THE idea of the Portland PRESS that the
State must do nothing to promote the growth
of manu- actures, because forsooth it might
thereby add to the wealth and population Of
the State, is one that we hardly supposed
would be advanced in sober earnest.-Kenne-
bee Journal.
We hardly supposed any reputable paper in
the State capable of such gross misrepresen-
tation as the above. We will pay 800 cash
to the person producing TO ms any copy of the
PRESS taking the ground attributed to us by
the journal.

DEMOCRATIC CLUB.-The Democrats Of the
city met at Old City Hall Saturday evening
and organized club for the purposes Of the
spring campaign. A preliminary meeting was
held several evenings since, at which COM
mittee was chosen to report the list Of officers
for organization Saturday night.
The meeting was called to order by Mr.. Ezra
Carter, when Mr.. w. H. Walker, chairman of
the above named committee, reported the
names of the following gentlemen who were
unanimously elected as officers of the club:
President William H. Clifford
Vice Presidents-WaIds 1, William Curtis.
q Jas. Quinn; 8, William G. Davis; 4. Charles
H. Fling; g. A X. Shurtleff; 6, A. w. Brad
bury; z, Charles B. Varney.
Secretary George l.. SWEET.
Treasurer-Thomas Means.
Upon taking the chair Mr. Clifford made
sensible little speech, declaring that organiza-
ton and work alone vindicate the purpose of
the Democracy of Portland, and that with
these the city can be carried as it has been car
ried several times under even more unfavora-
BILE circumstances.
Upon motion of Mr.. Charles p. Kimball the
officers of the club were constituted as an Ex-
ecutlve Committee for all campaign purposes,
and after several short speeches by various
gentlemen the club adjourned.

MUNICIPAL ELEcTIoN-On the 9th of
March, three weeks from 10 day, our munich
pal election takes place. Last year the vote
was 2465 for Kingsbury, Republican, and 2245
for Putnam, "Citizens' candidate" Kings
bury's majority, 22O. The Republicans had a
majority of in the board of aldermen and
in the Common Council, though it has since
appeared that the City Council presents more
difficulties to one undertaking political clas-
si6cation than probably any other delibera-
tive assembly that ever existed. In 1859 the
vote for Mayor was Democratic 2241, Repub-
lican 2096. At present there does not appear
to be the slightest probability that the expert
ment of 1869 will be repeated.

iriative in the matter. 1t should at once, seeing
how matters stand and that some change must
be made. make formal proposition to build the
needed streets, and to set about the work forth

would doubtless meet the hearty approyal of ey-

quarters that change be made, and would be
influential with the railroad authorities.

About forty five years ago there lived in

Rachel Lander and Cynthia Larrahee, About
that time they took notion to go to Dexter a

houses and one small store, to visit friend
They travelled on horseback, both girls on one
horse, following an obsure path and guided by
spotted trees. After making their visit they
started for bone, but night coming on it was
dark and they lost their path. In this extremi-
ty they climbed into a tree aud sat and slept
among its branches "till morning light ap
