DEEDS OF a DRUNKEN MAN.

BlDDEFORD, Me. Dec. %.
Christmas afternoon the house 60 South
street. in this city, was the scene of a
a double tragedy, and for bloody details is
rarely excelled. The house is occupied by
Patrick Hobbins and family, and Joseph
Sansior and wife. Hohbins, while drunk,
began row, and Sansior attempted to
eject him from the house. Hobbins stoutly
resisted, and during the scufile in tie hall
way, drew an ugly jack-knfc, as sharp as
razor and pointed as a needle, and plung-
ed it into the left side Of Sansior's face,
cutting severe cash over the left upper
jaw Not satisfied with this, he made an
other attempt to murder Sansior, this time
completely sevcring the left temporal ar
terry, and producing fearful wound from
which the blood spurtcd in great quaint
ties the murdered man sanl, to the floor
and bled like an on. llObbins. thinking he
had made way with Snnsiur, rushed fui his
wife who was tending her babe, and thrust
the knife into her left arm, severing all tic
veins in the course of the cut, and danger
ously wounding his second victim The
would-be murderer then walked out Of
doors, and was at once arrested and locked
up. The wounds were properly dressed,
and at this hour both the victims are doing
as well as could he expected. Mrs. Hob
bins will probably recover, but Sansior's
case is doubtful.

An Exploded Lie.

For several months prior to the late
school election, the Republican papers
we're busy in attempting to show that the
purpose Of the Legislature, 10 providing
for submission Of the question Of school
levy to The people, was to enable the DEM
ocrals 10 districts where they had a ma.
iority, to vote down such levy aud prevent
the holding Of schools They professed
to be couflcnt that this was the work of
enemies Of the schools aud to fear that 10
all Democratic sections the schools would
receive their death blow So utterly ri
diculous was the fury into which they
worked themselves, that the Democratic
press saw that it was unworthy Of notice,
and without paying attention to any of'bls
froth and fuss, the Democratic papers
quietly urged their readers to 60 to the
polls aud vote for the levy.
What is the result? ln all this region
Of country, aOd so far as we know in the
entire State not single Democratic dis
trct has either defeated the levy or shoRu
it any serious opposition, The only dis
triCt which has voted down the levy, is the
strongly Republican district Of Crook 10
the county Of Boone Here the Republic.
ans have complete political control, and
here they smashed the schools, What bet.
ter answer to all the clanor that has been
raised about Democratic hostility to free
schools could be asked than this? Through.
out tue entire extent of strong Demo
cratic region, the continuance of the
schools is demanded by an uobroken vote
10 one Of the few districts where Obstrep,
erous RadicaIism varies the monotony Of
Democratic prcdominanco in the southern
part Of the State, the Republicans unmaSk
their opposition to the civilization and pro
gre:s Of the age, and the schools 60
down.
All sensible people know that proGisiou
was made in the school law for submitting
the question Of levy to vote Of the people
because the late Republican Supreme COur,
decided that such vote was nccessayto make
the leVes valid 1t was necessity Of the
situation anil Republican ratings made it
so 1t is probably well enough that it
arose, for besides giving the people an op
pormDity to speak ont on natter that so
nearly concerns them, it has forever silica.

Editor Register
Now that the election is over and all the
excitemcnts attending it is subsiding, we
can at least take calm review Of some
things connected with it.
Allow me sir, then to review some
things connected with the attempt to es.
tablish a high school at Buffalo. | will
FIRST answer the arguments used by some
who were opposed to this school, Allow
me to state them in order aud then answer
them. The grounds of opposition were:
list, It is Intended to break down the
common schools.
q. It is 10 opposition to the school
which has been undertaken BY the Baptists
at Coalsmoulh.
Sd. 1t is Presbyterian enterprise,
4th 1t will increase the school tax,
Now, sir, | will take up these grounds
Of opposition and discuss them. Do not
fear that am going to occupy too much
Of your valuable space, for it will not re.
quire much of an effort to dispose of them.
LIST. This high school is intended to
break down the common school.
1t is sufficient in answer 10 this to say.
The school law Of the State which gives
US our common school system, makes pro.
vision for the establishment Of high schools
as part Of that system. Is it not strange
then, that our Legislators, may be rcgar.
ded as men of ordinary sense, should 10
giving US common school system, make
provision for something which will break
down the SYSTEM Whata severe rebuke
is this to our Legislators?

man in your place, who is now having a
dWelliug-housc put up: "Why, Dr., =
| am opposed to your putting up walls
upon the foundation Of your house, because
they are intended to break down the foun-
dation." II were TO advance such on
idea seriously, you would think ne a fit
subject for Dr.. Striblings'attenton, And
yet such an argument was urged against
the establishment Of a high school at Buf.
