We learn Of an exciting bear hunt
that was going on nearly all Of last week
in Windham and vicinity. Bruin was
discovered By a man who was drawing
wood from his wood lot. His dog went
off some distance from his wood-pile and
commenced barking furiously. He tho't
little OF it, but went home with his load
ofwood, bat on returning his dog again
returned to the same place and COM
menced barking as before. This excited
his curiosity, and on Investigation, found
the dog barking at the entrance Of a sort
Of cave aud evidently some animal great
on small, within. A pole was procured
and the animal Stirred up, which proved
10 be a bear. His bcarship did not pro.
pose to stay in his hole to be punched
with sharp sticks, he accordingly came
ont and interviewed the man, who pitch
cd in with an AK which was soon a rod
away IN the snow. The dog then took a
turn and was sent after the ak. The man
aud dog then retired in quest of help
which was secured, and the bear was
followed for nearly a week, with what
result we have not learned.

thirty forr Of the drowning people. A
few more escaped by the boats and one
or two swan until they were picked up
by other vessels. The roll of the dead,
however, reached nearly 800, all of whom
it is believed, might have been saved,

feet answered the cries for help, or had
the anchor-watch of the Corona, a clip

Northheet. been awakened from the deep
sleep in which they remained while the
tragedy was in progress.
The theory that the offending steam
er was the Murillo, a Spanish vessel.
which recently arrived at Cadiz, has not
yet been established by conclusive evil
dence 1t is possible that the vessel
which ran down the Northfeet was her
self so gravely injured that she steered
it, leaving no record of her fate. 1t will
be remembered that the commander OF
the French steamer which sank the Arc
tic supposed that his own vessel had
sustained more damage than had the
huge Collins liner, and Immediately
headed for the land in order to save his
own people. Let US hope that the Mu-
rillo is innocent, and that the real off
ender lies at the bottom of the Channel.
For it would be far better for humanity
had the sea washed out the guilt of those
passengers whose recklessness murdered
the passengers of the Northfeet, than
that they should have escaped to con-
vince us that the world holds wretches
so brutal and mereiless as to calmly
leave four hundred men and women to
horrible and inevitable death.

A STORY OF THE sNoRTHFLEET.,


We have at length the full story of
the NOrthtqeet-a story of the most dis
NAL blackness, relieved only by the shin
ing bravery of the noble Captain.
The ship, crowded with nearly 400
passengers, principally belonging to the
class of "navvies," was lying quietly at
anchor off Dungeness. The night was
unusually dark, hut the weather was
clear and the sea perfectly smooth
About 10 - o'clock the watch on deck
perceived large steamer steering di-
rectly toward the Northfeet Their
cries aroused their Captain and the pi-
lot, who were below, but by the time
those officers reached the deck the steam
or had crashed into the waist of the ship,
cutting her down to the waters edge
Not voice was heard from the steam
er's deck in answer to the uproar and
cries for aid that went up from the deck
of the doomed Northheet With a few
backward revolutions of the screw the
steamer drew back from the wreck, and
then at full speed steered silently away
and was swallowed up in the darkness.
Rockets were sent up and blue-lights
were burned by the Captains orders,
but the usual panic seized upon the pas
sengers of the Northfeet. The men
rushed toward the boats with the mad
selfishuess that has in so many other
shipwrecks defeated its own end and de-
stroyed all hope of safety for others
The gallant Captain proved himself a
man born to command. "The women
first" he cried. "I'll blow the mans
brains out that dares to get into boat. -
He did not threaten idly, for he fired
more than once with his revolver into
the frenzied towards that were doing
their best to swamp the boats. The
boatswain stood by his commander, but
we do not learn that the other officers
shared their courage and GOODNESS =
These two brave men were pitted against
400 madly striving for life. Before or
der could be restored the Ship dipped
her head into the sea, and plunged dow
into the .imitless grave of the myriad
of drowned mariners that the sea ha.
claimed and kept. As her deck vanish

passed into a state of coma and was
thought to be dead by his friends His
body retained something of its natural
warmth, however, and it was watched
over for three days, when the brother
had it cofined and placed in q vault
A few days after this, the vault was
opened and the corpse taken out for f.
nal burial. Attention was attracted to
the circumstance that the strong screws
were strained loose and the top pried up.
Wonderingly the coffin was opened, and
there was found the body turned and
twisted, every line showing most fright

EXIT, CoLFAX.

The labored attempt of Vice President
Colfax to clear his reputation from the
Credit Mobiier intrigue, contrary to the
hopes of every true friend of public vir
tue and of the Republican party, has
proved unsuccessful. Whatever odium
attached to him by the first disclosures
which were made by Mr.. Ames, still re-
mains, and the weakness which his origi-
nal seduction into that speculation be-
trayed, has now been supplemented by
such evasion and prevarication as render
his position most unenviable. Of what
use was it to him to cavil about whether
the money which he got from Ames went
into his bank account or not? He had
the money, that was enough and wheth-
er he invested a thousand dollars of it in
a draft to remit to the Indiana Republi-
can financial committee, or deposited it
in bank and took some other thousand
dollars to send to Indiana, is matter of
not the slightest consequence.
The mysterious remittance from man
now dead, and the equally convenient
payment from member of his own fami-
ly, have altogether too equivocal an ap-
pearance to be put forth as an explana-
ton of how a suspicious deposit was
made up; but even if these apochryphal
statements are received in full faith,
they have not the slightest bearing upon
the question whether he received money
from Mr.. Ames. The money has been
traced into his hands, and as it is of no
sort of consequence what he did with it
afterwards. 1t is very singular that
Judge Hale, the counsel for Mr.. Colfax,
did not realize this state of the case,
and save his client from the humiliating
and shallo attempt which he made to
show where he got the money he depos-
tied. The fact stands stronger than
ever that all which has been alleged
against Mr.. Colfax, as to participating
in the Credit Mobilier speculation, has
been proved to be true, and that his
prevarication and denials, as we'll on the
stump in Indiana as before the committee
Of Congress, are perversions of the truth.
We notice that some of our Republi-
can exchanges try to make it appear
that Mr.. Colfax has entirely retrieved
his position by the story of the dead
mans remittance and the piano payment
But we cannot acquiesce in this view Of
the Subject fol-. the simple reason thai
facts will not justify it. Nor can we
endorse the policy of trying to screen the
misconduct of Mr.. Colfax or any otheI
prominent Republican for the sake Of
saving the party from harm. Such du
plicity on the part of its leading journals
will do the party far more harm than tn
open admission of the truth and tn
prompt reputation of the erring or gull

COUNTY BUILDING QUESTION.

EDITOR MONITOR = ne people OF
this county, as whole, do not seem to
understand how the question of removing
the County Buildings, which was agi-
tated so increasingly at the last session
of the Legislature, rests, or what the
provisions really were concerning the
committee of location mentioned in that
bill. | have been asked many times of
late, by people in all parts of the county,
how the matter stood, and what they,
the voters of the county, were expected
to do concerning it at the next annual
March meeting. Some seem to have an
idea that the committee on location have
been appointed, and that tits being kept
a secret from the people Of the county
for some reason, while others think the
committee can be appointed after March
meeting and after the voters of the coun-
ty have acted upon the bill. For these
reasons some have requested me to pub
lish the bill, or a part of the same, suffi-
cient at least so that all may understand
its effects and provisions hence have
penned these few words of explanation,
and also here insert that part of the bill
relative to the committee and its appoint
ment.
an act changing the shire torn Of the
/ County of Orleans.
SEC. l. Within twenty days after the
passage of this act a committee of three
disinterested persons shall be appointed

of Representatives for the purpose Of
making an examination and selecting
/ the best location on the line of the Con-
necticut and Passumpsic Rivers Railroad,
between the village of North Derby, in
the town Of Derby, and the village Of
South Barton, in the town of Barton, fol

ings in the county of Orleans Prousd.
ed, however, that said committee shall
not act under their appointment until a
majority of the legal voters of said coun.
ty of Orleans present in town meeting
and voting, shall accept of the provisions
of this act.
The first words of this bill are, that
aoitbin tacenty days after the passage O
this act a committee, etc., shall be ap
pointed. Now has this committee beer
appointed twenty days after the passage
of this act? | am informed by the gov
ernor of the state and the speaker of thu
House that this committee has not beer
appointed. Some, no doubt, have beer
thinking alone of the provision that sale
committee shall not act under their ap
pointment until q majority of the lega
voters of said county Of Orleans, presen
in town meeting and voting, shall accep
of the provisions of this act, and hav,
lost sight of the provision that the com
mittee should be appointed within TWEEN
ty days. But the committee have no
been appointed; and the moment thu
twenty days were past and no committe,
appointed, the bill was dead to all IN
tents and purposes. for the first and vi
tai provision of the bill was broken a
once and it could make no differenc
