A Little Game blocked.

Friday of last week communication was re-
ceived stating that the trial of John E. Simons,
for forgery, and Going Hathorn of Pittsfeld,
as an accomplice, was going on at Newport,
creating great interest, and that the former had
turned States evidence. No man in the radius
OF forty miles about Pittsfeld is more promi-
hently known or more generally esteemed as a
man OF integrity, capacity and public spirit than
Hon. Going Hathorn, consequently this an
nouncement created great surprise to a great
many people who did not know anything of the
circumstances In the spring of 1870 one John
Il. Simons, who was engaged in the manufac-
tlre OF furniture failed, but though rather a
bad one for the locality, there was nothing about
it to create unusual remark Mr.. Hathorn,
who has had way of obliging men with his
name, which made good note in the Water
vile, Skowhegan and other banks and among
money lenders generally, was on Simons' pa
per, and expected to pay his part. Later there
began to turn up large notes and notes that it
was supposed had been paid, until some time in
June following, it was discovered that Simons
had used names without authorization. and
changed the amounts of notes. About this
time he left. He was afterwards brought back
from Canada and remained about Pittsfeld his
friends and creditors, those holding genuine
and bogus paper, trying to arrange their claims.
After while he escaped again and was not
heard from until last summer. The worst suf-
ferers were a lot of shylocks in that vicinity.
who anticipated rich harvest by mercilesslv
shaving notes bearing so good name as that
OF Going Hathorn. When Mr. Hathorn declar
Gu the greater part of this paper bogus, this
note-shavlng ring set themselves at work to Sc
cure their payment of him as the only response
BILE man that could be dragged in. ''Black
mail, the usual appliance of this class, was re-
sorted to, and a conference was had with Sim
ons, who has proved as silly as he had been dis
honest, and doubtless the promise of escape as
States evidence was held out to him should he
become part of the machinery to perfect their
plans for raid upon Mr.. Hathorn Accord
ihgiy the agent of the ring informed Mr. Hath
ORR "iat they were able to prove by Simons'
'esViiioiiy, ana thereupon demanded the pay
ment OF the notes as the only price of secrecy.
These terms Mr.. Hathorn promptly refused and
they threatened immediate suit Simons mt
himself in the way to be arrested, and the war
rant was made for Mr. Hathorn returnable to a
magistrate who had, it is averred, repeatedly
denounced Mr. Hathorn; but by some means
another magistrate heard the matter. and after
a weeks investigation Simons was held in the
sum OF $4,000, and is now in Bangor jail while
Mr. Hathorn was acquitted Thus an attempt
to bring disgrace upon man whose name has
been honorably known among business men,
and who has been for years foremost in for
warding every enterprise in that section, failed,

Extraordinary Claim of a Railroad Co.

~ AUGUSTA, Nov. %, 1871.
A curious matter and one well illustrating
the characteristic modesty of railroad com
panies that have received State subsidies came
before the Governor and Council to-day. The
European and North American railroad receiv-
ed by the act of 1864 grant of all the lands on
the waters of the Penobscot and ST. John, ex-
cept those reserved under previous acts as set
ting lands In 1863 when the same CORPORA
ton came before the Legislature to obtain re-
lief from the obligation to pay Massachusetts,
the large sum necessary to liquidate the claim
OF that State on the lands bestowed with une-
qualed prodigality on the road, change was
lnsldiously introduced in the language of the
grant, SO that the timber and lands" subject
to the reservations mentioned in the act of
1864, were transferred to the lucky corporation.
Shortly afterwards the company applied to the
Governor, in the absence of Mr.. Burleigh, the
Land Agent, for their deed, the Governor
and Counc il being given to understand that Mr.
Burleigh knew of the contents of the deed,
when that gentleman had never seen it. In
this deed all the lands in question were grant
ed, subject to the reservations above mentioned,
no enumeration of the townships embracing the
settling lands being made. The company now
claim the entire territory, and the trustees of
the mortgage bondholders appeared before the
Governor and Council to-day for the purpose of
requesting that the Land Agent be directed to
issue no more permits to settlers for the pres
ent. Attorney-General Reed, acting in behalf
of the State, objected, and compliance with the
demand was refused.
In the course of the hearing on the subject
there were developments in regard to transac-
tons of a previous occupant of the Land office,
which were to the ordinary observer a little
well-queer. JOSEPH.

Political Notes.

The Bangor Democrat says that the politi
cal situation is not hopeless, because tn
Conservatives may reasonably count on thu
whole 1T electoral votes of the South, will
those of New York and New Jersy, in which
case they will lack only two votes of the 15t
required. 1t looks to Indiana for these, be-
cause it went Democratic at its last election
The Democrat is now the most sanguine
Conservative paper in America.
The Wing says perhaps the argus can now
furnish an answer to the following conun
drum, which it propounded some time agc
with reference to Senator Sumner and Hon
VIM. NJ. Tweed:
(which, we ask, is the man of true Chris
tianity, and which best illustrates the com
mands of God and the teachings of the Say
yior."
Marcellus Emery of the Democrat having
beeu accused of intending to start daily pa
per, says he has inquired into the truth OF
the rumor and has concluded that there is
some foundation for it.
The Standard of this week concludes to
put on the "Tweed coat without further
ado, though it makes little grimace at its
Republican neighbors.

Wreck Of Brig G. HI. Kennedy-statement
of the Captaiu.


of the Captain.
From the statement of Capt n B. Dodge of
brig G. H. Kennedy, of this city, recently lost
on the New Jersey coast it will be seen that he
aud his wife and the crew of the vessel had a
very narrow escape from watery grave:
AT 6 o'clock p. M, on Tuesday, Nov 18th.
we encountered one of the most terrific storms
from the east ever experienced on the Attain
tic. We were bound from Bangor to Philadel-
phia; kept the brig heading southerly until
south of Barnegat Light; tackled ship and stood
northerly, making a northeast course. Atsp.
M hauled down the mainsail and close reefed
it; took in close reefed tOpsails took in the lib
and mainstaysail in quick succession; hove to
under close-reefed mainsail, the gale still in
creasing. AT twelve we find ourselves among
the breakers; the crew and myself took to the
rigging; my wife and child were in the state
room the sea boarding the brig in all directions,
making it impossible for me to reach the cabin
gangway, as the brig swung head off shore, and
all the crew and myself were in the fore rig
ging At daylight worked my way to the cabin
and with great JOY found my wife and son still
alive. with the water three and one-half feet
deep in the cabin, but not so deep as to overflow
them in their BERTH my wife surprising all those
dreary hours that we were washed overheard
and lost. took my wife and boy on deck and
lashed them to weather kevel, the tide at the
time springing and the sweeping over the
brig fore and aft. By this time all the crew

somewhat abated. We knew not where we
were, but hearing voice from the shore found
we were among the living. As the day wore on
the people began to arrive on the beach The
brig at this time appeared to be within one hun
dred yards of the shore; but with the noise of
the wind and rushing of the sea nothing could
be understood from the shore. CAT this time, (6
a. IN the brig. began to list to the sea and in
cline to swing broadsde to the beach. Fearing
an would be lost l cut the boat from the davits,
thinking to place my wife in her, the men on
the shore making signs to keep back. No SOON
| er, however, had the boat touched the water
| than she was capsized and washed ashore. In
this awful state of suspense, between hope and
despair, we were huddled together ON the quar-
ter until about o'clock a. M, when we saw
them coming with the life-saving apparatus.
This was quickly placed in position under the
superintendence of Capt. Pitny Curtis, aided by
Benjamin d. Pearce, by which means we were
all safely landed. Our landing was not effected
moment too soon, for we had not been rescu-
ed half hour when the brig swung round broad
side to the sea, headed off shore, and the sea
swept across her in such volumes that her deck
| load of timber flew in all directions, and not a
soul could have remained on deck one moment.

OSCAR j. DUNN, the late Lieutenant Cover
nor of Louisiana, whose death has been an
nounced by telegraph as having taken place at
New Orleans on Wednesday, was a negro and
had been a slave in his earlier years. He was
born in 1920 The first appearance he made in
politics was as delegate to the Louisiana Con-
stitutional Convention after the passage of the
reconstruction act, where he made something
of figure. He was chosen Lieutenant Cover
nor in May, 1868, for four years, from January
1, 1869, and since that time has presided over
the State Senate with considerable ability and
acknowledged impartiality. He and Governor
Yarmouth have been politically unfriendly for
a year past owing to local troubles. Mr. Dunn
was very liberal towards his own race, and did
many kindnesses, while he lived frugally and
humbly that he might be enabled to do so. He
was not such great as he was a good man.

PORTLAND, Nov 81, 1871.
To my former Customers and the Pubic generally:
RETURNING THANKS for past favors would re-
spectfully invite you to No. s. Commercial street, di
rectly opposite the Clock in Thomas Block, where
can be found large and fine assortment of the best
grades of ST. LOUIS FLOUR. Having determined to
give my exclusive attention to Flour Alone shall
make it point to purchase that will fail to give
perfect satisfaction The following will give some
idea of my success in selecting good -four During
the year that occupied the Japan Tea Store ending
Now |, retaed 1000 bbls of four 400 consecutive
barrels without the return Of single one and only
IL bbls were returned during the entire year. This
unusual success was largely Owing to the quality OF
-four selected, and partly in the manner which it was
sold and that to recommend it precisely what it
would prove to be. This will be my future course.
My flour will all be bought from first hands direct,
which will enable to retail it at the lowest whole
sale prices. AS have record of every barrel OF
flour previously sold, and the purchasers name, by
reference to which judge very nearly what grade
of -four will suit the same customer.
Very truly, w. HI. HALL,
