Boston, %. A. G. Underwood, defaulting
cashier of Milford National Bank, always
stood very high in the community, and was
at one time bank commissioner under the
old State law about seventy years of age, and
has been with the bank many years. He
makes no defence except that his salary was
small. The irregularity is the result of the
aspiration by Mr.. Underwood of commission
and fees that properly belonged to the bank,
the extent of which after a long series of
years is only in the neighborhood of $500,
which was paid into the bank before it was
examined by Mr.. Needham.

Union Cheese versus New York Cheese.

For several years past we have used the so
called New York Cheese. We have asked,
why cannot Maine produce as good cheese as
New York?
few days since we had the pleasure Of
testing this table luxury manufactured by the
Union Cheese Manufacturing CO. at Union,
Maine, and we unhesitatingly pronounce it
equal to any New York cheese we ever tasted
We are right glad that new impetus has,
and is being given to the manufacturing inter-
ests in Maine.
Our forests are disappearing, our inviting
water power is greatly neglected. Our young
men seek business in the 'West," but if mon
eyed and business men will engage in man
uIacturing they will thereby increase our
population, furnish more extensive markets
for our farmers and obviate the necessity Of
our young men needing the advice" Go west

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

The BROOKLYN Union says :-'Not halfth
evidence has been received by the committee.
Moulton will be invited 10 testify before
Beecher, whose statement will be reserved
until the last moment. Mrs. Til:on will be
again called and possibly Tilton.
Edward Ovngton, at whose honse Mrs.
Tllton is stopping, says she is perfectly calm
and serene. She read the interview with
Mrs. Stanton, and pronounced it utterly
false. She had been advised by friends not
to make any written denial of statements
from such sources. Mrs. Tilton's children
have gone to Mont Clair to her friends"
The Brooklyn Eagle says DR.. Stone who
is cow enjoying vacation at Princeton,
Mass, is 10 be summoned to testify as to his
interview with Tilton when the statement of
the alleged offence of Beecher was made
Beecher will not appear before the committee
might or to- morrow evening, as he cannot
testify satisfactorily to himself or others until
he has seen the originals of the letters written
by him. lie has kept no copies of any letters
he has written.
Mr.. Sage said to- day that to the best of his
recollection, nothing was omitted from Til
tons testimony in the published statement
and that he (Sage) did not hear Tilton testify
to Beecher's and Mrs. Tilton's confession of
criminaty. He might have said this in an in
formal chat with some members of the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Clatlin says he was not present when
the alleged omitted testimony was given, but
understands the statements were made in an
informal conversation on one afternoon when
no testimony was taken.
Another member of the committee says
Tilton came one afternoon before them and
said he was not well enough to proceed with
the testimony. A desultory conversation en-
sued, in which he made a statement about the
confessions of Beecher. No notice was taken
of this, as the meeting and conversation were
| informal.
| The same committee man said Beecher's
examination when made will be most rigid,
| but whether written or oral he could not say.

Our good citizens living on Green street
are talking quite enthusiastically about the
construction of sewer to run the entire
length of that street, from the base of the hill
south of the Cemetery to good and sufficient
outlet; and to show that they "mean bust
ness" the property holders on either side of
the street will pledge $50 or 500 each to-
wards paying the expenses of construction.
Such an enterprise would add immensely to
the value OF property in that neighborhood
which is annually flooded BY the spring rains
and snow MEETINGS. But a sewer there, al
though much needed, would be the Inaugural
ton of a part of system which should be
carried out in its entirety. The first efforts
in that direction should be made upon
Water street, where the grand sewer for the
outlet of other sewers should be placed.
That will be beginning at the foundation,
generally considered the proper place. Other
cities whose resources are as limited as those
of Augusta, have their business streets drain
ed and paved.
