master shouted to him to leave the track, but
ne would not get off. just at that moment the
AFTERNOON train from Oldtown came along and
the cow-catcher struck Campbell across the
knees, but instead of being killed outright he
was thrown upon the platform of the engine,
where he chung. When the train stopped it
was found that he had escaped with a few
wounds around one eye. Campbell is very deaf

Political Notes.

The New York Herald advises Greeley to
withdraw in favor OF Chief Justice Thompson
of Pennsylvania, since events have amply
demonstrated that he Greeley cannot secure
the united support of the Democratic party, a
condition precedent to even hope of sue
CT IS.
Noticing prediction of the New York
Tribune that Greeley would carry Ohio, the
Toledo Blade remarks: ''We consulted the
Greeley party in Toledo concerning this, and
his opinion is that it can be done if the cleo
ton can be postponed long enough. He has
another man half converted"
The Toledo Blade says the man who ate
sixty mince pies in an hour-the man who
ate sixty hard boiled eggs in thirty minutes,
and the other performers of wondrous feats
of deglutition, are all thrown in the shade by
the Cincinnati nominee, who ''has just five
months in which to swallow the utterances
Of twenty yearsp' 81
Hon. James Lyons of Virginia, has written
a letter to Col. Mosby, expressing his hearty
concurrence in the political views of the lat

Greeley and Grant, he will support Grant.
He hopes, however, that the Baltimore Con-
vention will nominate some one for whom
they can all vote, ''and not commit what
Senator Ferry calls Midsummer madness"

DESTRUCTIVE FLOOD IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

DESTRUCTIVE FLOOD IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
"A special to the Boston Journal from Little
ton, n. H., says: A
The most destructive freshet ever known in
this region occurred at Whitefield Monday
night At haf-past six o'clock the dam of
ID. Kenny HaZen and Fisk's mill on ST. Johns
river, two and a half miles above Whitefield vii
lage, gave way.
This dam flows about four hundred acres of
land, and the volume of water which poured
down the valley was perfectly irresistible, TAX
ing along lot of logs from the mill. r. 4
The vast current next carried away the dam
and logs at G. w. & n. w. Libbey's mill half
mile below; at Whitefield village it made
general sweep, carrying off houses, barns, mills,
dams, lumber and BRIDGES including j. A. Lib
bey's grist mill, II. G. Libbey's block, contain
ing tin shop, meat market, shoe shop and tene-
ments, L. o. Seaveys barn, M. ID. Seavey's
barn, James Haddock's barn, and Gordon
Quimby and Allard's dam, and logs and dam of
the old Beaver mill. The dam at Browns new
| mill was also broken, and a large amount of
logs and manufactured lumber carried away
The Browns estimate their loss at $3.50, 900.
The total loss from the freshet in the whole
town is not less than 100000. Every dam and
bridge on the river, for distance of eight miles,
was carried Off The track of the b. G. NJ. r. r,
between Whitefeld and Dalton, is completely
washed away for a distance of mile and a
quarter, being some of the way in the ditch and
some of the way carried into the river. The
railroad bridge stands, but is badly damaged.

Greeley has been nominated at Baltimore, as

In 1860 when the tariff was simple, the
Democratic party required 1925 to collect
every 500 of Customs duty. In 1871, when
the tariff was relatively very complicated, the
Republican party collected these duties at the
rate of So II for every 500. The Demo-
Gratis now ask for control of the Government

p THE JEWS IN RoUMANIA.-A special to the
Herald from London says that Earl Granville
seconded by the Italian government, proposes
conference of the European powers to consid-
er the course to be adopted in view of the con-
slant recurrence of the barbarous outbursts
against the Jews in Roumania and the proprie-
ty of exerting direct pressure ON the Rouman-
ian government to compel preventive measures
Prince Gortschakoff in reply to Earl Granville S
proposal, sympathizes with the prosecuted
Jews, but apprehends that the course proposed
would only excite agitation ON the Eastern
question and that therefore he is not willing to
enter into such conference. He proposes joint
note to the Roumanian government as to its in
tentions and guarantees that it can afford pro-
lection to Jews, and thinks this would awaken
it to some sense of its responsibility. Should
the reply to his proposal be unsatisfactory he
would suggest settlement OH the basis of the
treaty of 1855. Prussia takes the same ground.
The answers of the other powers are not yet
known, but it is probable that the suggestion of

Waldo County and Mr.. Hale.


To the Editorof the Press:
was considerably amused on reading criti-
cisms in our county paper, the Age, ON an item
in the PRESS as to the sentiments of the people
of this district on the denomination of Mr.. Hale
for Congress. .iL H- BIB ip-
The editor of the Age seems to think that 10
one outside of this district has any right to ex-
press an opinion or preference ON this subject,
and intimates further that you manufactured
the item referred to- L am a resident of Waldo
county, and have taken a little trouble to in
form myself as to the feelings of Republicans
in this section and will say as far as my obser-
walton goes there are as many in favor of re-
nominating Mr.. Hale as there are for Mr.
Knowlton.
In regard to the opposition to Mr. Hale's re-
nomination coming from disappointed office
seekers, it is well known that the editor of the
,Age with half dozen others in Belfast, were
candidates for the Office of Collector of Gus
toms at Belfast. Mr.. Hale told them to decide
on one of them and he would use his influence
for his appointment. That they would not do,
and man from another town was appointed.
In regard to Republicans 'bolting'' if Mr.
Hale is nominated, have not seen any who
say they Will do SO. Truly yours, u.

JOHN CoCHRANE is chairman of Greeley's
committee; and Greeley's opinion of John
Cochrane-not to mention his opinion of
Greeley-is pretty plainly given in this ex-
tract from the Tribune of October rs, 1866 !.
Gen. Cochrane has taken his stand in fact,
whatever he may profess, with those who to-
day refuse to colored Americans the right of
suffrage, whether in the North or in the
South, and will soon deny them the right of
education, the freedom of the press and (if
they darcy the right to sue and testify in
courts of Justice Let him say what he will,
the triumph of the party to which he has
apostatized is the triumph of oppression, the
Acknowledgement of a race, the branding of
our fathers as knaves or idiots in proclaiming
that all men have an inalienable right to ''life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness" and
that governments derive just powers from
the consent of the governed" Hell from
beneath is stirred to demoniac joy by the
spectacle of such treachery, and every trail
torous rufian who, in the dark dens of this
emporium, gleefully drank health and
success to JEFF. Davis, while Lees guns were
laundering at Gettysburg, or, few DAYS
later, fired draft Offices and devastated or
