Four nays ia a Hear T,an.

Newell Alexander a Micmac Indian, aged
about sixty-nine, who was on his way from
Quebec 10 Houlton aud Woodstock, and
who passed through Winn last week, was
caught in bear trap last Friday night,
which was set by Alexander McMain OF
Mattawamkeag i'll the woods about forty
rods from the sunken bridge two and a half
miles from Mattawamkeag, on the old mill
tary road. He had lain there until o'clock
Monday afternoon, when Edward Hamel
and John Savard found him, having been
attracted to him by his horse and faint
cries for help. He had heard the carriages
passing up and down the road, and had
cried for help, but the sound of the wheels
probably drowned his voice. Some persons
heard but were afraid. He had plenty to
eat with him, but could not eat as he was
nearly choked for want OF water. He had
in his possession a dipper with which he
dug down three feet into the earth, and was
dipping up the mud and sucking the water
from it. He had an axe with which he
made wedge, driving it behind his leg,
thereby easing the pressure somewhat. He
was caught just above the ankle OF the
right foot; but fortunately no teeth entered
his leg. He is now at $. 3 GAtes's with his
wound properly dressed by physician, and
it is expected he will recover. .-BaNqor

ELECTING MEMBERS OF THE LEGIsLA
TURE-IMPORTANT CHANGE.

ELECTING MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLA-
TURE-IMP0RTANT CHANGE.
II the proposed new rules are adopted by
the Democrats Of this county, as they prob
ably will be, an important change will be
made, and we call the attention to the
County Committee to the fact-if it has re.
covered from the recol of its recent severe
exertions. The Democrats provide that
hereafter, the City of Wilmington shall at
all times have both Senator and Repre-
sentative in the Legislature. The old rule
Of both parties was that she had one mem-
Der only, either Senator or a Representa-
tive, according to her turn as one of the ten
Hundreds, and the proposed arrangement
will be something entirely new. The Dem
ocrats provide for making the couuty into
three districts, as follows
1st District, Wilmington.
End District, Brandywine, Christiana, Mil
Greek, White Clay Greek, Pencader.
81 District, New Castle, Red Lion st.
Georges, Appoquininlink, Blackbird.
The First District is to have one Senator
and one Representative, the Second and
sentatives The effect will be that in the
Second and Third, as there will be but four
members to be given to five Hundreds, one
Hundred must stand out by turns, without
a member.
The Democrats will take their vote on
these rules on the 5.h OF August. Should
they adopt them as we have no doubt they
will, the Republicans will need to consider
carefully how they will be affected. I'm
doubtedly, the concession which the Demo-
Gratis make to this city is just, it Leiug the
grant Of a small part OF what the people Of
Wilmington are entitled to, and it will be
correspondingly popular here. The Re-
pubhcans cannot afford to be less fair, or to
make less reasonable concession. The
County Committee is the proper authority,
NJ doub., to consider the subject.

MO PROGRESS BY COUNCIL.

The City Council made no progress, last
evening, toward any arrangement to con-
tinue work on the basin. Indeed the
opinion Of the Solicitor, on which the re-
port of the Law Committee was based,
seemed to be regarded as conclusive that
nothing whatever could be done. 1t has
been well understood from the first that it
was difficult, and probably impossible, for
Council to take any legal steps to raise the
needed funds, and it has been, therefore, a
simple question whether a guaranty Of the
action could not be secured from members
individually and from other citizens. The
sum needed cannot be very great 1t
was at first said that $3.50 would COM
p!ete the reservoir, and then $50, was
named by the Water Committee, while it
is also true that $10O 900 has been spoken
OF as really needed But simple calcula-
ton will show that for the mere hire of a
hundred men, during the remnant of the
working season, a very much smaller
amount than any OF these will suffice.
Tnus, from the first Of August to the first
of November, (about which date cold wealth
er would suspend work, even if the job
were not inished) would be, say twelve
weeks of good weather. One hundred
men, employed at an aver
age OF SLIGO per day, twelve
weeks, would make a wages bill Of
$l0,S00, only. 1t ia true that, ia order for
them to work at all they must have the ma
terial required for the completion Of the
basin-cement, bricks, clay, etc.-which
would cost an additional sum, which we do
not pretend to estimate but altogether the
amount to be guaranteed is really a com
parative tride. Get thirty citizens, fifteen
Republicans and fifteen Democrats, to en-
dorse it, and go ahead. The banks will
willingly advance the funds, aud in lesc
taan six months the auth oIity of the Leg
islature can be had, the bonds can be is
sled, and the loan repaid.

Mark Twain On st. Patrick.
THE SORT OF REFoRMER THAT is NEED
ED IN THE UNITED STATES.

The following letter was read at the
supper of the Knights of st. Patrick in
Hartford Conn.,, on Friday night:
Richard McCzoud, Esq:
DEAR SIR am very sorry that l
cannot be with the Knights of St. Patrick
tomorrow evening. In the Centennial
year we ought all to find a peculiar
pleasure in doing honor to the memory
of man whose good name has endured
through fourteen centuries. We ought
to find pleasure in it for the reason that
at this time we naturally have fellow
feeling for such a man. He wrought 8
great work in his day. He found Ireland
a prosperous republic, and locked about
him to see if he might find some usefu!
thing to turn his hand to. He observed
that the President of that republic was
in the habit of sheltering his great Off
cials from deserved punishment, so he
lifted up his staff and smote him, and he
died. He found that the Secretary of
War had been so unbecomingly econom-
ical as to have laid up $4,000 year out
of salary of $4,000, and he killed him.
He found that the Secretary Of the Inte-
rior always prayed over every separate
and distinct barrel of salt beef that was
intended for the unconverted savage: and
then kept that beef himself, so he killed
him also. He found that the Secretary
of the Navy knew more about handling
suspicious claims than he did about hand
ling a ship, and he at once made an end
of him. he found that very foul pri-
vate secretary had been engineered
through a sham trial, so he destroyed
him. He discovered that the Congress
which pretended to prodigeous virtue
was very anxious to investigate an en-
bassador who had dishonored the country
abroad, but was equally anxious to pre-
vent the appointment of any spotless
man in similar post; that this Congress
had no God but party, no system of NOR
ais but party-policy, no vision but bats
vision and no reason or excuse for exist
ing anyhow. Therefore he massacred
that Congress to the last man.
When he had finished his great work
he said in his fgurative way, "Lo, l
have destroyed all the reptiles in Ire
land"
st. Patrick had no politics; his sym
pathies lay with the right-that was pol
itics enough. When he came across
reptile he forgot to inquire whether he
was Democrat or a Republican, but
simply exalted his staff and "let him
have it." Honored by his name.-I wish
we had him here to trim US up for the
Centennial. But that cannot be. His
staff, which was the symbol of real, not
sham reform, is idle. However, we still
have with us the symbol of truth
George Washington's little hatchet-for
know they've buried it.
Yours truly,
Hartford, March 16.

A Few FACTS IN RAISING CORN
Corn can be raised successfully through
out forty degrees each side of the equa-
tor, except on the SUBMITS of high
mountains and some parts of the torrid
zone. A few simple facts about its
production are worth remembering. The
land for corn should be ploughed deep,
and the earth pulverized. Start the
plant as soon as the ground will permit.
Use none but the best seed. In its re-
production the flower is separated into
parts; the tassel, the male part, at the
top of the stalk, and the silk, the female
flower, located intermediately on the
stalk, arranged thus in nature so that the
pollen from the tassel might fall upon the
silking flower and make it fruitful. On
isolated stalks of corn the silk receives
so little of the pollen from its own tassel
that but few grains come to perfection !;
hence the importance and necessity OF
having number of stalks near by or in
the same field, in order that perfect ears
and full crop may be made. Some far
mers still assert that there is nothing in
these facts. The roots Of corn grow
much faster than the stalk at first measu-
ring sometimes a foot long before the
stem is half that length. The brace roots
should not be broken in working, as they
support the stalk, and when broken it
makes heavy draught on the plant to
reproduce them. The distinct varieties
are the white flint, the yellow flint, the
gourd seed, sugar-corn and popcorn.
The first is regarded the best for bread,
while the yellow corn is regarded most
nutritive and answers best for stock

Our Duty to Help Each Other.

The following sensible article we take
from the Savannah Free Press:
In this day of the cry of hard times,
more in fancy than reality, perhaps it be-
comes each and every one to do his duty
In practical and not a theoretical way.
Money is made to spend; for we can
neither eat or clothe ourselves with it.
It is the representative Of labor; or like
manure, to do good, it must be scattered
in the right place and at the right time.
As we must live upon our labor, which
is money, then it behooves US to put our
money where it will do the most good,
and that place is among ourselves; who
live in the same place, bear the same
burdens, are of the same society, and de-
pendent upon each other for support.
The money that is spent in city goes
from hand to hand, but that sent out, Is q
dead loss.
To illustrate: Your grocery bill is
made at home, the grocery merchant gets
the money; he buys his clothing at
home the clothing merchant buys his
wants at home, and if each and every
one would buy at home their wants, the
money is kept in circulation at home.
All receive the benefit, and hard times
are not felt. But if we send off for our
groceries, clothing, dry goods, boots and
shoes, that we can buy or have made at
home, it is just so much money
sent away; and times grow hard. Keep
what we have got and get all we can and
spend it among ourselves, and there will
be no necessity to cry hard times.
The curse of the farmer is that he pays
out all of his cotton money for what he
should have raised. He spends nothing
at home, for he buys from abroad. His
corn, meat, mules, ETC., are sent him from
other States, and his cotton money goes
there to pay for them.
Booth took out of Savannah about
$4,000, the cry of hard times to the con
srary Notwithstanding. Had we kept
that amount among ourselves we would
have been just that much better off,
However We will pay for luxuries with
pleasure; yes, with rush and think
nothing of it, but find continual fault
with the price of necessities.
Help each other by buying from each
other; give home folks the preference
every time, and do not cultivate the idea
you can do better, or get better article
from home. Society is wheel, within
wheel, and all depend upon each
other.
Labor and trade is the foundation of
society; and we should aid each other as
a matter of interest, of policy and mutual
benefit.
