Letter from Hon. Charles P. KimbaIl,

PORTLAND, June II, 1873.
w. H. SIMPSON, ESQ. My Dear Sir-I
have read carefully the article in your
paper of last week, urging the democracy
of Maine to again tender me the nomina-
ton for Governor, and for me to accept it,
with your very hattering estimate of my
past services, &c.,-all of which place me
under still greater obligations to you.
The democracy of Maine have twice
honored me with a unanimous nomi-
nation for Governor, and have given me the
most cordial and earnest support. That
they did not succeed was by no means
their fault
The kind and generous considerations l
received at the hands Of my friends, as
well as the very fair treatment from my
political opponents, have awakened in my
heart the most sincere regards for the
people of Maine and forced me topersonally
resolve to spend the balance OF my days
in my native state, and labor earnestly tor
| what believe to be the greatest good of
the people And yet | cannot help feel
ing that life is too short for me to hope
that may even one halt repay the kind
ness shown to me during the past few
years.
The democracy have done all and more
for me than | deserve and | do not de-
sire the nomination this year as a compli-
| ment or for any other purpose, as it is
we'll known that had long since finally
decided that under no considerations could
| again accept the nomination. This de-
termination remains unchanged there
fore leave the field open for you to select
some one more worthy and able than
myself to become your standard bearer
With thousand thanks to you, my
dear Sir, and to all my good friends who
have 50 earnestly and generously sup
ported me the past few years and my best
wishes tor your health and prosperity,
remain Yours with esteem
c. p KMBALL.
The above letter, received too late for
publication last week, explains itself We
| feel certain that the party in Maine, as
well as those abroad who have its welfare
at heart, will hear with universal regret
of this determination on the part of Mr..
Kimball He has been so true to the
party and its best interests, has borne
himself so bravely in the heat of contests
and so calmly in the discontinue OF unde-
served defeat, that his name has become
very dear to the true men who have
looked to him as a leader Whatever the
future may have in store for the party or
its former candidate, we know that their
mutual relations in the past have been
such that the memory will always be
pleasant Mr.. Kimbal retires with the
renewed attachment of his friends and
increased respect of his opponents.
1t will now devolve upon the coming
convention to select from among the many
prominent democrats of the state some
one worthy to be its standard bearer.
With such man, upon q correct plat
torn, we can deserve success, even though
we do not achieve it.

A LITTLE FIN WITH HopKT,

A LITTLE FUN WITH HOPKINS. Some
years ago, says Max Adeler, a new fire
company was organized at Reading, and
the members one evening thought they
would have a little innocent fun at the
expense Of Hopkins, their foreman They
decided to rush around with the engine to
Hopkins's house after dark, to throw up
their ladders, pull out their hose, climb
on his root and scare him with the belief
that his dwelling was on fire. But that
very day Hopkins moved out of the house,
and presbyterian clergyman moved in,
without the company beng aware of the
change. SO about eight o'clock the
humorists dashed out, and went through
all the movements, getting on the roof
and splashing water around, and creating
terrific disturbance generally. A rival
company noticing what was going on
also hurried to the scene, and without
understanding the joke, attached their
hose to a plug, smashed in the front win
dows, and began to empty two-inch
stream on the family Of that PRESBYTERIAN
clergyman. They squirted into all the
rooms, split up the window-shutters with
an axe, broke down the front door, ran
out the furniture, tore off the shingles,
and bawled through the trumpets until
the hired girl had commissions on the
kitchen stairs. The first company tried
to explain, but the newcomers thought
an effort was being made 10 get them out
OF the way, and a fight ensued and pres
emily firemen were sliding off the root,
and pelting down the chimneys, and
