Destruction of Valua6ie Property.

At the fire in Brunswick last Friday,
where the ell OF the house of Miss Weld
was burned, was the library of Leonard
Woods, ID. d., which was valued at up
wards of So 900 and which is total
loss; no insurance Besides the library,
DR.. Woods lost the manuscript OF a val
liable work which was nearly ready for
the press, upon which he has been en-
gagged for many years.
The origin OF the lire is unknown, but
it is supposed to have been caused by
the wadtlin. of gun lodging 10 barrel
OF shavings which was standing outside
OF the stable. guns having been fired in
the vicinity shortly before the fire was
discovered.
The manuscript work here referred to,
is the edition OF the famous Hakluyt
manuscript, which DIR. Woods discovered
in Wales, in 1869. and had nearly pre-
pared for publication, with copious an.
rotations, under the auspices of the
Maine Historical Society. This manu-.
script, which Tor many years was lost,
the heads only being preserved in the
British Museum. gives an account OF the
earliest English settlements on the
American continent, and proves that
they were founded upon the coast OF
Maine.

Tn. Case of Collector Roberts.

Collector Barnabas NJ. Roberts of. Bel.
fast, was arraigned before U. S. Com
missioner Clifford, a. Portland. last We'd
mes day, on criminal complaint made
by Mr. j. Y. McCliniock, charging him
with engaging in commerce while hold
ing the commission of collector of Belfast,
and carrying on the business OF trade,
being owner OF seagoing vessel. The
complaint was founded on the acts oil
1889. 1871, 1892 and 1893.
The Court ruled that the act oil 1889,
which was the act establishing the
Treasury Department, has no application
to collectors OF the revenue. since its
scope was expressly limited To Off
GERS therein enumerated, and collectors
are not named AMI were not contempia'
ted by the act The act of 1871 author
lied the employment of clerks in the
Treasury, but has nothing 10 do with
collectors. The act of 1892 provided ioI
collectors OF revenue, and prohibited
them only from trading in the funds oil
the States or OF the United States; and
even that prohibition was subsequently
repealed. The act oil 1899 does lorbid
collectors from engaging in commerce
but the penalty provided in the act can
does not auth orize II criminal procedure
The Court further held, upon the testi
mony. that il the statute had justified
any criminal process, there was no evil
dence to show reasonable and probable
cause to believe the defendant guilty Of
the charge.
The defendant was accordingly dis
charged.

Free High School.

Upon petition OF some Of tho inhablt'
ants, town meeting has been called ior
next Saturday AFTERNOON. 10 consider the
matter of taking advantage oI the Free
High School Bill. South Paris village is
willing TO lake the whole amount allowed
town,we believe, il no other portion Of
the town wants any. There is great need
OF good High School in our village,
and nearly bundled dollars have been
raised TO sustain one. \ school can be
secured for hundred, but tue fear is that
it will iail for lack OF few dol
lars. For every hundred raised another
hundred can be obtained from the State,
and vet some who call themselves demo
Gratis, oppose the Free High School sys-
tenn rs undemocraic. &c. The only way
it is liable to such charge. that we can
see. is,tha1 it promotes intelligence, which
is undemocratic, we suppose.
We hope the friends oil education in
town will turn out and rebuke this
narrow-minded. Liberal spirit, aud eS
tabish one or more high schools, to the
extent of the $500 allowed town.
The town meeting is callhd al o'clock.
The question OF raising money to repair
bridges will also come up.

No Nomination..

That democratic ccunsels in our State
have been divided, for some time. rs to
- question OF making a party nomina.
ton for Governor this year, Is well known.
I4e great objection was the abandonment
OIL; party which such course implied
l'r Groesbeck OF Ohio. a leading dem
,c,at, has written letter in which he
Stys:
Il believe the historical democratic
oySanlzatiOn Is spoiled. Blundering con-
sanity during tie past ten years, and
shattered by many defects, il surrendered
tas.ly al the last Presidential election
Il cannot recall that surrender or the CON
lesion then made. and it has no longer
-,ltngth enough for victory. In this ex.
t.cmity il will be wise 10 lay aside the old
organization and enter into a new one
The new organization should accept the
results OF the war rs was done 1T Bllti-
more, and 1t should accept them in good
i-lh and so Is 10 command the conf

new organization should be something
different from re-cast Of the old one
There should be no exelUsiyeness about

in Maine agreeing with SIr. GrOesbeck
have found expression in an Article from
one OF the leading democratic papers in
