Manchester Locals.

The campaign has begun. The first shot
has been fired. The first stronghold of the
enemy has been invested Tuesday evening
of last week the town of Manchester was the
scene of a meeting long to be remembered
by the exuberant and joyous grccnbackers of
Manchester. The first information that the
good people Of our town got of this meeting
was in dusty yellow bill announcing that
free lecture would be given at Manchester
Forks, on Tuesday evening. by DIR. b. f.
Lancaster and others" Now as usual the
greenbackers played the coward, instead of
coming out boldly and squarely with the an
nouncement that II grecnback meeting was to
be hcld they did not SO much as hint that
the meeting was of rag baby origin. W. L.
Wilder was master of ceremonies. ii. &.
Staples. another cffulgent grccnbacker, was
bookkeeper of the concern. DIR. Il. +.
Lancaster was then brought forward, and at
ter delivering his customary amount of twad-
die and clack about hard times, soft money,
and the evils of the currency, quietly subsid-
ed. The next candidate for appreciation was
the distinguished physician, doctor, and phar-
macist known AZ Crooker, Of Augusta, and
well known in the annals of grccnbackism as
a man who can give whoop like wild In
dian, and dance like Sioux warrior. The
charming NJ ID. did not belle his reputation he
can still dance as well as ever, and when
necessary can give whoop which would
shame whole war party of savages. Ac-
cording to an enthusiastic greenhacker the
DR.. has new trick of walking limber-legged
when enivening his whoop. Now if our
friend will pluck somebody's rooster, get a
generous supply of red ochre, and use these
articles judiciously about his person, we
think that Maine will then surely go for soft
money next Fall. All things must have an
end so did this greenback gathering of fifty
men and boys very many boys) who doubt
less went to their several homes. only to
dream of ragbabies, soft money and stentor-
ian war whoops.

IOWA.
The Crops.

BURLINGTON, May Is. Crop reports from
over 100 points in Iowa show an increased
acreage of wheat and corn and that both
crops are in excellent condition. Season has
been dry, which has enabled farmers to pillow
lands that are not tilablc ina wet season. In
a few localities the drouth has done some
damage, but as II rule the recent rains came
in time to leave the crops in good shape, but
in most sections more rain is needed within a
week or ten days to keep the crops in good
condition. Oats and hay will fall short of
the yield of last year, owing to decreased
acreage of oats sown and the dry season
Other crops promise good yield.

A STRANGE STORY.


1t will be recolected that in the latter part
of 1873 or early in 1874, James A. Lowell
was convicted in Lewiston of numbering his
wife, Lizzie Lowell. The skeleton of a wo-
man was found in the woods in a lonely
place on the Switzerland road. and apparent
ly pretty fully identified at the time as that
of Mrs. Lowell. The defence was that Mrs
Lowell had not been murdered at all, but had
run of with circus man, and there was
some testimony tending to prove it, which
however, the jury did not believe. Lowell
was sentenced to be hung. but his sentence
was subsequently committed to imprisonment
for life. and he is now in the State prison.
In 1858 David Stevens was committed To
the prison from Oxford County for bigamy
While there he made inquiries for man nam
ed Lowell among the convicts, and finally
learned the circumstances of the Lowell case
He then made the following remarkable state
ment He SAYS that in 1873 he was at Sagi-
nav, Michigan, and there became acquainted
with man and wife named Spaulding. He
learned that the woman came from Maine
and that she was supposed TO have another
husband there. Her name was Lizzie lie
saw these people occasionally, at different
places for number of years. In 1876 he
met them at beer garden in Western city,
he called her Liz Lowell" and told her she
had better go to her husband down in the
Maine State prison, for she couldn't stay with
him any longer. She acknowledged being
"Liz Lowell, and, while taking Il very live
ly part in the quarrel, denied nothing said by
Spauding. The woman seen by Stevens i
described by him, and his description tallics
exactly with that of Mrs. Lowell. He tells n
perfectly straight story, and gives names of
Western people who he says knows the
Spauldings and who can confirm all he SAYS
on other points. Stevens term expires in IL
short time, so that he can hardly be putting
up job unless for Lowclls benefit This
may he, but seems hardly likely. in view of
the fact that its truth or falsity can be deter
mined very soon by the information he has
given OF course. no one will believe Ste
vens until he has been corroborated, but his
story is remarkable one and deserves in
vestigation.
