The arctic wave that swept over the
country on Sunday and Monday, sent the
thermometer down fearfully. In Belfast
it marked II below zero, at Portland 16,
at Waldoboro %, at Brunswick "a, while
in Vermont and New Hampshire it went
as low as SO.

OF the Democrats in Congress expect will
be attended to. Especially should there
be prompt and thorough investigation in
to the corruptions which have filled the
country with their scandals, and which
need the knife OF the surgeon to cut
through and through them. There should
be no hesitation about this. 1t is duty
which the majority owes to its party and
the country to make thorough work in
this direction.
Punic Faith in the Fourth District.
The evidence of bad faith in Bangor
towards the Republicans Of Aroostook is
accommodating. 1t will be remembered
that the latter, in attending the Congress
sional Convention at Bangor last sum
mer, made an energetic protest aga nst
the treatment of their section, which lad
been for thirty years ignored in the seec-
ton of candidates. This breach was tenn
porarily closed by a resolution formally
passed by the convention, in which the
candidacy for the remaining four years Of
the decade was conceded to the Aroos
took region. We remarked at the time
that it appeared very much like an eApe-
dent to bridge over dit1iculty-a oar-
gain to be kept OF repudiated, as circum-
stances might dictate in the future. 1t
was potent enough, however, to save
Plaistead his election, who would oher
wise have been defeated.
Since that time those who keep watch
of political signs have seen nothing t. in
dictate the future course of Bangor in this
| matter, until last week, when Plaistead's
vote on the third term resolution shew
| the course that he and his friends are
steering. 1t came through that svmpa-
thy which men in similar peril always
feel for each other. 1t will be remem-
bered that when the Pennsylvania Repub-
lican State Convention resolved against q
third term, Gen. Grant wrote to the pre-
siding officer letter that, so far as il had
any meaning, renowned pretensions to a
reelection. Here were these two dstin-
guished military men assaled by the same
peril each forced to renounce what he
ardently desired, and each with banker
ing for the grapes that he had declared
he wouldn't reach for. So, when the re-
solution was sprung upon the House, de-
claline against a third term, the decision
of the Bangor representative was prompt,
and he made one of the eighteen who
voted against it. If General Grant could
himself write letter renouncing a third
term, and then revoke it, why Gen. Tlals-
tead could ignore a resolution which his
friends had passed in convention. Be-
sides that, the President is the most
| grateful OF men, and never fails to sup
port those who support him. Bolstered
| by the favor of the executive and the pa
| tronage of the Fourth District what will
| the congressman care for the AroOstook
malcontents? Our Republican men and
brethren who dwell in the intervales OF
that fruitful county may therefore get
ready to receive their ballots next Sep

and crowded into the court house all the
neighbors, friends and acquaintance Of
the parties, who became better advertised
than though written up by newspaper
in first class style. The plaintiff had it
pretty much his own way until Mrs Ward

much as anybody about the true inward

The trouble she said arose concerning a
widow living in the same house, with
whom her husband became very intimate
After the parties on either side had told
all they knew OF suspected about each
other, and about forty witnesses had done
the same, they began to think the matter
over. Thinking led to the conclusion that
they were acting like fools. AS result
they consented that the case might be en-
tered neither party, and calling the fight
drawn one, retired from court. They

is the cry. A Rockland despatch says the
Grand Jury has indicted Levi Robbins,
publisher, Oliver Otis, editor, and Tim
othy McSweeny, correspondent of the
Rockland Opinion, for libelling Gen. Da-
Wis Tillson. 1t would be improper to
comment upon this matter while a judi

presumption, of course, that a fair trial
will be had, which is all that the accused

Piper the sexton whose trial in Bos-
ton for the murder of the little girl in the
belfry ended last week, was not found
guilty. The jury disagreed, nine being for
conviction. A report of the trial says
Piper may in truth be said to have had q
hair-breadth escape. One solitary hair was
found on his coat after he was arrested, and
the government claimed that it was from Ma
bels head, and introduced experts to prove it.
The defence contended that it was from the
head of young girl who sat in Piper's lap that
day, and on this hinged the result of the YER
dict. Could it have been proved beyond a
doubt that the hair was from MabeFs head,
nothing could have saved him from the gal
lows.
