Especial Despatch to the Press.l
BANGOR March 1O-Bangor proposes to send
a fitting response 10 Portland's noble example,

held at City Hall to night, by the Republicans,
at which VIM B. Hayford, Esq was unanl'
mously nominated, on vote approaching 800.
The result was received with deafenng cheers,

seemed as though he would be carried away
with the exultant greeting from all parts of the
hall. His election by large majority is just
as certain as though it had already been per-
formed. Bangor Republicans are wide awake

NEW YORK, March 10-The schooner Charles

ness and mist on the crest of a wave. The
stranger pitched head foremost into the trough
of the sea, and struck the Kelley just behind
the bowsprit, crushing the port cathead, and
knocking hole in the bulwarks. After the
first shock the stranger swung up to the side
of the Kelley and the sea brought them to-
gether with such force that three holes were
made in the Keleys side, and the stout taffrail
above her house was torn away. The schoon-
ers beat against each other for about five min
utes. The parting of the vessels was as sud-
den as the collision AS the stranger disap-
peared in the mist Capt Gray heard shout
from her deck and recognized the voice of Capt
Clay of Bucksport, one of his neighbors. He
then ascertained that the strange vessel was

and bowsprit, and had her mainsail split Capt.
Gray feared that she might sink, but the sea
was too rough to lower boat, and in few
minutes the vessels were out of each others

GEN. SHERMAN's VIEws.-General Sherman
in recent interview with reporter, expressed
himself as much shocked at the Belknap ex-
posures. He bad known Belknap long time,
and never doubted his integrity. In Sherman's
opinion Belknap's downfall was due to the
vicious organization of Washington society.
Secretaries Fish and Chandler, be said, are the
only members of the Cabinet who can afford
enormous expenses. General Sherman knew
that it had cost Mr., Fish 500 per annum to
live. The general left WASH ngton because
his salary would not support him there, and
because he did not consider it proper place
socially to raise a family. He receives $13, 500
salary and $4,000 rent, and yet he overran this
amount every year, because he was forced to
keep open house all the time. Secretary Belk-
nap had $4,000 per annum, with an expensive
wife. He had regarded Mrs. Belknap as an
estmable woman, and intelligent and pretty /;
but she could not keep up her expenditures on
her husbands income. Secretary Belknap, the
Gen. says will never seek to shield himself be-
hind his wife. The present system of manag-
ing posts he considers defective. The old plan
requiring the recommendation of the post Off
Gers was much better. Under Gen. Rawlins
the matter was left t 20 much to the general of
the army Secretary Belknap took cha rye of
1t himself, and there has been much complaint
as some OF his appointments were very obnox-
ious to army men. La conclusion, the Gen. ia
yors return to the old system, and he added
''Inasmuch as the army has to fight Indians, 1
think they should have something to say abont
their management. The policy of attaching
the Indian bureau to the Interior Department
is all wrong. My personal relations to Belknap
were always friendly. 1t is true he endeavored
to suub me on one or two occasions. 1 mean
attempted to ignore me, when 1 was entitled to
recognition. | kont think the corruption is
confined to the Fort Sill post. There are more
than 100 trading posts on the frontiers, and 1
expect there is good deal OF fraud yet to be
developed.

Affecting Scene in Deaf Mute School.


In connection with the memorial to the
school committee presented by Mr. j. B. Hud-
son in relatian to the education of deaf mutes
"a memorial which has awakened great sympa-
thy in the community the following descrip-
ton of scene in deaf mute school, taken
rom the Norwich (Ct.) BulletiD will be of in
terest:
A beautiful incident is related TO US, which
occurred only few days ago, in the Home
School to teach mutes articulation and lip-read-
graduate of one of the Oldest institutions for
the education of deaf mutes having desire to
learn to speak and to read the lips of her speak
ing friends was recommended by her old prin-
tered it last term. She made rapid progress and
was much aided by the natural alphabet, the
invention of her teacher. This alphabet curl
ously suggests sound, or the right position
OF the organs to utter sound, as well as
form; and, whenever mute pupil can read
and write it, he or she can generally give any
of the forty sounds of our difficult language
with great precision and discrimination, and
often with remarkable correctness. This
young lady, filled with enthusiasm, at
with little difficulty, and one day came
to her teacher with something written on
her slate, which she asked him to correct, her
mind being agitated with emotion. 1t proved
to be- the Lords Prayer, put into the language
of articulation. Percelving her agitation, the
teacher could scarce restrain his own tears as
he corrected few unimportant errors of pro-
nunciation. and delcately returned it The
next morning the lady came exultingly to her
teacher exclaiming: 81 prayed that last night
for the first time in my life with my voice."
and neither of them could restrain their emo
tions. He ventured to ask her if she had ever
prayed before. "Oh, yes, L have thought my
prayers, but never spoke them before" ''My
lips shall praise Thee. o God" "Attend to
the voice of my supplications, Q Lord" The
earIestness and satisfaction of the devout
mute who had now realized one of the bright
dreams of her life admitted of no question,
aud called for no reproof, if she was something
of literalist in her Interpretation.

LITcHFIELD, N. H., Jan. Is, 1876.
GENTLEMEN:
1 have had Putrid Catarrh for over twenty years
it commenced with bad cold, which being neglect
ed, soon settled into Catarrh. Since that time
have suffered more than tongue tell, for at times
my head seemed to be on fire, and it was impossible
to lie down on account of the constant dropping in
my throat. The last four or five years have been
in agony, as in addition to Catarrh. my sight and
hearing both became impaired to such an extent that
soon grew weary of life. One day was induced to
try one box of Rader's German Snuff, but having
used almost every remedy, 1 done so without any
faith in its power to cure.
had not taken it three days before noticed a
change for the better; at the end of week was
able to sleep with comfort, as the choking in my
throat no longer troubled me, and before had used
the last of the Snuff my sight and hearing began to
return.
As write you this letter con truly say that your
German Snuff has saved my life. and had 1 known
of its virtue in the past might by its use have saved
myself years of suffering and perfect torture.
Yours truly, MARY j. PORTER.
