sibIy unchanged siuce Monday afternoon at
the Pacific and Rocky Mountain stations. The

what below the average from the Mississippi

on Lake Erie and Ontario and has fallen from
Ohio to Missouri. Southeast winds have pre-
vailed during the day on the Atlantic coast,
and fresh north-westery winds from Kentuck v
to Wisconsin and westward. Heavy rain
storms have been reported from Illinois to
Lake Superior, and are now in progress from
Indiana to Lake Huron, with threatening
weather in Western Tennessee AID Lake On
tariO.
Probabilities Clear weather is probable for
Wednesday from Pennsylvania 10 Iowa aud
southwark. 1t is probable that threatening
and rainy weather will be experienced from
Ohio to Lake Ontario and the extreme East
ern States to night, with partially cloudy and
clear weather on Wednesday. The threaten.
ing weather which is now prevailing on the
lakes is a remnant of the storm which was at

SALE OF THE WEsTBRooK Poor HOUSE,
The terms OF division of the towns of West
brook and Deering involved the sale of the
town farm for the support of the poor. This
large aud valuable farm is situated On the
Streudwater road, and adjoins the TrOtting
Park, being but half mile from Portland line.
1t contains about fifty-five acres of land, ex-
tending from the main road to the tide water
The soil is rich, the buildings are some fifty
years old but still in good condition, aud the
farm is divided by the Cumberland and Ok
ford Canal and the Portland and Ogdensburg
railroad, into two portions The farm is par
ticularIy valuable, aside from its agricultural
purposes for its extensive front on the Stroud
water road. being about 800 feet, and for its
river front on an arm of Fore river, which may
be turned to considerable value for mauufac.
turing or commercial purposes few years
hence. The company present at the auction
sale yesterday afternoon was large and ex-
cellent one, embracing many OF the men of
capital and enterprise in the towns of West
brook aud Dsering and in the city Of Portland.
After careful reconnaissance of the land the
auctiOneer, Mr.. f. o. Bailey, in few appro-
pirate remarks offered the property and stated
the terms. The first bid made was $780, and
the bidding went on with sharp degree of
competition until it reached $11, 900, when it
wa, struck off to Messrs. Philip Henry and
John Marshall Brown. The sale was consd-
cred very favorable oDe and it was stated
that no more safe or promising an investment
could be made. 1t was expected that the town
of naet inc mo hi mn rcha sa tho nronarfv Tor tic
town farm, but it was considered too large and
valuable and one much smaller and less cost
ly would answer their purpose as well.

that the Legislature had been extravaganza and
some OF its members were corrupt He con-
demned the present election laws aud believed
that they would be repealed. He thought thst
the white people were very blameable for the

legislation because of their retusal-tO take part

vote the Democratic ticket in opposition to
their friends, the Republicans.
