Grand Republican Rally
at WaterviIle.
HON. HENRY WILSON SPEAKS
ON THE OCCASION.

Natersile, 4. Senator Wilson addressed
the republicans of the upper Kennebec this
evening at Town Hall. Tie people came in
from all the towns around. The Senator was
escorted to the hall by the Watervilie Tan
ners and Zouaves numbering two hundred
and fifty torches, headed by the Kendalfs
Mills Band. The meeting was presided over
by Hon. E. F. Webb. Senator Wilson was
received with great demonstration and ap
plause. He reviewed in forcible manner
the history of the two great parties, showing
tha, the new coalition was not in harmony
with the great commercial, manufacturing
and laboring Interests OF the United States
that it was strongly antagonistic to the sol
der sentimt Mt and was daily growing more
So that it was hostile to the interests Of the
colored population and would probably moi
receive one per cent of the colored vote tina,
the young men of the country who were not
old enough to go to the war, had read and
watched with great Interest the men who had
tried to destroy the country and those who
had tried to save it, and they we're going TO
cast their ballot for the republican party, that
such was their better feeling, and that the
benevolent and religious sentiment of the
country was in favor of the republican party,
and that the whole thing was making no head
way, but losing ground. He congratulated
the republicans of Maine on the great tri-
umph in the Green Mountain State, and hoped
the same glorious news would be sent from
this State on Monday next. The best feelings
prevailed. Senator Wilson was followed by
exGoy. II. P. Morrill, and Hon. J. II. Rice
in an able and effective speech

follows:

Weslbrook, and keeping number of cows,
was surprised one morning to find that they
had been MIXED by some one not connected
with the family. The next morning they were
found in the same condition. A watch was
then placed in the barn to solve the mystery,
if possible, and at early dawn man was
seen to creep from beneath the hay and crawl
toward the cows, proceed to milk them, and
dirk the tactical fluid. He was arrested, and
it was found both feet had been frozen. He
could not give any account Of himself, and
though he had organs of speech and the in
telhgence to use them, scarcely ever spoke,
cohfning himself to the monosy liable Yes,

was a fine looking man, apparently twenty
five ears old at the time of his discovery
his hands in particular were small and white,
resembling lady's. For over twenty years,
while he has been on the farm, all efforts to
get him to,speak OF give any account of him

times boistrous in his demeanor, and at 9TH

not be induced to keep any clothing on ms
