There Is in our politics of to-day
only not to much partyism but by
long odds too much sectionalism
l never hear of a solid south but
with feelings of horror. It rings
in my ears like fire-bell at night.
A solid South suggests the idea Of
a solid North, In the name of all
that is sensible haven't we had
enough of sectional division, Sec
tional strife, sectional war, section
al desolation I appeal to you as
patriots, to set your faces sternly
against this whole business. If you
are not moved by the loftier cOnsid'
GRAFTON of patriotism, then l appeal
to you as southern men, not to al
low yourselves to be drawn sec
ond time into a second conflict. /
warn you that you will be beaten
the second time just as you were
the first.-[Ex- Gov Albert G..
Brown of Mississippi.

A man was testifying in Justice
Howe's court at Little Rock, the other
day, when loud peal of thunder and a
flash of lightning caused him to spring
from his seat. The Justice with IA
therly kind of protection, reaching over
and catching hold of the man, said :
.'Sit down, sir, sit down. You are in
my charge now. Don't be frightened,
I'll protect you" The man looked at
the Justice with an inexpressible ex-
preston, sat down in his chair and re-
sumed his statement.

death like a man. Some of the
party who were attemptinga res
cue got close to him, but seeing a
woman named Mrs. Emery just 60

shore than himself, he cried out :
"Go to her and save her. Never
mind me-" and was drowned before
any other help could be brought,
although the woman was saved.

THE EMPIRE
Mower and Reaper,

This machine has lately been introduced
into this section by us, and We invite the at
tention of farmers to the superior inertia
which entitle these machines to take the first
rank. A few of the superior points are
That the machine is geared on the main
axel, between the drive wheels, with ratchet
to each wheel, with a double geared spur
wheel and piniop. constructed so that the
teeth mash alternately and thus an even
pressure is kept up ON the cogs and q large
portion OF the noise and friction done away
with.
The machine has only four gears, instead of
six. as many of the standard machines have
and they are all inclosed in cast iron cases
thus protecting them from dirt aad dust and
preventing the large amount Of wear which
gears not protected are subject to. The
titing bar within easy reach Of the driver by
which the points of the guards can be raised
OF lowered to pass over rough places or boys.
1t is very light draft machine and when the
driver is in bis seat but very little weight
comes on the horses necks. The crank shaft
and pitman boxes are of bell metal and are
constructed with slit in the top and q set
screw by which all wear can be taken up and
the boxes kept tight. The pitman rod is of
steel. and the head where it connects with
the cutter bar is u inches in diameter, this
large wearing surface having been found
much more durable than the ordinary small
head. The frame is cast in one piece, and the
whole machine is arranged so as to give the
least wear aud friction, the lightest draft and
greatest durability. We challenge - trial
alongside any of the standard machines,
confident that the merits of the Empire will
better develop themselves in the field than
they will on paper.

bhlEF dlS1Ohx OF IAG Ec
FORTS MADE THE LAST % YEARS
TO ENFORCE THE PROHIBITORY
LIQUOR LAW, TOGETHER WITH
SOME RACTs AND STATEMENTS IN
CONNECTION WITH THE LATE
TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.
As considerable comment has been excited !,
judgment rendered and praise or blame, ac-
cording to individual views, bestowed upon
the actions of those who arc denOminated
''prime movers in the late temperance move
ment and as they are in possession of few
facts not generally known, at the earnest So
lcitaton of friends who are in doubt what to
believe, these facts, together with brief his
tory of the efforts made within their memory,
to enforce the Prohibatsry Liquor Law are
respectfully submitted.
This review is made to show the action of
the town authorities during these years and
to indicate how small were the chances of sue
cess had the whole burden of prosecution
rested upon them.
In the year 1856 warrant was sworn out
and the premises of Ira NJ. Clark who kept at
that time q hotel known as the Vermont
House was visited and searched, the resu,t
was evidence enough to warrant legal pro-
ceedings; he was accordingly arrested, where
upon remonstrance to the states at torney
was circulated and the signatures of one hun
dred and thirty men obtained, including the
names of the two town grand jurors and two
of the selectmen This remonstrance proved
most effectual stay of proceedings. A copy
of this relnonstrance with the signatures can
be seen on application to Mr.. A. p. Shaw.
Several attempts to enfo rec the law upon s.
p Badger were made both for drunkenness
and the illegal sala of Intoxicating drink. New.
err were the complaints able to produce sufd-
cient evidence TO convince Bradford jury Of
his guilt, at the county court, he was after
wards heavily fined, Three persons having
declared to Topsham officer that they had
good reason to believe and did believe tina
certain parties were keeping tor unlawful sale
drink, the premises of one Fin
igan, proprietor of the Trotter House, one
Jeffords. corner-grocer and the Vermont
House kept by r. w. Chamberlain were
resulting in the discovery of contra
band goods at Chamberlain's, and the certain
ty that the other parties had conveyed their
unlawful merchandise to secret hiding
place.
The three young men who were the com
plainants in this case, finding they were not
sustained let legal proceedings alone. An at
empt was made some nine years since to es
,ablish the fact that c. C. Doty beside doing
a legitimate business manufacturing medi
ines, kept alcohol for illegal sale, resulting ,
n a verdict of no cause for action. About the ,
anne time Finigan was again complained of,
convicted and fined for the illegal sale Of Z
trong drink, the complainant on this action
gas young Proctor. Through the determined

A dispatch from White River
Junction to the Boston Journal
says:
On Friday last, on compl amt
made by several of the citizens OF
White River Village to State At
tOrDey Davis, Fl. e. Harris, of the
White River Village Hotel. was ar
rested for violating the liquor law
and his stock of liquors seized.
Upon hearing of this case before
Justice button, conduc ted by the
State Attorney, Harris was fined
$50 and costs, and his liquors,
amounting to about 100 gallons Of
various kinds, were confiscated.
On the same day, on complaint of
several citizens of this place, Col. A.
j. Grover, hotel keeper, George
Scanned, bar keeper for Grover, FL.
G. Stevens and Elisha 8. Stevens,
saloon keepers, were arrested for
violation of the liquor law and all liq
uors in their possession seized. Up
on hearing before Justic button
Col. Grover and H. y. Stevens were
each fined $40 and costs, Geo. Scan
nell was fined 800 and costs and
Elisha Stevens fined $40 and costs.
Col, Grover appealed and was bail
ed in $50. Geo. Scannell appealed
and was bailed in 5000. The liq-
uors of 81. @. Stevens were confis-
Gated.
On the same day a complaint
was made by State Attorney Da-
Wis against each of the above par
ties for maintaining a nuisance, and
they were ordered under penalty
of $40 day each to close their
bars. This raid is probably but
the beginning of the work now pro-
posed to be accomplished in various
portions of Windsor county. On.

We publish the following article
because the parties whose names
are signed to it have had their acts
called in question in public print
and they insist upon their right t.
be heard. We do not, however, think
that it is called for as justiica-
tion on their part, or to promote
the cause in which they labor, as
the public judgement was long ago
satisfied in the matter. We do not
think there is any occasion for a
continued public controversy over
matters upon which the public are
already so we'll informed. And on
the other hand we cannot deny the
ladies their right to be heard, as
they are, and desire to be, fully re-
sponsble for what they write. - ED.

The First Railroad,

Just forty-nino years ago-.tho first
= passenger railroad IN Enslanu, inc
''Ip rzas ,p,nsned With great ceremony. 4
vear heforo a prize OF $500 had been
,,ffered for the best locomotive engine,
whicI had been won by Robert Stephen
snn,s Racket, upon which were subse-
nnentlY modelled the old grasshoppcr
engines of the Baltimore and OHIO
Railroad, their appearance being sus-
9estive of their name. E'ght locomo,,
live engines had been completed and
placed upon the line, and all had been
featcd with entire SUCCESS. To every,
engine was attached four passenger
carriages, each containing twenty. per-
sons. The first engine, the Northum..
brian, drew the most distinguished
sueet-the Duke OF Wellington, SIR
Robert Peel and other members OF the
Ministry. 1t had ono line of the double
track to itself The other seven loco.
motives, with their carriages, followed
each other on the other line. The. pro"
cession started from Liverpool at eleven
o'clock, with flags. music, fine weather
and great enthusiasm. Seventeen miles
from Liverpool they stopped to take
water, and in order to afford the Duke
of Wellington an opportunity of seeing
the procession, the soven locomotives
With their carriages, we're ordered to
pass slowly by, the Northumbrlan stand
ing on its track. Several gentlemen
had alightcd while the locomotives were
taking In water, and one of them, Mr.
Huskisson, Member of Parliament Tor
Liverpool, and an earnest supporter or
tho railroad cause, catching sight OF the
Duke Of Wellington, between whom
and himself there had been some politi-
cal coolness, ran eagerly across the
track to shake him by the hand. At
that moment the order WAS given for
the seven engines to move forward. Dir.
I1uskisson was bewildered. The Rocket,
which was the leading engine, struck
him while he was still in doubt where
to Zee. The wheels went over his leg
and thigh, and he expired that evening.
The accident cast a deep gloom over
the days festivity. The trip was con-
cluded, that people waiting along the
line might not be disappointed, but all
rejoicing and gayety. were at an end;
The next day the railway was opened
for passenger trafic, and carried l4o
persons from Liverpool to Manchester
ia two hours. The original calculations
of the construction had been based on
probable returns from heavy Inerchan-
disc etrahc-coai, cotton and iron. They
had formed 10 high expectations OF any
great emolument Tor transporting pas
sengers. But the railway was hardly
opened before an average Of 1900 per-
sons daily were willing to trust it with
their lives. In q few years it was found
that the enormous trafic was too heavy
for the original rails, and it became
necessary to relay the road at coneld-
cradle expense.
