Concerning locating telegraph Office al
our railroad station, the Judge seems to be
somewhat in the condition of a certain dealer
in miscellaneous everything, who, as the
Judge tells the story, was one day. in olden
time, visited by pious preacher and con-
graduated that he kept so full and complete
an assortment of goods for every variety and
class of purchasers; "but," said the good
man, "There seems to be one thing lacking.
can discover no religion about the prem.
ises." VERY true" says John, II though,
Of that very thing the last time went to Bos.
ton for goods, and should have ordered full
supply, but concluded that my store was no,
spacious enough to hold it," The "point" as
the Judge proceeded with his story, in his
own inimitsble manner, was quite apparent.
The new depot, projected for the present sea-
son, will obviate all difficulties, and furnish
ample space and facilities for the telegraph
Office, &c.

Caucus in Gardiner.

I
Last Friday evening our republican breth.
rem Of Gardiner held their caucus for the nom.
ination Of mayor. The contest was spirited
and earnest, but resulted in the denomination
of the Hon. D. c. Palmer, who has held the
office for the past two years.
The caucus was called to order by Joshua
Gray, chairman Of the city committee. James
Nash was chosen chairman, and Maj. E. d.
Haley, secretary.
| On motion of Mr.. Stoddard, James L. Stod-
dard, H. K. Morrell, W. F. Richards, /. A..
Stanwood and James NJ. Colson, were ap-
pointed a committee to receive, sort and
count votes. H. X. Morrell withdrew his
name as candidate, announcing that 1t had
been used without his knowledge or consent.
The committee took places in front Of the
chairman, and the voting commenced. As
the hall was packed to its utmost capacity, it
| was deemed best that the voters should pass
around the hall, by the committee, and then
out of the door. After some twenty or more
had voted and left the hall, the cry was raised
that there was double voting. A member of
| the committee announced that one man, whom
he could name, had voted three times. Then
| a scene Of confusion and excitement ensued.
Babel was let loose, amid cries of "name the
repeater. "adjourn to the polls" and conflict
ing motions of all sort, no man knew how to
grapple with the difficulty. But it was finally
decided to allow the voting to continue, a. it
seemed unjust to disfranchise those who had
cast their votes in good faith. The voting
continued with considerable excitement until
the polls were declared closed.
The committee subsequently reported as
follows:
