A New Town HALL. James Emery,
Esq, one of the wide awake and enterpris-
ing citizens Of Bucksport, has purchased
the old ''Parker block" and the lot north
of it with the George Herbert building"
and began yesterday the initiatory work of
preparing new town hall suitable to the
wants of that live village. In the rear
part OF the building arrangements will be
made for the accommodation of the Fire
Department.. The hall will be spacious
and will have well arranged ante-rooms
and other accompaniment such as will
make it an ornament to the place and
capable OF containing as large an audience
as will be likely at any time to enter it.
There is no prettier village on the Penob-
scot than Bucksport, and its enterprising
people are awake to the value of all i'm
provements which will tend to make it
more attractive. Bangor Wing.

The Boylston Bank robbery in Boston.
is again called to mind by q recent occur
renee in Hartford. On the night after the
robbery Conductor Mckinney, of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad.
received Il $1,000 bill from passenger on
night train between New Haven and
Hartford The conductor went for mo-
ment out Of the car with that and other
bills, to obtain change and on coming
back, after having ascertained that this
one was not. as he had supposed, q 800
bill, but really q genuine $1,000 bill, he
went to the passenger who had given it to
him, with the question, 'Did you give me
$1,000 bili?" The passnnger-a man in
a rough, heavy overcoat-was evidently
alarmed at the conductors question. and
probably given him the bill hastily under
the impression that it was only SO bill.
He promptly denied that he had given the
conductor that bill. Unable to do any
thing else with it, the conductor was com
PEELED to retain the bill, which he placed
on deposit. There the money has remain
Ell until the present time, the conductor
knowing not what other disposition to
make of it. From the day when the mys-
FERROUS transaction took place until two
weeks ago nothing had been heard in re-
lation to the money, But now, the con-
ductor had received q letter from an APP
parently illiterate woman in Pennsylvania
the writer Of which claims that the man
who gave the money to the conductor was
cher brother" She says that he was son
his way West, to buv land;" that he be-
came intoxicated while on the way, and,
when he reached home, declared that he
had been ''robbed." Her brother, she con-
tinues is now dead; and, while she saws
that she cannot prove her identity, her re-
quest Of the conductor is that "as much of
the money as he thinks proper" be return
ed to her. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that this is regarded as fraudulent claim
and that the money will continue to draw
interest for some time longer.

al whose term OF service exceeds that OF

are forty-three standing committees of the

two Houses, so that in the control of the
House the Democrats may have an eNper

Burning of a Maine Ship.

BY the arrival at Boston Of the ship VIC
toria, the particulars of the burning Of the
fine ship John Pascal, are received The
Ship hailed from Bangor, but was built we
think, at Rockport, By Carlton, Norwood
u Co, last year. Capt. TApIey, Of the
John Pascal, makes the following report

when about midnight we We're alarmed by
smoke coming from the half deck hatch.
We commenced at once to break out car

rubber Soon after we found smoke issu-
ing from the fore hatch Got the force
pump started, lifted the fore hatch and
soon eXtinguished the fire. 1t was confin-
ed to some bags of linseed under the hatch
We then broke our cargo down to the
lower deck, and threw overheard all that

We examined the cargo in different
parts OF the ship from time to time, and
could find no signs of heat Soon after
came into cold and rough weather. Were

strong northwest gales. After passing the
cape we soon got into fine weather We
now had little or no fear of fire. as the
cargo in all parts OF the ship was cold and
dry.

were again alarmed by smoke coming
from the fore hatch. 1t could not be reach

thoroughly ventilated that the flames
spread rapidly. We then as soon possible

Also got stream on from engine and led
the hose from the escape pipe through the
deck, hoping to stit1e the fire bat without
success.
We now altered our course for st. He
lena, two miles distant 1t now became
evident that it was impossible to save the
ship. We then made preparation to leave
in the boats when we could not stay BY
the ship any longer. AT s Il. m. we saw a
ship. At l. m. we attracted his attention
when he steered for us. 1t proved to be
the ship Victoria, Capt Atwood, from Cal

to our assistance AT this time the fire had
driven Us from forward and we had bare
ly time to leave before the fire was burst

the time we were safely on board the Vie

Among the Washington dispatches to
the morning papers of Tuesday was the
following paragraph
WASHINGTON. Nov. %. The President to-
day appointed VIM. G. Marshall, Collector of
Customs for the district Of Belfast, Maine.
Brief, but as sharp as the axe of fate to
Barnabas. The plumber has slipped from
his grasp. No more retailing Goldfish at
Stockton, and taking a fat salary as col
lector for duties that he did not know any
thing about, much less perform. No more
squeezing of subordinates for portion of
their salaries. No mere tolerance of
transparent humbug and fraud at the head
OF the local customs service. In short,
no more OF Barnabas.
The change in the Custom House grows
jout of last springs investigation into its
affairs. AS soon as Secretary Bristow
found time to look into the report, he de-
cided that such a scandal was too bold ana
bald to exist longer, and that there must
be reform. Through the intercession of
Hale, Bamabas was allowed to let him
self down easy, by q resignation. But he
had to take his choice between that and
removal. 1t was suicide or execution.
All that remains is for the decapitated
and disgraced official to get him back into
the grocery store from which he ought
never to have emerged, and let public
business be better done by better men

respondent breaches the startling theory
that the naval preparations now being
made by this government havc reference
to the possibility of war with England,
growing out OF the unsettled fishery dis
putes. That theory has little probability
in it. Grant may want q war to make his
third term military necessity, but Con-

and the democratic House is likely to be

Death of the Vice-President.

The deceasc OF Vice President Wilson
removes from life an official who was not
among the most gifted of the public men
of the country But he was the incum-
bent Of . high and honorable office. and
the event should receive such recognition
as belongs to that station Mr.. Wilson
deserves credit for the industry and appli-
cation by which he became self educated,
and brought himself ''out of the prison of
his low estate to the achievement of
honors and position But he lacked the
elements Of the great man, and was not
of that steadfastness of soul which could
be relied upon in great emergencies, nor
was he possessed OF that breadth OF view
which belongs to the statesman whose
vision is not bounded by u section Of his

tirely satisfied with such move. Belfast
