which remained undetached.
Governor Fairbanks and c. M. Spaul-
ding, Prison Director, with DR.. Furness
and Superintendent Spencer, visited the
State Prison, last Tuesday. After in
specting the various departments of the
prison, a call was made at John P.
Phair's cell. His Excellency spent some
time conversing with Phair, and seemed
to leave with a favorable impression.
The prison under Superintendent Spen-
Ger is kept in perfect order, indicating
thorough discipline in all departments.
The directors made many decided i'm
provemenLs, evincing marked executive
capacity compared with past administra-
tions. Phair has recently received a
large quantity of luxuries from promi-
nent citizens of Springfield and Miller's
Falls, Massachusetts,.
Thomas Peggington of East Richford,
was on his way to his sugar bush, a few
mornings ago, with his dog, when he
suddenly came face to face with a huge
panther. The dog was torn to pieces in
twinkling, and the beast then turned
his attention to Mr.. Peggington, who
though unarmed. kept his presence Of
mind, and avoided the creatures first
spring by falling on his face. The sec
ond time he was caught by the shoulder
and a desperate struggle followed, both
rolling over and over on the ground. anc
finally falling over a precipice twenty
4 feet high; which ended the combat. Mr.
Peggington lay unconscious for severa
hours, until found by bis friends, anc
he is SO severely injured that his recov
cry is doubtful. The panther has no
been seen since the fray, but is being
looked after by hunters.

wild animals, pulling and hauling, and

his sailors were Anxiously waiting his ap~
pearance. They received him in their
arms with shout which sounded over
the whole bay, and which was responded
to with three cheers from the American
squadron, as we'll as the vessels OF
many other Gags, whose crews had
been spectators of a part of the
exciting scenes which we have endeavored
to relate. Governor Don now issued his
proclamation fo=bidding any intercourse,
for hostile purposes, between the Ameri-
can and British officers, and applied him
self seriously to the task of effecting q
final settlement of all differences between
them. he had frequent conferences for
that end with Commodore Stewart, the
commander-in-chief of the American
squadron. Through these exertions of
the Governor and the Commodore terms
of amity were agreed upon, and some
months afterwards, upon the return of
the Erie, proposals for peace were &C
cepted and general pacifcation con-
cluded. Governor Don gave grand ball
in celebration of the treaty of peace, at
which the English and American officers
came together with good will and COM

Mrs. Gaines.

A Washington letter to the Cincinnati
Commercial says:
The community was rather startled by
the announcement in Sundays paper of
an engagement between Mrs. Myra Clark
Gaines and Mr.. Billy McGarraghan,
whose claim before Congress is an old
story. A first reading Of the article as
tonished people, but q sober second
reading convinced them that it was a
hoax. Poor Mrs. Gaines, she is welded
to but one thing-''Ihe Case" and can
anything in this life be more pitiable
than that of q daughter striving for
thirty and more years TO establish her
legitimate claim to property left by her
own father? Frem court to court this
dauntless woman has fought her ground

a foot, but never, never giving up. What

make il 30 infectious that whoever hears
it must smile, if they don't join in with it,

FLuMEN ANNnRun.

Like the flow Of a broad, trimming river,
Doth the passing of yeara seem TO me
Like the flow of broad, brimming river,
As 1t rolls to the tathomless sea
Eor silent the river it fioweth,
And 1t turneth again never more;
But it sleeps in the infinite ocean,
With the waters that passed on before
And only moment in passing
1t fleeing y mirrors the shore.
And 1t beareth along with Its current
IL hurreth on in it's flow,
Full many a bark that is freighted
With bliss, or is burdened with wo,
But resisilsssly on TO the ocean
1t baareth them all with it's might,
And it oils in the shadowless nOondav
Apd il giides in the blackness Of night.
And the youth is exultaut observing
How swiftly the tide rolls along;
And 1t seemeth too slow for his wishes
While the heart in his bosom beats strong.
But the old man he signs and he trembles,
And he wises thu current were still
As the flow in the d!kes of he fen land,
Or the mantling pond by the mill.
All 20 with the stream, fc ne'er mortal
Could stem the strong course of lis tide
And many that start out together,
Ere they know it, the currents divide.
And sll as they sail down that riv,r,
Drift on without atlas or ebert;
They know Dot how near 10 the ocean
They know not how soon they must part
And they love on the breast Of that river,
And whisper soft words FER its wave;
He believes the soft D. omise she murmured
And she trusts the TOAD VOWS that he gave.
And they weep on the breast of that river.
And mingle their tears with its tide;
But the stream rolls along, never staying,
To the ocean unbOunded and wide.
Aud they sin on the breast of that river,
And they kneel, and repent, and despair;
From the mist that brOods over its bosom,
Come the shrek and curse, and the prayer
But the pitiless current, unheeding,
Rolls on without pause or delay;
And the boat is borne on with the driftwood,
And the gold dust along with the clay,
Till each bail that hath voyagsd the river
Der the currentless Sc a disappears,
And each soul Ger EteInitY's ocean
Passeth out from the river of yesrs

Baked Beans.

There are beans, and then there are
beans! This is o dictum that we need not
argue, in Yankee land, where the favorite
vegetable is mis-cooked in as many differ
emit ways as there are to make poor bread.
We always sympathized in the jeremiad
of the outspoken Gail Hamilton (what
would have become of her if she had kept
pent up for the past dozen years?) over
the decay of New England knack, in mod
ern days, in preparing the regulation Sum
day morning breakfast. We believe she
classed it with the Observation-Disclosures of
the lost arts. There are many manifesta-
tons of this loss, among which are
the slippery, sloppery, yellow beans
of the corner bakery-intact, globular,
perversely individual, which no man
is justified in guessing are either
steamed, boiled, or baked. It is q fun
damental axiom in correct bean-baking
that no dish can be right that is sun
mussed." A whole bean is a confession
Of failure by the cook. Then there are
the baked beans of the restaurant-a dry,
underdone, waxy, aggravating mess. A

robust enough to eat pork, and you hay
the art 10 cook them without it, all tina
is required is TO season the dish to tn

FIRE YESTERDAY MoRNING.-The alarm of
fire from box 80 yesterday morning at 4.3O was
cuased by fire in the ell of a house on Port
land street, owned by Ezra Russell and occu-
pied by Mrs. Danforth. When discovered the
lire had got good Roadway and soon spread to
another house occupied by Mr.. Kingsbury. The
department was very prompt in replying to the
alarm, and on arriving on the spot went to
work with will. The flames were soon ex.
tinguished with loss of the ell, some damage
to Mr. Kingsbury's house and a slight scorch-
ing of the window stills of Mr.. True's house on
Hanover street. Mrs. Danforth was insured
for $500 in the agency of Rollins, Loring &
Adams, and Mr.. Russell had both houses well
insured. 1t is thought that the fire was the
work of an incendiary.

unsold. The half fare arrangement from Fab

been completed and large part Of the party
