LAST YEARS VoTE.-The following is the
vote for Governor in this city last year:


MR.. EDITOR The item in your paper of
Saturday, under the head of "The way to en-
courage ruffianism," unjustly reflects upon
Judge knight. The differences of your reporter
were undoubtedly drawn from partial knowl-
edge OF the facts. This will be apparent from
the statement of the circumstances under
which the penalty was imposed upon the Of
tenders. The respondent had entered plea of
guilty. His father is a worthy aud respectable
citizen, and was the especial object of the con-
sheraton of the prosecutors. The members of
the procession assaulted, who were in attend
ance as witnesses, kindly raised the fees. As
attorney for the state publicly stated to the
court that the prosecution was simply in the
the interest of good order, and for the preser-
walton OF the peace No penalty against the
innocent father was sought but such re-
minder from the court to the offending youth
as should serve to prevent repetition of the
offence, and wanton acts of similar character,
liable to lead to serious consequences. Judge
Knight took the same view in remarks adj
dressed to those present Whatever subsequent
remission of the penalty was permitted, was
with the advice and approval of those who
made the complaint, as; tending to promote
good will in the community.
Very respectfully.
HENRY G. PEABODY.

CoRoNER's VERDlcr.-The coroners jury in
the case of the man found near the Portland
street railroad bridge brought in their verdict
Saturday noon. From the evidence 1t appears
that the mans name was w. B. Stone. Some
time ago he killed negro in drunken broil
at Calais, and was sentenced to State Prison
for seventeen years. He was pardoned out
lately, and went to Hallowell about three weeks
ago. where he changed his name to Kelly,
stating to parties that he had reformed and
taken the ron-clad pledge He came up on
the excursion to see the torchlight procession
Thursday night, evidently became intoxicated.
and when on the train, going back, appeared
very much SO. He probably fell from the train
while in that condition, and met his death.
The jury returned the following verdict;
That the said VIM. Kelley, otherwise called
VIM. b. Stone, came to his death on the morn
ing of the 8th day of September, A. D., 1876,
by falling from an excursion train of the Maine
Central railroad company, near the crossing OF
Portland street, in the city of Portland, while
said train was in motion. on its return from
Portland to Halowell, and that no blame is at.
tached to said railroad company.

ORGANIZE IN EVERY SCHOOL
DISTRICT, to get out every
REPUBLICAN VOTE.
Two RefOrmers.


Mr.. EDIToR:-I am a Democrat, but 1 can
no longer belong to a party which recognizes
as leader Eben F. Pillsbury, man who
spoke of our loved President Lincoln as one
who "stinks and shines and shines and stinks
like rotten mackerel by moonlight" 1t is a
fact that Pillsbury was sympathizer of rebels.
Nor can follow Marcellus Emery, who was
also rebel sympathzer during the war and
whose types on this account were thrown into
the streets of Bangor. Now these men are
recognized as the leaders of the Democratic
party of Marie. Pillsbury is chairman of the
Democratic State Committee. Both of these
men talk loudly for reform. "They had better
reform themselves They are the same old
rebels at heart No wonder the Democratic
party has often been beaten. No honest Liber-
al Republican will even join party that rec
ognizes Pillsbury as leader. Nor can any
honest progressive Democrat long remain an
active member of such an organization. When
the Democratic party will throw overheard
Pillsbury and Emery and take good Union men
for leaders, then many other Democrats with
myself may become active members and voters
of that party and Liberal Republicans may
Join it, But not now. Never!

Scarborough Democracy.

Oak Hill has had a sensational jubilation-
| after a fashion. Flaming posters had pro-
claimed that there would be Reform Demo-
cratic Flag-raising' on Thursday evening.
cable speakers were promised to address the
crowd, and the american Band'' to enterta
them. We were on the tiptoe of expectation.
We were wei! aware of the vast need of reform
in the Democratic party, and we were curious
| to learn how the great work was to be accom-
plished. So at the hour specified we went to
the cross roads where the flag was to be raised,
but found only a few boys clustered around the
music stand. After awhile the band struck up.
The first note was suffi Gent to convince us it
was not the American band. After "execut-
ing several pieces quite respectable number
had gathered, the majority women and chill
dren.
At eight o'clock the meeting was called to
order-the few present gathering in front of
the speakers stand surrounded by Gordon of
wagons-and Mr.. Seward Gunnison proposed
as chairman, and declared elected, although
same one doubted the vote. Mr.. G. stepped
forward and spoke his little piece in an audible
voice. 1t was simply rehash of the abuse of
the Republican party that from day to day
appears in the argus, delivered very grandilo-
quently. Not the slightest demonstration was
made at the commencement or close of his adj
dress. The only sound that broke the solemn
silence, save the speakers voice, was when he
was lauding the patriotism and honesty of Sam
uel J. Tilden. just then there arose loud
prolonged ''whinny" that drowned the speak
er's voice-a regular "horse laughp' 1t came
so pat we were forced to join in 1t.
After this Mr.. Gould, from Boston, if
understand Alright, was introduced, the chair.
man calling for ''three old-fashioned Demo-
cratic Scarborough cheers" We concluded
the Democrats of Scarborough were afflicted
with weak lungs, judging from the feebleness
of their response. Just as the gentleman was
opening his mouth it seemed for the first time
to occur to the chairman that "fag-raising"
was the real object of the meeting, and sig
nal was giveE to hoist the bunting. No spon-
taneous cheers greeted it, and the bugle-man

The speaker introduced spoke in so low a
voice and there was such chattering among

the burden of his remarks was the same hack

long accustomed to hear on occasions like this.

awakened by his very tedious TRADE. The

Peruvian Syrup VS.. Alcoholic TOnics,
It has been desideratum with the medical
profession to procure a preparation of iron
less Objectionable than any of those now in use
which often produce unfavorable effects Upon
the system, especially when prepared with
alcoholic fluids.
In many cases of debility and convalescence
from disease, where tonic is indicated, wine,
brandy, porter, &C., have been recommended; ;
but these are of very doubtful efficacy, to say
the least Alcohol is never dIgested, is ranked
among the diffusible stimuli, and is incapable
of affOrding Hutrition. 1t creates generally an
unnatural excite ment and arrangement of the
circulation, irritating the whole system by pre-
venting the blood from losing its carbon.
Again, how difficult it is to obtain an article
approaching to purity, almost all the wines,
brandies, porters, &c, being more or less adul-
terated.
Such being the case with regard to the spirit
uous preparations of iron, and the alcoholic
drinks, of which any one can satisfy himself
by investigating the subject, an opportunity is
now presented in the PERUVIAN SYRUP, for the
trial of an article in general practice, which has
the strongest recommendations from medical
and scientific men of the highest Character
preparation which so happily combines the
protoxide of iron with the other constituent
parts that the effects incident to the use of iron
salts are entirely obviated.
For all cases in which iron or any tonic is
needed this preparation is confidently believed
to be far superior to any other. 1t seems to
purify the very fountain of health.
