SATURDAY, July D.
No trace has yet been discovered of Mr..
Lewis Libbey of Temple, who was reported
missing in the PRESS last week. Search for
him has been made without intermission, but
without success 1t is now generally believed
he has been murdered and the body mysteri-
ously concealed. 1t is also limited that circum-
stances have arisen that point to the perpetra-
tor of the foul crime. A reward OF $50 has
been offered for his recovery.
FOURTH OF JULY.
The glorious Fourth passed off very quietly
IN Farm1ngton-more so than in any former
year. Thanks are due, and are hereby ten
dered, to our young men, for the entire absence
of horn blowing, bell ringing, and lawless acts
the night previous, which are the disgrace of
many towns and villages.
While the main village in this town failed to
observe the day, our neighbors of North Far
mington made up for the lack. The several
Grange organizations in the county united
with North Pennington Grange, and the result
was grand good time. The exercises were
held in the grove near Fairbanks mills, and
| consisted of a picnic dinner, &C., in the fore
noon, and in the afternoon an address was de-
| livered by Hon. D. I'll. Thing, of Mt. Vernon,
Master of the State Grange. Music for the
| occasion was furnished by the West Farming
| tOH OAHU, also Dy dH eAcelleub cHolr.
! Rangeley, Temple and Weld also celebrated
| the day appropriately. III. L. Whitcomb, Esq
delivered the Grafton at the former place.

of labor. Mr.. Woodbury. will be greatly missed
here, by the school, the church, and many

until morning. Angel is tall, with nose Of
considerable prominence. and features which
ono would be likely to remember. He has spent
tho time very pleasantly on board. He has
never mentioned the embazzement once since
leaving Lisbon. and no one on the vessel has
talked 10 him OF his crime. He read good
share Of the time. and when not thus engaged
Frank says that he was detailed for his part in
arrcsting Angel by Gen. Sharing who Is the
Europe. He went to Lisbon with photographs
and minute description OF his man. and had
no trouble in getting h i'm. Tho Shooting Star
bon. Angel has kept a diary OF tho voyage
and on the 10th he closed 1t up. The bark was
ment in a happy strain of the passage.
He describes the Captain as Jolly
man. about to be married. and Il
sorry to part with him. and goes into the pc
cuiaritles Of the two mates and the steward.
1t reads like the journal OF passenger who.
weary OF foreign travel Is glad 10 bo at home
again. whose only anxiety IL to set foot on his
native shore. He will start for Chicago by way
OF Philadelphia on Monday.
At Lisbon Angel seems ~ have realized that

only be preJudcial to his case. and he s anx ious
| to proceed to Chicago at once He WIS not aware
when he went TO Portugal that the United States
had no extradition treaty with that country, and

arrest by the absence Of treaty stipulntions was
not pre- editated. He first went 10 Southamp-

dIctments Against them.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 22.-On Monday Judge
Billings sustained the view taken by the major
ity Of the Grand Jury. and ordered District At
tcrney Leonard to frame indictments In tho
cases IN which true bills had boon found. In
tho remaining cases now under investigation
tho Judge also ruled that they ought to be COM
pleted. The pressure OF the political cases.
however. induced tho Judge to adjourn tho
court until Monday. Feb. "a. The statements
presented by the jury to the court have
gone into tho secret records. II Is
no secret. however. that tho indictments
ordered by the Court are in the cases Of J. Mad
ison Wells and Dumas. Such information as
has come to the public ear respecting the Grand
Jury proceedings 1t should be said, has been
chiefly. " not entirely. from members in the in
terest OF the frightened officials NOtwitEsmnd-
ing tho orders OF Judge Billings. the public ap-
pear to believe that District Attorney Leonnrd
will find means to defeat tho Jury by delay.
This opinion seems to be shared by the wash
ingtou promoter OF the raid, who has tele-
graphed instructions. II any further delay is
imposed after Monday ncxt, to begin proceed
inEs against all the officials involved by AM
davits before n United States Commissioner.
This will force action. give tho evidence TO the
public. and compel the sending OF the cases to

danger that appropriation. Tho House will not
stand out against the defeat OF the army reor-
Ranizaton amendment which II put on and tho
Senate struck of. but It will insist upon the

allowing railroad companies to do general tel

tions that they cannot form combination that
will be In any sense detrimental to tho Western
