The Bangor Wing relates rather a strange
accident which happened at a small boarding
house at the foot o. MON ST., Bangor Saturday
morning. 1t seems that little boy year and a
half old, named Jimmie Russell, walked out of
the rear door Of the house, and went in between
the two buildings, which only about nine inches
apart at one end and very much less at the other,
until he wedged himself in, so that he could not
move either way His mother discovered where
he was but could get to him. At this time his
sister about twelve years old. named Mary Rus
sell, went up stairs and attempted to go down to
her brother assistance she got down so that she
could reach him, but at this point she slipped and
| was so fastened that il was impossible for her to
move. large crowd had by this time copgre-
gated at the house, but it was found impossible
for any one TO get in between the buildings. and
the children were obliged to remain in their un-
comfortable quarters until place about three feet
square had been sawed out OF the side of the
house, when they were released Neither OF
them were at all injured
1t is fortunate the Boston Traveller has but little
circulation in Maine, for should it's abuse OF Pres
ident Chamberlain Of Bowdoin College and other
noble, life long and honored republicans of OUT
State be generally circulated here, il might be
bsrrassng to the republican campaign. Pres ident
Chamberlain himself can stand it we'll enough
lie was five times torn by rebel bullets, in the
front of battle, was promoted on a field of battle
by special order of 1t. Gen Grant, thing never
done before by that ofhcer-wss designated by
Gen. Meade to receive the arms and munitions
surrendered by Lee at Appomattox, was four
times elected Governor Of Ma inc by an average Of
some eighteen thousand majority over his demo
cratic opponeuts-be ing at least seven thousand
larger than the average republican msjoritcs since
and for six or seven years has been the success
full and beloved President of scat OF learning
second to none in the country, and in fame only to
that Of Harvard. Yet the Travellers i'll humored
paragraphist sees nothing roble or prsisewor,hy
in him, but on the contrary calls him "a product
Of political in,gnifcance," and otherwise alludes
to him dimnutivey and with contempt But
while resident Chamberlain can afford to be in
different to such tfcatment-snd probably he is
we humbly suggest whether ii is good party poi
icy to continue it.
