Catholic Intolerance.

The Somerset Reporter says that some time
last fall young Frenchman of Skowhegan,
who had attended the Catholic church, took it
into his head that he ought to take to himself a
wife. He had no trouble in finding maiden
who was willing and the twain made quick
steps toward the residence of Father Halde in
Waterville that they might be made one. Now
Father Halde had little bill against our
young man for pew rent and he added it to the
usual marriage fee and gave the sum total as
the cost Of tying the knot. The sum was so
large that two instead of one left the Fathers
presence. They returned to Skowhegan and
there found clergyman who was willing to
tie the knot for very moderate sum. They
were accordingly united Being regular
church goer getting married did not deter him
from his usual custom. His presence at the
church grieved Father Halde very much and
he ordered him to leave several times The
young man was slayer however and he stuck.
AT each service the Father tried some new
method to unseat the young Bonaparte, but all
to no purpose. He recently visited His Homer,
Judge Dascomb, for a warrant to arrest what
he thought was a disturber of divine wor-
ship. The Judge said when the young man
made disturbance he would make war rant,
but if his only disturbance was attending
church he could not. Judge Fuller conceded
with these views and at the urgent request
visited the church to see for himself who was
making the trouble. He became convinced
that there was no trouble unless Father Halde
made it which he was in fair way of doing
Two of the Skowhegan policemen visited the
church by request and they were of the same
opinion. The ground that Father Halde takes
is that no one has any right to attend his
meeting unless he helps pay the expenses. He
at one service recently refused to say mass un-
less the person he objected to went out. He
didn't go however and he thought better of the
matter after little. The young man who has
called down the wrath of his spiritual adviser
has the sympathy of nearly the whole society
there. The trouble has had the effect to cause
a serious split in the society.

Fire at Hon. j. T. McCobb's

About a. M yesterday, Mr. William 7. Sar-
gent, who resides on Spring street, saw flames
issuing from the ell of the house occupied by
Hon. j. L. McCobb in the Park street block.
He stepped across to the house of Falmouth
steamer No. 4, and the men at once proceeded
to the spot No alarm was rung in, but hose
attached to a hydrant furnished sufficient wa
ter to subdue the flames. The roof of the ell
was badly burned and the sides charred. The
firemen say the fire must have burned a long
time. The ell is used for woodshed and had
large quantity of wood piled therein. The
firemen found the origin of the fire in pile on
the backside, nearest Mr.. Bakers house, and
after taking off the top sticks quantity of red
hot wood Goals were found underneath.
The family cannot understand how any fire
could originate in the ell No ashes or means
to make fire are deposited there, neither was
there any saw-dust. The fireman who first
raked over the wood pile seemed to think that
some scoundrel had attempted to set fire to the
building, concealing himself in the space
between the ell of the house and Mr.. Bakers
next door. But there must be mistake else
there would have been a hole burned through
the side of the ell. If the fire had broken out
during the night the consequences would pro-
baby have been serious

been sold in Boston the last week for prices
ranging from $40 to $14 per share on a par
value of ten dollars. The shaft is now 100 feet

SUGAR.
A Change in the Custom Regulation for
Sugar.

Mr.. Aver, special agent of the Treasury
Department, rs in the city to see about the
effect OF a new regulation of the Customs
Department in reference to the tare on
hogshead sugars 1t had been customary I'M
til year ago. at all the ports of entry, to allow
schedule tare of 12a per cent for all hogshead
sugars imported at these ports. The result
was that the government sustained loss, and
sugar importers at New York for instance,
complained that there was great discrepancy
in the returns by Boston importers. There
was greater field for fraud on the part of
men who had little to lose, and merchants of
standing and position suffered much thereby
while the COVER nment sustained losses
During the past year the rule has been to
take the actual tare of the sugar and the plan
has worked admirably, both for the government
and merchants. The rule has resulted in an
actual saving to the government, in the port
OF New York alone, of about a quarter of
million dollars, besides furnishing employment
to coopers who are on hand to do the eoopering
when the sugars are emptied from the hogs
heads, and after they have been weighed. In
Portland the rule has worked as satisfactorily
as elsewhere.
