On Friday afternoon, q powder-house at
the granite quarry near Cedar Point, Vinal-
haven, was accidentally blown up, killing
one Of the quarrymen and severely wounding
several others who were near at hand. A
special to the Bangor Wing says that the
cause Of the disaster was the carefessncss of
the workmen, who left the can of powder out
of which they charged the rock, standing out
side the powder house, and it is supposed that
fire was commu nicated to this bit OF burning
fuse from the blast. The explosion Of the
can communicated fire to the powder in the
house, which blew up. The whole contents
of the powder house, 81 kegs of blasting
powder blew up with tremendous shock.

Mr.. EpToR:-I do not wish to burden
your columns with controversy in regard to
New Vineyard, but you will allow me to cor
rect the misstatements of your correspondent
of the 18th. In the first place the school has
never been crowded either from without or
within the district.
Your gentemanly correspondent attempts
to throw doubt upon the facts as to The petit
ton. Now, if necessary, the petition can he
produced, and the name at the head will
show who also headed the raid against the
school girl But we are happy to state that
the inconsiderate action Of the district has
been reconsidered-an l am assured that
he affair did not meet the concurrence of
majority of the people of New Vineyard-one
of the most enterprising and beautiful little
places in Franklin county. There is no stig-
ma to rest upon a whole village on account Of
the misdeeds of few; and as your first item
in relation to this affair, has had the effect to
have the people set the matter right, nothing
more need be said. EMIGRANT.

An attempt was made on Friday night to
blow up the powder-house of Messrs. Bird 4
Co., near Blackington Corner, in Rockland.
A keg of powder was taken from the house
and carried across the road, and fuse was
attached to this and another fuse led from the
keg to the powder-house. The keg of pow.
der was exploded, but fortunately the explos.
ion did not extend further. The powder
house contained more than one hundred kegs
of powder.
Some time during Friday night, the store
of Mr.. Charles II. Forbes, on State street, in
Bangor was broken into by burglars, who
effected an entrance by smashing in sash,

issue of legal tender notes, and If it raises
any implications they are of complete power
over the currency, rather than restraining.
The objection that the legal tender act i'm
pairs the obligations of contracts cannot be
accepted, for it is not an obligation of a
debtor to pay gold or silver as to contracts,
but to pay money generally, not contracts to
pay specifically defined money or the kind of
money recognized by law at the time when
the contract was made; nor is it his duty to
pay money Of equal intrinsic value in the
market. The expectation of the creditor and
the anticipation Of the debtor may have been
that the contract would be discharged by the
payment OF a coined metal, but neither the
expectation or the other constitutes its obi.
CATION. The obligation of contract to paw
money is to pay that which the law shall
recognize as money when the payment is to
be made. If there is anything TO be settled
by decision it is this, and it cannot be under
stood to be controverted. As to the objec-
ton that legal tender acts were prohibited by
the constitutional provision prohibiting the
taking OF private property for public use
without just compensation, it is said that
the provision has always been understood to
refer only to dir ct appropriation, and not to
cons. quential injuries resulting from the ex-
ercisc of lawful power. The objection that
the unit money value must possess intrinsic
value is regarded as foreign to the subject
The legal tender acts do not attempt to make
standard of value. Their validity is not
vested upon the assertion that their emission
is coinage or any regulation of the value of
money.
This decision overrules 50 much of what was
decided in the Hepburn VS.. Griswold case az
ruled the legal tender acts unwarranted by
the constitution, so far as they apply to con-
tracts made before their enactment.
