"A correspondent OF the Portland Press
pays the following compliments to two OF
the Representative IN this County.
\ prominent man in House legislation
was Hincbley OF Bluehill. who for TWO pre-
yious years, has been Senator; a jovial,
good fellow, greatly liked tor his social
qualities. He is full of business, if there
be occasion for work, aud can make all ar
gument that hits home like blow from a
blacksmith's hammer.
Hadlock of Cranberry Isle was a House
member, whose Speciality was strict atten-
ton to Ousiness. No measure went bv
him unexamned, aud il was very likely TO
be challenged. He is dsciplinarian in
parliamentary forms. and any irregularity
OF proceedings was sure 10 elicit a protest
which his uByielding stusbornness made
effective. During the tour years he has
served in the House and Senate, he has
never failed TO answer at roll-call nor been
absent from mis- seat during the transaction
OF legislative business.
