A RETURNED CONFEDERATE.

A RETURNED CONFEDERATE
There was joy and happiness at the
residence of our venerable friend,
P. w. Caspary, on lost Monday
His oldest son, Joseph, who left here
as a recruit for the I'd Louisiana In
fantry, of the Virginia army, in Feb
ruary, 1868, and who was supposed
to be dead, as nothing considered
definite had been heard from him
since the close of the war, returned
on that day. He was in Northern
prison when the war closed. Hav-
ing had some experience as a sailor
in the Confederate navy, he was
fond of the sea accordingly, upon
his release from prison he went to
sea on board of merchantmen as a
sailor, and has been on the briny
deep ever since, until the other day.
He left his ship in New Orleans. -
His father did not recognize him at
first, and would not believe for some
time that he was his son.-Man$feId
Reporter, March 25A.

Augustus Smith, living in Ran
dolph county, Missouri, has a hog
seven months old that is possessed
Of eight noses. The natural nose is
about as it is on other hogs, and about
the usual size. The seven unnatur-
al noses come out round the others.
The eyes are set so far back in the
head that the hog cannot see as it
goes forward. The ear on the right
side is twice as large as the one on
the left. The hair on the head does
not look like that of hog, but more
like that of buffalo.

In Illinois there is woman under
medical treatment who has living
snake in her stomach, and it has
been in there five years. At times
the snake becomes exceedingly rest
less, as if it desired to leave its den
in the stomach of this human being,
and Will crawl up her throat, which
throws the woman into spasmodic
commissions, her face will turn black
and her eye. balls seem as if they will
burst from their sockets. During
these spasms, the snake will lick its
tongue out of her mouth spitefully.
On recovering from these spells, she
eats heartily, but dare not eat pick
les or anything sour, as the snake
seems to go into spasms Itself.
The physician thinks he can safely
extricate it.

State Politics.
PORTLAND

The Democratic State Convention will be
held at Bangor on the 18th of June. Gen.
Roberts will undoubtedly be renominated
The Republican State Committee will meet
at Belfast ON the 10th OF May, when Inc tiihe
and place of holding the Republican CohVeh-
ton will be decided upon. Inc Time hAeu
will probably not TO anterior to the democratic
Convention. We believe it is PcItland's
"turn" to be the place of meeting.
The Republican State Convention will un-
uuestionably be mere matter of form this
year. The denomination Of Gov. Perham has
already been virtuously made by The people
We have not heard from any quarter the
slightest intimation that there will be any OBJ.
lection to his serving another term. The
opinion is expressed with great unanimity
that his official conCuet has SO far been all
that his warmest friends could desire, and
that his Stale has been faithfully and ably
served by the present Chief Magistrate.
We bave no doubt that somebody VIII re-
gard this statement of facts as ian attempt to
forestal the action of the Convention. =
There are always few people who are either
stupid or disingenuous enough to make dis
coyeries of this kind. They will be less nu-
merous than usual this year, Tor the renomi-
nation and reelection of Gov. Perham is SO
entirely foreeone conclusion that it will not
pay either his personal enemies or political
indictments to make any organized opposi.
ton. If nothing new should happen in Ell
ther State or national politics his majority
will be several thousand greater than las
year. v
