1t is now reported that the surrender
of Winslow by Great Britain is only de-
ferred until the Government can find a
pretext for making it without awkward
ness. Gradually public opinion in Eng
land has arrayed itself against the posi-
ton taken by the British Ministry and
in favor of that of our Government. If
WinslOw shall be given up. as now seems
probable, it will not be so much triumph
of diplomacy as of common sense. Equity,
law, and prececent we're on our side, and
the calm judgment of the English people,
in forming which the English press did
not seem to have much influence, ha,
finally conceded all that we have claim
ed. The reason why the British Gov
eminent assumed on this question /;
stand which it must now abandon, still
remains an inexplicable puzzle.

During the past winter, while the work of re.
lgion and moral reform has been going on all
over the state, and country, the little town of
Thorndike has not been idle; but, through the in
iuence of its religious and moral-loving citizens,
has been trying to make amends for those evil
deeds, which, within the past few years, have been
stamped upon its history.
The religious interest has been strongly marked
through some portions of the town quite a large
number both young and old, have evinced an in
terest in the work. A new class has been formed
composed, for the most part, of new members,
who are trying to lead a better life. 1t is to be
hoped, that the work may still continue to prosper.
Sayward Lodge of Good Templars are doing a
good work. The meetings are held on Saturday
evening in llarmon's hall. Although we cannot
boast of so large Lodge, yet the interest which
is manifested by our members, shows that they
are alive. We are sorry to say that the older
members of society do not take as much interest
5 they should but leave it to the younger por
ton.
The Thorndke Grange, the meetings Of which
are held at llarmons hall, is reported as being IN
tlourIshing condition.
Every one is crying "hard times" Business at
the station is unusually dull; but little produce Is
being hauled in The farmers are waiting for the
rise.
Mr.. A. Gates has lately moved another house,
down near the depot, which he intends to repare
the coming spring. We understand that several
new buildings going up this summer.
Quite large amount of lumber has been
hauled to Saywards mill the past winter, which
can be disposed of for building purposes.
The town meeting last Monday passed off with
but little excitement The Republicans carried
the day, and reelected the old board of Select
men,

Those most intimate with the late Capt. VIM.
McGivery are greatly surprised and panied that
his mournful death should be set forth to be the
work of his own hand, Those who saw him the
day before his death say that he was never more
cheerful. Ills son Willie had been trying to shoot
rats in the granery, and his failing to succeed was
a a ppasantrV with the father who took
the pistol and went to the outbuilding to if he
could do any better. The next thing known Of
him he was found dead. 1t is asserted that had it
been his purpose to take his life the weapon would
have been clutched in his hand The statement
that Capt. McCilvery was greatly embarrassed by
his business is emphatically denied. Capt. n. Z.
Davis of this city, who has been partner of MIR.
McGilvery, has been informed that his estate is
solvent, and that there was nothing in his affairs
to give him uneasiness. 1t is quite evident that
the story of suicide was rushed into the papers by
a sensationalist or some person who had some
spite to crafty Portland Press
