leaving here about 6 p. m. We believe
the increased passenger trade would JUS
tify this addition to the present facili-

Lancaster, the convenience of jurors and
witnesses and every public accommoda-
tion would be promoted.

Life Senator's,

The New York Iadepcndcnt, which de-
sires it to be understood that it, and not
the Tribune, started the proposition to
make life senators out of the ex-presi-
dents, has been trying to feel the pulse of
popular opinion Oh the subject. OF a
dozen and a half letters on the subject
published from its leading contributors,
mostly presidents and divines, scarcely a
third OF them give it an unhesitating
and unqualified approval. Of those who
oppose it some give such weighty reasons
in objection as are not met by the pro-
jectOrs nor answered by those favoring
the proposition.
One Of these clearly is to be found in
the constitutional provision, which de-
clares that no states equality Of repre-
sentation in the Senate shall he impaired
without its consent. As soon as Grant
and Hayes would get in, their states would
in reality each have three senators, for
rs Senator Wallace in his letter to the
IdcpnlcNt says: An ex-preSident
born in and chosen from Delaware or
Rhode Island could not vote against his
convictions, seen from the standpoint of
his own state. and thus Delaware or
Rhode Island would have three senator's,
Pennsylvania OF New York but two.''
President Bartlett, of Dartmouth COL
lege, thinks that the presidentialoffice
is or should be remarkable education
in wisdom, craftsmanship and broad ia
triotism, Of which the nation might well
reap the permanent benefit and cites
. the seventeen closing years of John
Quincy Adams's life, spent in the House
of Representatives, generally recognized
as by far the most brilliant and noble
portion of his long public career" All
of which only proves that if the presi-
dency fits one who serves in it accepta-
bly, for future public service, his state
can with credit to itself and in accord
ancc with high precedent, summon its
citizen ex-presidcnt into the House or
Senate. There is nothing improper in
this. On the other hand If the presi-
Dental Office shall not have served as
an education in wisdom, statesman
ship and broad patriotism,'' the earlier
the eex-presidents are retired from public
position the better.

A MYSTERIOUS COMMUNICATION. - Our
genial friend of the Phillips Phonograph
sends us by mail . voluminous bundle OF
manuscript which we are unable to read.
The outside is covered all over with hero
syphics. The only legible words are: "For
Tie Local Editor of the Kennebec Journal
Augusta, Maine, from o. NJ. Moore" We
have handed the bundle to experts who make
speciality of de.iphering difficult chlrog-
raphy, but with no satisfactory results.
They differ wildly in their Interpretation.
Some unhesitatingly assert that it is the
original copy of the Philip editorial on the
forged Chinese letter; others allege that 1t Is
IN article on the Constitutional amendment
relating to the election of Governor BY piu-
nlity; while not few insist that it is MOTH
ing but the incoherent rawlings of lunatic-
sjumble of pen scratches without sense.
Poor o. NJ. Moore! The arduous labors OF
editing paper the size of . Japsnese napkin
have evidently turned his brain. We ad'
wise the proprietor of our valued exchange
ahe can collect money enough on his paper
. come to Augusta and put himself for a few
aonths under the fostering care of DIR. Har'

Baptist Church and Other Property
Destroyed.
MACHIAs, December 3. The Baptist church
at Harrington was burned Wednesday. Fire
caught on the roof, from cinders from some

Disastrous Fire at Pepperell Mill.
BIDDEFoRD, December 8. This evening
about 6 O'Clock, one of the most disastrous
fires that has visited this city for many years
broke out in the large cotton house Of Pep
perell Manufacturing Co., which is connected
with the cloth hall. The company had been
storing cotton here for several days and the
building contained 500 bales, which will
probably be total loss. 1t was with great
difficulty that the other portion Of the build
ing was saved, and also No. mill, as at the
time the steamers arrived corpices of the
mill were on fire for forty feet and the win
dow sashes were also ablaze. Had it not
been for their prompt and effective work
three-quarters of the mills would have been
burned, as the hydrants were of comparative
lv little use. Loss on cotton will reach
from $4,000 to $4,000; upon building,
81, 900 to $1,000. 1t is understood to be in
sured Cause unknown, but when discovered
the fire was over forty feet from the steam
pipes.
