4 Mystery Partially solved.

. "ystery Partially solved.
A little more than one year ago Gabriel
La Belle, an inmate of the Soldiers Home.
disappeared very mysteriously from that in
stltution, and under such circumstances that
led the inmates of the Home, as well as ei,i-
zens generally, to think that he had been
iouiiy dealt with. On the afternoon of his
disappearance he was down near a swami
about ohe-half a mile from the Home, and
that was the last ever seen or heard of him
oy any one so far as known. Although
strict search was made in every direction i,
was all to no purpose, and so his absence has
always been shrouded in mystery. Yesterday
afternoon the body of man was found in the
swamp referred to. which is supposed to be
the body of the missing man. Coroner Libby
was sent for but at such late hour that he
thought it useless to go out until this morn
ing. After his return we shall learn all the
iacts In the case. La Belle is reported to
have been man about 81 years of age, and
was strong muscular man.

Maine State Agricultural Society.
In its account of the State Fair the Lew
iston Journal gives the following sketch of
the Society:
The records of the Maine State Agricultu-
raj Society are in such condition of uncer-
tainty and obscurity, that they afford little or
no intelligence to person wishing to learn
of the early life of the Maine State Fair.
We read in one place that "a meeting was
held on the 10th inst" without month or
year being named; and again adjourned to
the eighteenth proximo," leaving us to form
our own conclusions whether December or
June, Il. G. or A. d., are meant. Whole
years in its life are blank. Secretary Dem
nison, since he assumed the scribe's port
folio, Gin 1881 has kept a complete record
OF the doings of the association. He has
also endeavored to penetrate the darkness
that covers the pages of the previous records,
but can dig out no fixed data and the child
hood of the Maine State Agricultural Society
will have to slumber on in oblivion, unless
the memory of some old inhabitant comes to
the rescue and brings forth fruit meet for the
historian.
THE CHARTER
under which the Society first was born, was
granted by the Maine legislature as far back
as 1887. DIR. w. b. Lapham of Augusta has
the original parchment in his possession. At
ter the society was incorporated. it don't seem
to have been particularly active in the mat
ter of holding shows. The first State Fair
that we learn of was held in Bangor, in 1852.
DR.. Ezekiel Holmes was then secretary. and
general man-in-charge of the Fair. During
the war no Fairs were held, and for space
Of several years the society was virtually out
of existence. In 1876, it was alleged the So
ciety had forfeited its charter. A petition,
headed by DIR. North of Augusta, was pre-
scented to the Legislature, and anew company
was incorporated. The society has always
been romadic in its habits. 1t never has
evinced disposition to keep its tent pitched
in one place for time long enough to give
its location any degree of permanence. From
Bangor it went to Portland, and from there
skipped to Augusta and back to Bangor
again. Then it turned mp again in the Forest
City. 1t anchored for one year in Lewiston,
and made money enough to clear off its
whole debt. and have handsome sum of
pocket money. The society went to Portland
again has succeeded in accommodating debt
on its shoulders, and it has come to Lewiston
to wipe it out. This is the eighteenth Fair
of the association.

Surprise is sometimes expressed that the
official returns from some towns are so long
IN reaching the office of the Secretary OF
State at Augusta. But the returns have come
this year more rapidly than usual. There
was as much anxiety 20 hear from Maine last
year as there was last week. Two hundred
and seven towns were reported Monday night
last week, against 209 a year ago. In 1879,
up to Wednesday night $40 towns were re-
ported; this year 4l9 towns were heard from
al the same time. On Thursday, last year.
% more places were heard from. making 443
IN all this year the corresponding number
was Az. Eight days after the election last
year there were still 20 places to be heard
rom This year only six were left unre-
ported on the Saturday after election. The
promptness of making reports is thus shown
TO have been wholly Unprecedented. The
reason why towns are not heard from, is that
,hey are remote and inaccessible. They
nave no railroads or telegraphs or even daily
stage-coach lines

Mr.. EDITOR: We learn from the green
back convention held in Portland, last Tues
day that dastardly attack was made upon
the straight greenbackers nominated as dele
gates from this city, by man named L. J.
Croker, well known as the fusion leader of
the mongrel Hancock delegates from Angus
ia, to exclude the greenbackers from the hall.
This long haired warrior stood in the door
way and objected to the greenbackers enter
Ing the hall, because they were opposed to
his defunct democracy. However, these
gentlemen in spite of the efforts made by
Croker were admitted by the State Commit
tee to the convention, but after entering the
hall and finding that the hall was packed by
Croker and other defunct democratic or
fusion office seekers, the straight greenback-
ers were Disguised and retired from the hall,
and are now bound to support Weaver and
Chambers electors and no other. N

An CNwELCoME VISITOR. A horse owned
by Mr.. Daniel Garland, created quite SEN
sation IN Main street last evening. The animal
started somewhere on Union street and went
down in Pickering Square, then came up on
Main street minus a carriage. He proceed
ed down the street at full speed until he ar
rived opposite the crockery store of J. S.
Kicker & Co, when he wheeled around and
walked into the store as cool as you please.
The clerks were rather astonished as well as
dismayed at this unexpected visitor. particu-
larly as the animal tramped the entire length
Of the store, regardless Of the frail
articles of crockery which surrounded
him on all sides. Strange az it may
seem, however, the horse was captured
and led from the store without doing any
