understood they agreed and separated at 1890

character of the defence, and the eminent ability
considering also the prevalent disposition of jur-
ors to act enently towards persons accused of
great crimes, verdict for assault and battery on

Damari.ootta and Newcastle Locals.

March l5lh, thirteen persons, men, women and
children from South Bristol passed through this
village, en- route to Riverside, Washington county
to join thirteen others from the same neghbot-
hood, who went to the same place last year. The
report. from the party who went first, are Of a
very hattering nature, as regards climate, SOIL
agriculture and fishing.
Our people al Damai iscotta and Newcastle are
moving towards building a dam across the river
lust above the bridge. a very large public meet
ing was held Tuesday night, and the committee
there chosen, have had one or two meetings since
have drawn up the papers, and subscriptions to
the stock have commenced. 1t Is not yet certain
what the result will be; but all are hoping that
the enterprise may be carried through success
fully.
The talk along the line just now, Is, what action
shall be taken in regard TO the interest for this
year on the bonds issued in aid of the Knox &
Lincoln Railroad. There is strong talk, occasion
ally, by some persons, about reputation; but
predict upon sober second thought, not one OF
the municipalities, from Bath 10 Rockland, will
take this unwise and damaging step. The road
cost an enormous sum II the first place yet, but
for the very great depression Of all business in
tere.is siuce 1874, the results would have been
such that but little OF this fault finding would
now be heard. One thing is certain, however,
the managers Of this road must take some steps
looking towards settling up, or by another year
iue!e VIII oe "oise Jain tuau lucy near now. ii
the road could be placed 50 IS 10 pay one half of
ITS bonded debts the towns and cities would
probably, to-day, freely vote 10 let it go, and pay
the other half themselves, and be rid of what they
feel to be serious burden. One thing have
noticed in connection with this matter that We are
sorry to see, that is, disposition upon the part of
few TO magnify the situation for the worse, BY
telling men with small farms, small houses, etc,
that they are to be entirely ruined. The fact is
if the towns of Newcastle and Dsmariscotta were
obliged to pay every dollar Of these bonds they
owe on account of tins road, it would take but
one-siXth of their property, while At the worse
showing the road will pay one third it, bonded debt
1t Is hard state of things for these towns, but
might be worse. Let us make the best OF it, and
dare to do right" under all circumstances
