Some two weeks since the Lyndon
Union published q communication, re-
flecting somewhat upon certain citi-
zcns of Lancaster. The Coos Repub-
lican, in it's last number. comes out
with long article charging the re-
sponsibility of the Unions article
upon the publishers of the Gazette,
and in proof of its assertion copies a
later article from the Union, which is
said to be copy of the letter accom-
panying the first article in the Union.
The Gazette publishers come out with
an article denying their responsibility
for the Objectionable matter III the
Union, and thus the matter stands.
We do not notice that, in all that is
said of the matter, pro and con the
truth of the statements in the first ar
ticle published in the Union is in any
way controversial or denied. We are
inclined to look upon the dispute as
OF no particular consequence, unless
in the light of establishing who the
imprudent man is who SO far forgot
the old saying, that "the truth should
not be spoken at all times" as tc
write the first article.

THE FRONTIER TROUBLES.

The troubles which seem to be in
creasing along the Mexican frontier
may create serious difficulty between
the two Republics, and possibly lead
to another Mexican war, or, if not, at
least to a dangerous and useless bor-
der struggle. There are houndreds,
If not thousands, of influential men
in both countries that would like to
get up u war-some for pecuniary
purposes, some for political purpose S,
and others from pure love of excite
ment and desire for ad venture. Nei-
Their of these parties nor all of them
together should be allowed to ieop-
ardze the peace of the country by
raiding on the neighbours territory.
AS for ourselves, we certainly need
no more territory inst now, and least
of all by conquest. The day for fight
ing for an extension of boundary is
over forever, we hope and believe.
1t is clear to every thinking mind that
our way to fame, fortune and power
is in following the smooth and fowery
paths of peace. Nevertheless, though
such may be the view and the wish of
the masses, there are just enough
disorganized and political rowdies in
the country to bring the nation into
trouble, if not into disgrace, at any
moment, if we only allow them to
have their way without rebuke OF
hIndcrance.
We may allow Mexico to be i'm
posed upon until she shall be goaded
on to retaliation, and then we shall
feel insulted and demand satisfaction,
and have Mexican fingers swapping
in our faces, and then as natural
consequence-war. Then will follow
just what the rogues and rutlians OF
the country want-contracts A war
once begun, even on the smallest
possible scale, may be prolonged in
defnitly by pipe-loying, wire-pnlling
and bribery. If Capt. Jack had had
a million or two of money, we doubt
very much if he and his brother Mo-
docs would have been our prisoners
at this time. He was "broke," con.
tractors could make nothing more
out Of him, and so they left him to
his fate, which was to starve or sur.
render.
But Mexico has money and so has
Uncle Sam, and if the rascally con
tractors and political tricksters car
only succeed in getting them by the
ears, their fortunes will be as good as
made. But we trust the government
will be too smart for them, a nd check
mate in season all their attempts tt
make serious disturbance. .

INSANITY AS AN EXCUSE FOR CRIME.
Mr.. David Dudley Field read a
paper last week, before the New York
Medico-Legal Society concerning emo
tional insanity in its relations to the
commission Of crime and legal punish
ments. He held that emotional insan-
ity as it is called is not justification
in law for criminal acts. Sickles, Nc
Farland, Cole and others ought to
have been hanged, no matter what
their mental state might have been at
the moment when they fired the pistol.
In other words, a man is RESPONSE
BILE in law for becoming emotionely
insane, just as man is responsible
in law for becoming insanely angry,
the distinction between the two being
not always apparent to the lay mind.
Mr.. Field summed up his argument
ia the following conclusions: That
children and idiots are not holden to
criminal responsibility; that mental
unsoundness may excuse crime when
the will becomes the slave ofdefective
reason insanity excnsing crime must
be shown by experts to be a brain
disease; neither emotional nor per-
ceptional insanity is an excuse itself
for crime; all prisoners declared in
same should be put in the lunatic
asylums until their restoration to
health; the punishments should be
graded to suit the quality of the crime
and the intent and relative guilt oil
the criminal. These opinions are prac.
tical and generally sound, and il
adopted by our courts would tend tc
rid us of emotional insanity altogetel
"a result much to be desired by
those who do not expect to kill theil
neighbors, while the latter, according
to the current doctrine, are legally
irresponsible. EOeneng Post.

A sad accident occurred Sunday
afternoon between 8 and O'Clock.
A party of twenty to thirty people Of
all ages, from the matron of four score
to the little child Of four or five years,
went out upon the pond for sail, in
two boats, which were bridged over
and fastened together so as to make
one boat. 1t is supposed that one of
them sprung a leak when they were
about in the middle of the pond
which is about mile in width. The
sinking of this boat capsized the
other and threw nearly the entire
party into the water. The alarm was
at once given and efforts were made
for their rescue. Some of them escap-
ed with only a thorough wetting.
About dozen were taken out in an
unconscious condition, and five lost
their lives. The news of the disaster
spread rapidly, and people focked to
the scene from all quarters. The
names of those who were drowned are,
Lafayette Tichont and wife,aged about
IS, and daughter aged 5 Or 6 Mrs
Amasa Mcknight, widow lady aged
about GO, and Lydia A., daughter Of
w. f. Toby, aged Ia. One or two
of the bodies were not recovered al
last accounts.

The trial OF Louis Wagner, accused
Of the Smutty Nose Island Murders,
is slowly progressing in Maine. The
prosecution appear to have failed to
fix the crime on him, and the present
appearances OF the evidence point al
most certainly to his aequittal.
LATER.
The trial ended Wednesday after
noon, the jury returning a verdict OF
murder in the first degree.
Judge Tapley, upon a day to be
fixed, will file exceptions, principally
upon the matter ofjurisdiction, taking
the ground that Smutty Nose Island
belongs to New Hampshire, or, if it
belongs to Maine, is not within the
limits Of York county or any other
county.

A startling shooting affair occnrre

A startling shooting affair occurred
at Hudson, N, H., last Saturday.
One Henry Jewett, who had for sew
eral years been vainly trying to win
the affections Of Miss Ella Wood,
became cnraged at the young lady's
refusal to accept him, and shot her
through the head in her fathers house.
He then attempted to shoot the girls
father who took the pistol from him
and elected him from the house,
when he drew another pistol from his
pocket and discharged the contents
into his own head, inActing fatal
wound. The girl is in fair way to
recover.

The programme for the usual fourth
of July celebrations are out. AS usual
the public recognition of Independ-
ence Day are variety of horse races
upon the various race courses through
out the country.
The good old fashion of real cell
cbration of the day, with appropriate
exercises, including the reading of the
Declaratio n of Independence, an ap'
propriate grafton, Sc. &C., has passed
entirely away and staid old New En-
gland people, from patriotic and coun'
try loving citizens, have degenerated
into class of horse racers and are
leaving the coming generation to grow
up with no knowledge Of the glory o.
July 4th, 1776, except what they may
learn from the pages of history.

The account Of murders, suicides,

The account Of murders, suicides,
burglaries and other crimes, reported
in the dailie OF each day, are truly
startling and are striking comment
airy on the state of public morals and
efficiency of the execution of the laws
against crimes of this nature at the
present time. From all parts of the
country comes reports of the criminal
propensitles of the people, and the
public mind is rgaled With full ac-
counts of the evidence against and
trials of some, otherwise obscure
person, made prominent, for the time
being, by atrocious crime. Among
these we may mention Louis Wagner
the hero of Smutty Nose Island notori-
ETY., young Walworth of New York,
the murderer of his father, Stokes the
assassin of Fisk, Jewett the Nashua
assassin, and many others. There
seems 10 be carnival of crime and
the public mind appears to crave &C
counts of vile criminals and horrible
crime for its daily portion of exciting
reading. That this Is true, argues q
depraved state of public morals, and
the true state of public enlightenment
and civilization in the United States
cannot be more truly judged of in
any other way than by a considera.
ton of the criminal calendar of the
country and the temper of the
people as expressed by the commenta'
taries Of the press.

Soldiers HOmesteads.

The old law allowed soldiers who had
been in service ninety days, homestead
of 16O acres tUithin railroad limits,
where other persons could get only 80
acres.
The ne,u law of April, 1872, gives
homesteads to soldiers and their un-
married widows, or minor orphans,
sooner than others aan get them.
1t deducts fron' .he five years resi-
dence required for perfect title of other
homesteaders, all the time, up to four
years, that soldier, or sailor, has been
in the United States service.
If q soldier was discharged by reason
of wounds or disability, or died in the
service-his whole term Of enlistment
is deducted.
In the case of soldiers now enlisted,
service is constructive residence. Ac'
tual residence must follow within siI
months after the date of entry.
If a soldiers homestead, already
taken. is less than 160 acres, he may
enter enough more to make up that
quantity, if any public land remains
contiguous to the tract embraced by his
first entry.
A claim may be fled by an agent in:
vested with power of attorney, as well
as in person, and then improved by the
soldier at any time within six months

he was placed upon his bed; and or
returning to himself, and being informed
of Georges safety
"Send forh him, he whispered eagerly,
"let there be no delay"
Then he called for his will, and when
it was brought kept it in his hand.
"Has he come yet ?" was the ques.
ton he repeated, as often as he had
strength.
When at last the young man came,
and was conducted to his late employ
er's bedside, the latter with eager trem-
bling hands turned back the sleeve of
Georges coat so as to expose the left
arm.
"My Ernest my son !" he ex.
claimed !; and raising himself with sud-
den strength, he clasped the young man
to his breast
"Bear witness, ALL" he said; "this
is my son. These marks" pointing to
certain devices tattooed on Georges
arm, "prove it, as does the testimony
of the woman who stole him away and
reared him as her own, and whom 1 saw
and conversed with last night. 1t now
only remains to cancel this ;" taking
his will and tearing it in fragments.
Geogrey Peyton would fain have
lived for his sons sake, but it was not
80 to be. The recent shock proved too
much for his strength, and not many
days after he sank to rest in Ernest's
arms.

failed to mention that Ernest Peyton

SOnnets,

TO ONE WHO ASKED HIM OF LADY's GRACE.
I like her brown small hand that some time
strays,
To find the place, through the same books with
mine.
like her feet-and o, her eyes are fine;
And when say farewell, perhaps she stays
With downward look, awhile, love lingering
Then quick, as she would have that pain soon
over.
I like the mandolin whereon she plays;
I like her voice better than anything.
Yet like, too, the scarf her neck doth cover;
Also the little ribbon in her hair.
I like to see her stepping down stair,
And well I like the door that she comes
through.
Aud then you know am that lady's lover,
And every new day there is something new.
OF HIS LOVE FOR LADY.
know not il love her overmuch-
But this I know, that when unto her face
She lifts her hand, which rests there still a
space,
Then slowly falls-'tis who feel that touch.
And when she sudden shakes her head with
such
A look, soon her secret meaning trace;
So when she runs think 'tis who race.
Like poor cripple who has lost his crutch
am if she is gone and when she goes,
I know not why-for that is strange art,
As if myself should from myself depart.
know not if love her more than those, =
Her lovers. But when she shall fall asleep,
tits not who will be left to weep.
