IMPORTANT ACTION OF THE COL.
ORED PEOPLE OF YORK COUNTY.

The following resolution was uDani-
mously adopted by large meeting of
the eolored citizens of York County,
held on Saturday, April l, as we learn
from the Enquirer. Such action as this,
on the part Of this people, shows real
purpose for peace aud reform. The
present Representatives and county oS-
GERS we're not elected in the interest of
all the people, and there can be no peace
or reform until there is change. Let
the colored people generally follow the
example OF those Of York, and good
results will follow:
"Reso7ced, That we, the colored peo-
pie Of this county, earnestly desiring
the restoration Of peace and harmony
throughout the country, and the perpet
uatiou Of kind feelings and true friend
ship among all classes-both white and
black-do hereby request the members
ofthe Legislature-our immediate rep
resentatives-the Probate Judge, the
School Commissioner aud the County
Commissioners, to resign their respect
i've Offices, believing that such action,
and such ouly, on their part, will secure
and place the object Of our desires on
lasting basis"

MYsTERY.-On Friday of last week, says
the Boston Herald, during squal, four men
landed on Salisbury Beach, in a small boat
which was capsised and stove in while landing.
The men had four large chests and large dun.
mage bags, which they hauled ashore. Subse-
quently they broke into one of the summer
houses on the beach, where they spent the
night. The next day three of the men walked
to the village and sent team after their bag
gage, upon the arrival of which at the railroad
depot they all took the cars for Portland. They
appeared to be foreigners, their answers to
questions were evasive, and their stories did
not agree. 1t is thought that they belonged to
a vos-ef that WIS fouut abanuUued in tie har-
Dor last week.
