SUICIDE AT ERYEBURG CENTER.-I am pain
ed to record the death of Frank W. Chandler
of Fryeburg, young man eighteen years old,
of good habits, and son of Moses Chandler, q
respectable and well to do farmer Some DAYS
ago he went to DR.. hanson and bought ten
cents worth of morphine. Monday he came
again and called for fifty cents worth, asking
the Doctor how much it would take to kill
man. The Doctor replied there was enough to
kill half a dozen. No suspicious were aroused
from the fact that he had been in the habit of
using considerable morphine during the winter
for neuralgia, from which he had been great
sufferer. Not appearing at the usual hour Tues
day morning, parties went to his room where
they found him conscious, hut under the inhu-
ence of large dose of morphine. Medical aid
was Immediately summoned, but he could not
be restored, and died in the evening.
The reason for this act may be drawn from
the following facts: Some two or more years
ago Moses Chandler, his father, buried his wife,
and afterwards hired Miss Guptill, a poor but
smart and prepossessng young girl, as house
keeper. Frank soon became enamored of the
girl, who, being older, artfully encouraged him.
After few weeks he took her into New Hamp-
shire where they were married. The father
was naturally very indignant at this, and i'm
mediately sent the wife of his only son to her
fathers house and made an attempt to secure
divorce, which has not been accomplished.
The unpleasant complication in which the
young man found himself, aggravated by a new
intimacy is supposed to have led to the sad ter
minaton of his life #x#

Artillery against Indians

Were not the drama now being enacted about
the Modoc Lava Beds so shockngiy tragic, 1t
would be a roaring farce. The marching of
regular troops in lines of battle, the use of
artillery and all the pomp and pageantry of
glorious war against less than an hundred
skulkiDg redskins, seem utterly prerosterous
and absurd. A single company of frontiers.
men accustomed to the country and to the
wiles OF the savages would be more efficient
than division of regular troops and whole
parks of artillery; and the borderers are very
ready to engage in this kind of warfare. for
they hate the Indians as cordially as the
INDIANS hate them A call for volunteers
would speedily produce force capable of bet
ter work than the whole United States army

LIEUTENANT ALBION HOWE who /, re-
ported to be among the killed in the late Mo-
doc battle was well known by many people in
Maine. He was son of COL Marshall S.
Howe who before he received an army ap-
pointment. was deputy sheriff in this county,
anda grandson of DR.. Howe, who was a well.
known physician of Standish forty years ago.
Lieutenant Howe was born in Florida about
1888. He entered Bowdoin College in 1867
and graduated in 1861. In 1868 he entered
the volunteer service as a lieutenant in the
18th New York Artillery but afterwards re-
.celved an appointment as major on the staff
OF his uncle, Gen. A. P. Howe. At the close
OF the war he was mustered out and going to
Boston was appointed by Collector Hamln to
position in the Boston Custom House. In
1866 he was commissioned second lieutenant
in the fourth artillery and in 1859 promoted to
first lieutenacy. The same year he married a
daughter of Gen. W. F. Barry commanding
the artillery school at Fortress Monroe. In
the meantime he had been brevetted captain
in the regular army and colonel of volunteers,
He fairly won the reputation in the late war
of being brave soldier; and las we remember,
he always claimed to be Maine man and va.
| proud of the distinction.

Letter from Camden.
STEAMBOATS, REFUSE FREIGHT.

CAMDEN, April 29th, 1873
MR.. EDIToR:-You will remember that I
wrote you at Waterville. stating that in all
probability it would be necessary TO put an
other boat on the Bangor and Boston route
to carry freight. The prediction has proved
too true. Last night the Cambridge reftlses
to come to the wharf, being already ' Nv
loaded with freight-but allow, passen-
gers to come on board in r. Us. There
was large lot of ieigbs assisting of eggs,
veal. and other mezsE.ndise demanding i'm
mediate transport. The cost of carting to
Roekland, eight miles,, and sending by cars
cannot beBustained by shippers, so the mer-
chandjse will have to lay over till Thursday,
with probably no better chance of shipment
>knen. We must have our other boat here
between Boston and Bangor. 1t is an impo-
sition on the public not to have one put on
Immediately. No one can do it, perhaps,
better than the Sanfords, but we don't care
who the parties are, il we can only have a
chance to ship our freight KAI GAR.

quenchable desire to give this city an honest
government we behold the Reform Association
making ''fur fly" around the City Hail. To
insure this great good to our municipality 1t
would direct the government itself at the present
paltry rate of remuneration rather than see
things as they are, as they have been,
or are likely to be. Diogenes would have
shed tear if he felt compelled to pass this
band of patriots by without giving them the
palm of recognition. They are so very like
the genuine article that it would grieve all
men to find they were not. Probably for this
humane reason they will never be put III a
position to test the truth Of their earnest pro-
fessions. Next we cast our eyes on the
straight-haired virtue Of the Council of Polit-
cal Reform. The shade of greasy, almost
pious, seediness in their hats, and the
sanity, frayed edges of their shirt
fronts betray the martyrs to an idea,
which makes of professions of godliness
covering patriotic desire to serve their
country exclusively at the highest price that
can be obtained. The German Reform Asso-
citation presents its array of solid virtue in
imposing front. It's hats are respectfully aged
and curled of brim, WHILE but for occasional
lager stains, its shirt fronts would we with
any, particularly in breadth of BOSOM The
Bar Reform Association never found it
difficult to get up time honored "tiles, and
its shirt bosoms are now washed regularly,
and occasionally in public. No wonder the
poor old Committee of Seventy Reformers
grew ashamed Of their hats and shirt fronts
and decided to dissolve. They compressed
their hats into pancakes folded up their too
gorgeous shirt fronts and stole silently away
to seek fresh fields and pastures where their
collective character would be merged. We
have not gone over the entire ground of
reform, but we commend the subject to our
citizens who will shortly be called upon to
choose office-holders from the devoted patriots
of the seedy "tiles" and immaculate shirt
fronts.

The Great Ocean Race.

magnificent success has to be scored for
the great yacht race on the ocean. The full
reports, which we publish elsewhere, will evoke
something of the real seaman's enthusiasm
in the story Of the winning yacht Enchantress,
and the brief statement, much to the point, of
Captain Negus, of the winning pilot boat,
Thomas 5. Negus No. l. AS we yesterday ex-
planned, the length of the course and the
difficulties of the yachts having to beat one
hundred and fifty miles against the wind will
account for the fact that we are yet unable to
present the reports of all the contesting yes
sels The fact that pilot boat came in Sec
ond out of thirteen well-matched contestants
will make our best yachtsmen look to their
laurels 1t shows where thorough seaman
ship and q good boat will tell,
even without all the fancy canvas and
knicknacks that give the impression that
nothing can beat vessel SO provided. The
triumph of the Enchantress is one which will
stand on the record beside that of any victory
gained by any yacht in these waters. Sailed
under sailorly conditions that would take the
sneer out of the weather-beaten face Of
the Ancient Mariner himself at all
inshore seamanship, it reflects the greatest
credit on all hands, from the owner to the
cabin boy. For the winning pilot boat it is
substantially q greater victory still. Com
peting with yachts built exclusively for
speed the Negus and the Widgeon have
done good service, and we hope to
see the fruits of the race made visible
in q keen emulation among the hardy
sons Of Neptune who brave the stormy seas,
year in and year out, to pilot the floating
giants of commerce to safe harbor From the
working schooners and the schooner smack
we hope to hear lively story. There is little
doubt but the trading schooners outward
bound will hail their inbound sis
ters to tell the news of the victory
when it has come to hand For many a day
and through many night the tough old
Sandy Hook pilots will debate the ocean race
with the younger members Of their hardy
tribe, who are only toughened sufficiently to
talk with unassuming confidence in the pres
ence of the patriarchs of the shoals and banks
and bar Of New York. We have called
this q democratic race, and the results show
what strength Of purpose and intelligence can
be brought to the surface in free America
when need requires from among those who
struggle for their bread among u.s. as well as
from those whose bread was buttered on both
sides for them from their cradle-days. It
will long be noted as q bright day
among the ''Toilers Of the Sea" along our
coasts when they were admitted to full share
of racing honors by the gallant performance
Of the Negus. To our yachtsmen it will, we
have no doubt, be a marked day also, and one,
in its glories, repaying all the downright hard
work and perseverance it entailed on all con-
cerned
