The dwelling house of f. A. Chase of Etna.
was burned last Friday afternoon, but the fur

insured.
1t will be remembered that dispatch was
sent over the country from New York few
days ago, stating that Confederate money was
in demand in England, and that parties were
buying it up to send to brokers there. No ex-
of the dispatch was seen in Bangor, as lady
who possesses $500 in Confederate bills came
all the way from the town of Brooksville to
Bangor in the firm expectation that she should
be able to sell the bills and realize a handsome
pile of greenbacks from the sale. She offered
them for sale at various places in the city, but
OF course could get only their worth in old pa
per for them, and was much disappointed.

The Wing says lad named Stamford, liv-

eyebrows and eye-lids, but there is nothing
which indicates the presence of eye-balls, OF
anything in the nature of eye-balls. Doctors
who have seen this boy say that he has nothing
whatever in the nature of an eye organism
There are slight openings between the ids but
they are apparently not more than quarter
and perhaps not more than an eighth as long
as they would be for the natural eyes. He dis
plays much natural capacity for music.

What Others Think of the Glen House.
An appreciative correspondent of the Phila-
delpha North Americon prints the following
about the Glen House:
Only one of the many beautiful spots that
nave been most conspicuous in all recollections
OF the White Mountains, remains unwatered
ny the escaping steam of the locomotive. The
Glen House, at the base of Mount Washington,
must still be reached by the old-fashioned
COACH either by nine mile ride from Gorham
or one more beautiful of fifteen miles from
Glen station, which is just above North Con-
way, on the Portland & Ogdensburg. Mount
Washington itself was long ago invaded to its
very summit from the opposite side, by the al
most vertical track up and down which creep
the trains of that wonderful achievem ent-the
Mount Washington Railway. l suppose the
Glen House will have to succumb and be-
come-as have its rivals-a depot for the
tourist who travels only by rail But it is still
everything for which White Mountain hotels
used to be famous dramatically situated, ex-
qulsltely clean, delightfully."- kept and only
awakened into excitement by the occasional
arrival of stage-coach from the distant rail-
road, or from the summit of the mountain I'M
der the shadow of which it lies. L hope the
ran VIII keep away from the Glen for little
Whlle, Tor ii people who come to these noun
talns are to lose the opportunity of such stage
ride, they are to be deprived of an experience
Not In the matter of scenery for the veriest
conservative must admit that the beauties UNI
folded to us now are tenfold greater than we
ever knew when our paths through gorges and
valleys lay at the water level instead of half
way up the mountain side but if for nothing
else, IN learning how slowly six horses can be
manGuvred with show of speed over a given

THE ELECTION IN OHIO.

The meagre returns from the Ohio cleo
ton at hand at the present writing, indicate
the election of Foster for governor of that
State by a considerable majority. The expo
rience of the past years leads US to place Int
tie reliance upon first reports, though the
majority claimed by the Republicans is so
large that there is little hope that it can be
overcome by later returns. There are no
reports whatever, when we write this. as to
the complexion of the legislature, though
there is little doubt but it will be Democratic
on joint ballot, especial effort in that d.
rection having been made by the Democratic
majority.
We confess to disappointment at the re-
suit. We had hoped that the people OF
Ohio would have testified their esteem fol-
two gallant soldiers by choosing them to
places of honor and trust. They have de-
cided, however, that q man who battled fol
the Union has no claim whatever on the
country, but that scheming politicians who
stayed at home during the war to prey upon
the misfortunes of the wives and children OF
the soldiers, are to receive all heshonors and
enoluments of office. If the soldiers can
endure this treatment, we have no protest to
utter.
The Greenbaokers have, by their conduct
in the Ohio campaign, thrown away their
last chance for obtaining a foothold in the
politics of the country. By uniting with the
- kIox. -,
on every essential principle, they could have
elected Gen. Ewing, one of the chief pro-
moters of the ideas they entertain. But
with q recklessness of results akin to idiocy,
they persisted in running an independent
ticket, in the face of inevitable defeat, and
have thus sacrificed their last hope.
The returns received TO- day will no doubt
rsdlce the claimed majority for the Repub-
lican ticket.

COMPOUNDING FELONTES.

We are indebted to Gov. Pillsbury's de-
voted champion, the Minneapolis Pioneer
Press, for the following interesting infor-
nation:
It is not generally known that there are no
less than six county treasurers in this State
who are known to the State authorities to have
been guilty of crookedness. All their cases
are under the gubernatorial advisement, and
under the keen surveillance of Gov Pillsbury
and Public Examiner Knox. They have each
and all been warned and have been
furnished with direct and explicit instructions
by the public examiner, and have
been officially notified that they are merely re-
tanned in their positions on probation. 1t de-
ponds entirely upon themselves whether or not
they will be proceeded against with criminal
prosecutions in the courts by their faithful
performance of their promises to reform and
their strict compliance with the instructions
given them. In other words, they are tremb>
ling in the balance. For obvious reasons their
names are withheld for the present.
It seems the Governors desire for a third
term induces him to treat offenders very
leniently, but it is certainly indiscreet in his
organ to announce that felonles are being
compounded, or likely to be, by the chief
officer of the State. These men are
VIGOROUSLY guilty, according to the
organ, but it remains to be seen whether they
will fix things up with the Governor and
escape publicity and punishna ent altcgether.
Instead of making public example OF crimi-
nal conduct, the Governor is Offering a
premium for rascality by advertising that
guilty officials can come up and 'Ecompro-
mise.''
His anxiety for third term has evidently
made him mad

man from risking his own life in such
foolhardy manner, but the public can render
such exhibitions Improbable, and when that
is done they wilisoon cease.
PTLLSBURY rs, THE EARMERS.

We have been expecting to see the Pills
bury organs come out with articles denying
that the Governor is member of the Mill
er's Association and declaring that he has
nothing to do with the wheat trade in any
manner. The Tribune, however announces
that he is engaged in milling with his broth
er and two nephews. We simply desire, at
this time, to make record of the admis-
sion.
It was because Gov. Pillsbury's business
interests made him antagonistic to the farm
ers that he vetoed the Campbell bill and
signed the Stacy bill last winter. The Camp
bell bill forbid the use of the swindling brass
kettle altogether, making the half bushel the
standard. The Stacy bill was gotten up
as counter irritant. It not only
fastened the swindling brass kettle
on the farmers, but attached a device making
it possible to cheat in the grade with greater
ease and certainty than with the naked ket
tie. Gov. Pillsbury, in the executive chair,
and Senator Charley Pillsbury, his nephew
and partner in the milling business, in the
legislature, forced the Stacy bill through
after the Campbell bill had passed.
OF course, with the two bills before him the
Governor Of the Millers' Association signeo
the one which was hostile to the farmers
and favorable to the wheat ring. ~.
The millers and wheat ring have owned
the Governor of Minnesota for four years,
and for fav0rs extended the farmers, they
ask to have a third term. Every farmer
who votes for Plllsbury votes money out O.
his own pocket.

DUNNELL is a Republican member of Congress
from Minnesota, but he does not show much
interest in the pending election in that State.
BE has gone to Massachusetts, to help Long
against Butler, instead of staying at home to
stump for Pillshury, the candidate OF his party
for governor. There are many people in Min
nesota as we'll "a elsewhere who don't believe
in third-term nominations.-St. Louis RepubE-
can.
The Republican must look elsewhere than
to anti third .termisn for Dunnell's indiffer
ence to Pillsbury's success, as that gentleman
is now serving his fifth term in Congress and
setting up the pins for sixth. The truth
is Dunnell had a,favorite candidate for hon
ors at the hands of the Republican State
convention, but Pillsbury, Pussy ct al. ,
after promising him their support, sold him
out most shamelessly. Mark always sticks
to his friends as long as they stand by him,
but he doesn't banker after peridy such as
Pillsbury's.

The Minneapolis Tribane AYERS, with
much vehemence, that Gov. Pillsbury has
been exceedingly attentive in the discharge
of his duties, and that he has given ell his
time to the public. The only evidence it
adduces is an alleged statement of the Gov
ernor's private secretary, that he (Pillsbury)
has been faithful in the discharge OF his
duties. 1t would be rather surprising if Fthe
Governors personal cabinet should not en-
dorse him, but the facts are nevertheless as
stated by the GLOBE. There are witnesses
by the score who can testify that absenteeism
from the executive Office has been the rule
with Gov. Pillsbury. There are witnesses by
the hundred, from all parts of the State to the
fact that when wanted for the purposes Of
public business he has been absent at Min
neapolis attending to his private business.
There has been very little of absenteeism of
an official character, but an immense amount
of a private character. And still Mr.. Pills
bury desires third term.
