But few young men in the order
have made greater advancement

eeded Bro Weatherhy MS Grand Pa

stances, he possesses sterling quail
ties of mind and heart, which render

sentatives Having fine personal
appearance, modest and unassuming
ia disposition, ye. earnest, active
and intelligent; full OF zeal and

DISTRESSING ACClDENT.-Mo Monday
afternoon John Callahan, residing in
the town of Gultord, was seriously
If not fatally injured by accideutly
thrustiug stake into his body,
while sliding from n partly loaded
rack OF hay. 1t seems that Mr.. CaIIa-
han had been engaged in loading the
hay on the rack, at each corner of
which was affixed o long, sharp,
pointed stake. While thus engaged,
and before the load had been com
peted, it became necessary for Mr..
Callahan to get off the rack, and in
stead of jumping off the side of the
load, he slid down one roruer of the
rack, running the point Of the stake
tuli six inches into the cavity OF the
pelvis, and completely impaIng him,
Ills cries Of distress were heard by
an employe on the farm who rushed
to his assistance. The man was un-
able to raise Mr.. Callahan from the
stake, and not until he had summon
Ell neighboI to help him, was the
sati'erer relieved from his dist! essiug
position. - Gute4a Gu@otte.

THE HERALD.
In the Proceedings OF the County

In the Proceedings OF the County
BOARD OF Snperv isors will be found
n resolution offered by Mr.. Bronson
proposing that the county printing
be all given out to bidders under
sealed proposals. The report of he
standing committee on printing in
terprets Mr.. Bronson's resolution as
referring 20 the publication of tax
sales, unredeemed list and SHERIFF.
Z notices This is al error either Oh
the part of The printing committee
or MrBronson. The word PRINTING docs
not cover such publications and
there is no law that can interfere
with the letter Of M. BronsOn's
fes0IuIIOn or Ordinance. IL waa si
together more proper solution
than the one recommended and passed
As will in time bs discovered. Ever
: the publications of the tax and nn.
redeemed lists could be dispote cd Of
as safely on proposal rates as the
way they were done tbis year. At
the meeting of the Board last yesr
paper offered to publish these lists
at one.third the legal rates. The
board answered properly enough
that it had no power to make
such q contract. When the time OF
. publication came the Treasurer and
= Clerk each gave the list to a paper
making such bid but when psy
time came the paper making the
publication was paid the fuH rate,
though dcl'cscy forbid the Treasurer

would accommodate one fourth ofthe
readers who look for such publica-
ton, tba. the HERALD would. The
parties in whose interest this is done
used 10 beg and scratch to have the
Sherfl's notices distributed-all
wanted sop. Now it seems that
one publication twill meet the re-
9uIrements of law" If only the

Con nting the Republicans Out In
Maine

Or course everybody knoAs ia at
the Republicans carried Maine over
whelmingly But IL 10 a'so rpmem-
bered that by strange iatnuy the
Democrats have present control of
Maine. The other day tho country
was startled with the report tina the
''oanvassing hoard" were going to
count out enough Republicans to
give both branches of the legislature
20 the Democrats. Some intlmation
OF how It is to be done, and the ex-
element OYER il is told in the follow
ing dispatch
AUGUSTA, Me, Nov. 1.-THE excitement
over the expected counting out Of the Repub.
lean Legislative returns is high here 10 day.
BY the early trains, leading Republicans ar
rived from all parts of the State. The ho-
tells are all crowded. Hon. Daniel +. Davis,
Governor elect, and Governors Hannibal
Hamlim, Tseral Washburn, Lot. M. Morril.
and p. Morrill, and Sidney Perham are pres
eat. Hon. Nathan Webb, ex- United States
District Attorney is here az counsel. FIX.
Governors Chamberlain and Coburn have
telegrapbed that they will come. Ssnator
Blaine is hOre and Mrs Reed and Lindsey, of
the House. The members Of the Renubii
can State Committee for the current wear
and the committee Tor the next year are ia
town, IN addition TO u large number Of SeaI-
tors aud Representatives elect whose seats
are threatened. The Governor and council
arrived during The day and assembled in the
the state House al 4 O'Clock. Ii had been
given out generally through the State thar
they would proceed TO open the official re-
turns.
e AT Z O'Clock . committee OF one from each
comfy waited upon the Governor, who was
unable 10 see them as there would be no ses.
sion Of the Governors counsel this afternoon.
A Sub Committee Of three was then appoint
cd. After a lengthy counsel aud after
talking with the Governor, they received an
assurance from the latter that the returns
would not be considered open ~ the sense Of
allowing aoy amendment or corr ection under
the statute until the committee OF the Coun-
Gil OF Election should report the results of
their consultation to the Governor and
Council, ard that there would be twenty
days from that tune toe correction. II is
rumored that the town of KilleSy IS 10 be
thrown out because, as alledged, two notices
instead Of three were printed. The throw
ing out would change the result in YorE Co.
by throwing out three Republicans and
electing three Democratic Senator'S.
A similar case is reported in the city of
Auburn, where il is alledged that the notice
OF election was posted six days only instead
Of seven. IL this is thrown out II win change
che vote in Andrescogin county. Similar
changes on alledged grounds will change the
figures in the State Senate and give the
Democrats and GreenbackkrS nineteen Sena-
tors and the Republicans twelve. The act
nal votes gives the Republicans nineteen
Senators and all others twelve.
