,
which is strongly republican, elected
in 1869, passed a resolution declaring
Sphinx the present delegate and the
regular republican nominee at the
late election. and he having the con-
fidence of large majority of the re-
publican party in the territory, as
the proper man to represent their in
terests at Washington. Burleigh re-
turned tonight from Washington ; he
has served q notice of contest on Arm
strong, and will enter vigorously up
on the fight, which will result in
much bitter feeling.

sos-An important decision was re-
Gently rendered by Judge McKenna,
one of the Circuit Judges of the Su.
preme Court of New York, in the
case in which the New Jersey Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company were
the defendants. The company had
refu ed to pay a policy of $4,000
upon the life of man who had COM
mitted suicide, the policy being held
by the assignee. The decision was
adverse to the company, nearly all
the evidence adduced was on the
point of insanity, it being attempted
to prove that the insured party was
not in his right mind, and his death
was the result of insanity. The
court decided that the man was in.
sane, and that insanity was disease,
and his death being directly the res
ult of such disease the holder of the
policy was as much entitled to re-
cover the amount of the policy as if
death had occurred from any other
kind of disease.
