The NAME OF MOUNT DEsERT-A CORE

THE NAME OF MOUNT DEsERT.-A CORE
spondent of the Commonwealth gives the fol-
lowing relative to the name of the island of
Mount Desert:
This relation reminds me of an account
have just heard from lady, who is native of
that part of the coast Of Maine, of the origin of
the name Mount Desert. ''What is the true
pronunciation?' inquired. "When was a
child used to hear the old people say Mount
true name? though I've been told no one
knows It's origin" The lady replied, '"rhe
name is Mount Desert. and its origin is as fol-
lows: In the early days, the days of supersti-
ton, some of the people were sailing by the
place in the night, when they observed lights
approached, the lights deserted behind the
mountains. Hence the origin of the name"

CUMBERLAND CENTRE FAIR.-Owing to the
indisposition of the chairman of the commit
tee on working oxen, and the short time the
committee had to examine the stock, the re-
port has been delayed and is now very meagre
and imperfect.
r. Mountfort of Falmouth, received the first
premium on years old under feet, and Ed
ward Lambert of Freeport, the second. Mr..
Lambert always has good steers and knows
how to handle them.
Charles W. Winslow of Falmouth, exhibited
a splendid fair of four year olds, which walked
through their yoke like breaking sticks, there
fore the committee could not determine posi-
lively upon their working qualities, and they
were removed much to the disgust of the by
ISLANDERS. By this time dinner was announced
and all repaired to the tent and partook of one
of those dinners which the Cumberland Centre
women are famous for getting up. Ample
justice was done to the excellent viands. Dur
ing lull in the storm, Mr.. Stephen Hustin of
Falmouth, put pair of seven feet cattle on
the drag, which hauled the load with the
greatest of ease. The rain was now falling
fast and it was decided to adjourn until the
next fair day. The four years old exhibited by
Mr.. Russell and Mr.. Doughty were unusually
fine looking cattle. Charles Merrill had very
fine matched pair of seven feet cattle. Thomas
Pratt of Falmouth exhibited fine pair of
fat cattle; R. A. Chase of North Yarmouth, a
pair of two years old twin steers trained to per-
form as well out of the yoke as in it. They
were driven by boy thirteen years old. There
were other Cattle which would have been we'll
worth noticing if we had had time to examine
them.
Nothing but the best of feeling prevailed
The community and the people of the Centre
appear to have large degree of spunk. They
are bound to show to the public what can be
done in the way of fair next year, wet or
dry.
If there has been any mistake made in
awarding premiums or any one feels that they
have been sighted in not being noticed, we will

MARINE AcCIDENT.-The schooner Mary H.
Lewis, owned in Harpswell, was running into
Harpswell yesterday morning about o'clock,
heavily loaded with herring. when she filed
and went down. The captain seeing she was
sinking run her int the beach and the crew
were all saved. She struck on the sand near
the wharf and Immediately keeled over on one
side, losing about eighty barrels of herring
overheard. She lay in quite an easy position,
and it was thought that she could be raised
with but slight damage. At low water she
was about half in sight She is about 20 tons,
and is owned by Capt. S. Orr, and commanded
by his son. Capt. Orr came to this city yester-
day to procure material for raising the schoon-
er to-day.
1t is thoughtIthat the accident was caused by
the schooner being overloaded, and as the wa
ter was very rough she took great deal of
water. The loss of the herring is considerable,
but the crew were very fortunate in getting off
dry shod as they did.

To-days dispatches announce three more
mercantile failures in New York City, and one
bank failure III Newark, N, j. 1t is evident
that the condition of things i'll the Eastern
cities does not improve. Among the New
York City failures In the last week, one OF the
prominent causes is the shrinkage in value, of
real estate, in which investments have been
made by the individuals Of mercantile firms.
This was the acknowledged cause in the fail
ure OF Lewis j PhilIi IS and other merchants
who have suspended in the past week. AS the
great decline OF at least4O per cent. i'll real es
tate in New York has only been definitely es-
tablished within Il e past six or eight weeks, 1t
must be expected that this shrlnkage will cause
many more Suspensions before the eud OF the
year. -Chicogo inter Ocean.

A judicious friend in central Illinois writes
the Age as follows
81 wish to ask your opinion-now that the
elections are over-as to the propriety of call
ing our National independent Committee to-
gether at the same time the Farmers meet in
bloomington in January. am OF tie opinion
that the Democrats are convinced by this time
they can never carry this country under that
name, with all their sins.
Therefore if a new party is to be formed for
1876 no time is to he lost. We must have a
policy, and an organization around which the
friends OF our reform can crystalize.
Would it not be well tor our committee to
set time and place for holding national
convention at as early day as possible?''
From the above it will be seen that the sub
ject of a National Independent Convention is
beginning to attract attention. In answer to
its correspondents the Age will say the COM
mlttee is having the subject Of the Convention
under consideration and will act the coming
week
The work of organizing a national party
should be gone at slowly aid surely. The
people are ripe--or will be before March next
to- cut loose from their former partizan assOcia-
tons, and attach themselves to some organiza-
ton not SO controlled by capital as to make it a
machine to rob them.-ChicogO Industrial Age
The prospect is gloomy. 1t seems
impossible for the Democracy to win
alone; and equally impossible to trans
fer the Democratic vote to any new or
ganlZation. In the meantime Grant

then was not reelected state agent. The

three days after the election to see the sneers
at the CHANGERS by the four large monopoly dali
lies OF this city. The threatened defeat OF Gov.
Taylor seemed to delight them clear through.

think they have any thing to expect from the
large city daiiies The monopoies have them
every time; and it is from the monopoiles that
they derive large share Of their income. Cht
