MAINE CENTRAL The directors of tho
Maine Central held a meeting in this city (the
headquarters of the Board) afs the Falmouth,
Judge Rice presiding The principal business
of the meeting was to consider the proposition
of the people of Kendall's Mills village for
the railroad company to purchase the toll Fridge
between that village and the proposed line on
the east side of the Kennebec, and make it
free bridge on the condition that the citizens of
Kendall Mills obligate themselves to maintain
it. Messrs. Rice, Morrill, and Woods were
made committee to confer with the Kendalps
people on the subject. The directors are re-
ported to be disposed to make some satisfactory
arrangement in regard to the matter, particu-
larly now that the people of that town are not
disposed to interfere with the change of line.
We regret to learn that Judge Rice is suffering
from severe cold ~.

VALUABLE HISTORIC RELICs.-Dr. John M.
Cummings has presented for the benefit of the
Maine General Hospital Fair, to be holden at
Portland June 10th 1873, some very ancient
and valuable specimens of coin, exhumed in
1855 on Richmond's Island, near Cape Eliz
abeth, Maine. One of them,a silver sxpence, is
three hundred years old, bearing date 1873. On
one side is the crowned head of Queen Eliza
beth, with the word "Regina' PLAIN to the eye,
the rest of the inscription being illegible. The
reverse side contains a shield, the date, and
psrt of the inscription "Posvi Dew. Adirtorern
New" that is Posin Deum Adjutorern Meum,
81 have made God my helper,
This motto, ON the authority of our late es-
teemed historian, William Willis, was first
adopted by Edward Ill, and continued to be
used till the time of Charles I.
The other, a gold sovereign, represents the
crowned head of the King with a double ruff
round the neck and robe over the shoulder;
the figures Xxx behind the head aud the title,
"Cav. olus D. G. Mag. Br. Fir. ct. Hib. Rex"
on the reverse a new motto is introduced,
"Florent Concordia regna," that is, "Nations
flourish by peace.
The C rcumstanees attending the finding of
these coins, their character and description,
render it probable that they were buried as ear
ly as 1645, and Mr.. VIM. Willis, to whom
these with others were shown, expressed the
opinion that they formerly belonged to Bagnall
who was killed by the Sycamore Squidrast
and his company, Oct. Sd 1851. Be this as it
may, they are of great historic value into whose
soever hands they shall ultimately come.
A full description of the discovery of these
coins was published in the State of Maine news
paper May oath, 1855, and another article on
the subject soon after in the Massachusetts,
Historical Collection. A more full account is
contained in The Maine Historical Collection,
Vol. VI, page 1877.

CLOSED UP.-The Office of Assessor of Inter-
nal Revenue expired by limitation yesterday.
G. B. Lord, esq.,, of Alfred, the outgoing As
SCISSOR, has been in the Office eighteen months,
and while achieving the reputation of being an
efficient and faithful officer, always careful for
the interests of the government, performed the
duties of tie position, which are sometimes del
icate, in such manner as to secure the conf
dence and good will of all. The assistant as
SCISSORS, Messrs. James L. Rackleff of this city,
William F. Moody of Kennebunkport, and
Sylvester Littlefeld of Alfred, have won the
reputation of being as efficient officers as the
government could have had, with the rare tact
of creating little friction as is possible in the
performance of duties that are not favorably
regarded by the people at large. We under
stand that Mr.. Racklef will be Assistant Col
lector of Internal Revenue in this district. The
work of filing papers, many of which were left
unarranged by the preceding assessor, has been
been ON onerous task and one that has been
discharged in very thorough and me,hodical
Kramer. Great credit should be given Mr..
Lord for his admirable superintedence in this
