A Pennsylvania Dutchman is said TO have
excused his inability to answer question as
to his course at an election by stating, "That
the man who tells US how to vote has not been
around this FALL" this, however, Is not our
answer, for the ring men were very active in
that direction. They told us now to vote,
bu. We wouldn't obey and if they derive any
comfort from the delusion that their defeat is
but temporary, we would cheerfully let them
remain in blssful ignorance.
But a consciousness that we are contending
for the right will if need be stimulate us to
still greater effort in the future. In view of
these things we hope for the sake of peace and
harmony among neighbors and townsmen,
that defeated ring will cease adding fresh
fuel to the fame they have already kindled,
by calling men to a personal account for dis
charging the highest duty of free men, In
conclusion we would say, that we wish to
protest against their action in publishing to
the world that King Alcohol governs in local
affairs. This is one of the most beautiful
villages in New England, situated in the midst
of picturesque and lovely scenery. There is
not more quiet, peaceable or temperate viii
lage of its population and varied industries in
the State. 1t affords many attractions to
those seeking rest and quiet from the din Of
city life, and we have here a first class hotel
conducted strictly upon temperance princi
pies, where the weary worn traveller will find
all the comforts and quietness of home.

Globe by very brief colloquy in which
Messrs. Randall and Biggs, Democratic
members, good naturally objected to the
Speakers excepting himself from the OPP
GRAFTON OF the Bill. But the paragraphs are
directly connected in sense and in refer
ence.
The Maine Standard of last week. with
little more than its usual stupidity and
dishonesty, quotes the second paragraph
alone, and tries to make it appear that the
"distinct understandings to which Speaker
Blaine alluded was in reference to the
Salary Bill then pending, whereas, as the
most casual reader will see, it referredeto
the adjustment of salaries "the last time
the question of pay aoas under constdera-
tion." That was in 1866, when the Vice
President, Speaker, and Cabinet Ministers
were placed on the same basis as to sal
aries. The whole reference made by the
Speaker could have no other possible
meaning, and few papers in the country
would be SO unprincipled as to attempt
any other construction. The editor of the
Standard, however, seems to seriously
think that such petty attempts at misrep
resentation and misquotation are smart

NORTH CONWAY ITEMS.

A correspondent who has been spending a
few days at North Conway, N. H., itemizes
thus:
The weather yesterday (Sept. 2s) reached
almost the melting point. For this mountain
region and this season of the year, the heat
was quite extraordinary. The sun seemed in
hot haste to make up for past delinquencies.
As rule the season has been rather cool,
and the heated terms few in number and
short in duration.
A PRETTY NEST OF ROBINS.
Riding out with party of friends the other
day, it incidentally came out through the
driver that just off from our way, there re-
sided the mother of three girl babies, now a
little less than a year old. Hearing of this
fact, one Of the party, married man, but
we grieve to say, not father, was seized with
a strong desire to gaze upon the triplets, and
90 nothing would do but for all the party to
turn aside as did Samson in the vineyard OF
Timnath to see the lion. And Of a surety we
were not without our reward. Figuratiyely,
we too were permitted to regale ourselves up
on honey. A sweeter sight is rarely looked
upon. The children are all healthy and very
beautiful Our enthusiastic friend, bust
ness man of Boston, was careful to leave
generous sum in the hands of the mother to
keep the little birds warm through the winter.
The happy fathers name is Daniel Robins,
and surely prettier nest of robins was never
seen.

ing many longing, lingering looks behind.

The Hon. William Wheelwright, who
died in London on the Goth, at the age of
seyenty-five years, was one OF the greatest
benefactors and most enterprising men of
South America. He was an American
citizen. and former resident of New
buryport. Old as he was he was in Lon
don to aid the building of an important
South American railroad. He had resided
in that country fifty years, and obtained a
world wide reputation as the founder and
promoter Of the accessories to modern
civilization and material prosperity en-.
joyed By the various republics of South
America. A notice OF him prepared in
Newburyport says: "He introduced rail
roads, aiding with his capital the construc
ton Of several lines in Peru, Chill and
Bolivia. He introduced gas and water
works into the principal cities, establish
ing boards Of trade. libraries and schools,
and brought the country into commercial
relations with the rest of the world by the
Asiatic line of steamers. The Govern.
ment Of Peru has placed his portrait in
the capitol and his bust in the rooms of
the boards Of trade throughout the repub-
lie. 1t is coincidence that his last public
work was the railroad from the La Plata
across to Chilli, over the same route which
be travelled with mules on his first arri-
val half century ago, at which time the
ship Of which he was supercargo was lost,
the accident determining his remaining in
the country and Of course his subsequent
career. His remains will be brought to
Newburyport. and Gen. Cushing will be
invited to deliver an eulogy.
The father of the deceased was John
Wheelwnght, the founder of Exeter, N.
H., of whom Bancroft remarked that he
established the first Democratic govern
ment in America. He was thrice banished
for his religious belief, once from Sails
bury, where he resided for while. The
wife OF William Wheelwright was the
granddaughter Of William Bartlett of
Newburyport, who, during his life, was
reckoned TO be the wealthiest man in the
United States, and who also suffered han.
ishment on account of his religion"

THE PARK.-It is generally conceded that
the grounds lying along the Brandywne, should
be converted into park. Such an appendage
to the city would certainly prove highly adyan-
tageons 1t would not only serve for pic MES,
meetings, and recreation but would attract
hundreds and thousands of visitors from Phila-
phia and other places, during the'summor sea-
son, and contribute to the general prosperity

price demanded. That it is exorbitant is gen.
orally conceded. The payment by instruments
however would not add NATURALLY to the city

On laborers will be greatly reduced from tue
former rate, and as the piNn ent of the install

about four per cent. 10 the tax, the laborers
proportion will not b, more than eight or ten
cents, and that OF the mechanic twelve to six
teen cents. The chief burden will be thrown
on property holders, and we suppose that little
sympathy will he felt for them 10y the laborers
and mechanics who do not own either houses

Horses Killed Several horses and colts be-

nesday last three of them were killed on the
Delaware railroad by a freight train, another
jumped into the canal killing itself aud tbs 9th

from which they were drawn by ropes attached
to the locomotive, in such crippled condition
that 1t is highly probable that they will never be
Of any CREST service, even if they do not die
from their injuries. We are not informed how
far they ran on the railroad before they were
overtaken by tho locomotive, but it seems 10 us
that such destruction of horse flesh is really in
excusable. Whenever horses or cattle are per-
eeived upon the road, by the conductor or engi-
neer, the train should be stopped and man
sent TO drive them out of the way. This would
not cause delay of more than fift cen or twen-
ty minutes, while the system now pursued has
frequently caused the delay of an hour or more,
beside endan gering the lives of passengers and
causing large expenditure for repairs. Where
cattle or horses are laying on the track at night
an opportunity TO drive them off may not occur
and their death my be inevi table. In such cases
the engineer is entirely excusabe, but where
the animals are driven for hundreds of yards II
