ecutive, did the First Maine Heavy Artillery
the honor of accepting place in its ranks.
The dress parade over, the hungry men who
had long been whetting their appetites for the
clam-bake marched to the tent and were soon
dissecting the contents of the huge smoking
heap. The 100 seats were filled and hundreds
fed from the steaming pile. Dinner over, or
ders were given to embark. In half an hour
the barge, tugs and three steamers were loaded
and the white tents and smouldering remains
of the great bake were all that remained to
show that 1000 veterans had occupied the is.
land twenty-four hours.
After most enjoyable sail up tae harbor, the
boats arrived at about O'Clock. A line was
quickly formed as an escort to the Massachu-
sets Association, which marched via Middle.
Congress and State streets to the Boston s.
Maine station. The escort then returned and
was dismissed in front of City Hall.
But two accidents occurred. Mr.. W. 81.
Lindsey of Cape Elizabeth Depot, was badly
but not seriously burned about the side of his
face and neck by the burning of some powder.
Mr.. Hanson, Co. FL 18th Maine, resident Of
Windham, was Frustrated by sunstroke while
the line was forming for dress parade. He was
acting as color bearer. DR.. Hersom attended
him.
Among the distinguished guests present were
Gen. j. H. Fl. Ward of New York, Admiral
Thatcher, U. S. N, Collector Washburn, Hon.
j. B. Brown, Gen, c. III. Thomas, U. s.. A.,
and Paymaster George A. Deering, U. S. N.
The 9th Maine Association made arrange
ments to secure the publication of the history
of that regiment. The work will be in charge
of the Executive Committee of which DR.. San
ger is chairman.
The best of order prevailed. No intoxicating
liquors were sold on the ground. Officer
Stevens ard Mr.. jerks seized quantity of
ardent as it was landing Wednesday night.
To say that the meeting was success would
not fifty represent the fact. 1t was an i'm
mense and most gratifying success, the meas
ure of which is almost entirely due to the Ex-
ecutive Committee, of which Gen. Geo. L.
Beal is chairman. May there be another re-
union in 1877.

SHANGHAID AND RoBBED.-Some three
weeks ago, Mr.. George w. Crocker of Belfast,
inventor and proprietor of the patent sanding
roller that is used in shoe factories, left this
city on the Boston steamer to introduce his
patent in Massachusetts. Nothing was heard
of him until Tuesday evening, when he pre-
sented himself to his friends in Belfast in a
most pitiable condition. He gives the follow
ing thrilling account of himself: Arriving in
Boston he went to a hotel where he made the
acquaintance of genial and social young man
who seemed to take great interest in his well
fare. Learning from Croker his intentions
and destination, he informed him that he was
also going to Natick and they would 90 in COM

STEPHEN ID. LINDSEY.
Sketch of MIR. BIaine's Successor
[From the Somerset Reporter.l

[From the Somerset Reporter.l
Mr., Lindsey was born in NorridgewOek in
1928, and is, therefore, forty-eght years of age
He was educated at the academies in his vicin-
ty,and directly thereafter entered the law Office
of John S. Abbott at Norridgewock, where he
fitted for his profession. He was admitted to
the bar in 1858, and from that day to this has
been constantly acquiring an enviable reputa-
ton as a lawyer. This reputation is the fruit
of untirng industry and strict adherence to
honor and integrity. In 1856 he was sent by
his district to represent them in the Legisla-
ture. The year following he was elected Clerk
of Courts and performed the duties of that
office for three years, and for portion of the
some time had charge of the Office and did the
work of the Register of Deeds. During the
early part of the war Mr.. Lindsey for time
acted as County Attorney, in the absence of
Mr.. Smell in the army. In 1866 he was elected
Register of Probate, and in 1856 he, was COM
plimented by reelection. He resigned, how
ever, before the completion of his second term,
and took a seat ia the Senate, to which he had
been elected in 1868. His services there were so
eminently acceptable that he was reelected for
three successive terms. In 1861 was chosen
by that body as President of the Senate. In
the sessions of both 1868 and 1870 he occupied
the very important position of chairman on
the Judiciary Committee. He was also on this
committee when member of the House.
twas while Mr.. Lindsey was in the House,
and on the Judiciary Committee in company
with j. G. Talbot, the present Democratic NOM
inee for Governor, that the celebrated impeach-
ment trial took place. 1t will be remembered
that Judge Davis was impeached on address
to the Governor, and that it was entirely a
party transaction. Mr.. Lindsey was the only
Republican lawyer on the committee that had
this in charge, hence nearly the whole protec-
ton that the Judge could get from it had to be
obtained through his efforts. Mr.. Lindsey la.
bored earnestly to obtain justice for his legal
friend, aud won much honor by the ability he
then evinced on the side of right, the side on
which he always seeks to be found. 1t is
worthy of notice that Mr.. Lindsey has served
| in the Legislature with the Republican nom
| inees Of each of the other Representative Dis.
tricts.
In 1874 Mr.. Lindsey was member of the
Governors Council, and declined reelection
on the following year. He was delegate to
| the Nationel Convention that nominated Pres
| ident Grant in 1868, and was also present as
| alternate at the convention which nominated
| Mr.. Lincoln in 1860.

The Southerd Soldiers Of 1912 and
their Pensions
From the Springfield Mass Repuossca..

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republicans.
There still survive, at the south, few
scattered veterans of the war of 1912, WHO
were disabled for life by wounds received.
or diseases contracted in the service of
their country, There also survive few
aged women who were widowed By that
war. Half century ago grateful coun-
try voted them pensions of s. mouth
800 year. During the civil war the pay
ment of these pensions was interrupted.
The other day proposition was brought
forward in the house to let the poor old
souls have their pittance, without catechiz-
ing them as to their views in lS60'-64 on
the right of secession. Mr.. Townsend, of
the Troy district, voted for it; he is that
sort of man. Quite enthusiastically,
two of the three Republican organs took
him to task for his vote, MIR. Townsend,
also quite Enthusiastically, talks back.
As the youngest of these pensioners was
64 years old at the beginning of the rebel
lion, and as all the men had been invalids
for 46 years prior to the event, Mr.. Town
send thinks their treason could not have
been of the overt sort" Besides, the prop.
osition had twice received the unanimous
consent of Republican congressman.
