This fable of the cunning cutpurse
is from the New York World: A thief
was once frustrated in his knavish
tricks 10y a Jealous Waterman. when
Mercury inspired him with wit to cry
aloud chat the officer was an Exon
federate Brigadier. The sympathizing
rustics thereupon gathered around
him and released him and conveyed
him in triumph on his journey, nor
would they leave him till he Lad
picked all their pockets.

It is a curious instance of the way
in which injustice is done by the wide
acceptance of first hasty impression,
remarks the New York Tribune, that
throughout the country the supposed
relationship of Mr.. Pendleton to the
Bowler heirs, as guardian, has been
cited as the chief reason for finding
fault with his action. In point of fact,
it now appears that Mr.. Pendleton is
not, and never was, the guardian OF
the Bowler heirs. Journals which
have made the mistake ought in JUS
tice to him to make a prompt and
complete correction.

la OtheE tates
The undersigned representing the
ization OF British settlers, formed for
the purpose of arranging for Il grand
celeb -ation of Queen VIctoria's birth

hereby extend a cordial Ill yitation to
the British settlers Throughout; the
State, and to British res dents in other
States, to partic pate In the celebration.
The centennial year affords asplendld
opportunity for international cOurte-
sizes, and the British celebration III
Petersburg will historically aud app
propriately mark the glorious brother
hood, which IN the nineteenth century
has been established among the Eng
lish speaking natIous.
Virginia welcomes British settlers
with open arms, and sees III the work
of colonization since the war, a great
and enduring means of recuperatlou.
Virginians love tne old country as the
dear old home Of their ancestors-the
birthplace of civil liberty-the mother
of free natiCus-and deeply revere
those noble virtues and wOmanly
graces which have made the reign OF
Queen Victoria SO conspicuous. The
celebration TO which we invite you will
undoubtedly be characterised by the
heartiness and enthusiasm which
spring from warm sympathles.
The BRITISH celebrations heretofore
held in Virginia have been Invariably
successful, and we feel warranted in
stating on behalf of cur native and
adopted citizens, that the celebration
of 1876. will lack nothing that is nee
essary to it's full and complete success.
We therefore ask you one and all to
join us III honoring the birthday Of
her majesty, Queen Victoria, and in
adding one more link to the golden
chain of affection which binds to-
gether the citizens of the United
States and the Brit sh people.

PARIS HILL, Aug. g. 1876.
About twenty five persons, under the leader
ship OF Scion Chase, the Chronicle" maker,
met at the Court House on Wednesday, and
there, pursuant to call to the Independent
voters OF Oxford county, to meet for mutual con-
sultation upon the great topics of the day"
organized by the choice of Gilbert Barrett of
Buckfeld, as chairman.
Now Scion Chase had arranged al things to
suit his peculiar notions and everything seemed
lovely and moved along like all political conven-
tons, until Mr.. Chase made motion for the
appointment of committee on resolutions.
Then arose one Hayford of Canton, who
thought that Oxford county could manage
its own affairs and had no need to go to Lew
iston, Auburn or Turner to find men who
could draw up resolutions for their guidance.
1t was the first drop of cold water that they
had felt, and Immediately all ran for shelter,
and it was not until after dinner that conf
dence returned to the members of the conven-
ton. However, after Mr.. Chase had consulted
his friends, his motion was withdrawn, and a
motion was made and carried to have seven
Oxford county men to draft resolutions. I'm
til the adjournment for dinner, Mr.. G. S. Con-
ant of Auburn, endeavored to excite enthus.
asm in the audience by we'll meant argument
for soft money; but after dinner, the second
Daniel Pratt, peddler of book on soft money,
told the audience all he knew, and at the end
of every period would add, ''all this you will
find in my little bookr' But he talked and
talked, and would be perhaps now talking, but
the committee came with their resolutions,
which were read and adopted. Then because
it was such good hay day, and those who
wanted to come were therefore obliged to
stay at ihome after recommending mass
convention at Auburn to nominate a Represen-
tative to Congress, they adjourned to meet at
the Court House, at Paris, on Friday, August
II, to nominate their county officers.

TEMPERANCE CAMP.MEETING
Large Attendance-Reform Club Meetins
Address of DR.. Joweit, Etc.

SEBAGo LAKE, Aug. 3, 1876.
No more lovely morning scould usher in a
State meeting for go holy cause, than the one
which smiled upon us to day. About one thou
sand persons gathered at the morning meeting,
conducted by J. X. Osgood. Rev. J. M. Taintor
opened with prayer. 1t was what the Reform
men call a praise meeting The testimony of
j. K. Osgood, President Pearson of the Port
land Reform Club, Chapman of the Buxton
club, Shaw of Ssbago Lake club, Merry, Vice
President of the Portland Reform club, Wallace
of Saccarappa, and R. G, Green of Hiram, was
full of interest and encouragement. Several
took the pledge, who determined to lead bet
ter life. Hon. Sidney Perham also spoke in
testimony of the good work being done in East
ern Oxford. The meeting is sfull of good
promise.
The Bridgton boat brought over two hundred
who will for the most part camp on the ground.
Tomorrow both boats will be crowded. Mr..
Shorey .of the Bridgton News will be here
Saturday with his Cold Water Temple, num-
bering nearly one hundred. The largest chill
dren's meeting ever convened in Maine will be
present
In the afternoon spiritual experience meet
ing, at one clock, was participated in by a very
large number of reform men and others. At
$50 o'clock Ex-Gov. Perham was called to the
chair, who, after making happy speech, in
troduced as first speaker, DR.. Jewett of Connec-
ticut.
Let me here say that the. singing is very ex-
cellent indeed. At this meeting Miss Sawyer
of Gorham, presided at the Forgan. and at the
morning service Miss Mitchell. When DR..
Jewett appeared on the platform he was very
enthusiastically applauded. No person can we'll
describe the power of his address-so full of
his apt Illustration. The large audience would
be first melted in tears then ccnvulsed in laugh
ter.
j. X. Osgood followed DR.. Jewett in a most
powerful and touching address. He was lis
tened to with intense interest from the begin
ming to the close of his address.
The interest and enthusiasm is rapidly in
creasing as the meeting is augmented in num-
bers.
Over12000 people were present to-day. The
evening meeting was large and enthusiastic
Saturday the childrens meeting will be adj
dressed by DR.. Jewett, DR.. Reynolds of Ban
gor, who has been laboring in Massachusetts
with such remarkable success, and Mrs. DR..
French, who founded the Inebriate Asylum at
Philadelphia at her own expense.
The meeting is grand success in spirit and
attendance.
