A Good Investment.

The bonds OF the European and North Amer
lean Railway, which we advertise to-day, con-
stitute one of the best and safest securities in
which to make investment of all that are pre-
scented to the public. The reasons that can be
given for this belief are many. First, it is
home bond, under the protection of our courts
and laws, and not located in a far off and per-
haps regulating community. Second the
security is ample, being upon the only line
connecting the Provinces with the United
States, fifty-eight miles of completed road, and
upon 40 townships of land. There is also a
SIM ing fund arising from the sale of the lands,
TO pay the bonds at maturity. A little figuring
will show the holder of $1,000 U. S Bond
that he can exchange it for $1,000 bond of this
road, get 5000 or more in cash, and continue to
receive his six per cent, in gold as before. Any
one who looks for higher interest must expect
to take poorer security, and thus peril his
investment. See advertisement in this paper.

The Loss or THE MERRIMAC. A let
ter from Capt. j. N. Nichols, of Sears
port, Of the barque Merrimac, of Boston,
which was run into and sunk by the Gu
nard steamship Aleppo, below Boston,
gives the following particulars OF the dis
aster:
On the Goth of April, when thirteen miles
from Boston Light, with the MinotS Rock
light bearing four miles distant, the Merrmac
was run into by the Aleppo and sunk in just
thirteen minutes after the collision, in twenty
three fathoms of water All of the crew saved
themselves by climbing over the steamers bow
to her deck, the barque and everything on
board being total loss. A boat was put off
from the Aleppo for the purpose of saving the
barque's papers and few other things. but
she went down before the men could reach her.
There was a thick fog at the time, and Capt.
Nichols stated that he sounded his fog horn
every minute from the time he first heard the
steamers whistle until the moment of collision
In fifteen minutes after hearing the whistle
the steamer struck the barque. The Merrim,e
was then lying becamed, and the officers in
charge on deck had not had stecrage way on
her for two hours previous to the accident.

Tho Belfast Journal expresses the opinion
that "Gen. Sherman was the real conqueror of
the last rebellion" O, of course! But he
hasn't joined the Ku-KluX, as the Journal and
the Portland Advertiser suppose. He didn't
make that speech. Portland Press.
Well, let it pass, for the moment, that
he didn't We will make our point in
another way, and one that even the Press
will not dispute the historical correctness
Of On the 18th of April, 1865, the rebel
Gen. Johnston surrendered his whole
force to Gen. Sherman, in North Carolina.
The terms were the surrender of arms;
their political rights to be guaranteed
no person to be disturbed so long as he
lived peaceably; the State governments
to be recognized; the Supreme Court to
settle all conflicting questions. These
statesmanlike terms, which would have
filled the rebels with gratitude, and awak-
ened anew their patriotism, were rejected
at Washington, by special advice of Gen.
Grant.
We didn't say that Gen. Sherman had
joined the Ku Klux But it is evident
that he, as the real conqueror of the re-
bellion, joined at an early day the ranks
of those men of brains and reflection who
desire to treat the upholders of the lost
cause rs men and not as irrational brutes );
and who do not desire to see Poland, a
Hungary or an Ireland in the South, when
we can as we'll have happy, willing and
patriotic citizens.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY NEAR PORTLAND.
On Tuesday the 9th, about II O'Clock,
Mr. Sawyer called on Mr.. Hitchings in
Portland, the conductor of the road, and
received from him n check for $4,000 on
the Second National Bank of this city.
After getting the check cashed he started
for West Ossipee in light skeleton wag-
ON, and had the $4,000 in a large pocket
book placed in the inside of his overcoat
while he had about $500 in large bills in
the wallet in his undercoat. He dined at
West Gorham, stopped a few minutes at
Cornish, but did not 90 into the hotel in
the latter village. When just this side of
Porter, three men sprang from the bushes,
and one stationed himself at the horses
head, another presented pistol at Mr.
Sawyers head, while the third seized him
by the coat collar The man with the
pistol demanded of Mr. Sawyer that he
should give up his money or he would
blow his brains out. Mr.. s. said he had
none; Whcreupon the man who had hold
of his coat collar pulled him out of the
wagon backwards, and the man with the
pistol Immediately seized both wallets
showing that he must have had some
knowledge of Mr.. Sawycrs having the
money beforehand. They then, having
secured the funds, let their victim mp, and,
telling him that they would blow his
brains out and throw him into the river
if he attempted to follow them, disappear
ed. The whole affair was the work of
only a few moments. Mr.. Sawyer then
seized his horse, quietly grazing near by,
and drove as quick as he could to the
nearest house. 1t is the most daring af-
fair that has taken place for many years
in Maine. 1t was attempted to keep the
matter quiet, with the hope Of catching
the robbers, but the news leaked out YES
tcrday. Marshal Clark left for the scene
Of the robbery yesterday afternoon.

At Sea in a Boat.

The statement of Captain Griffin of the
.chooner LlIias is coToborated by Mr.. J. B..
Caddrll, mate of the British brig Elizabeth
Ann, whose captain was arrested at the same
time rs Can't. Griffin. After narrating the I'M
pisonment of the two captains and visit to
them, Mr.. Caddell says
Returning to the vessel the mate had a con-
~ultton with several American and English
captains. and ii was decided that ii would
possibly lead to the release Of the captains if the
mates Of the two vessels were to flee the Island.
AT 5 o'clock the same evening the two mates
consequently left in the schooner Lillias' boat,
fitting her out with SAIL compass, chart and
provisions sufficient TO carry them to Elbow
Cay. e miles distant. Before they Were out
>ilr of Sagua The boat shipped sea which
washed out their provisions. For several days
previous there had been heavy winds from cast
aud northeast, creating terrific sea. When
the boat filled they broke their compass and
had to steer by the north star that night. In
the morning at 80 they found Soundings on
the Kew Salt Bank. wind moderated and the sea
became smooth. Then Mr.. Cadlell was able
to look TO the fixing of the compass which he
succeeded in getting TO work again. Then
hey shaped their course w. n. W., and stand
mg on made Elbow Cay light at s 80 that
evening. During the night they Were repeat
eddy in most trying positions and their lives
CHddeli made arrangements by which his
captain, when released, should pass the island
with the Elizabeth Ann and he board her in
the yawl boat. Eight days was the Time speci-
lied TO remain there. At The expiration of that
time Mr. Caddcl and Mr.. IIaines, not being
able 10 get provisions and believing that their
captains We're unable to escape, left Elbow Cay
and shaped their course for Cape Florida.
After they left the island they sighted and
spoke the American brig Emma c. Strout,
bound from Cardcna> for Boston. The officers
IF the brig could give no information regarding
the Elizabeth Ann and Lilias, and 50, after
being supplied with provisions, they continued
on their course for Cape Florida; which was
Then 81 miles distant When half the passage
was made they We're picked up by the brig
Pomona and brought to New York, where they
landed on the 2Sth of April, after being out
from Sagua TWENTY-FIVE days. The trying
scenes these men passed through, the exposure
and hard,hips they endured, had very per-
reptihlc feet upon them and greatly weakened
their constitutions. Upon arriving in New
York Mr.. EaddelI learned that his vessel had
cleared from Sagua for Portland and the
schooner Lillia> for Baltimore. Mr.. lIaines
took passage for the latter city and Mr.. Ciddell
came TO Portland which is also the city he
halls from.

The fashion of shooting for real or
fancied injuries has just received another
severe blow in Blair County, Pa, where
a man took on fit of momentary insanity,
and shot another one for alleged intimacy
with his wife. The wounded man did
not die, however. The shooter was in
dicted for an attempt at murder. Judge
Taylor charged the jury that the evidence
sustained the Indictment, and placed this
stumbling-block in the path Of the .justili-
cation theory-"Admitting all that was
charged against the man shot, will any
jury pretend that a private citizen has
right to administer punishment that the
law has no right to administer ?" 1t
didn't take the jury long to bring in u
verdict of guilty.
The letter from Capt. Griffin, of sch.
Lillias, of Stockton, which we publish to-
day, details an outrage upon our flag and
the rights OF American citizens which de-
mands the prompt interference of the
United States. The Spanish government
has always dealt with our people in an
overbearing and tyrannical manner, SEEM
ing to regard us as too spiritlcss to resent
insults. 1t is high time that such pro-
cecdings were stopped. If the admins
tration at Washington does its duty, it
will make an imperative demand for
PREPARATION, and enforce it, too.
