gent grasp OF the subjects commented on. The
tone Is in every respect commendable. The read

pressing it in apt terms, and that the conserva-
tive position assumed is marked by a dignity and
independence which show that the ideas present.

index of policy i. is suspicious, and We hrve no
doubt will satisfy the best elements oi ,uci,N ia
all sections of the country. Whether the deeds
of the new administration will correspond to these
pleasant words of the inaugural remains to be
seen.
The Democrat says-The inaugural address Of
Mr.. Hayes is the first statesmanlike utterance
that has come from the republican party since
the close of the war. If he shall have the firm
ness and courage TO carry cut the broad and Cath
Ollie views and purposes expressed in that docu-
ment, he will disaim much opposition to his adj
ministraon, greatly reduce the difficulties of his
position and confer real benefit upon the country.

At our municipal election on Monday. the fol-
lowing officers were elected to serve during the
current municipal year:
Mayor-John w. Clarke.

E. w. Whitcomb, j. ID. Hodgdon.

ID. Il. Lowe, s. Il. Glazier.
Ward 5-Aldermsn, Geo. S. Fuller. Council
men, w. A. Winter, Charles ii. Richardson
The election passed off very quietly, and with
| sea- ELY ripple of excitement. Political issues
seem TO have been entirely ignored, and all shades
of politics blend like unto the hues of mid-sum-
mer rainbow. We doubt not the material and
moral interests of the city will be safe in the
hands of the members elect of our city govern
ment.
We learn that the old Academy building and
lot can be bought by the city at reasonable price,
| and the Importance Of securing the property for
school purposes cannot be overestimated. Our
city authorities will probably investigate this sub
Ject.
Our new city government will meet at the City
| rooms on Monday next at the usual hour, for the
purpose of subscribing TO the oath of office and
organizing for active service in the various de-
partments of duty. The Mayerelec will also
| submit his annual communication to a convention
of both branches of the city government.
During the firing on Monday evening of fifty
guns, the ringing Of the city bells and general
outdoor demonstrations of joy and satisfaction at
the successful Inauguration of President Hayes,
several stores and private residences were illumi-
mated quite tastefully, while bonfres, fire works,
ard the inspiring music Of the fife and drum
called together vast crowds of people, giving
streets quite holiday appearance. Had the fact
been generally known that a demonstration was
to be made, Examinations would have been more
general, and preparations more elaborate. Every
thing was conducted satisfactorily, and without
the least indications of riot or rowdyism.
We learn that the next meeting of the Benevo-
lent Society of this city will be held at the resi-
dence of Judge knight, on Union Street, above
Middle, on Thursday afternoon and evening next.
A full ate ndance is desired.

The smelt and eel fishing will soon be over, and

The prospect that the shedding is about to fail
has brought considerable cord wood, oak timber

ing we are doing to what we might do, consider

water power, we noticed a short time since in the
Journal, that Damariscotta, two miles below US,

dance of water pouring in torrents over them. In
addition to the use now made of this privilege,
immense machinery could be driven. All that is
needed is the enterprise and the capital. What
may not be generally known, is nevertheless
fact; when or before the first Lowell company To-
Gated at that place, they sent party here to view
this water power, and we are credibly informed
that this was considered superior to the Lowell
privilege, but there was then no railroad to this
place, beside the then owners would not think of
selling. Now we have . railroad, and the present
owners are rational men, and will sell at reason
able rates. Here is grand opportunity for some
enterprising men of means. Our Damariscotta

Last October a twelve-pounder cannon was
brought by one Of the westward freight trains
and placed upon the platform of the freight depot
in this city. There it remained for weeks, no one
appearing to claim it. On the evening Of the 9TH
of November, the democrats here, flushed with
supposed victory, were seek ing some avenue to vent
their surplus enthusiasm. They looked with envi-
Gus eyes upon this cannon, and finally determined
to bring it out and let it speak. Several republic
can boys got wind of their designs, and while
they were preparing their ammunition, hauled oil
the gun and hid it in an obscure place. That gun
never saw the light from that time until Monday
evening last. when it was trotted out by the boys
who had concealed it and parsded through the
streets. The democrats were surprised to see
the gun again, but could scarcely wonder that the
boys felt little proud of their achievement, and
that they cheered Justify as they passed along the
streets. After the march the cannon was pu. back
in its place at the depot.
