The BUTCHERS FROM LEwIsToN.-The
butchers and grocers of Lewiston, with their
ladies, to the number of about of 300, came to
this city yesterday morning over the Grand
Trunk. accompanied by Johnson's band. Ar
irving here they embarked on the barge Island
Belle and enjoyed sail in the harbor of about
two hours. They then landed at Little Che
beague Island, where grand clam-bake was
served. They touched at Peaks Island for
short time on the return, and arrived here at
about five o'clock. The line of march was
then taken up through Middle street to Market
square, where halt was made for short time.
They then marched down Congress, Exchange
and Middle streets to the Grand Trunk depot
where they took the train to return at six
o'clock. They made fine appearance in line.
1t was expected that our butchers and grocers
would give them collation. at the City Hall,
but it failed for some reason.

THE HOLDEN CUP.-The third and last race

good as it otherwise would have been. The
throat halyards of the Georgia gave way as
she was rounding the breakwater, thus putting
her back some. The following is the official
time:

A REVOLVING CRIME.-The Advertiser of
last evening gives the following particulars of
shameful crime: Twenty years ago M. N.
Bruins, the well known cabinet maker in Mar
ket Square, was married in the old country to
his present wife. By her he had a daughter,
and soon after was called away from home, his
absence extending over four years. When he
returned he found another daughter, evidently
not his own. Taking advantage of this circum-
stance which put his wife completely in his
power he abused not only his Oldest daughter
but also the other girl. This abuse has extend
ed, in each case, over several years, the older
girl, his own daughter. having been subjected
to three operations, on account of her criminal
ity. The affair was disclosed to the police
through the daughters husband, who suspect
ed all was not right, and on questioning his
wife she confessed. Marshal Bridges then
summoned Mrs. Bru ms and the younger girl,
who corroborated the testimony of Mrs. Nau-
son, and Bruins was arrested yesterday. He
admitted his guilt to the Marshal. and declar-
ed that he ought to suffer the severest punish
ment of the law, in which the public will agree
with him,

well written composition Of Charley
