date for Congress, but Takes tile stump for
Grant and Wilson.
Bangor, Name, July 21.-It is reported
that Hon. J. A. Peters will not consent to be
a candidate for reelection to Congress from
this district, which he has represented for
the last three terms, owing to pressure of
private business. He will, however, give
his support to the Republican ticket, and
take the stump for Grant and Wilson.
What Virginia is Doing in the Campaign.
Washington, July 10.-The Republicans
of Virginia make complaints because that
State is so generally left out of the list of
those who are expected to give electoral
votes to Grant. They have no state cleo
ton previous to the November election for
President and Congressman and all their
labor is directed to that canvass. They will
not have an opportunity to show what they
can do till then. But the prospect for a
victory is excellent, and is so regarded by
some of the shrewdest politicians and ablest
men of the State. Mr.. Wilson and Fred
Douglas are the prominent speakers for the
meeting at Richmond next week. Secretary
Boutwell, was advertised, but will be
unable to attend.

An enterprsing young merchant in this

The SECOND STATION HoUsE.-The
second station house is VIGOROUSLY unfit,
in size and appointments, for the purposes
for which it is used. 1t is entirely too
small, and, like all contracted and over
crowded quarters, is more or less filthy,
and consequently unhealthy, both for the
officers and prisoners. It's hoped and ex-
pected that the new Council will give the
subject due consideration at the meeting to-
night

AN INTERESTING Decision. "A law
case arising from the burning of a build
ing IN Massachusetts has just been do
clded by the Supreme Court. The case
is this: The building of q company was
on fire, and the engines were playing
upon it, having their hose stretched
across railway track, which freight
train passing run over and cut in part,
and the burning building md contents
were consumed. The owners sued the
railroad company to reco yer for the loss.
The questions involved in the cnse we're,
whether tho hose was rightfully put
across the track, and whether the loss
by the fire was not so remotely connected
with the negligent act of tie company
as to preclude "a recovery. The Supreme
Court decided that the frcmen bud a
right to lay their hose across the track,
aud that the negligent aot of the rail.
road company was direct and efficient
cause of the loss.
