To the Editor OF the Press:
A recent number of the Presque Isle Sun
rise estimated the inning ration into the county
the present season, including the Swedes,
would be at least twenty five hundred. con-
TESS thought the editor some considerably out
of the way in his estimate. l knew very Wen
that large body of Swedish emigrants were
expected and that people from "out SIDE were
almost daily seeking locations, but twenty hve
hundred l thought rather "steep'-and in one
season now believe the editor not very tar
from right. The Swedes are coming in, in
small squads, from tw anty to thirty or forty at
time, almost every week. The most of them
land at ST. Johns, come up the river by steam
and tow-bolt to the village of Tobique, six
miles east of this place. whence they are trans
ported by team to New Sweden. Not all stop
there however. The most of them have
means and locate elsewhere, purchasing farms
already cultivated. THEY are getting to be
pretty much all around us, and if they keep
coming as they have been, l do not know
but the question will be, whether zoe are going
to be S,cedenazed or they Americanized. But
let them come. There is room and to spare
they will make good citizens. They are moral
and religious, industrious and laborious. A
better class of emigran,s-and have come in
contact with thousands-I never saw.
Besides these, there is an unusual influx of
our OWn people from abroad. The facility with
which lands can be bought and paid for-ther
exceeding cheapness the never failing fertli-
| ty of the soil, the abundance of our crops
the increased means of INSTRUMENTATION
with the "Outside" world, the almost absolute
| certainty of railroad through the very centre
| OF our county, at day very nigh at hand.
| These and other causes which might be emu
merated, have induced an immigration, besides
that of the Swedes, such as Aroostook never
has known before. A gentleman from Castle
Hill plantation, not far from Presque Isle, in.
forms me that lots for fifty families have been
taken up this season in township adjoining
| that To quote his owni language, 'the immi.
| grafton up our way is about equal to that Of
| the Swedes, but we don't make so much fuss
about it," And that is not the only township
by any means, from which we hear of some
what similar accounts. So L am inclined to
think that the Sunrise was not so wide off thu
mark when he estimated an increase to oul
population Of twenty-five hundred, at the least
The crops are looking splendidly-never saw
them better. Frequent showers have mad,
everything grow. The farmers have just com
| menced hayiDg More grass will be cut thar
| ever before. l noticed some days ago that the
| corn had begun to spindle. Do you do bette
| than that outside? E.

CHARLES P. KIMBALL, democratic candi-
date for Governor of Maine, has been inter-
viewed by one of the indefatigabes of the
Boston Post. He avowed himself a lifelong
Democrat-a Douglas Democrat IN 1850 and a
Mcclellan Democrat in 1864. The converse
ton proceeded:
CoRREsPoNDENT-You are in favor, then,
of the so-called new departure?"
Mr.. KIMBALL, livery composedly)-I express
ed myself just as feel with regard to that in
my letter OF acceptance.
AS Mr.. Kimball did not express himself at
all on that point in his letter of acceptance, or
If at all, very ambiguously, it is no wonder he
answered the correspondents query "very
composedly." Mr.. Kimhall wants to come be-
fore the people as laboring man and me-
chanic. Then don't let him labor so much in
framing his replies to ordinary questions, or
endeavOr to avoid the responsibility thereof

How IT IS DoNE.-The New York Times
says the way the the treasury of that city is
plundered is as follows:
A man does some work for the city authori-
ties and charges $4,000 orit. When he presents
his bill, one Of Connolly's agents says to him,
''We can't pay this, but make the amount
$55 900 aud you shall have your money at once
A warrant is drawn for $55 00O and iUdorsed
by the presenter of the bill over to j. III. Inger-
soil. He then re ceives i've $1,000 bills, and the
ting pockets the $50, 600 That this is done
every day, and done on scale which will sta, :

prove beyond all doubt before we have com.

"When hearts whose truth was proven,

THE tone of the Irish and Catholic press of
New York is brutal and villainous without ex-
ception. The Boston Pilot, alone of the Cath
olc press, discusses the question with COM
mendable candor. The following poem from
the Irish Democrat, may be taken as sample
of the entertainment:
Threescore hearts rot in the grave-hreescore souls
to judgment gone
That an orange rag may wave Freedoms sacred soil
upon;
Would the day had never dawned-would that God
eclipsed the sun
That hath seen the glory pawned of the land of
ingtOn.
Pampered magnates! men of greedi-spawu OF brag.
CART chivalry!
Ye have sown the poison seed OF the poison Upas
tree,
Which shall grow in size and strength, breathing
death throughout the land,
Till lis shadow shall at length darkly loom from
strand to strand.
Hol ye blood-stained, pseudo-bravesl decked in
panOply OF war
Vile assassns! coward knaves heartless cravens that
We arel
Give us back the lives you've ta'en. All! tits useless
to implo' O.;
BE the blood Of the slain on your hands for ever.

THE Coroner's jury began an inquest, Mon.
day, on the victims of the Irish, by EXAMINING
few witnesses and then rendering verdict
upon three parties that they came to their
death by gunshot wounds at the hands of
parties unknown to the jury, and was then
discharged. This is both farce and fraud.

In connection with the course of the Irish
American journals, the New York Herald
says:
Of all things to be avoided in this country by
the Catholic church is political quarrel with
the Protestant churches; of all things to be
av )ided by the Democratic party is religious
agitation with the Republicans. Both these
dangers are now threatened by these foolish
Irish Americans seeking vengeance" against
the Catholic clergy and the Democratic sa-
cbems of this city to look into this matter, for
to the church and the party it is matter of
life or death.

SUSPICIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF WOMAN
AT FRANKLIN, N. H.-A Mrs Flagg has dis
appeared. When last seen she was going with
her husband, a man of reported evil name, to
the Merrimac river, ostensibly for the purpose
of fishing. That was on the evening of the
18th inst, since which time no tidings of any
kind have been obtained relating to her. Her
father has been to Flagg, but the latter refuses
to give him any information concerning the
missing woman. He has, however, told one
person that she had gone to work in mill at
Manchester, but telegram was sent to that
city, and it was found that she had not been
there On Friday evening the Selectmen
called upon Flagg, but he refused to give any
information, and insulted the officials During
most of the pasG week Flagg's house has pre-
sented closed aspect, and the little children
are ignorant of their mothers whereabouts
Flagg formerly lived in the South, and has re-
sided in Franklin but short time. There are
reports of an unhappy relationship having ex-
listed between himself and Mrs. Flagg and of
former marriage, with the wife still living.

The VICTORY OF THE AGRICULTURAL
BoYs.-The Boston Post in an editorial goes
into ecstacies over.the victory of theEcrew of
the Agricultural College at Amherst 1t
says:
Who would have thought that that handful
of hearty lads up among the hills of the interi
or, challenged to tug at the Oar by the same
Harvard that pluckily crossed the Atlantic to
contest for the bays with the Oxfords of Eng
land, would have put the six cups in their
pockets the very first time They must have
been as much surprised at their achievement
as the Harvard itself In the pools Amherst
held such modest place; there was pile OF
money for those who knew just enough about
it to believe more and the bright eyes of beau
ty shone for the Harvard and Brown alone;-
but between the prize cup and the lip there
was small slip; and the boys with the berry
brown faces, in whose tough young muscles
the yellow corn bread had entered as a saving
element, whose nerves had not been sapped or
shaken, and whose good red blood coursed
through healthy channels from the heart to
the extremities, pulled right away from their
proud contestants and shot ahead to victory as
if there was no place for them any where else.
