was upon State street, near the State House,
Mr. Edward Rice attempted to cross the
street, when he was struck by the pole of the
large carriage used AT the Insane Hospital.
He. was thrown down and the team passed
over him. When he was taken up and a
physician summoned, a confused wound was
found upon his foreleg and thigh. His head
was also scraped, the wheel striking it and
gancing off. He will recover, but it was n
very narrow escape. Mr.. Rice occupies the
tenement over ID. & ID. +. Moore's store.

AS there seems to be demand on the
part of the public to see Holmes pictures in
the evening, he has supplied the room with
gas fixtures, and will have the room ilumi-
mated each evening, beginning tonight :;
and the public are cordially invited to attend.
We hope those patient people on the
west side of Sewall street, between Green
and Court, who have entertained the idea that
the city intended to build a sidewalk there,
will Danish the delusion from their minds.
1t is curious that they should have ever
thought Of such luxury. Instead of side
walk, let the pedestrians on that portion of
the street carry lanterns, that light may be
thrown upon the dangerous places.

Ina leading editorial upon the campaign
in Pennsylvania, the New York Tribune
says: LAST year the Greenbackets cast
over $4,000 Notes.-The largest number
polled by that party at any time in any
State. The fact OF successful resumption
has struck the soft money organization
with the force Of solid shot, scattering 1t
into fragments. Some small remnant will
be rallied by the old demagogue leaders
thiSyear, in the hope that the Democrats
will be desperate enough next year to
trade with them for their support; but a
large majority OF the men who followed
Mason, Hughes and Devices in 1878 are
now adriit without leadership, and are
now disposed to join one Of the two old
parties, The Republicans have an oppor'
tunity, which they should not fail to
improve, to gain large accessions from this
class. They will find powerful support
for their arguments in the revived in
dustrles OF Pennsylvania. Every rolling
mill that long stood idle is now in full
activity, every furnace lately cold and
dead which is now sending up its pillar
Of FIRE by night and Of cloud by day, is a
resumption orator, proclaiming with IN.
answerable logic the truth Of Republican
financial principles. The Republican
leaders have only to emphasize this logic
and to show how amply the position Of
their party in the past has been justified
by events, and how surely honest money
is bringing restored national prosperity, to
win the large body Of honest voters who
were deluded into believing that tho Re-
sumption act caused the hard times.

"TuEtown is dead. It's business is dead. .
Thus writes correspondent OF the Bos'
ton Herald with regard to Wiscasset, a
town in Maine, owing more than it can
pay. 1t appears that along about 1867
this staid and quiet village, hayinga popu'
lation Of some two thousand, resolved to
embark in the construction OF railroad,
in the hope ofreviving trade and industry,
to the end that its lost population might
be regained, and this by borrowing money
The sanguine householders were easily
persuaded that between the railroad COM
pany and prosperity" they would never
have TO pay anything. Larger towns have
been begulled by the same plea, and
the good people Of Wiscasset should
not be blamed. Having once begun
to borrow money for the new railroad,
they were obliged to borrow more in
order to save the first investment. Then
they began to issue notes for matured in
terest, and to-day the town owes $50, S4l
with an assessed valuation Of $573,S90.
The tax rate last year, including highway
and school tax, was forty-seven aud eight
tenths mills on the dollar. No misman-
agement or waste OF the public funds has
been permitted. The prediCament in
which the village finds itself is the result
Of the seductive influence of public credit,
which the townships OF Maine never
should have received from the State. The
taxpayers OF Wiscasset now desire a
composition with their creditors, the
proposition being to pay fifty per cent.

An Agricultural Greed.

According to the Canada Farmer the
agriculturalists of Canada met in Convsn-
tion not long ago, and adopted for them
the following creed:
We believe in small farms and thorough
cultivation.
We believe that the soil loves to eat as
we'll as the owner.
We believe in going to the bottom OF
things, and therefore deep plowing and
enough of il. All the better ifit be a SUBJ
soil plow.
We believe in large crops which leave
land better than they found il, making both
the farm and farmer rich at one time.
We believe that every farm should own
. good farmer.
We believe that the fertilizer of any soil
is spirit of industry, enterprise and intel
ligence; without these, lime, gypsum and
euano will be Of little use.
We beliezs in good fences, good farm
houses, good orchards and good children
enough to gather the fruit.
We believe in ,clean kitchen, neat
wife, and clear concience.
We belieAe TO ask . mans advice is not
STOPPING, but OF much benefit
We believe that to keep place for ev-
rything and everything in its place, saves
many . step, and it is pretty sure to lead
to good tools and to keeping them in or
der.
We believe that kindness to stock, like
good shelter, is saving Of fodder.
We belieye tits good thing to keep an
eye on experiments and note all, good and
bad.
We believe that il is good rule to sell
grain when it is ready.

load, and will nominate men that il will
be pleasure TO support.
