TIE DO WDOINHAM BANK ROBBERS.

Simson, Bartlett and Mcguire, the robbers
OF the Bowdoinham Bank in 1866, are very
anxious to be released. Sheriff Millay OF
Bowdoinham, is almost daily in receipt OF
letters from them or their New York friends,
containing propositions for their deliveranee.
They want pardon from the Governor, and
to secure it they are willing to refund one
half of their booty, or $4,000. The bank
losers are seriously entertaining the PROPOSE
ton, and it is not likely that petition before
long will be presented to Governor Perham
with this obJect in view. The proposition OF
the robbers is: Mcguire will give satisfac
tory bonds to the amount of $4,000 for the
privilege of going to New York in the custo-
dy of an officer. Within a specified time he
Will produce 10000, which will be paid over
on the condition that the trio shall not only
be released from prison, but shall not be held
on another indictment hanging over them for
felonously and burglariously entering the
house OF MIR. Butterfield, the cashier, and
tor assaultiug him with dangerous weapons
1t is said there was another man concerned in
the robbery, besides the trio now confined,
For certain reasons he was never arrested,
but his movements were not unknown, For

Gus to his arrest he was identified with the
New York Tammany ring, and the fact was
ascertained that he was worth 100000.

How Professor Agassiz lost some OF ms
specimens is told by correspondent with
the exploring expedition as follows; He was
at the residence of friend in the country,
and had spent day very successfully in
making delicate disseetions of fresh fish, ex-
posing internal parts. These prepared fish,
were immersed in alcohol, and committed for
safe keeping to black servant, old and
trusted, who was TO guard them sacredly.
The next day, when the Professor asked for
them, the grinning negro showed him the pan
in which they were frying. They had poured
off the alcohol, scaled and cleaned the fish,
and were frying them for the Professors
breakfast. Imagine the Professors grief;
imagine the veXation of the friend, whose
faithful servant had done the irreparabe in
jury. As for the negro himself, he of course
thought he had kept the fish carefully and pu,
them to their intended use. What are fish
good for but to eat?

Strange StOry-Curious Reports About

The Albany Argus publishes a letter
from Hanover, Germany, in which it is
stated that her Serene Highness, Princess
Alexandrowna Troubeschenef, whose
maiden name was Stratoneroskoff, was to
sail from Bremen on the 5th instant on the
New York steamer, with the intention of
going to America to join the Oneida COM
munity of Free Lovers, near Utica, in this
State. If this report be correct, her Serene
HighneSs must have already arrived on
our shores, and escaping the interviewers,
gone ancog. to her place of destination.
This is an interesting piece of fashionable
or court gossip, and our republican people
will be curious to ascertain more about il.

that he had occasion for several years
to examine rooms occupied by young
ladies for manufacturing purposes, and
he has observed that while the work
ers in one room would be very cheerful

room, who were employed on the same
kind of business, were all inclined to
be melancholy, and complained OF a
pam IN the forehead and eyes, and
were often Ill and unable to work. The
only difference he could discover in the
healthy workers was wholly white

The English Cotton Mills.

By late advices from England we notice
that the Lancashire cotton-mill owners
have decided to reduce the number OF
hours of daily labor in their establishments.
The reason given is the great advance in
the price of coal. We opine, however,
that it is not the true one. On the con.
trary, the reduction in hours has been
brought about by the high price of cotton
The new crop from America is just now
coming into market, and the English mill
owners are in reality engineering "ring
in order to lower its price. In fact, the
means used by then will not only have
the effect to lower the price of cotton, but
to raise the prices of cotton goods and
reduce the wages paid to operatives
Nevertheless, the question Of supply OF
coal in England is a very serious one.
Statists in political economy long since
foretold that about the year 1870 Great
Britain would begin to experience want
of coal, and that soon thereafter she would
be compelled to commence the transfer
OF her manufacturing machinery to the
water-poWer districts in Ireland. This
motive power would cost nothing. and
England's coal would be saved for marine
and other purposes,

The English Coal Famine.

A writer in the London Financier.
who has been making a tour of the
large coal producing counties Of Eng
land, gives a gloomy account of the
business prospect. The collieries, he
said, were full of orders and contracts,
many old ones, and at low prices, while
the men were everywhere more inclined
for recreation than for work. In fact,
they seem to manage matters SO well
that where they know their masters
have pressing contracts, they take care
that they are kept in arrears. Under
such circumstances there IS not a col
liery proprietor who will enter into any
new contracts, even at the present en-
HANGED prices, and it is the opinion of
the correspondent that the time is rap
idly approaching when a great many
industrial establishments will be
stopped for want of coal. In many in
stances it has ceased to be a question
of price. In some localities coal is not
to be had in quantities at any figure,
and often, when a manufacturer wants
one or two hundred tons week from a
coliiery, it is only as great favor, and
because he has been good customer
for many years, that twenty or fifty
tons a week are given him. AS to tax
ing any new customers, even If they
come with cash in hand, no coal pro-
prietor thinks of looking at them, This
is about the real state Of things in all
the coal districts of England, and it is
reported also of Scotland.
