WASHINGTON.

Washington, 81. The court of claims to-
day rendered judgment against the United
States in favor of ex Senator Alexander
Caldwell for $50, 500. on contract for army
transportation in Nebraska, in 1896. Chief

In conversation to-day Secretary Delano
said that should the Modocs escape from the
lava beds he did not believe they would form
coalitions with other bands for hostile pur-
poses, as there are no unfrendly Indians in
that neighobrhood. All the advices through
the Indian Office are that the other Indians in
that locality are friendly.
1t appears that the reported resi- gna,ion of
Secretary Delano arose from a typographical
error, his name having been printed for that
Of Delong.

Letharyic influences of the Season.

Languor, lassitude, an ndisposition to engage in

Rainforth's Troupe played Ten Nights in a
Bar Room, on Thursday evening, for the
benefit of the Temperance Reform Climb OF

The measles are prevalent in the village.
Over twenty cases have already occurred.

The contract for carrying the mail, during
the next four years, from China Village to
Vassalboro', has been sub-let to Mr.. Z. II.
Austin of this place.
The temperance and revival meetings of
late have been largely attended, and unusual
interest is manifest. Accessions to the cause
of temperance and to that of religion have
been numerous, and in this place at least,
these ''internal improvements" have gone
hand in hand.
The wife of Jabez Lewis, Esq one of our
Selectmen, met with severe and painful ac-
cident the other day, in falling down the cell
lar stairs, while in a faint. Her head was
severely bruised and an arm broken.
Jessie Wilson, our veteran stage driver,
has here a beautiful mare, sired by Gen.
Knox, out Of large black mare that was
once owned and drove by Sheriff Hatch. The
colt bears close resemblance to the General,
and will probably prove valuable to her
owner. Several hundreds have been refused
for her.

A Gushing Epistle.

- ~~s"AAA"S @sFA"sAS'
A young and aspiring, though decidedly
unsophisticated, shoemaker, through some
rogush chaps. got admittance to one of our
Seminaries the other day. The young ladies,
taking in the situation at glance determined
to have some fun with the youth, and so the
LIST of April, they each sent him an affecting
missive.-The following is most desperate
case -
My DEAR SIR,-Little did think that the
few moments, alas how few spent in your
charming society, were destined to be the
cause of so much misery to my poor heart I!
Misery, did l say? 1t were better that had
said agony! Must 1 confess to you the
cause? l will, whatever be the consequence
love you dearly, fully, everlastingly and
the dreadful fear which haunts me, that am
not reciprocated, is the cause of this agony
which tortures my heart! They have told
me that you love another. Oh! the raptures
that would thrill my very soul, could l but
learn that they did not tell me true. But
alas it has ever been thus with me. My
longing heart would fain have fastened, ere
this, on some dear object, but it has ever
eluded me, ever Knocked me.
| "Inever nursed a dear gazelle
To glad me with its soft, black eye
But, when it came to know me well,
| And love me- was sure TO die"
| You may have heard that l belong to an.
other; but, my dear sir, though that may
have been true, yet (and here again is my
misery when came within the circle of your
charms, and felt their mighty magic, like 8
poor hunted bird, would fain have foun(
refuge and safety on your manly bosom
Whether the source of these, your charms
lies in your magnificent form, your bewitch
ing eye, or the honied eloquence of you
voice, alas l know not. But, why should
write more?
Let me add one wish When you move il
the giddy maze of the dance, and hear tn
sound of revelry, when wealth and fashion
gather about you, when you bask in beauty
smiles, draw your thoughts, for one moment
away, to think Of one, the pole star of who's
existence is in you, forever gone! Yes, for
ever gone but yet, methinks hear a voic
of angelic sweetness, which whispers =
"only on earth is he gone from thee. Their

which thou shalt wake, freed from the bond
