JUICE JERE BLACK is supported by the
Democratic Press Of Pennsylvania for
United States Senator. The Radical
candidate to be beat will probably be
one Wallace, late Vice President Of the
Texas and Pacific Railroad Company,
and one of Tom Scott's pets. The ap
pearance Of Judge Black in the United
States Senate would look like return
to the good old times when men were
chosen for their merit and talent.

Third Day-Review by Governor



BANGOR, Sept. 3.-The day has been busy
one at the state muster ground. The crowd
of spectators was even greater than yesterday,
The morning reports of the several companies
aggregate III officers and men, divided as fol-
lows: First Regiment-Co. A, 40; Co. B. 81;
Co G, AZ; Co. d, 49, Co. E, so; Co. T, 81; Co.
G, IS; Co. FL, 81; Co. I, 81; Co. X, 80. Unat-
tached compaEies-M Guards OF
Portland, 80; Biddeford Light Infantry, 81
Coburn Cadets, A: Androscoggin Light Artil-
lery, 49, Nine men sick Of colds appeared at
Surgeons call. The morning roll call showed
that all the militia ware on hand. The artille-
~ drill attracted unusual attention, the evolu-
lions with horses attached to the guns were
made ON the gallop, while the service OF the
pieces was performed with the precision and
rapidity of veterans. The battalion drill to-day
was a decided improvement on that OF yester-
day. AT IL o'clock Gov. Dingley made an in
formal call upon Gen. Chamberlain at his head
quarters Many other distinguished visitors
paid their respects to that officer at his quar-
tiers.
To-day perfect order is maintained on the
grounds. Sergeant Noyes of the Androscog-
gin Artillery, stripped the uniforms off of three
men of that company for drunkenness. They
were then sent out of camp. Evidently this
command intends to maintain its reputation fol-
orderly conduct. The featura Of the day, how
ever, was the reception of Gov. Dingley and
the review which followed. About two O'Clock
the Governor and staff, mounted and escorted
BY the unattached battalion, entered the field
and were received with the Governors salute
of fifteen guns. At 4 o'clock the bugle sound
ed the call for review and inspection, and aftel
evolutions by the division, they were inspected
by Gen. Dyer, Inspector General, aud subse
ouently reviewed by Gov. Dingley and staff
accompanied by Gen. Chamberlain and staff
The review was very fine, and was witnessed
by over 10000 interested spectators.
A showerswhIch had been threatening dur
| ing the afternoon, began at the conclusion O.
| the review, and those in attendance had JUS
| time to get away from the field before the rail
| came down in torrents, lasting till between
and 10 o'clock and causing suspension OF dres
| parade and other intended movements OF tn
| day.
In the evening a reception, complimentary t.
| Gen. Chamberlain and staff, was given at Cit.
| Hall, which was attended by Gov. Dingiey ant
staff and other distinguished visitors, and by
large number of the citizens of this place. l
was very brilliant affair.

A Live Farmers Club.

Mr.. EDrroR:-Notwithstan the reported
depression in the lumber business, one might
suppose the trade fairly active if he had been
on the road from Walnut Hill to Cumberland
last Monday. Forty-two pairs of oxen and
horses were in line loaded with lumber. Halt
ing for while to rest their teams, the owners
without much ceremony metamorphosed them
selves into picnic, and were soon quietly get
ting into condition for further iourneying En-
quiry as to the cause of so unusual procession
led to the information that the Cumberland
Farmers Club had purchased new fair
grounds at West Cumberland, built first
class trotting track and were drawing this
lumber to iinclose them. The teamsters were
members of the club and seemingly more
jolly set of fellows never swung goad over
pair of pullers, or pulled rein over matched
pair of farm workers. They were very en-
thusiastic with regard to their coming fair,
said they Were going to make better show of
neat cattle than they ever had done, as the
surrounding were associated with them.
If earnestness and concentrated effort is indie
alive of success, we may expect the Cumber-
land Farmers Club will give show in Octo-
Der we'll worthy the attention of those inter-
ested in agricultural matters.

Pets and Pests,

Mr.. EDIToR:-It may be a difficult position
for any one to give advice to both parties VINO
are at variance, especially where there are good
reasons urged by each. One may be told t.
protect his dog even if he has to throw brick
at the one who attempts injury to his pet; and
to another to protect his person aud property
against the dog whether the property be in live
stock. fowl, or plant In either case even
though uniustly, decision may be rendered in
favor OF him who Yields the greatest influence
The dog is general feature 10 every city; oul
city is not deficient in the supply of this specie,
useful in some instances nuisance for the
greater part.
The number of inferior ours which are
treasured as household pets are, mainly, to the
community what the word pets would imply II

A burglar said that one of the things he

the little npstart gives his signal like fright

Tray who in silence waits his oP-
portunity. But nine-tenths of his alarms are
uncalled for, while neighborhood Is disturbed s

If there is no other or better way to rid us of
the extra amount needed, give Us dog pound.
If all the people in the city who privately com

would be an effectual worki accomplished.
