Senator Bayard was assailed in the
Senate yesterday by couple of political
6rayos, Boutwell, and Morton, and de-
Tended himself with fierce indignation.
1t has come to pretty pass when such
a man is compelled to vindicate his low

answer was the only one fit to be made

A Correcfion-The Maxner Case.

FREEPoRT, Nov. q 1876.
To the Editor of the Press
Sir,-There is a report quite prevalent that
was arrested lately in Wiscasset for cruelty to
horse, and to get out of it and hush it up
paid $3.50. My success has been SO great in
Maine, and am so strongly endorsed by the
leading horsemen of the country that as duty
to myself and to all who have given me atten-
ton, L feel induced to make simple statement
of facts, which I hope you will, in the spirit of
your usual fairness, publish.
The horse referred to was four year old,
coarse grained, lop-sided kicker; if broken and
gentle, not worth more than one hundred dol
lars, one of the very worst horses to control
have handled in the state of Maine, or in years
of experience. He was brought in BY A Rob-
ms when in Union, Monday, Nov. 16. When
hitched up to be driven he exhibited the most
stubborn character, baking and throwing him
self He was controlled and driven gently in
the street with perfect success, allowing the
shafts to come against his quarters without at
tempting to kick, balk or run away, to do
which before was Impossible. The owner of
the colt happened to meet US four days after, in
Warren, when within seven miles of his place
He reported that there was some soreness
shown by the colt and wanted to know what he
should do for it. Did not intimate or claim
any damage, but eight days after, when out of
his neighborhood and out of the county, sent a
special writ for arrest, claiming damages of
$500. There was no alternative but settlement
on the best terms l could. as 1 had engage
ments ahead for weeks and travelling at large
expense.
My surgeon went back to arrange the matter,
found no permanent difficulty. There was
nothing but muscular soreness, the result of
throwing himself down, though it was claimed
by the owner that the horse was entirely
worthless
All fair-minded readers can draw their own
differences. guarantee perfect satisfaction to
all giving me attention, and after visiting over
one hundred towns IN the state of Maine, have
not in single instance before been called upon
for dollars damage, or in a single instance
did man call for his money D. WAGNER.

John j. Clancy died on Thursday at the
Maine General Hospital, aged 20 years, after
lingering illness of more than two years. Many
of our readers will remember him " ith interest.
Bereft of father and mother at very early age
and without relatives to care for him, by h is
own exertions he supported himself, and, std
ing while at his work. prepared himself for ad-
mission to the High 5School, where he maa
tanned position among the highest in rank,
until compelled, much against his will to We
up his studies on account of ill health. As a
carrier of the PRESS and as an office boy. he
gained reputation for integrity tina. command
ed the confidence of all who knew him. Bright,
active, faithful, honest and ambitious, he gave
promise of brilliant future, and very many
will grieve at his death, not only on account of
their affection for him but also because of the
promise of his life. Young as be was, his ex-
ample is we'll worthy of emulation. He was of
siDgularly lovable and attractive disposition
and readily gained the affectionate regard of all
with whom he came in contact. AS an evi
dence of the esteem in which he was held, the
resident physician at the Hospital reports that
he had more visiting friends than have called
on any other patient since the establishment of
the institution. His funeral occurred yester
day at 3 p. m.

The Dirigo Mining Co. organized under the
laws of Maine, of which S. Brown Of Kenne-
bunkport is President,.and S. E. Bryant of
Ke nebunk Secretary, have issued stock in &C
cordance with their charter, some..of which has
been sold in New York, and contract has
been made with Hersey Bros of South Boston,
for ten stamp mill, and steam engine of 80
horse power, having boiler capable of carry
ing one of 40 horse power which will crush and
separate so tons of rock in "a hours, the whole
to be completed, set up and ready for business
on the first of March, 1877. S. Silverman of
Chicago, an old experienced engineer and min
er, will superintend the building of the mill
and engine; he will also have charge of the
mining operations when completed. Mr.. Sill
verman is very sanguine of the success of the
undertaking, having at the outset made several
satisfactory assays of the rock.

RE WARD

For several days single paper has been stol-
en- from each package of this journal going to
Thomaston. To stop this peculation, annoying
alike to US and our subscribers, we offer re-
ward of TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS for evidence
which shall lead to the conviction of the thief.
On Tuesday last boy caught in similar
transgresson was sentenced to sixty days con-
aud his captor has received the twenty-fi dol
lars offered for his detection. A little shrewd
watchfulness on the part of some person on the
train between Portland and Thomastop, may
be rewarded to like amount.
