The eighth excursion for children, I'M
der the auspices of the New York Times,
took place on a recent Saturday. The
invitations to this excursion were extended
only to newsboys and bootblacks. Seven
teen hundred boys were mustered around
City Hall, and they marched in good order
o their place of embarkation. or course
they were motley crew, many hatless.
and the most without jackets. One little
fellow had extemporized n pair of pants
out of a pair of coat sleeves but his happi-
ness was IN no measure diminished by the
strange apsarel. The day was enjoyed as
such boys only can enjoy an excursion.
Swimming was one of the chief sources OF
amusement. and after they had enjoyed 1t
to their hearts content, they were treated
to sandwiches ice cream. and lemonade.
As they were returning to the City, the
steamer ran within one hundred or two
hundred yards of the shore, and three boys
were seen to Jump into the water. a boat
was Immediately launched for their rescue,
but their companions said 1t was not neces-
sary. tor they lived in that neighborhood,
and swan ashore to get their money, and
run down town tor their evening papers.
They succeeded in their efforts to reach
the shore without assistance, and the boat
returned to the steamer. This little Incl
dent shows the DARN. venturesome spirit
of these boys. The first excursion of a
society called "'rhe Society for the Relief
Of Poor Sick Children occurred during
the same week. Six hundred women and
children participated. Although the day
was not clear, yet the physicians decided
ii would be benefit to the patients to en-
joy the fresh sea air, and the result proved
that they were right. Children who SEEM
ed almost dying in the morning, revived
towards night. and went home much re-
frcshed by the trip. Suitable food was
prepared for the party, rs beef soup, roast
beef, and tea for the mothers, and pure
milk for the children.- Mirror.

COUNTY ATTORNEY.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
County and State Election,

1t is relief TO turn from survey of
the political field in Ellsworth, TO that Of
the County and State. In Hancock
County the Republicans have held their
own, giving nearly as large majority
as last year. Every County officer is
elected by pluralities varying from 800
to 600, and once more the County Or
gauization is solidly Republican. It's
Representation i'll the Legislature is the
same as last year, Republican Sena-
tors, s Republican Representatives, and
but Democrat. Many of the towns
did nobly. Gouldsboro' has redeemed
herself. Castine has routed the enemy.
Bucksport, however, must be consider
ed the banner town giving 2s6 Rep. to
1873 DEM, and in the next Convention,
will justly be entitled to larger repre-
sentation than Ellsworth. The vote
throughout the State was light, not ex-
ceeding $4,000 or 5000. The Republi-
can majority will probably reach II 900,
larger msjority than in 1869, 1870 and
1871. Every County is Republican, ex-
cept Knox County. This result, with
little or no effort of the Republic ans to
get out their vote, indicates no detection
aud no love for Liberalism nor Democ-
racy, but rather shows that the party is
stronger to-day than ever before.
