A Denial.
Advices from London deny the story of love
and assassination, in which the King OF Spain and
Duke De Serto are represented as the principal
actors. One version, speaking OF the wife and
daughter of Spanish colonel, shows its falsity,
from the TACT that the colonel mentioned is well
known in New York, where he resided long
time, and married an American lady who has no
daughter; and the gentleman, instead of being
sassinated, is alive and in comfortable ciicum-
stances.

BY the President Of The United States Of Amer
A PROCLAMATION.
In accordance with practice at orce wise and
beautiful we have been accustomed as the year is
drawing to close, TO devote an occasion to the
humble expression of our thanks to Almighty
God, for the ceaseless and distinguished benefits
bestowed upon us as nation, and for his mer-
cies and protection during the closing year. Amid
the rich and fee EN- oyment Of all our advantages,
we should not forget the sources from which they
are derived, and the extent of our obligations TO
the Father of all mercies We have full reason to
renew our thanks to almighty God for favors be-
slowed upon US during the past year. by his
continuing mercy, civil and treiigio liberty has
been maintained, peace has reigned within
borders, labor and enterprise produced their mer
tied rewards, and to his watchful providence we
are indebted to security from pestlencc and other
material calamity Apart from material blessings.
each individual among Us has occasion to thought
fully recall, and devoutly recognize the favors
and protection which he has enjoyed.
Now. therefore, |, Ulysses S. Grant, President
of the United States, do recommend that the
18th day OF November, the people OF the United
States, abstanng from all secular pursuits, and
from their accustomed avocations. do assemble in
their respective places of worship, and in such
form as may seem most appropriate in their own
hearts, offer TO Almighty God their acknowledge
ments and thanks for all his mercies, and their
humble prayers for continuance Of his divine
favor.
In witness whereof, have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the L nted States to be
affixed Done at the city of Washington, this
9th day of October, in the year Of our Lord
1875, and of the Independence of the United
States the Tooth.

for killing horse, the property Of John c. Horn
of West Waterville, by cruelty r-driving. The
county attorney stopped at eleven A. NJ. and Mr..
Choate opened for the defence. The route driven
over was from West Waterville, via North Nassal
boro', China and Windsor, to Jefferson, about
thirty miles. The time occupied varies according
to different witnesses from five to six and q half
hours. The defence set up is that the defts drove
moderately and carefully, but that the horse gave
out by reason of disease, and died from that cause
soon after reaching Jefferson. Brutality to do
nestle animals is q crime which the public no
doubt severely condemns, and will rejoice to see
any one guilty of it brought to punishment. But
the trial suggests other questions of interest to
the public. Why did not the prosecutor sue in a
civil! action for the loss Of his horsei Why is the
county put to the expense Of a two days trial III
court in a case where no malice or gross reckless
ness is pretended What does the owner of the
horse gain by this trial, even il conviction be
secured' 1t was past five o'clock when the argu-
ments of counsel were concluded, and the Judge
excused the jury from taking the case tonight.
