Trouble for the Halstead

Last Monday morning the schooner
HalsteGd, loaded with Macarthur, Smith
& Co.'S lumber, while being towed out OF
the river ran hard aground on the east
side of the river nearly opposite where
the old slab dock used to be. The wreck
ing tug Gladiator was called into requisi-
tion, and after working the most of two
days, and breaking a six inch hawser,
was finally compelled to tighten the ves-
sci before she could be got off. The Hal
stead left for Chicago Wednesday morn
Ing. The trouble was caused by the ex-
ceeding low stage of water, which WAS
the result of the north winds which had
been blowing for several days. After the
schooner was OH the ground the water
went still lower, which caused much of
the trouble in getting her of.

This county at the election Tuesday
gave, as everybody conceded it would. a
Democratic majority. The only question
at issue between the two parties was how
much? The Free Press claimed persist
emily and constantly that it would be 300
ifnot more. The actual majority was
| 179. Still the Democratic rooster is out
in all his glory, and, in flaming head lines,
the faithful are informed that it was a
GLORIOUS triumph" On one candidate
the majority was reduced to Is, and
another considerably less than 100, and
one Republican elected. Still it was a
GLORIOUS triumph" just the same. About
two more such 'striumphs" would end
Democratic aspirations in this county.
With one exception-that of Beaugrand
every town in the county cast double
the Republican votes that the Democracy
claimed was possible;' wilhelm Grant, the
Democrats claimed that there was not
over four Republicans. There proved to
he I26. They rejoice, and are exceeding
glad because, with majority of l7s in
their favor, they succeeded i'm electing ev-
tery man on the ticket with one exception,
if one did get in by barely 15.majority.
Any one who could be happy over such
La result as this could rejoice at funeral.
The Pree Press wants to know what We
think of the sring" now. We can easily
tell it. The "ring" has been successful.
It has succeeded i'm fOisting upon the
people of this county by the free use of
the party lash. which they have welded
themselves, certain members of the ring
which are not by any means the choice
of the people. They have succeeded in
overriding the opinions of the best men
in their own party. and electing men

success todes no good to their own party,
even though it places the men for whose

If a party expects to win the respect of
the entire people, they must nominate
only the best men to Office, men whom,

all; whether political ffierds or oppo-

The result, on the county ticket is
shown by the following tabular state

Accident to the Maine.

Last Tuesday, during the time the
schooner Halstead was aground, the N. T.
propeller Maine came in, and kindly as
sisted in pulling the Halstead of. In do
ing so she was unfortunate enough to re-
ceive considerable damage. by collision
with the schooner, the jib boom striking
her in the port side, just aft Of the mid
die gang-way, breaking three stanchions
and MASKING in the side. The propeller
remained here the balance of the day re
pairing the damages. She left early in
the evening, in as good condition as be-
fore the accident.

Macarthur, Smith &c Co. lost one OF
their best horses last Monday in rather
singular manner. AS is we'll known
they have horse and man at work on
their burning saw dust pile scraping back
and putting in place the saw dust as it
comes from the mill. The fire has un-
dermined the pile in many places, and
great care had to be exercised to keep
both horse and man from danger. On
Monday, however, by some means the
horse fell into one of these pits and was
burned to death. Il was very
fortunate that the man did not get
in also.

Wayside Thoughts,

Make the most of childhoods hours, try
to make them all pleasant and joyous, they
come but once. Peoples actions-whether
good or evil-sometlmes are like
certain kinds of ink; when first writ
ten with nothing is to be seen,
but under certain influences words are
plainly brought to view. As the buds and
blossoms foretell the fruit, so christian vir-
tues foretell the rich harvest of love and
peace in the dying hour. From the pulpit
should bright sunbeams of truth spread in
ever increasing circles until they touch eter-
nity's shore. Cromwell followed little
events before he veutured to govern great
ones" So we must conquer little faults first
then It's easier to attack greater ones. "OnG
act does not make habit" no more than

Winter in California.

letter received by her few days ago from
NJ. F. Blake, formerly of st. JohDsbury, now
residing in Stockton, Cal:
We cannot realize that we have had any
winter at all. We have had roses and other
flowers, out of doors, all OF the time since we
have been here, and not frost enough to hurt
them. 1t does seem odd to think there is
no danger Of plants freezing here at any
time. The fruit trees such as pears, peaches
plums, cherries, apricots, almonds, are in
fall bloom, and some have been for more than
a month. Apples are not quite in bloom
yet, but will be soon. The grass is fit to
cut in many places. | saw one man moving
yesterday aud others were moving grass four
weeks ago. New figs are as large as robins
eggs now; We get three crops year; some
single trees producing three tons year, and
they are as sweet and good when dried, with
out any sugar, as the figs you buy there and

you ever heard them in June or July.

Woman's Influence.

Much has been written about womans
mission, and true sphere Of influence.
Without arguing tho question of "woman's
rights" in political light, or expressing any
opinion 10 regard to her taking an active
part in public affairs, there can be no quss >
ton that her greatest aud most favora-
bic field of influence is the home circle.
The mothers influence is all powerful in
moulding the characters of her children, in-
shilling 10 their minds fshe be good mother,
correct principles aud morals, fostering and
encouraging all that is noble and good, aud
giving a check and curb to all evil propensi +
ties, and leading them up by precept and
example to a noble manhood or womanhood.
Great men generally have noble mothers.
The mother of Washington was a woman Of
very superior qualities The "lather of his
country" ever evineod the most filial regard
for her. Indeed, but for this sentiment, the
nation would never have been favored with
