After the Waterman returned, the two
men also returned, stating that the trunk
had been left at the wrong office, and
should 60 to the Adams Express.
They loaded it into the wagon and dis

the full expectation that the law will be
executed upon him. His mind is not par

the amount of money and labor required,

a mistake to suppose that a publication

the reader run over in his mind the list of

has been built up slowly, laboriously, and
by the most careful attention to each step

AMIRDER The North Star learns that
some time the first Of August, 4 Young
man by the name of Boiler, belonging in
Canada, came from Vim, where he had
been at work, having last winter worked
for Mr. traitor of Masardis. He had with
him something like three hundred dollars,
and was going home to his parents. He
came to Fort Kent on his way home, and
crossed the St John River, intending to
go to Little Falls and so home One Silber
Outlet, also a Canadian, crossed the river
with him and went in his company, and
arrived in Canada This young Boilers
father, not hearing from his son, came
through in search of him, which resulted
in finding his body two miles above Little
Falls, on the Province side, with his head
badly broken in with a club, and his mon
ey gone. A good many, in passing the
bridge where he was found, saw blood on
the bridge, but nothing was thought Of it
as no one was missing, but as soon as it
was known that the Young man was miss
ing, search was made and the body found
No doubt Outlet knew Boiler bad money,
killed him and dragged the body into the
WOODS.

CONTEMPLATED CHANGES on THE RAIL
ROAD. The kennebec journal says Il change
is contemplated i'll the running of several trains
on the Maine Central Railroad which will be
very fay Orably received by business men and
others who have occasion to travel. The Pull
man night train that now leaves Bangor at !
40 p. NJ. will leave nj 1 80, arriving in Augusta
nj O'Clock, instead of at IL. and reaching Bos-
ton AT O'Clock i'll the morning. The return
Pullman train which now leaves Boston at 4. 20
p. NJ. (for Maine) Will leave at midnight arriv
ing in Augusta at SD, instead OF at halt-past
two i'll the morning, and continuing through to
Bangor These arrangements VIII be found
more convenient for travel 10 Boston from this
section, and enable Il person in Augusta to 60 to
st. John in one day, and also to visit Bangor.
" aterVllle or SkOwhegan, and return the same
day. This latter is getting over difficulty
which has long existed. This arrangement will
also save PIG miles Of travel to the road, as the
forenoon and afternoon mixed trains on the
road will be discontinued For the contem-
plated and very convenient new time table the
public are indebted to Mir. l.. l.. Lincoln, Super
intendent of the road, whose interchangeable la
bors are always directed to the interests of the
public whom he serves.
The Portland and Bangor papers, we
notice. are inclined to find fault with the
above arrangement; but it is very evi-
dent that full consideration Of the mat
ter, With reference to all the interests in
volved and all the wants Of the public to
be served, will result in a decision favor
ing the change. II will give to the Show
hogan. Dexter and Belfast branches close
connection with the night trains, which
they do not now have. Passengers from
Belfast have now but one train per day by
which to reach Bangor By the new plan
they can 90 by both morning and evening
trains On the arrival of the morning
train from Belfast at Burnham, passengers
will find the night train that left Boston
the evening before, bound to Bangor, as
well as the morning train from Bangor tol
Boston, which will pass each other at that
point There is but little doubt that after
a little experience the new timetable will
commend itself to those most interested,
the travelling public, however it may in
tertere with the plans or prejudice of a
few localities. I'VE can't have everything
to please us, but we can submit grace,
fully to that which suits the convenience

The Portland Press undertakes to record
the failure of q Democratic celebration in
Cherryfeld, where it says the leaders en-
gagged q band, a supper for one hundred
and fifty, and only a bakers dozen came.
The joke Of the Press rather loses its point
when the record of the votes in 1873 is re-
ferred to, and it is seen that only twenty
five Democratic votes were cast in town,
Our friends of the Press should keep

The lard of the Arkansaw Traveller is
again precipitated into anarchy, chaos
and confusion. Baxter, whose claims to
the Govcrnorship against Brooks were
confirmed by the President, has abdicated
his authority in favor Of one Garland, a
bitter and rampant Rebel. Smith, who
was elected Lieutenant>G Governor on the
Baxter ticket, claims to be the legal sue
cessor, Bakers term not having regu'
lslly expired. This conAiction presents
oil the phases Of disorder and reckless
lawlessness that characterized the disgrace
full controversy between Brooks and Bax'
ter. The State is in q blaze Of excite
ment. The editors Of Republican papers
are being arrested and put under heavy
bonds. Prominent citizens are arrested
and jailed ; men are whipped by lnfuria'
ted mobs women and children are driven
from their homes, and every species o.
cruelty and wrong is being practiced by
the adherents Of the usurper Garland
This infamous disgrace, it seems, can only
be suppressed by the interference Of the
Government.

Not 50 Bad After All.

Mrs. s. NJ. Pollard, a young milliner
Of BiDghampton, N. Y, is in luck. Her
fathers brother and her uncle, was wild,
and wandered off to California in the ear
~ days Of the GOLDEN State, when he was
a young mar and his niece a l;ttls girl.
The wanderers family would have MOTH
Ing more to do with him, and never got
any news from the farsoff land in which
he had thrown himself away. They
thought and spoke Of him as gone to the
dogs, and a disgrace to the honorable
name Of Pollard. Little Miss Pollard
remembered her uncle. He had been
good and kind and gentle to her, aud she
never thought he was SO bad a man.
When she grew a little, she made efforts
to ascertain her %uncle's Whereabouts, and
succeeded. She wrote TO him. in her little
pratllng way, and he became interested in
the correspondence, and answered her
letters regularly. Thus Miss Pollard
kept up a constant communication with
her uncle. Who knows but that cor
rcspondepce with an innocent girl may
have saved him, and induced MIN to
change his wild ways?
The other day Miss po lard received a
letter from San Francisco stating that
her uncle had recently died, leaving her
sole heir to his property, consisting Of
$685. GOO in cash and $1,000 600 IN houses
and lands So Uncle Pollard was not so
bad a man after all. He was certainly
good enough for the PAPER aud postage
expended in keeping up q correspondence
with him. Little girls should always
lovingly remember their unclss in India
or California. 1t does not cost much, and
the investment, without any very great
risk Of loss, sometimes pays. It did in
Miss POllsrd's case. She will nov buy
he. bObnets aud other fine ixirgs at the
old stand, aud bless Uncle Pollard's
memory as long as she lives.

HORRIBLE.
Murdered His wife md Burned
Her I'm.

ST. LOUIS, November 3.-The Waters
loo, Munro County, ILL.,, Times to-day has
an account of the arrest and preliminary
examination Of Barney Mcmahon, living
three miles from huntsville, for the MUIR
der of his wife OF the 9th of last August,
aud the subsequent burning of her body.
1t appears that Mcmahon and his wife
lived unhappily, aud frequent quarrels &C.
curing between them ; and his children
by a former wife treated her very badly.
Mrs. McMabon had left home several
times under harsh treatment, but always
b d been persuaded to return by her hus>
band. On August 9Th Nc NIahon sent his
children to visit some friends, and on
their return the next day were told that
their mother bad started to huntsville,
since when she had not been heard from.
Or the day of her disappearance Nc Ma
hou fired a log cheap some distance from
the house and kept it burning two weeks.
1t emitted a terrible stencil, and when
asked the cause, Me Mahon said he was
burning chickens that had died of cholera.
Suspicion having been aroused that
Mrs. Mcmahon had been foully dealt
with, Samuel Pretine, independent de.
tectlve of St. Louis, was employed to
work up the care. Pretine and prosecu.
ting attorney REESE arrived here to-day,
and the Evening Dispatch gives quite a
lengthy account of the affair derived from
them.
After McMah ms og,heap was burned
the ground was plowed over, but on ex
animation, the detective found several
hair pins, small buttons, and bones, which
looked like finger bones and part of an
upper javbone with teeth attached.
This led to the arrest Of Mcmahon. and
the evidence adduced at the preliminary
examination and the improbable and
contradictory statements made by McMa'
hon and his children. led to his being
held in 81 900 bond to answer the charge
of mans'aughter. Great excitement ex,
lists in the neighborbood. Mcmahon is
we'll advanced in life, and has grown
children.
