East Dennis is a poor place for doctors and
lawyers. correspondent says: Such is the
healthiness OF the people, that one son of Escu-
lapius would never grow plethoric here. And,
whewl lawyer might as well try to live by his
profession in paradise, as here, for the inteli-
gence, urbanity and unanimIty of the people
make lawsuits an impossibility. We are happy
to say, also, that liquor dealing, dram drinking,
private feuds, rowdysm and the like evils have
no place amongst us. The good people here
would no more allow such moral nuisances than
they would tolerate so many rattlesnakes."
HAMPDEN COUNTY.
The following, from Mondays Springfield
paper, applies TO class not confined to that
city: Probably the worst class of loaferS
which defiles any locality is that which assem-
bles on the benches in front Of Allis wooden

breath, and eject their foul tobacco juice upon
ladies passing by on their way from church.

MAINE.
The democracy of Maine will convene in Au.
gusta on the 9th inst. for the nomination of
candidate for governor; and the unusual in.
terest that is excited by the event throughout
the state is due to the existing condition of pot-
zeal matters and the new stimulus impaired by
the partial triumph of the democracy in New
Hampshire. The recent action, too, of the dem.
ocrats of Ohio, Pennsylvania Iowa and other
states animates those of Maine to make unusual
efforts for full vote at the approaching cleo
ton. 1t is probable that Charles b. Kimball, OF
Portland, will be candidate for governor.

Ware Butterield of Concord has now the in.

Mr.. Butterfeld is gentleman OF unquestioned
ability and fitness for the position. For several
years he has been one Of the most influential
leaders of the young democracy faction.
Senator Holbrook, of the Manchester district
is now in Concord, and although not fully re-
covered, is able to attend to his official duties
The democrats are feeling badly because Samuel
b. Page, one of their abest representatives, is
still confined to his house and considered to be
seriously i'll.
The Boston journal editoriaIlv remarks that
it has good authority for stating that the demo-
Gratis offered Senator Smith five thousand dol
lars, which he promptly refused. Although but
week in power, the democracy have already
given proof that they have not forgotten their
old tricks. The force of habit is powerful, and
we suspect that the force of democratic habit is
little stronger than anything else known
Inc large block of tenementS belonging TO
Hubbard & Elliott, and situated on the corner OF
Pearl and Chestnut streets, Manchester, was very
badly damaged by fire last Monday. The build.

feet 1t is believed that the FIRE was purposell

New Hampshire politicians are excitable and
use some hard words. The Coos Republican is
very severe in its comments on the course pur.
sued by james Legro, republican representa-
tive from Lancaster, who has thus far uniformly
voted with the coalition party in the house. AS
the republican is published at the home of Le-
gro, II may be supposed to know whereof il
speaks. That paper says that "the treason of
Mr; Legro to the republican party and its prin-
clples is full and complete. He has put on
Harry Bingham's collar, had the mark of his
treachery stamped upon his forehead and num-
bered upon his ballot, and is now as completely
the property of the democratic party as though
he was bale of merchandise sold and delivered
When he records his vote it is not with the ex.
preston of his will, but of those who have
