An Unnecessary Suspicion.
From the Lewiston Journal.

Our Augusta correspondent has referred to an
ATTEMPT Of the Maine Central to cast suspicion
on the proposed Lewiston and Auburn charter
by asserting that it is movement against
Portland. The Portland PRESS says that some
of the good people of that city have been affect
ed by this rumor, and adds:
s.The friends of the Lewiston and Auburn road
could easily have proved that the Journal is right,
and that the Grand Trunk connection is all that they
wantb accepting the amendments of Mr.. Norris
Let the projectors of the Lewiston and Auburn road
with the Grand Trunk only as they at first profess
3D. and 1t will be extremely difficult to defeat them,
unless the Maine Central has already become su-
preme."
We think statement of facts, as we gather
them from the Androscoggin delegation, will
satisfy any friend of our proposed connection
with the Grand Trunk, that there is no ground
for the suspicious named. After the Maine
Central started the story referred to, an Andros-
coggin Senator conferred with some OF the
| Portland delegation on that point, assuring
them that the story was made out OF whole
cloth, and to prove it SO, said that the friends
| of the bill would agree to any reasonable
amendment to demonstrate it. 1t was then
| agreed that Senator Morris should offer an
amendment in the Senate that the proposed
road should be wide gauge and connect with the
Grand Trunk, and the friends of the bill would
accept it. This it was said, would be salts
factory to Portland, as it was to Lewiston and
| Auburn. .. ..Fr .. . IA .f..sI .... ..-f.
When the bill came up in the Senate, Mr..
Morris offered the amendment asked for, and II
was accepted by the friends of the bill, and at
once adopted. What was the surprise of the
! friends of the bill to see Senator Morris Offer
another amendment striking out the section
authorizing lease, and to hear him say that
he had other amendments. Of course the friends
of the bill were astonished, and opposed the
new amendments under the impression that Mr.
Morris was an enemy to the bill any way, ant
proposed to amend it to death His second
amendment was nearly unanimously voted
down. To the surprise of the friends of the
bill, an enemy of the bill then moved to recon
slider the vote adopting Mr.. Morris first amend
ment, which was carried without the support O
the active friends of the bill amid the confu
sion and surprise caused by Mr.. Morris secont
amendment. .il lr5t ~ afl.
We understand from our delegation that the,
would not have objected to any other reasonable
amendments in the direction indicated, if the,
I had been asked previously, but that they fel
chagrned to find that after they had conceded
the only amendment sought for, still other
were forthcoming. And we have to say nov
that if Senator Morris favors the charter, AM
only desires to make it sure that this proposes
road shall be what it processes to be-a connec
ton with the Grand Trunk-there will be n
objection on the part of the friends of the bill

The NEW CONSOLIDATION SCHEME.-The
bill introduced in the Massachusetts Senate
Saturday to incorporate the Boston and Port
land Railway Trust Company by uniting the
Eastern and Boston and Maine Railroads, is
something of puzzle to people in general; a
part seeing in it purpose to consolidate with
the Maine Central and European & North
American to get a through line from Boston to
Halifax under the control of Boston capitalists;
while another part, the knowing ones, say that
it means nothing and can come to nothing and
is intended as diversion. This latter seems
hardly possible though there may be some inn
pediments in the way of the accomplishment
of the plan. Some of the details of the bill are
as follows: asda ls.rt' aie. 7 faa

ANOTHER BURGLARY.-On last Saturday night
the money drawer of Mr.. G. G. Wheat, on the
corner of Main and Augusta streets, was robbed
of some small change, amounting to about $15O
and some mutilated currency. 1t is supposed
that the thief concealed himself in the store, and
was locked in when the store was closed at
about 1O4 o'clock. He was seen. by Waterman
Lawton, coming out of the entrance on Augusta
street, but Mr.. Lawton supposed him to be either
the proprietor or clerk, as it was only about II
o'clock.
On Monday, after the above was in type, q
negro boy about sixteen years old, named Jas.
Miller, presented some mutilated currency at
the National Valley Bank for redemption when
Mr. Catlett suspected that all was not right, and
took him before justice Trout. On examination
some of the mutilated money was identified as
that which had been taken from Mr.. Wheat's
store, and the boy was sent to Jail upon the
charge of felony. and on searching him at the
jail the nicol and silver change was found in his
stocking

For the SPECTATOR.
Stuck Running at Large.

Mr.. Editor This is sore evil elsewhere.
as we'll as here, as farmers in this section can
fully prove. All roads are made on land either
donated to the public or sold or condemned
for that express purpose. and it has been de-
cided, we believe, in our courts of law, for
that purpose only, the land holder from whom
the body Of the road has been taken, IS still
the sole o,oner of the soil for all other purposes
and whilst he cannot do aught to interrupt the
freest travel upon it, yet any and all other
privileges belong to him. and no one has right
to turn their stock upon the road to feed at upon
the grass aohach belongs to another. The evil
would not be so grievous were it not for the
fact that the cattle being thus left to roam
about, when finding their supplies becoming
scanty on the road side, begin to jump or
knock down the fences to get in the more tempt
ing fields before them whilst the hogs, root
ing under he best post and rail fences will,
in a single day or night, do more harm to
the crop than their cafcasses are worth,
