Lecture.
SIGMA.

Mr.. Johnson's lecture on Friday evening
was not well attended, notwithstanding
the earnest call extended to our business
men. the notice given by the band, which
played several lively airs in front ofthe
Hail, and The promised additional attrac-
lions of reading by Mrs. Diehl whose
good nature. and fine elecution has won
everybody who has had the fortune to
hear her during the Institute.
Mr. Johnson's manner was clear. and
convincing. aud we call attention TO the
report of the lecture In another column.
The comparison made between the schools
of Ellsworth, and of other cities in Maine
was not fiatteriDg to us. Every citizen is
directly interested in their prosperity. and
We hope mistaken economy will not
cause this vital interest to suffer in the
future.

October Elections.

Before our next issue, Penn ylyania.
Ohio, Indiana, Dakotah aud Nebraska.
will have held their State election. The
result in tie three first named States viii
have much bearing upon the re,alt %
the Presidential election.
Indiana may be considered more
doubtful than any other of these States.
In 1870 it went Democratic by some
300 majority.
Pennsylvania is unfortunate by iea-
son OF division in the Republican rank
Should it elect Hartranft, Republ ican
candidate Tor Governor, or should he be
defeated by only n few thousands, the
State may be- considered safe for Grant
i'll November.
In ONO there can, We think, be little
doubt that it, vote will be given IN favor
OF the Administration.
The fourth annual field day of the
Maine Historical Society took place lat
week. The party, setting sail from Wis
cas>et on board the revenue steamer Ne
Bullock. especially detailed for the occa-
sion, enjoyed two days in visiting place,
of historic interest on the coast. between
the kennebec and Penobscot.
The first day was passed in exploring
that old land mark, the island Of Monbe-
gan. There is evidence that this place
was visited by rowing bands of Mortimer
a thousand years ago, and 1t wa, well
known to ancient French, and English
navigators. Monhegan was first discover
ed BY Roster, whose name is now borne by
the cape which guards the harbor OF Cas-
line. On neighboring inlet are found
characters cut i'm the solid rock. supposed
to be very ancient, and of Runic origin.

EDITOR OF THE AMERICAN Please pub
fish the following correction ola statement
in your paper OF the 18th inst: On sat
urday night the eth instant the only
daughter of William and Frances Eos, was
taken violently i'll with disease that bai-
fled the skill of the attending physician.
She began to recover in twenty hours. and
IN few days was a. well a. ever.
On the Tuesday following the two sons.
aged respectively, tonr and tive and half
years were taken with the same disease
and in twenty hours from the time they
was taken they were dead. They were
smart intelligent boys. United in life, in
death they were not divided.
They were not supposed to be poisoned.
Will Bangor Wing please copy and correct
former statement. +. NJ. Y.

Time flies. October is close upon us. ere
we have fairly realized the genial presence
of September.
We said in our last that We had heard of
no complaints of rust or rot among pota-
toes here. They are rotting very badly
owing to the wetness Of the season. Sea-
birds are in season, and plenty.
We learn that we were misinformed in
regard to Mr.. .. A. Richardson's moving
from the Island this fall. He thinks some
folks know more about his intentions than
he does himself.
