4 new granite block on the corner of Wat
or and Winthrop streets, extending to the
store of \. Tobcy and son, would be among
the most desirable improvements ofthis era Of
our growing prosperity. We have no doubt
that a number of first class stores would be
in demand. while the second story might be
furnished for business purposes. with spa
cious hall above, that would be credtably to
the city anda source of income to the owners
1t might not be bad plan for the city to aid
in the construction Ofsuch building to thccX
tent of the value ofour old City Hall property
and have the use of the new hall for city pur
poses. and offices on the second floor for the
use of our City Council, police court. sc.
We have now a granite library building near
" completcd-ihe finest specimen of archi-
lecture and workmanship in the State-and
have in prospect a spacious and elegant gran
tie church: that it seems highly fitting and
proper that this granite city should have Il
granite block and hall as above suggested.
The subject is worthy of serious consdera-
ton.
The false construction hv the Maine Stand
ard. and others. of Senator Blaine's language
concerning the farmers of kenncbcc county
is on par with the general scope of demo-
cratic and grcenback arguments at the pres
ent time. NO candid ana truthful listener to
Mr.. Blaine's speech in this city on TUESDAY
evening last. will take any stock in the parti
IAN maligntv of his traducers. Any one who
cannot distinguish sarcasm from statement of
fact, might excite the pity and commiseration
of mankind: but one who wilfully falste>
the language of an opponent j. unworthy of
trust in the discussion of any question.
The numbers present at the Republican
Rally in this city on Tuesday cveningto hear
Senator Blaine, are variouslv estimated at
from two to five thousands many insisting
that the latter estimate is none too large
We hear of one man, however, who expresses
the opinion that all could have been comfort
ably accommodated with seats in the Baptist
church 1t is but fair to state that he is not
suspected of being a republican at present :;
though it is to be hoped that his increased
appreciation of truth may yet lead him to
vote the republican ticket, and help elect our
next governor Davis.
Its greatly to the credit of our city thatun-
form good nature. good order and remarka-
Bile sobriety have been generally observed
at all our political meetings.
On account of making needed repairs up
on the Baptist church in this city. there will

Fire on North Street.


| Hardly had the ringing Of the noon bell
ceased yesterday, when another bell started
up and began to sound forth the alarm of fire.
| 1t was soon noised about that +. w. Getchells
house on North street was on fire, and great
numbers turned their steps in that direction,
50 that there was soon gathered large crowd
of men, women, and children from all over
! the city.
| The fire broke out in Mr.. Gctchclls stable,
| but no one can tell the origion OF il. Tins
| building was soon in flames and was totally
destroyed. Some few articles were saved, but
most of its entire contents, to- the value of
about $500. as Mr.. Getchcll estimates, were
burned From the stable the flames spread to
the ell of the house, and this was destroyed.
but its contents were about all saved The
main part of the house was then attacked
bv the fire and suffered considerable
damage. The part left untouched by the
flames was greatly injured by smoke, water
and in other ways. The furniture and other
contents of the main portion of the building
were saved.
The steamer "Cushnoc" was ON hand IN
good season. but the nearest reservoir was at
the corner of Bridge and Elm streets and here
it was stationed. The Getty" was delayed,
being Obliged to go all over the city for hose,
ana Wncn II ulu get 10 Work III was ~ lHt lcs-
ervoir on Sewall st. near Col. Dewitt'S house.
But hose was laid and good stream soon
came from this steamer The tremen work
ed hard and did their best to subduc the fire
and finally succeeded. The property was in
sured for $4,000 in Macomber's Agency.
Mr.. Getchell's house was comparatively
new, having been put up four years ago. Mrs.
Getchell, whose health is not good. was over
come by excitement and taken sick at the
house of neiglhOr. None of the men were
at home, Mr.. Getchell being at the steamboat
wharf attending to the loading of some goods.
while his hired man was unloading goods AT
the journal Office when the bells were ring
ing
Had the new reservoir just at the foot of
North street been completed the steamers
could have had stream on the buildings
sooner and perhaps have saved the main
building and ell. 1t seems quite strange that
the last time the fire bells were rung, some
few weeks ago it was on account of the
catching on FIRE of some refuse stuff on the
premises of Ed. Getchcll, on Bridge street.

Bangor & Bucksport Railroad, as soon as it
passes out of the control of the European \
North American Railway.
The Bangor & Bucksport railroad has been

time since its completion has been under the
control of the European & North American
Railroad Company. The railroad is about
eighteen miles in length When first con-
structed the track was Of a gauge of five feet
and six inches. This was at that time the
gauge of all the railroads east of Bangor. At
the time that the European 4 North Ameri-
can railway, Bangor 4 Piscataquis railroad,
New Brunswick & Canada, and st. John &
Maine railways narrowed their gauge, to the
standard gauge of four feet eight inches and
