important Low Case.

Important Lew Case.
GARDINER, November 10. The important
law case against Olcr & Co., ice dealers, Bal
timore, left to Judge Danforths decision re-
garding the obligations of the ice company
to fence in the ice fields on the river where
they are cutting ice, and whether they can
be held responsible for damage arising from
weak or open spots on the fields if such spots
were not occasioned by the ice being removed.
The suit is brought by man whose horse
was drowned by breaking through the ice.
The decision is looked for by the ice compa-
nies with interest.
Proposed Free Bridge.
A company has been formed to build a free
bridge across the Kennebec here. The legis-
lature will be petitioned for charter. Eff
forts have been made to buy the old toll
bridge, which is great obstruction between
country towns and the city, but without sue
| cess. A free bridge would bring large
amount Of trade to this city which now goes
to other towns.
Great Indignation at the accounting
OUT Business.
BANGOR, November 10. The reports from
Augusta of the intention of the Governor and
Council to connt out republican majorities,
and thus sieze the Central State government,
were fully credited by the leading democrats
here on Saturday, and republicans who have
been inclined to doubt the alleged revolution
airy designs, have come to regard the threat
enings as serious. Great Indignation is ex-
pressed at the proposed outrage and its per-
petration would undoubtedly cause most in
tense excitement ever known in this State.
Many Of the leading republicans Of this sec
ton go to Augusta Monday.

Your correspondent has taken considerable
pains to ascertain the views of democrats and
greenbackers in this section, relative to the
counting out process" by the Governor and
Council, with the following results: OF sew
enty that were seen and conversed with, fifty
unhesitatingly and with strong and vigorous
language denounced such a scheme as revO-
lutionary, and not to be tolerated, and cannot
be made to believe that any such course is
contemplated. Twelve said substantially
that they only desired that the laws of the
State be strictly and imperatively applied in
this particular, without regard to the result /;
whether such course results in seating flu
sion or republican majority in the legisla-
ture. and believed the Governor and Council
would thus act. Eight said they were salts
fed there is no authority for the proposed
counting out process, but it would be good
thing to give the republicans dose of their
own medicine. Said they, "you fellows
counted us out in South Carolina and Louis-
ana and now we propose to play it back on
you" and may say in conclusion, that the
popular mind is aroused to state Of feverish
excitement, by the proofs that seem to exist
of the proposed revolutionary proceedings of
the Governor and Council, such as has not
existed since the days Of 81.

A gentleman who has just returned from
a visit to the Corinna silver region reports
that there is great excitement in that vicinity
and that there are many people there from
different parts Of the State looking over the
chances for investing. The whole vicinity
seems to give indications Of silver and gold,
and one very promising thing is said to be
the large amount of oxidized lead found on
the surface. The vein seems to extend clear
across Corinna and into st. Adams. As yet
no one has struck anything very rich, but
prospecting and digging are going on in anti
cipation of finding the true vein. The 'Bo-
nanza Jr." mine on the Adams farm has been
carried to depth of some fifteen feet and
rich veins of galena have been struck. In
Colorado it is the case that the deeper the
mines go the richer they prove and it may be
so in the case of the Corinna mines.

The weather prophets prognosticate that
the coming winter, will be one ofaverage temp
erature. There will be cold spell through
the middle of December. and very cold
snap during the latter part of January. The
amount of snow which will fall will aggregate
more than felt last winter, aud the chances
are that sleighing will prevail during nearly
the entire season. This is undoubtedly well
and the dealers in robes and furs, who for
many winters past, have been losers, owing
to scarcity of snow. The temperature will
probably be more even than last winter,
which was characterized by three severe
gales.

FRIDAY, Nov. Nth.
Nothing of public interest transpired in
court to-day, except perhaps the hearing in
damages in the suit of VIM. McNally VS..
Charles B. Gilman which was brought to re-
cover for a personal injury caused by firing
a bulle. into the PITS wrist. 1t was part of
the same transaction for which Gilman has
been convicted criminally and sentenced to
the State prison. The Judge heard the evil
dence and assessed the damages at $500.
The Judge also heard and disposed of num-
erous motions, such as usually come up in
| the last hours of term, and in this manner
occupied the whole day.
Exceptions have been filed and allowed in
the case of Jason p. Scribner, convicted the
| first week of the term of murder. He cannot
be removed to the State prison for at least
two or three months. He has laid in Jail
since early in May, 1873, and it is much to
be regretted that he is not now allowed to be
put to some useful labor. But his friends
| think differently, and so the delays Of the
law, and the mistakes of the law, are taken
advantage of to put off what seems to him the
evil day, but really is not so, for the day
| when he is put to ''hard labor under re-
straint, will be to him the most blessed day
of his existence.

bic that certain proceedings should be attend"
ed to at an earlier day than the mex: March
term. Accordingly the court was adjourned
till Monday, the Goth day of January next at
| ten o'clock in the forenoon.
