1t is q cause of regret and shame in any com
munity, to have class Of men who will rejoice,
actually rejoice and be glad over the downfall OF
a young man. That we have class of men OF
this description in this community, has been
clearly demonstrated within the last two days.
Young man, one who has been trying for the past
few months to lead strictly temperate and
better life, one who is surrounded on every side
by every kind of temptation, has at last been
overcome by it and yielded. This occurrence has
been made the excuse for great joification on
the part Of these men, not only the rumsellers,
but men from whom we would naturally expect
something better. They not only rejoice at the
downfall Of the young man, but fling it in the
faces of others as if great victory had been won
Are not such things disgraceful in community
where we pretend to be civilized!

are of importance. The main body of Sioux are
believed to have taken to the Big Horn mountains,
where game is more abundant and the grass
fresher. The efforts Of the Indians to burn the
grass in the valleys makes it almost imperative on
Gen. Crook to follow them up at once. His force
musters about 1900 regular soldiers and citizen
volunteers, besides the 200 Snake Indians allies,

A correspondent writes that farmers along the
Androscoggn have about finished haying; the
weather having been very favorable and large
burdens of hay secured. The extensive use of
moving machines causes an early gathering OF
the crop, as nearly every farmer possesses one,
either for one or two horses, and sometimes oxen
are used. Crops generally are looking well, es-
pacially corn and potatoes, and early maketers of
the last article receive two dollars per bushel in
the Lewiston market.
