FACTION.
BETHEL HILL, Sept. IT,, 1872

bElhLL HILL, SSPt. Ao,, 1St-'
We left Andover Saturday morning, with n
fine day before us, and, as the weather prog
nostics say, "clear and clearing weather.
Reaching the mouth of Ellis River, we turned
our course up the Androscoggin through Han
over to Newry. The road was smooth and
hard, and SO level that some of our party
complained of the lack of hills to walk up
AT Newry corner, we left the Androscoggin,
and took the road up Bear River. The seem
cry was as grand and picturesque as ever. 1t
reminded US of Tennyson's lines, with little
variation:
Mountains to the right of US,
Mountains to the left of us,
Mountains in front of us,
Mountains in the rear of us.
Puzzle Mountain for miles and miles, lifted
its tall head on our right, far up into the Sc
rene blue sky. The Great Ledge appeared to
be directly before us, and on the left was q
succession of peaks, some bare and rocky,
others crowned with wood to their SUBMITS.
The road winds along amongst these noun
tans by the side Of the little river, passing
through belt of cultivated land, with fields
and pastures, and houses new and old, large
and small, painted and unrainted. We re-
visited Screw Anger Falls, one of the great
est natural curiosities to be seen anywhere.
The old saw mill having been burned down,
exposes the tortuous "screw-auger" channel
to view more than at any of our former visits.
1t is matter of regret that ever mill was
built there, as there are still some of its re-
mains incumbering the falls. The deep,
winding, twisted channel af the river. making
its way through the solid bed OF rock, is en-
tirely unique; we have never seen nor heard
of any thing like it elsewhere. Here we took
our noon meal, and then turned our course
down river, till we reached our quarters for
the night, and spent the afternoon stroling
around the fields and brooks. Some of our
party tried fishing, but found the fish very
bashiul and coy.
Sabbath morning was fine and clear, and we
rode over TO Bethel to attend meeting, hop
ing to hear our good brother, Rev. c. W.
Morse, but he happened TO be absent for the
day. Ia his pulpit, we found an unordained
lady preacher, Miss Parker. She is II
maiden lady about fifty years old, who teaches
school in some town not far of, and breaches
whenever invited in the vicinity. She had a
companion with her, another lady of about
the same age, who aided in the opening and
closing services 1t is said they are not rela-
uves' but make their home together from mu
tual choice.
The preacher appeared to be q well eduea-
ted, intelligent, ear-headed woman. We do
not often hear two better sermons than we
heard from this lady in the forenoon and af-
ternoon. The morning text was, "Sanctify
them through thy truth thy word is truth. f."
In the afternoon, she spoke about Christ as
the "Sure foundation tried and precious
stone, on which whosoever builds shall not be
ashamed. The discourses were plain, practi.

The speculations in political circles as to

hopes 10 be elected Governor of Massa-

BELFAST, Sept. l6, 1872
To the Editor Of the Maine Standard
Your paper contained an article short
time since rejecting on Speaker Blaine for an
alleged want of good faith in dealing with the
estate of the late A. w. johnson of this city,
in the matter of certain bonds of the Little
Rock and Fl. Smith r. r. Co. did not see
the article at the time of its issue, or would
more promptly have written correction.
Allow Inc now, as one of the Executors OF
Mr.. Johnsons estate, to say that your INFORM
alton is entirely erroneous.
| / desiie further to say that Mr.. Blaine's
conduct in the whole matter was that of a
gentleman, and man of honor.
The business matter between Mr.. johnson $
estate and Mr.. Blaine was altogether private
and personal, and can see no reason for
dragging it before the public. But should
remain silent underline circumstances, would
seem to give my assent to the truth OF the
charges. Opposed as l am to Mr.. Blaine polit-
ically, feel constrained to bear my testimony
to his just and honorable conduct in all bust
ness transactions with which l have had any
connection, or of which l have had any
knowledge.
Mr.. Blaine has had in his possession mor'
than year the anplest assurance from mt
in writing that his course towards the johnson
estate was in the highest degree hono,oJl
and more than could hare been ordinari2!
or,,..taJ a., LueiDess f,o N c0rijouS
As cannot believe you would intentionall
injure Mr.. Blaine personally, l am sure yo
will be glad to publish this explanatory note
: and particularly request that any other pa
| per that may hare made the same charges aci
also be Just enough TO gre THIS note a plat
| in rs columns. Yours Respectfully,

e. B. HAZEL TINES LETTER WHICH
THE MAINE STANDARD REFUSES
TO PUBLISH.

The Standard in It's issue just before
election accused Mr. Blaine of having act
| ed in bad faith with the estate of the late
A. w. johnson of Belfast, in business
transaction. The executor OF that estate;
Mr.. C. b. Hazeltine of Belfast, as soon a
his attention was called to the Standards
accusation, sent the subjoined letter to the
Peditor of the Standard. 1t was written
on Monday last and reached the Standard
on Tuesday. 1t was scarcely conceivable
among honest men that the Standard
would refuse to publish the letter And
yet it not only suppresses the letter IN H.
own issue but causes the whole purport OF
it TO be garbled and foully misrepresentet
in the little campaign sheet issued from
the Standard office Fortunately we arv
enabled by Mr.. IIazeltiae's care and
thoughttulness to give the letter which the
Standard-with meanness quite uupara
lelled, or paralleled only by i'seli-ha>
attempted TO suppress.
1t will be borne in mind that Mr.. Hazel
tine is not a political friend of Mr. Blaine,
but has always been democrat. and Is
now supporter of Greeley and Brown.
But democrats and republicans are alike
forbidden hearing in the columns of the
Standard ii they seek 10 deny any OF IT.

Fatal Accident.

A man who resided few miles
south of Coldwater, by the name Of
Teachout, who was on his way homo
from Albion, died in Clarendon on
Friday night, at the house of A. s
Church. He was found in the road
the evening before, insens,blc from
injuries received by being thrown from
his wagon. His horses had run away
and apparently dragged him some dis
lance, the wagon being left in frag-
mcnts. The horses were found next
day in different places. lie had been
working on the Northern Central r.
Il. north of Albinn. He was unconscious
till his death. A little over $50 was
found in his pockets. 1t is said that
he was temperate man, and the prob
ability is that his horses took fright
and became unmanageable, and as he
had no box, but only loose dump
boards on the wagon, he could not
control them, and becoming cntangled
in some way, was seriously injured.

TO Soldiers.

General Stoughton, of Michigan,
has introduced an importent measure
in the House of Representatives, of
which the Washington Chronicle
says:
There are about two thousand
rames Of soldiers borne on the rolls
who arc entitled to additional bounty
but who have failed to received it
on account Of their negligence in filing
their applications therefor within the
time specified by law which has just
expired. The majority of these sol
diers arc not even aware that any
provisions of law had been enacted
allowing them this pecuniary benefit.
Others believe their period of service
did not come within the scope and
meaning Of the law. In order to cor
rect this apprehension it is proposed
to extend the time Of filing these APP
plications to January l, 1873. Tho
bill of General Stoughton, of Michi-
gan, introduced in the House meets
with favor in the Military Commit.
tees of both House, and the indica.
tions are that it will be speedily put
upon its passage. Those who are en-.
titled to the bounty will probably
be notified by the Treasury Depart
ment.
