AFFIDAVIT 3Y EVANS KENPFR
The following affidavit is corroborative
II Sheriff Drew's statement
The Cider Question.

ihe Augusta correspondent OF The Lew
iston journal. gives the following as the
present condition of this great moral
question
The cider question has not yet been de-
cided by the committee on temperance.
The committee are unanimously in favor
of striking out the word cider from the
first section of the law relating to drink
ing houses, leaving that part of the sec
ton which prohibits the sale Of iutoxicat-
ing liquors to cover cider wnen it is in
toxicating. About half the committee
are also in favor Of striking out entirely
the cider exemption section, leaving the
sale of cider entirely to the first section.
Some OF the committee, however, are
fearful that the enemies of the prohibitory
law might use it IN this shape to prosecute
a farmer for selling barrel Of termented
cider, in order to bring the law into
odium; and to avoid this, some members
desire to have the law confined to the pro-
hibition OF the sale of Intoxicating cider
to be drank on the premises. Mr. Earring
ton of Fryeburg, has made q proposition,
which meets with decided favor, to have
the law apply to the sale of cider TO be
drank on the premises unless the court
or jury trying the case shall find that such
cider is not intoxicating, and not to the
sale of cider under any other circum-
| stances. The feeling in favor Of repeal
ing the present cider law is unanimous.
A proposition to strike lager beer from
| the first section of the law against drink
ing houses and tipplng-shops, was re-
Jected by the committee by vote OF | to
| 16.

A Mystery Revealed.

The iiend Evans, charged with ont
raging and numbering the young girl at
NorthwoOd. n. H.. has been found guilty
and sentenced to be hanged As the law
of New Hampshire IS similar to that OF
Maine. Evans will remain in prison one
yea before being executed. 1t will be
seen by thu account in another column
that he has made partial confession Of
several atrocious crimes in his past life,
and among them the murder of Young
girl near Augusta, in this State, in 1861
The probability that this might be the
Strong murder case which made great
sensation AT the time al once occurred to
Us. The facts are these: A family living
in that town had young daughter, u
handsome and intelligent girl Of about 10.
They also employed a farm laborer named
DOYLE, native of the British provinces
simple minded and apparently honest
fellow. This man owned a few sheep,
which were pastured on the place, and he
usually spent portion OF Sundays IN
looking after them One Sunday he told
the people at the house that he was going
to see his sheep and went towards piece
OF woods that bordered the pasture. Soon
afterwards the girl started alone to church,
the road to which lay through the woods.
in part. She was never again seen alive
by her friends, A long and careful
search was made by the excited people of
the town, which lasted Tor days. At last
an artfully constructed grave was found in
a grassy spot in the woods. The turf had
been cut and turned back, cavity hollow
ed ont, the body laid therein, the turf re-
placed, and every vestige Of supertiuous
earth carried away. Some twigs had
been broken off and stuck about the spot
to further conceal it; and it was the wilt
ing OF these that drew attention to the
grave.
Suspicion fell upon Doyle. He was ar
rested and indicted. The evidence was
entirely circumstantial. Beyond the facts
that he had INDUCED in loose remarks
about the girl, and had remained away
during the fatal Gay, there was absolutely
| nothing even to direct suspicion toward
him. He was defended by Hon f.. F.
Pillsbury, with all OF the great abilities OF
| that gentleman-yet such was the excited
! state OF the public mind, that he was con-
| victed, sentenced to death, and mprison-
ed, Mr.. PillsburY, who thoroughly be-
| lieved in the innocence Of his client, was
untirng in his efforts to procure pardon,
appearing repeatedly before the Governor
and Council, and urging the matter. 1t
was with him 4 labor in the cause of JUS
tice, for Doyle was poor and friendless
man. He was able to succeed so far rs
| that the sentence was allowed to remain
| unexecuted and after langushing in
prison few years, Doyle died, protesting
in his last hours that he was an innocent
man. 1t will be one of the most curious
chapters in the history Of criminal trials,
if it shall prove that Evans was really the
perpetrator of this murder, which SC near
| ly resembles, in its general features, his
other crimes.

An enthusi astic railroad meeting was
held at Camden on Tuesday of last week,
at which Edward Cushing. Esq, presid-
ed. P. J. Carleton Esq, stated the object
of the meeting in the following remarks
Mr.. p. j. Carleton being called upon, alluded
to the meeting recently held in Portland, be-
tween a committee of the Knox and Lincoln
and P. B. and River Railroad, with Col. Lied
ley, n well known railroad contractor of New
York, and made the following statements, viz:
that Col LiedIey would contract to build the
road from Rockland to Winterport for thirty
thousand dollars per nile, and from Winter
port to Bangor for thirty-five thousand dollars
per mile, and that he SAID Col. Liedley would
invest three hundred thousand dollars at the
rate of five for every thirty thousand, in the
road, considering it, as he did, good invest
ment. Mr.. Carleton stated that the charter for
a road from WinterpOrt to Bangor had expired
and for that reason the road must be built from
Rockand to Bangor. He said that now is the
time to strike, and that we might as well make
up our minds now as at any other time whether
we, as a town, will vote the limit allowed by
law, viz: five per cent. of the State valuation,
for the construction of the road. We have
been talking railroad long enough, he said. and
now is the time to act.
Remarks were also made by D. Knowl-
ton, T. r. Simonton and others, and a
resolve passed looking to immediate ac-
ton at town meeting.

The narrow guage railroad which once
pointed 80 decidedly in the direction of
Bangor, seems to have been DETECTED
toward Bucksport, it we may Judge by
the following from the Machias Repnbli
can--
II Is very doubtful whether Machias will vote
dollar for the survey of the road from Ellis
worth to Calais until something more is known
in regard to the policy to be pursued. There is
des'ded reaction against Bangor as terminus,
and in favor of Bucksport. This reaction is so
unmistaKable, that no one now thinks of Ban
gor with favor, and we know some of our most
earnest railroad men will oppose any further
action having reference to Bangor at all, but
are ready to do double duty to 90 to Bucksport.
But as Bucksport is about to build a
road to Bangor, the travel and traffic NAV
| reach the latter place indirectly, unless
our friends who live under the guns Of
Fort Knox are smart enough to Stop it
there. We are glad to see our friends at
Bucksport are in way to improve their
very decided natural advantages.
