A Boston N NoTIoN.-One of the sensa-
tions of the day at Boston is the coming
sale of the Deacon estate, at the corner
of Washington and Concord streets.
The house is surrounded by high
brick wall, the gates of which have
been closed for several years, while the
place has been cared for by two or three
old servants, who are mysterious as the
house itself. The house is fitted up in
the most gorgeous style, and it is said
to contain the finest specimens of med
ieval furniture in the country, one OF
the salons being furnished entire with
the furniture of room in the Mont
morenci palace, purchased in Paris in
1S4S. Some of the finest and most val
liable paintings on this side of the At
lantic decorate the walls of its princi-
pal rooms, among them originals by
Isabey, Duchesne, Boucher and Saliva
tor Ross. This is so, because the auc
tioneer affirms it.

The State Campmeeting.


The public religious services of the Maine
State Methodist Campmeeting at Richmond
opened on Tuesday evening by the presenta-
ton of sermon by the presiding officer, Rev.
Mr.. Pratt of Orono. His text was ''Tarry at
Jerusalem" This sermon was a very fitting
Introductory and illustrated the need of both
laity as well as ministry tarrying for the en-
dowment of the holy ghost. Wednesday, A..
NJ, Rev. j. b. Lapham of Saco preached from
LIST Peter 30, "Be we holy" He first dwelt
upon the exhortation in favor of holiness.
Then that it was one Of Gods great designs
that men should be holy. Also that holiness
is in harmony with all we see of Gods works,
and lastly that purity requires it. 7. NJ, Rev.
Ammi S. Prince of Hamden p reached from 2
Cor. viii Z. This sermon contained many
practical incentives to holiness andwas follow
ed by an approach to the altar of some thirty
persons who were seeking the blessing Many
testified to having received this blessing last
year and lost it, but yet were earnestly seeking
it again. One black lady from New York
spoke and sung in very interesting manner.
There are about 250 tents on the ground.
The committee wish me to add that persons
can come from Boston and go back, for one
fare on the trains, viz. $500. JApEz.

some Wonderful Dogs.

AUGUSTA, Aug. 8, 1871.
A friend of mine while at Cape Elizabeth
last week, called to see Capt. Waldron and
his four dogs. The captains wife seated her
self at the piano, and commenced to play.
The dogs began to sing. The largest sang
bass, while the others sang very good alto,
tenor, &c. You would be surprised to hear
how nicely they sang. Mrs. w. then played
a waltz, they danced splendidly. Captain now
says "Come, old fellow, we are tired" The
pet then lays down and is sound asleep, to all
appearance. Why, he is dead! He shakes
him, beats and throws him about; no life in
him. Now, sir, up he starts, and jumps into
his mistress lap. She commenced to cry, he
initiated her, howls and cries. Then the Cap
tain cries, over he goes to him, cries till they
begin to laugh; then away he capers. The
oldest is famous watch dog. They give him
the post office keys he goes to the mail. The
clerk puts the letters in his mouth and he
brings them home. Will do all their market
ing, never offering to touch anything. We
came away very much pleased with our visit.
forgot to mention the Captains splendid
cabinet, filled with elegant and rare shells,
stuffed birds and ducks, specimens of gold
from California, roots of all kinds, and great
many curiosites l cannot now think of. C.

future wars means necessary for their prose-
cution, and shall as required, be collected
from the wealth of the country, and not en-
tailed on the future exergences of labor.
Seventh, by adopting an Indian policy, found
ed on national Justice, by which many vaua-
BILE lives and many millions of money may be
annually saved. Eighth by holding legisla-
tors to a more rigid accountability, by re-
quiring submission to the annexation of ter
ritory and other fundamental laws affecting
the general interests of society to a vote of
the whole people. Ninth, by prohibiting inn
portation of coolies or other servile labor,
and protecting labor from all unnecessary
burdens. Tenth, by encouraging co-opera-
tive efforts and building up of manufacturing
industries throughout the country. Eleventh.
by granting general amnesty and restoring
the union at once on basis of an equality of
rights and privileges to all classes and inter-
ests, an important administration of justice
being the only true bond of union to bind
States together, and engage the affections of
the people to the government. Twelfth, by
the creation of board of management of
currency and revenue, to consist of such
number of intelligent business men as may
be necessary to transact the fiscal affairs of
the government, which board shall be charged
with the execution of all laws relating to the
collection of and disbursement of revenue and
regulation of currency, and empowered to
have one right of clerical force and other
officers and agents required in the discharge
of all duties pertaining to this department.
The same rule is to be applied to post office
and other departments as far as may be prac-
ticable, the secretaries of the departments to
be presidents of such boards.

THURSDAY, August 10Th.
The proceedings in court to-day scarcely
afford an item of public interest. The jury
made short work with Cove, having agreed a
upon verdict Of guilty without minutes con-
sultation. The State prison will be the abode
of this monster for the rest of his mortal life,
and it will be blessed institution if it pro-
tects the community from the contamination
of his beastly vices.
The day has been wholly occupied in the
trial of Francis Allen Spaulding indicted for
committing rape at Hallowell on the 18th of
May last. The case excites a good deal OF
interest in the neighborhood where the affair
took place, but we are sure the public will
not thank us for disclosing the testimony in
such a case. Pillsbury and jackson defend
the prisoner. The case will not probably be
given to the jury until tomorrow.

Further Details OF the Railroad Accidents.

Unlike many first reports of disasters, the
kilograms published by us yesterday did not
overstate the facts in regard to the terrible
nature of the accident near Bangor. There
are few facts which have been received
since.
Two of the passenger cars smashed be-
longed to the Eastern Railroad, and one to
the Maine Central. The Pullman car, the
only one left on the track, was about one
third over the broken bridge, its front trucks
dropped into the road beneath, and the front
end was crushed from beneath. The Wing
says that the scene in the cars was frightful.
The passengers were piled in heaps, covered
with broken seats and the cry that rose from
the struggling masses of humanity is said to
have been appalling. Fortunately the kero-
sene lamps in the cars were nearly all ex-
tinguished, so the wreck did not take fire,
but in the dim twilight it was hardly posi-
BILE to ascertain the extent of the disaster.
AS soon as those uninjured could release
themselves, the search for the injured COM
menced. AS we have before stated, it
seemed impossible for any one to es-
cape alive, so completely were the cars
smashed up, but the train was not as full as
usual, which lessened the number of the in
jured. AS it was, hardly persons in the
train but was hurt more or less. Axes.
picks and bars were brought holes cut in the
side of the cars where necessary, and the
work of extricating the passengers shut in by
the wreck was pursued with great vigor. The
bridge, the breaking of which by the engine
caused the disaster, is common trestle
bridge of some so feet span and about 20 feet
from the roadway, which it crosses. 1t was
built some Is years ago.
In addition to the list of casualties we have
the following:
f. w. Hilton, Conductor of the Pullman
car, arm wrenched and bruised.
Miss N. M. Billings, South Birmingham,
Mass, head and left arm bruised.
