IRON ORE-We have seen large
quantities of Iron Orc that have been
plowed up or dug up from the lands in
this vicinity, and some specimens were
excellent except that the large perccn.
tage of Slick destroyed their value for
smelling purposes. A specimen Of vel.
low ocher orc that is as pure as any We
ever saw in the celebrated hanging rock
iron region of Ohio, has recently been
left in our office by A. b. Leeds Esq;
and if there is to be found in this vicin-
ity any considerable quantity of this
kind of ore, it will prove a mine of inn
mense wealth. The specimen we should
judge was about sixty per cent, iron,
and it is of q class that is most econom
ically smelted 1t is more profitable to
work this class of ore than the richer
iron ores, particularly when fuel is ex-
pensiye. The large quantities of iron
in our soil has largely to do with the
unexampled success of our orchardists,

A FIEND.-Dorris Deekman was committed
for trial at Dutch Kills, L. l., for deliberately
starving to death his daughter, Anne, eleven
pears of age. One of the witnesses testified
that she saw the mother knock AnEe down
only day or two before with stick of wood
while she was begging for bread, and then kick
her down stairs, the child at the time not hav-
ing strength to arise. At another time she
dragged the girl around by her hair, tearing
large punches from her head. On the day of
her death she saw her standing by the stove
with her arm around it, entirely naked, beg
ging for something to eat, and the inhuman
mother dragged the child from its temporary
warmth and thrust it into cod room, without
anything for covering, without bed even of
straw to lie upon, or even chair. A few hours
later tie child was found there dead. The
screams of the girl could be heard through the
entlre neighborhood while the brutal mother
ana no less brutal stepfather were whipping it.

Gov. CHAMBERLAIN AND IHE Por1rr.
CIANs.-The Somerset Reporter, one of the
ablest papers in the State, has the following
notice Of Gov. Chamberlan's retirement from
Office:
Last Thursday Gen. Chamberlain closed
his official career as Governor, which the peo
pie had prolonged four years. As he retires
to private life, he carries with him the re-
CARDS of largr majority Of the people of all
parties. His administration, like all human
works, may have its faults; but the general
verdict of the people is, that Maine will be
fortunate beyond measure if her chief masi-
istrates are as well qualified and capable IS
Gen. Chamberlain.
Sour and sore headed politicians, for once
out ol Office, have attempted to use the strength
of his personal popularity, to make bin the
leader oil an independent political organization
and his utter silence has given many honest
men the idea that he was hesitating what to
do, but later developments show that he not
only turned deaf ear TO their entreaties, but
refused to have any lot or part in SO base an
act of treachery. Had they been open and

A FAIR STATEMENT.-So many people
have deliberately misrepresented the purport
Of paragraph which lately appeared in this
paper that is with peculiar satisfaction that
we find the Bangor Wing, with its usual can
dor and fairness, calls attention to these mali
cious perversions of our language. The Whig
having criticised the Adoertiser for its sweep
ing aspersions upon a large majority of the
Legislature because they did not vote fol-
Chamberlain's nomination, the latter paper
made ptitul complaint because the PRESS
was not included in that criticism. Where
upon the Whig retorts:
The Adrertiser furnishes another illustra-
tion of lis apparent inability to recognize the
most palpable distinctions, by accusing us OF
Partially in failing to include the PRESS in
our criticism. 1t says, aluding to an editorial
in the latter paper:
"It is good taste the Wing thinks, for the
PRESS to call General Chamberlrins support
ers bad names, but it is in remarkably bad
taste for the Advertiser to express the opin-
ion that they acted from sense of duty! An
ingenious Wig, one would say, would be
ashamed of such bare-faced partially"
The article in the PRESS TO which the Ad.
0ertiser alludes stated that "all the judicious
friends of Governor Chamberlain" had prompt
ly recognized the validity of the popular de-
cision, but that
"a Gerry fen unprincipled politicians, how
ever, governed by their own selfish interests
and not by patriotism, have persisted iu un-
deltaking 10 reverse that decision by breaking
up the Republican party and calling in the
common enemy to decide the contest. We
are glad to say that these selfish and reckless
men Dere .few and unifvquential, not one of
them, SO far as we know, belonging to the
Legislature"
To compare this charge, severe as are its
terms towards few unidentified individuals,
with the Advertisers indictment OF the over
whelming Republican majority of the Legis-
lature and the people, is to expose at glance
the fallacy of its complaint of our unfairness.

FIRE IN CONCORD, n H.-A three story
wooden building on Minot street, Concord
was destroyed by fire at half-past twelve Sun.
day morning. The fire was no sooner seen
than the whole building appeared to be filled
with dense sufocating smoke. The upper
two stories were occupied by families, who
barely escaped with their lives. Women and
children had to be snatched out of their beds
before they could be half awakened. A Mrs.
Badger, woman some forty years of age
crazed by the alarm and smoke, threw herself
from the second story window to the frozen
ground below. It was feared when she was
taken up that she was fatally injured, but she
will probably recover. Several little children
showed great courage by standing upon the
slippery awning, or walking along the coving
OF an adjoining building, until ladders could
be procured with which to rescue them.
