its debaters, until one morning when there
was a question under consideration that
touched the interest OF his city, he rose in his
place and addressed the House in manner
that surprised everybody but his friends, and
carried conviction. From that hour he
was ranked by the last House as among its
ablest members, and the Portland merchants

Letter from Brunswick.
BRUNSWICK, Jan. 10, 1871


To the Editor Of the Press.
1t may be of some interest to the patrons Of
your paper to know that, owing to the great
care and honest prudence of our people, we
have not had fire in Brunswick or Topsham
since Jan. 21st, 1862 two whole years; and on
]y one false alarm, caused by the burning Of a
brush camp built by some boys. We had four
teen fires and alarms during the eight months
previous to the two years now past. Can any
other two towns in the State show record
like this?
A fine brick block has recently been erected
by Messrs. Lemont & Decker, on the corner Of
Main and Pleasant streets. On the lower floor
are three first class stores; on the second floor
is large and very pleasant hall, with a ca
pacty of about one thousand persons; and in
the third story, or French roof is very spa
cious room which will probably be finished
and occupied by the Free Masons. The Hal
M. G. A., assisted by The Portland Glee Club
The cost OF the building was $685. 900.
Parties have been harvesting some of the
best ice ever cut on the river. It is seventeen
or eighteen inches thick and clear as a crystal
The majority of our citIZens are opposed to thu
measure before the Legislature, retitioning {
right to set off Brunswick from Cumberland
and unite it Sagadahoc; for with part of tbei
county buildings to erect we should be jump
ing from the frying pan into the fire; and thel
we do not wish our connection with Portland
severed.
Great interest is still shown here in religion
affairs, and the people are also aiming for
greater degree of excellence in worldly affairs
Yours truly, A CITIZEN.

Political Notes,

The Bangor Wing, speaking of the members
of the House who voted for Gel. Chamber
lain for Senator, though he was the candidate
of neither party, says:
The two gentlemen from Portland are enti-
tied to credit for their faithful support of the
gentleman, to the influence of whose name
they are indebted for an election, and we
hope their honorable course will elicit just
acknowledgment from the Portland Adver-
tiser. This praise of their consistency is oil
course predicated upon the supposition that
they lefrai,.ed from participating in the resu
lar caucus of their party, as being previously
pledged, course which Mr.. Hill OF Brown
field, did not deem it necessary to pursue, il
we correctly recall the vote of the Republican
caucus, as having included all the Republican
members of the House, who made the nomin
alton of Senator Morrill, unanimous on motion
of Mr.. Robe.
The Minnesota Legislature on Thursday
elected William Window U. S. Senator for thu
long, and q. P. Stearns for the short term.
