iation with the leaders of the admins.

and association with the leaders of the admins
tration, he held the highest opinion of them.
Nobody could have felt more absolute faith in
the President than he did He was equally
loyal to Conklins. But after circumstances
had tended to keep them apart-when he had
thrown up the Presidency of the Civil Service
Commission-the rules of which by the by he
was one of the first to ignore, though l pre-
sumo unintentionally-whenh he had ceased to be
in their counsels he conceived the idea that
they were declining in moral stature. 1t is BY
no means an unusual thing for Captain, who
has retired from command to nurture the fancy
that matters were not thriving so we'll since he
gave up the management of them. However
with all due Difference to Mr. Curtis for whom
l entertain the highest respect, am quite I'M
able to lind any just cause of complaint, and
judging from the vague generalities which
make up the sum and substance of his arraign-
ment OF the administration, he has hard work
to frame bill of particulars. He has appar-
emily wrought himself into an excitement with
out any reasonable cause. He went to SYRIA
cuse the other day as the champion of free
speech. But there was nobody there who had
the remotest inclination to deny it to single
delegate. The magnanimity displayed by the
majority in the State Convention could not
have been surpassed. 1t quite disarmed the
premature resentment of the men who had pre-
pared for scene and struggle.
Leaving Off this long letter with the
theme it opened with, merely suggest what it
is strange has not long ago occurred to every
body, to wit that the Republican nomination
will in the natural course of events fall upon
supporter of the administration. Therefore,
that is a good way OF promoting the chances of
candidate to represent him-to borrow the
slang of the day-as "thiuk and thin adher-
emit of Grantism." Outgoing Presidents gen.
orally have not been much of power in poll
tics, but the present Incumbent is an exception,
and it may be taken for granted be will be at
some pains to prevent his mantle from de-
scending upon the shoulders of any successor
of his own party, who will reflect even by i'm,
plication on his protracted civic career. If the
Democracy win, it is of little consequence, what
they say or do or who carries their standard.
But if anybody expects more prudent eco
nomical, peaceful and honest administration of
tie government than we have had since March
4, 1869 he is doomed to grievous and hopeless
disappointment. Similarly, if anybody is look
ing to see the Cincinnati Convention nominate
a candidate of the Tyler, Fillemore or Andy
johnson species, he makes small calculation of
the will and the power that abides in the or
ganization which has triumphantly carried
four Presidential elections in succession.

About O Missing Boy.

OTIsFIELD March o. 1876.
On the afternoon of Friday, March 17th DUR
ing one of the severest snow storms of the win.
ter, Lyman Spiler, a lad of IA years of age, who
was living with his uncle in this town, LETT the
house unknown to any of the family. Toward
night he was missed, and search was at once
made for him among the neighbors and contin-
ued in the adjacent woods and pastures until
late hour, but without success. On Saturday
the search was again continued, the storm still
raging furiously. but with all their efforts no
signs of the lost boy could be discovered, and
the now apparently hopeless task was again
abandoned. Strangely enough, during all this
time no one had thought to make enquiry to
ascertain whether he had been seen outside of
the immediate vicinity. Monday some fifty or
more people assembled at the mill pond of j.
w. Holden, near by, and proceeded to make
thorough search, maoy thinking the lad bad
broken through the ice and was drowned.
Armed with crowbars, spikes, shovels, axes.
&C., and all sorts OF hooks and srapples. and
last but not least long team of oxen, thew
proceeded to clear the pond by breaking IN the
ice aRd hauling out the mill logs. Some want
ou w Voai away Iue uau anu drain away the
large pond above, and many other mild ideas
were suggested. However, after laboring long
and hard and finding no trace of the lost boy,
man chanced to ride along who naturally
enough inquired the occasion of such an un-
usual gathering. and upon being told the cause,
quietly informed them that he had seen tAe
boy at Casco village, some six miles from there.
with an axe on his shoulder going nome, as he
said, to cut his mother some wood (his former
home being in Casco). The feelings of the
multitude can be imagined. Many were wholly
incredible, but the more sensible accepted the
situation with relief and slowly aud gladly dis
persed to their respective homes, meditating
upon the peculiarities of boyhood.
Moral-It is better to make inquiries before
draining mill ponds. j. Fl
