Another installment of Swedes, Three large
teams loaded with Swedish immigrants with
their clumsy looking chests and baggage passed
this village on the day before yesterday en-
route for the new colony. There were some
fifty, judge two-thirds, probably, boys and
girls, and better-lOoking, heartier, healthier
and more hardy set, are never met with. They
will be an acquisition, indeed. .,
There were in town, last week, a half dozen
others from different places in our State max
ing inquiries regarding location, etc.
Mr.. Baker, recently of Houlton, has made
purchase of an important mill-privilege in the
lower part of the village, and will Immediately
put in light machinery for the manufacture Of
doors, sash, etc., in connection with cabinet
furniture.
understand that the Rev. Mr.. Washburn
of the Episcopal church, who has heretofore
ministered one-half of the time at Dalton will
hereafter make this his home and hold reeu-
larry stated services. His mnistrations have
been very acceptable. The church is putting
up rectory which, when completed, will be
one OF the very best, and the most ornamental
building in the place. ...
The call for our County Convention has not
yet, believe, been issued. 1t is understood,
however, that it will be on the 22d of August.

Rather bad hay weather, but if our farmers
succeed in getting in their crops, uniniured,

Political Notes.

The intelligence from Ohio is of the Fmost
encouraging nature. There is little doubt
now but what the Republicans will carry the
State by 10000 majority; but the legislature
ifcm the present districting of the State will
require greater effort. In most of the county
conventions the Democracy have departed
from the new departure. 20
THEcause assigned for the tender of resigna
ton asForeign Minister by Favre, was the refer
ence OF the French bishops petition for the
restoration of the Pope to his temporal power
in Rome by the French Republic,to his office.
Favre evidently believes that the Republic has
perils enough to encounter without volunteer
ing to replace any overthrow dynasty.

The latest ex-rebel explanation of the XII
Klux organization is that sometimes bands OF
mischievous boys, to brighten the negroes, have
put on DISCUSSES and played pranks, but never
otherwise than in fun. This is probably true

United States in his sworn testimoy, declar-
ed it, So all along, these stories of outrages,
cruelties and even murders are only Stories
Whatever has occurred in this direction has
only been the harmless effervescence of the
youthful spirits ofithe young Southrons! Of
cou.se, so long as it is done for mere amuse-
ment, it is no crime to make target of a

blows with clubs, or send bullet through
mans brains or hang him to tree with
badly spelled inscription over his head. Yet
tlmid men of steady habits do object to such
exhibitions of fun.

From our Correspondent,

The road from Dover to sSangerville, on the
west side of Piscataquis river, passes through
some OF the best farms in the county. On these
farms the grashoppers have done their worst
destroying every kind of crop and rendering
the surface of the earth perfectly desolate.
The farms on the east side of the Holmes hill,
Parkman, are completely stripped, while those
on the west side are uninjured. Some instan-
oes have occurred in which the attack of the
enemy has been very sudden, and in which
farmers, who fattered themselves that they
were the special favOrites of Providence, have
had their grain crops destroyed in four days.
The descent upon the farm Of Geo. S. Crockett
of Parkman was so very sudden and unexpect-
ed, that, before he was aware OF the presence OF
the foe, his grain was not worth cutting for
fodder. Fl q
