A ROUGH VOYAGE.
Arrival of the Clara Eaton.

The bark Clara Eaton arrived at this port
about p. m. yesterday and anchored in the
stream. Capt. Lunt, after an interview with
the managing owner, Immediately left for bis
meme in Falmouth.
The Clara Eaton left Aspinwall for Key
West about the first of November, 1878, and
reached that port after fair voyage, during
which she lost her captain-as previously re-
ported-from Chagres fever. On Nov. 30 she
left Key West for Portland under command OF
Capt. Luut of the B. f. Lowell. She was
three times near the Georges Banks, and the
last time within 100 miles of this port when
she was blown back $50 miles by heavy gale
and reached Bermuda January s, with sails
split. On the 18th she started from Bermuda
for Portland. On the third day out she en-
countered q tremendous gale which carried
away the rudder-head, split sails and strained
the vessel badly and if it had not have been Tor
the skill and exertions of the captain, together
with the efforts of the crew the vessel would
never again have been heard from. Temporary
steering apparatus was rugged, sails mended as
we'll as possible, and the vessel kept on her
way. From that time succession of heavy
gales and seas were encountered. 1t required
almost the whole crew to steer the vessel and,
with their past exertions when they arrived in
port they were a thoroughly used up set. Mr.
Lsrvy. the chief mate, is very ill from expos
ure, aud the cook quite sick.
On the passage the Clara Eaton passed q
dismasted bark, but could not ascertain the
name.
Capt, Lunt is very smart young man. He
took cargo from Portland to Liverpool, dis
charged, took in another cargo and arrived at
Havana, Caba, all within 2 months 26 days,
and then went to Key West and brought home

A Smart Town.

FAIRFIELD, Feb. 4, 1879.
We think we may crow a little down here In
our country town for the manner OF doing our
town business. At the March meeting in 1877
SO much complaint was made with the ordin-
airy method of collecting taxes that new sys-
tenn was inaugurated. Bids were asked with
the proviso that all taxes not abated should be
collected before March 1st, 1878. f. e. Tuck,
Esq, undertook the job for three aud one.half
per cent Fifteen thousand dollars were COM
mitted to him, of which about sixty was abat.
ed, and before the data of our annual March
meeting, 1873. the balance was paid into the
treasury. Mr. Tack again offered to collect for
four per cent. and collect the entire tax not
abafed or lose his commissions. The past year
$14, 900 were assessed. The books were given
to Mr.. Tuck July 1st, 1873, and Feb LIST, 1879,
the final settlement was made with the town
officers. Twelve dollars were abaied on poll
taxes, SAL error in assessing was corrected, and
the balance has been receipted for by the treas
urer. We doubt if there is another town in the
state that can show as good g record.
The saving of interest over the old system
more than makes up the extra DER cent COM
mission, while formerly hundreds of dollars
were lost by the delay in collecting. Hardly a
town can be found but has amounts due on tax
book extending over several years. The sdor-
ton Of this method gives universal satisfaction,
secures the entire tax, reduces the interest ac-
count aud puts the finances of the town in
available shape.
The amount CT snow gives the lumbermen
considerable trouble and makes it difficult 10
get their supplies to camp.
The prevailing epidemic, whatever it be,
seems to leave those attacked with sensitive
condition of the lungs and in the case of sew
eral has resulted in death Nothjnp has ever
been known like it. Added to this among the
adults, the children have been affl ,cted wi h
measles, whooping cough, chicken pox and
scarlatiua. SETH

The Discussion an Prohibition

The discussion on the question of prohibition
before the Marie Charitable sMechanic's Assc-
citation, at their hall last evening, drew a
packed house.
The resolution as discussed read as follows:
Resolved, That ths prohibition of the liquor
traffic IS il the highest interest of the state and
people; and that the policy of prohibition is
clearly within the right of the government.
Nothing new was elected on either side, but
the discussion was spirited and good feeling

A WARNING TO mARRIED PEOPLE
The Penalty of Opening a Husband or
Wife,s Letter.

Thursday afternoon John A. Barnes of Pitts
field, was arrested on warrant issued By Com
missioner Rand of this city and brought to
Portland, charged with having taken from the
post Office in Pittsfeld, on January 9Th, ceI-
tain letter directed to Annie M. Barnes, his
wife; also with taking letter out of the post
Office at Detroit, Maine, on January 10, which
contain ed $40. and embezzing the same; that
the letter was obtained from the postmaster al
Detroit by fraud and deception. The statute,
of the United States, section 1892, say that any
person who opens letter addressed to another
person with design to abstract correspondence
or pry into the secrets or business of another,
even if the letter contains nothing valuable,
shall be fined not more than $500, or sentenced
to imprisonment not more than one year, or
both. Section $3.50 also provides that any per-
son who shall take letter from the post Office,
or mails, belonging to another, and open, EN-.
bezzle, or destroy it, or shall by fraud or decep-
ton obtain letter containing articles of value,
shall be punished by hard labor not less than
one year or moro than five years.
So far as we can learn we understand the
complaint alleges that John A. Barnes is the
husband of Annie M. Barnes, both of Pitts
field. Before marriage with Mr.. Barnes the
lady was widow with one child. The couple
have rot lived very happily together and
short time ago Mrs. Barnes wrote letter to
friends in Augusta asking them to send her $40
by money order so that she could 60 to that city
and go to work and earn her own living. The
money order was sent, it is alleged, ard also
that Mr.. Barnes took the letter from the office
and compelled his wife, by ill treatment, to
sign the order by which he procured the money
and pocketed it. Then the wife wrote again to
Augusta and asked that registered letter COZ
tanning $40 be forwarded to the Detroit post
office to her address. This letter, it is alleged,
was forwarded, and also that Mr.. Barnes got
wind of It, went to the Detroit ofice-only
three miles from Pittsfeld-obtained it and ap-
propriated the money.
1t will thus be seen that the practice of hus-
bands opening their wives, and wives their
husbands letters, is liable to lead them into
trouble, unless they can prove, to the satisfac.
ton of the court. that there is an implied con-
sent Very few married people are probably
aware of this fact, and it shows that Jealous
couples must not allow their jealousy to lead
them into snsres. When Mrs. x peeps into
the post Office box and sees delicate envelope
directed 10 feminine hand to Mr. x. she must
calm her agitation and await until Mr.. X.
shows her the contents of the epistle. or care
lessly leaves it around the house, aud SO when
Mr. X takes letter from his box addressed in
a suspicious handwriting to Mrs. X be must
await the time when her ladysh is pleased to
explain.
Mr.. Barnes was arrigned before Commission
ard was ord, red to recognize in $1,000 for his
appearance for examination at o. m. today.
