SHRINKAGE IN VALUEs.-Any one who
reads the Philadelphia and New York
papers must be astonished at the enor-
nous shrinkage in the value of real
estate recorded; if what is said in the
advertisements be true. The Ledger con-
tains whole columns of short advertise
ments proposing to sell houses for less
than the cost of building; in some cases
houses that cost $1,000 to build, without
the lot, are offered for $4,000 with nc
sale. And this too with the Centennia
demand in view. What will it be next
year?

A SENSATION EXPLODED.
7 he ST. Adams Boy Not Charlie
Ross.

ST. ALBANs, Jan. 3.-Tbe boy who claims 10
be Charlie Rossss still inscharge ofiSheriff Nor
re. He strongly maintains bis story that he
is the veritable lost boy. Friday evening the
sheriff took him to Governor Smiths resi-
dence aud while there 10 looking over the
Photograph album. be recognized a picture of
MI. Hall Stanton of Philadelphia, and that of
Mr.. Stantons son, claiming that the latter
went 10 Miss Grants school at the same time
that he did himself. Mr. Stanton is friend
of Gov, Smiths, member of the Philadelphia
school board and has been in the habit of visit
ing the public schools throughout the city, Gov.
Smith is also confident thai his son attended
Miss Grants school as the boy alleges. A
young man who formerly lived in Philadelphia
has questioned the boy and he has described
some buildings there SO that the questioner is
satisfied that the boy has been in Philadelphia
at least. A photograph and description of the
boy were sent to Mr.. Ross some days ago, and
this forenoon sheriff Morrell received the fol-
lowing telegram:
Philadelphia, Pa, Jan 8, 1S76-We have
just received the photograph of the st. Adams
boy, and is certainly not that of Charlie Ross.
G. X. Ross.
Mr.. Maggiff, chief telegraph operator here,
upon the receipt of this dispatch, then tele-
graphed TO Mr.. Ross that the photograph was
not good picture of the boy, and also told him
of the boys recognition of the picture of Mr..
Stanton and son.
In reply he received the following:
TELL him Mr.. Ross don't know Hall Stanton
nor does Charlie Ross know him, but says that
the sheriff can bring the boy down."
Sheriff Morrell took the boy to the telegraph
office fow minutes after the receipt of the
last despatch and a conversation took place be-
tween ST. Adams and Philadelphia. 1t re-
suited in Mr.. Ross declaring that the boy in
question was certainly not his son.
MILFORD, N. H., Jan. 3.-The boy at St. AL
bans is James Blanchard of Milford. Every
schoolmate he mentioned belongs here. The
authorities have not denied his identity, re-
ports to the contrary Notwithstanding.

MATTERS In MAINE.
FROM AUGUSTA.
Legislators and Politicians Gathering.
THE CONTEST FOR THE OFFICES.
The BridgtOn Representative Con-
trOverSy.
Especial to the Press.1

AUGUSTA, Dec. 3.-Quite a large number of
members arrived ON the trains today, and
things begin to look a little lively about the
hotels, particularly the Augusta House, which
seems more than ever like headquarters. A
large number of prominent political gentlemen
and members .of the former Legislature are
also present to see their friends. Among these
are Hon. w. w. Cross, Judge Goddard, Judge
Waterman, Col. Cousins, Hon. f. N. Dow,
Percival Bonney esq.,, of Cumberland county;
Ex-Senators Rounds, Holland, and Messrs.
Bailey, Martin, Cole and others of Androscog-
gin; Hon. John Hall of York; Gen. Chas.
Hamlin of Bangor; Hon. e. R. Spear of Rock
land; Col. J. w. Spaulding of Richmond
Nearly all the Republican members of the
York county delegation are here, and Messrs
Anderson and Cleaves of the Portland delega-
ton and Senator Haskell are also here.
Considerable interest is manifested in the
disposal o. the several offices. The general
impression or rather the general observation is
that Col. Frederick Robbie of Gorham has
clear track for the speakership and that Gen.
Thomas Hyde of Bath will get a decided ma
jority of the votes Of the Republican caucus for
president of the Senate. The general interest
concentrates in the Office of Secretary of State.
Both parties are in earn est. Mr.. Chadbourne
has large number of friends present to assist
him, largely ex-members of the Houses of
which he has been clerk. His friends claim
that he will get two-thirds of the Republican
caucus. The general sentiment is largely in
his favor. Neither of the candidates for At
torney General had arrived at IL o'clock. and
that question is not much discussed. All of
the candidates for Adjutant General are pres.
emit, viz: Gems. Murray Cilley, Boynton and
Col. Ilsley. All express themselves quite con.
fident of success and all are good natured. 1t
would be mere guess work to say who is ahead.
There is considerable interest for executive
councillors. In Kennebec the contest is be-
tween Messrs. G. A. Wing Of Winth1op and
Calvin Hopkins Of Mount Vernon. Hon. T. j.
Southland of Richmond and J. S. Kimball, esq,
of Bath, are candidates from Sagadahoc.
1t is said that the executive council are in
doubt about issuing certificate of election to
Mr.. Littefeld of Bridgton. S.

The Ohio Peni,eu,iary Commentators

COLUMBUS. Jan, 3.-The fact that Charlie
Ulrich, one of the most expert counterleiters in
America, is confined in the Ohio penitentiary
at once pointed him out as the leader of the
counterfeit greenback party, if such a thing
existed. Warden lines was interviewed on
the subject and says if any greenbacks have
been made in the prison he does not know it.
He says bogus nickels were made by two men,
John Fought sent from Auglazie county for
horse stealing. and Henry Parker, sent from
Lucus county for burglary. These men work
close together in the moulding shop. and there
made the coin in moulds, genuine coin being
used for pattern. The material used was al
10y of copper and zinc.
