were bathing in the'crcck, and repairing in sight
the two men were pointed out, arrested and brought
to our prison. ou.Monday afternoon sheria1pie
started with the prisoners for Huntin gdon, wher.
1t appears the crime was committed, f.1
Tho facts are about these: The two men had

street, his head all cut and bruised. After having
OIL these men, Mr.. Patterson had between $500

and to where they had invited their lady( friend,
and had takengquarters in a log camp for the

A REPUBLICAN, VICTORY IN MAINE.

PORTLAND, Sept. S.-One of the most
quiet elections ever held in this State
occurred to-day. There were no exer-
tions made to get out large represen.
tation, and the result of the vote OF
this year is about two-thirds that OF
last. Whatever of animation there was
was caused by local issues, and in sew
eral cities politics were ignored alto
gether, as in the case of Eastport, where
the election turned on the question OF
the introduction of water into the city.
In this city very small vote was
thrown, and the Republicans carried
every ward and elected their representa-.
tives. The Democrats, however, gain
five representatives in the county. Only
little over one hundred towns have
been heard from. The fight for repre-
sentatives was lively in some places, and
as far as heard from the Democrats
have made gain of eight.
The vote this year will not exceed
eighty thousand, and Dingley's majority
will probably be about eleven thousand.

ated from the floor for Governor, was

up IN A BALLOON.

Tomorrow, wind and weather proving
favorable, the Daily Graphic balloon
will make an attempt to cross the Allan
tic ocean. Thousands of dollars have
been expended by the managers of the
Graphic towards making the trip sue
cess, and the United States government
has given some encouragement to the
movement.
Towards New York, or, rather, Brook
Ign, the eyes of the people of the two
worlds will be turned tomorrow, and if
the ascension takes place, and the great
air-ship gets out of sight, for the next
day or two everybody will be looking
for news from the floating steamer.
Professors Donaldson and Wise, who
propose making the ascension, are con-
fident in their belief that the balloon
will strike the desired current, and make
landing in the old world. Wejoin in the
hope that the trip may be successful
one, and that the interests of science
may be advanced.

"ALL RIGHT

An Atchison, Kan, paper relates the
story of hulking, six foot customer,
who, few days ago, appeared on the
street in that city, causing the timid to

by reason of loud mouthings on his part
in relation to the war. He was with

live long enough to plant many a

siastic on the subject, and would have
been blowing to this moment probably,
had not slender built man, who once
wore the blue, come up at the time.
The "nigger" slayer addressed his con-

lost himself, for the ex-Union soldier
turned and ordered him to instantly
clear out.
This he refused to do, whereupon the

WRECKED CREWS ON AN ARCTIC IS
LAND.

New BEDFORD, Sept. S.-The schoon-
er Abbie Bradford, at this port from
Hudson's Bay, reports the loss OF two
New Bedford whalers, and brings por-
ton of the crew of one of them. The
particulars are as follows: On the 14th
of September, 1872, the bark Orray
Taft, at anchor near Marble Island,
Hudson's Bay, parted her cables and
went ashore, landing high and dry in
such position that she cannot be got
off. On the 10th of October following
the bark Ansel Gibbs went ashore a
the same place, went to pieces and is at
total wreck.
The Orray Trait had no oil, but the
Ansel Gibbs had five hundred and fifty
barrels of whale oil and eleven thou
sand pounds of bone, most of which
was lost. A small amount was saved by
the Abbie Bradford. No men were lost
at the time of the wrecks, but both
crews were obliged TO live on the Is,
land until the I'd of August last, and
from exposure and the lack of proper
good were attacked by scurvy. The
winter was fearfully cold, being the
most severe for number of years, SC
that the natives of the Island died by
scores and the wrecked crews suffered
exceedingly. Ten of the crew of the
Ansel Gibbs and four of the crew of the
Orray Taft died.

They conduct prayer-meetings in a
novel way in Chicago. One of the po-
pular divines of that city entertained
his people with n full account of his
visit to the Rocky Mountains, with vivid
descriptions of scenery, squaws, war
dances, scalps, pappooses, peace men,
and prairie dogs. These devotional ex-
ercises were listened to with the great
est interest, and interrupted with fire.
quent bursts Of applause and laughter.
There is no question that a prayer
meeting conducted in this way would
be as entertaining as lyceum, or circus
for that matter but we should like the
opinion of experts as to its effect in
awakening contrition for sin and pro-
ducing piety. There is no doubt that a
set of decidedly jolly Christians might
be developed by the Chicago process,
but we should like to see some of DR..
Goodwin's specimen saints.
