A Davis Club was formed at Woodford's
Thursday evening. J. N. Reed called the
meeting to order f. E. G. Robbins was chos-
en- temporary chairman, and A. j. Wildes
temporary Sec'y. A committee, chosen for the
purpose, reported the following as permanent
organization:
President-F. E. G. Robbins.
Vice Presidents-A. j. Wildes, F. II. Morse,
E. NJ Jacobs, d. D. Chenery, A. P. Chapman,
E. B. Sargent.
Secretary-Frank A. Elwell.
Treasurer-F. FL. Thompson.
The Club numbers nearly 100 members, and
another of about the same size will soon be
formed at Morrill's Corner. After the organi
cation of the Club had been effected, Hon. w.
f. Lunt addressed the Club in very able man
ner on the financial question and the false is
sues raised by the Democratic party.
The above report was sent in for yesterday
issue, but, by accident failed to reach this Of
flee in time for publication.

Gen. Grosvenor addressed large audience
at Cumberland Mills Thursday evening. The
speech was closely listened to throughout, ana
elected frequent applause. The financial IS
sues of the day were ably presented, and the
past and present attitude of the Democratic
party was shown up in clear and convincing
manner Col. Dow followed Gen. Grosvenor
in brief speech, in which the anlmus OIL the
Democratic Greenback coalition was fairly ex-
planned, and the position of two Of its candl-
dates for county officers was illustrated by a
very forcible smile.
The Argus declaration of the wholesale de-
sertion of the Republicans to the coalition Ill
this town, is, ''not to put too fine point upon
it" a pure fiction.

Blanton Duncan in Bath.

BATH, aug. 10.
Last evening in Columbian Hall an audi
ence which sparsely filled the floor, assembled
to hear Col. Blanton Duncan discourse upon
the political situation. The chiyalrous repre-
sentative of the Sunny South was faultlessly
attired in black broadcloth, white cravat,
shining boots, with flowing locks draped care
lessly over his noble brow, while shirt studs
and watch chain of solid gold gave to him the
appearance of a bloated bondholder. AS a
representative of down trodden, starving labor
he was not a>success.
The Colonel was introduced by Mr.. John A.
Lord, and read a Speech which proved fiery
onslaught upon the Bourbon democracy of the
South, the published record of whose political
outrages was more than verified by the reality
of their criminal bulldozing. At this point
several Democrats arose and went out, unable
to hear the truth even from " V. The
speaker satirically observed he would wait if
more Republicans desired to withdraw, when
to his surprise about fifty more Democrats
sought egress Thinking by some means he
must keep his diminishing audience the gentle
man told the funny story of the man who fed
his parasite on rotten oysters while he after
wards RECALLED himself upon first class bivalves.
This chaste and almost worn out story was re-
ceived with feeble applause. A TRADE against
Mr. Blaine followed with parade of his SYM
pathy for the distressed labor and the asser-
ton that the philanthropic labor earning, self
renouncing, gold abhoring verdant 'vertebrates
of the State and country alone were worthy to
fill the lucrative positions in the gift of the
people.
About this time the Continental Band prac-
ticing in its rooms adjoining the hall, struck
up Hail Columbia, and large portion of those
who had remained to listen to the words of
wisdom stampeded down the stair way to find
out from whence came the martial strains.
This morning the Democrats are tearing
their hair and denouncing their Greenback
triotic Sagadahoc County rebel to teach them
politics, some even going so far as to claim that
Col. Duncan was brought hither by the Repub-
lican County Committee.

DEERING GREENBACKERS.
The Modern Moses Seeks the Bullrushes.

Thursday night a Greenback caucus was
held at Deering 1t was generally understood
that Mr.. Samuel Jewett would be the fortu-
nate nominee for Representative. When the
hour arrived the Democrats packed the caucus
and Mr.. Freeman Gordon, grain dealer on
Green street, was the lucky nominee. Mr.. Cor
don, we understand, is Democrat; that is, he
is Democrat with just enough Greenback
about him to try and catch the Greenback vote;
but, if elected, will be devoted to carrying out
the suggestions of his Democratic friends. Mr..
Jewett, apart from his Greenback view, is a
man of force and ability, and it is not probable
his friends will tamely submit to such dietar
ton as that forced upon them by outside Dem
ocrats.
1t is also understood that Mr. Moses G. Dow,
the Greenback candidate for County Treas
urer, has decided to declare in favor of Mr..
Joshua Davis, another Democrat. Mr.. Dow
does not think the Office one for which he is
particularly adapted, OF much to his taste, and
it is understood, he can do better by declining
it in favor of gentleman who, the Democrats
think, will draw more votes. 1t is broadly
limited that when the trade was made between
the Democratic and Greenbacker committees as
to the county offices, it was understood by the
Democrats that Mr.. Dow would be
the nominee for this office which the
Democrats generously relinquished to the
Greenbackers as make weight for Sc
curing the higher-toned offices for the
Democratic party. The Democrats supposed
Mr. Dow would decline the nomination some
time after receiving it, and then they could
manage to have it rendered to Mr.. Davis, a
Democrat, without exciting the Greenbackers
and giving them to understand they had been
euchered out of one Office which rightfully be-
longed to them.

That Mountain Excursion.

Boston, Aug. IL.
After spending few weeks in Maine it was
nv good fortune to be invited to join Mr.. Geo.
r. Daviss party Saturday for trip to Mt.
Washington, intending to spend Saturday
night at the Summit House. Owing to the
wires being down, the telegram was not re-
ceived at Fabyan's in time and the train had
gone when we arrived, and of course we all
felt disappointed. But we were soon comfort
ably quartered at the Fabyan House, and we
were disposed to make the best OF thingsw,as
every one should do when travelling The
evening spent in the pleasant parlors, listening
to the music of fine band proved one Of the
pleasantest features of delightful trip; Sun
day morning special train was furnished to
take us up the mountain, and the clear air rem
dered the ride up delightful The view was
highly enjoyed by all present. A fine sunrise
was enjoyed ON Monday morning. and after an
early breakfast and the reluctant farewell OF
the iandlady, Mrs. Dodge, who did SO much for
our comfort, retook the seven O'Clock train for
Portland, arriving in time for the Western
bound train, when the party separated, salts,
fed that they had enjoyed a most delightful
excursion. M. j. r.

A New Enterprise.

A novel and important manufacturing BUSH
ness is about to be established here in Maine.
substantial company has been formed in
this city for manufacturing a large variety of
articles from wood and other kinds of pulp, by
new, yet thoroughly tested process. The
name adopted by this company is the Presump-
scot Pulp Manufacturing Co., the active men,
bers of which are S. G. Andrews, Esq, of this
city, and Mr.. Jefferson Chase, the well-known
mechanical and hydraulic engineer of the
Chase Turbine Manufacturing Co. OF Orange,
Mass. Mr.. Chase is the inventor and patentee
of various machines and devices to be used in
gether with others Of equal peculiar value and
importance, which have also been secured by
this company, thus forming an exceeding val
liable combination, which when in complete
operation seems destined to work great revo-
ton in many of the present lines of business
and trade. This company have already secured
from Mr.. John Lindsey, the large and valua-
BILE water-power at North Gorham, Me-, known
as Great Falls, and they will proceed at once
with the necessary construction of mills, and
put the same in operation. By this process are
to be made barrels, kegs, tubs pals, boxes,
mouldings, &C., &C., being compressed solid or
whole, from the pulp, producing articles OF I'M
equaled strength and utility, and impervlous
to air, water, oil, or acids of any kind, and
when required, fire-proof as WE'LL utilizing

The Back Bay Nuisance.

A large number of gentlemen testified before
the committee yesterday. The general testi-
mony was similar to that already given.
L. T. Chase, corner of Hemlock and Cherry
streets, gave information of nuisance in the
eastern part of the Basin. 1t constituted bog
where flags grew, and the water was OF a
greenish color. Westerly winds blew strong
odor of decaying vegetable matter from this
bog over the adjoining neighborhood. lie
thought it would be good plan to construct
sewer from the easterly side of Congress street,
near the railroad crossing, to Fore river.
Mr. Harper of Mechanic street said that he
had taken particular notice that the smells
were worse at low tide, and consequently came
from the sewerage on the flats The nuisance
had been great in his neighborhood, and his
children had been sick, as his physician be-
lieved from the poisoned air.
A gentleman who testified before the COM
mittee yesterday, went out to the mill pond at
low tide last evening, and says that the sight
was altogether the most offensive, disgusting
and sickening of anything he ever expert
enced.
DR.. French suggested the use of odorless
excavating apparatus instead OF night-soll
carts. This should be made an ordinance and
enforced The result would be two-fold. The
nostrils of the public would not be offended
and the expense would soon drive all to having
water-closets put in their houses. He also sug-
gested that no drains be allowed to empty else
where than into sewer

F. F. Hale has placed ON exhibition i'll his
gallery, No. Free street, large and spirited
Maine view by Stanwood, entitled, Morning
after the Squall," the principal feature IN
which is large ship whose upper spars have
been carried away, while her sails hang III
tatters from the yards. Near by is a bark
which, attracted by her signals Of distress, is
bearing down to her relief, and the scene is
further enlivened by two boats filled by the
crew and passengers of the wreck Over all is
a mass of clouds tinged with yellow and red by
the first rays of the morning sun. The picture
is notable for the knowledge of nautical draw
ing it exhi bits, the painter having been sea-
man by profession and gained much knowledge
by practical observation. The coloring
Throughout is strong and vigorous, and, to
certain extent, true to nature. Although open
in one respects to criticism this picture is full
of promise and gives undoubted evid ence OF a
degree of artistic skill which only needs cul-
ture and practice for its successful develope-

Heavy Tornado at Oldtown.

A heavy shower, amounting to a tornado,
passed over Oldtown Thursday afternoon at
quarter past three during which the rain fell
in torrents, and high wind prevailed, which
did much damage The batteau shop of G
E. Carlton was entirely demolished, and the
boat shop of William Wallace on the opposite
side of the road was badly damaged Across
the river in Milford, the wind played sad
havoc with immense piles of boards belonging
to NJ P. Wadleigh and Geo. F. Dillingham;,
Esqs., taking up the boards forty or fifty feet
in the air, blowing them all over the town and
lodging them in the trees in the orchards
Some boards were blown by the force OF the
wind entirely through barn; and the lumber
was mixed up in inextricable confusion. Mr.
Wadleigh estimates the damage at not less
than five hundred dollars, as much of the lum-
Der is broken up and ruined. From Oldtown
it looked as if lumber had been rained down
on the other side of the river. Many trees had
large branches broken from them. 1t was the
most severe storm, though brief in duration,
that has visited Oldtown for years.
