CRY OF NEW C.srLE, Oct. 81, rs.
For number of years after the Penn
Tract, or New Castle Commons, was divided
into farms the people of the town derived
very little, if any, benefit from them, it re-
quiriny all or nearly all the income, which
wa: small in those days, to pay for iaproye-
mcnts on them. But as time progressed
and the income began to exceed the ex-
penses the Trustees made small appropria-
tons to The town for variors purposes, such as
paving street ana othcrpublic icimprovements
This continued till about 1350,so far as lean
learn, when they thought the surplus funds
could not be used to better advantage
than in afforling the children of the citizens
an opportunity of securing good common
school education free of cost. Accordingly
they procured from the U.S., a building
used as an armory, on Market street, put
another story to it, and had it fitted up as
school building with five good rooms,
First class teachers were then employed,
and the schools opened, under The direc-
ton and management Of the Trustees, and
SO continued until last spring, as mentioned
in former letter, and during tiat period
attained an enviable reputation. This re-
lieved the people of any tax for school puy-
poses, and as the sum raised for town pur-
poses could not by law exceed $1,000 in any
one year, the burden Of taxation was ex
ceedingly light. Now, however, all this
c5 ci5.-noed, and the city Of New Castle. falls
into the line Of taxed cities. d. ..'''"'
The frequency of fires Which occurred
here some few years back made the need of
fire department, and water from plugs ap-
parent. There had been in existence for
some years a fire company, and they had an
engine, hose, &C., but they had very little
care, and were of little consequence in an
emergency, added to which there were 70
means of obtaining water except by the
town pumps, which could not always lie re-
lied on. In order to obvate tLi, difficulty
as well as to get good supply of good
water, company was formed and incorpor-
ated, to supply the town with wster by
means of basin, as in other towns. After
the books for subscriptions to the stock
were opened, it was such uphill work that
The Trustees stepped forward, and guaran-
'eeing the interest on s50, 900 worth OF the
bonds Of the company enabled it at once to
dispose OF, bonds sufficient to begin and com,
'letc the erection Of works, which was dcne
n one season, and the city is now we'll sup
'lied with water, which although not of
irst quality, is yet good enough for general
purposes. MORE ANON.

REFUSED CHRISTIAN BURIAL.-A resi- dent
of Gardiner informs us that there has been con-
siderable interest within few weeks ia that city
respecting the action of the Catholic priest at
Augusta, with reference to the burial of person
who held to that faith. The family is one highly
respected in the city. A son went to Calior
mia and while suffering from mental alteration
committed suicide. The body was sent home
and on its arrival the clergyman of their church
was requested to administer the usual rites of
the church to The dead. He refused to do so
and refused the burial of the suicide in conse-
Grated ground The family had not been very
strict church people, yet had always attended
to all the duties required. This, howey er, was
too much they Immediately purchased lot in
the city cemetery and invited the Episcopal
clergyman, Rev. Mr. Leffiogwel, to officiate at
the funeral, which he did. There was a very
large concourse of people at the cemetery on
the occasion of the burial. The following Sun
day the family of the deceased attended the
Episcopal church, having renounced the Cath
olic church.

Inctdents of Early Times

Mr.. EDIToR:-In the time of the famous In
dian chief, Poland, Capt. Thomas Chute OF
Windham, who was the first settler on the ter
ritory which is now the town of Windham
owned dog which had been taught to go aftel
the cattle and drive them to the garrison.
When the Indians were troublesome or known
to be lurking about to shoot the settlers, this
dog was sent for the cattle because the Indians
would not shoot him, evidently rot regarding
him as their enemy.
The chief. Poland, was shot by Stephen Man.
chester IN Windham. His body was taken to
Songo and buried. When the Cumberland and
Oxford Canal was dug, Col. Joseph Dingley Of
Raymond, found the remains. Poland was a
Short but very stout built man, with broad
face Dingley was large, fleshy man, but the
jaw bone Of the skeleton was large enough to
slip over Dingleys face. In the ce ntre of the
body was found a lead slug. 1t is quite proba-
BILE that this was the fatal lead, as it had the
appearance of being fred through musket

death of Poland. G. VIC.

BURNING OF A MAINE SHIp-A few DAYS
since despat h announced the burning of the
ship John Pascal on her voyage from Calcutta
to New York. Eight men who belonged to the
crew recently arrived at Portsmouth, England,
by the steamship African from Ascension,
where they had b'en left. The captain, wife,
and balance of the crew were taken on board
the ship Victoria on her way to Boston. The
fire was discovered when the ship was about
300 miles West of st. Helena. The cargo con.
sisted of jute, linseed and India rubber, and
when on fire it was impossible to extingush
the flames. Fortunately at this juncture the
ship Victoria hove i, sight and took as many
of the crew as she had provisions for. The
Others were left at Ascension as before stated
1t was the first voyage of the John Pascal from
Calcutta to New York. The Pascal was built
either at Bangor or Thomaston-we think the
former
