Some one ahould test the right of the tax
collector charging ninety cents as miage
and penalty for collecting fifty or seventy
five cents taxes in Somerset. 1t is not to
exceed nine miles from Somerset to New
Lexington, and if milage Is allowed, how
it is counted to.reach this sum. Further
more has the tax collector a right to charge
ninety cents to each delinquent when prob
ably there is from forty to fifty in town,
and he only makes one trip to New Lex
ington. 1t should be looked up, and if
it Is contrary to law, as common sense
would say it lie, stop it OF once.

Kay was a native of Norwich, CT. At the

treated her cruelty and at length procured
divorce, leaving her with an infant daughter.
Her father, who renowned hcr after her
elopement, refused to see her again, but con-
seated to adopt the child. Mrs Clarke, who
was then beautiful, spirited woman, went
TO Philadelphia and for some time earned
living at drrss- making. She became acGuaint-

HUNGER AND COLD
The Suffering ia ETelan..
TIE WORST YET TO COME.

LoSDoS, Feb. GA Dublin despatch
says the distress in Ireland grows more wide
spread every day. 1t is only through the
admirable machinery of distribution organ
lied by the Mansion House and the Mari
borough committee that actual starvation is
checked. The famine will probably intensi-
fy during the coming fortnight, after which
for a short period it will probably be less
severe, in consequence of the employment
of labor in sowing the crops. This done the
worst crisis will follow. The worst time
will be the last of MAY, all through June and
the first fortnight in July. A member of
the Mansion House committee believed the
present committee could manage the distress
for considerable time, but their funds
would be nearly or quite exhausted when
the most crushing crisis arrived. He would
advise making the American fund as large
as it can he and husband it as far as possible,
so as to step in when the other funds were
low. Much doubt is expressed regarding
the value of the government measures for re-
ieving the distress by lending money for i'm
provements. These works have been given
to contractors who cannot be obliged and
therefore will not employ the unframed and
enfeehlcd poor for whose benefit the works
are meant, but only men who can dothe best
work for their wages. The temptations Of
bad landlords TO wiring payment from tenants
is shown by notice issued by Derry land
lord who received a grant from the govern
ment for improvement. The landlord an
nounces that the money will be advanced to
tenants tor Improvements on their holdings

Things are becoming pretty warm for the
scoundrels who attempted to steal the State
government of Maine The legislative com
mittee under the lead of Hon. Eugene Hale,
which began an investigation last Tuesday,
at once unearthed case of forgery, the facts
of which are given by the New York Tribune
thus:
The Republican candidate for Senator in
Lincoln county, Andrew r.. G. Smith, was
counted out on the familiar ground of defec-
tive ballots. He had n clear majority of 1853.
Garcelon threw Out the entire town of Noble
boro l40. because the ballots were printed
Andrew X. c. Smith But this left % ma
jority to be got rid of, and to accomplish this
fraud the vote of another town had to be
wiped out. The town clerk of Somerville
testified that he sent a certificate, made up in
open town meeting, giving Smith % votes,
legally cast for him. that he received from
Augusta, about the middle of December, n let
ter written on the official paper of the sec
rotary of States Office, inclosing blank GER
tificate and instructing him TO fill it out,
giving the 20 votes to Andrew A X. Smith
instead of TO Andrew r. G. Smith, as in the
first certificate. He confessed that he made
out tnls ldlse certillcatc ana signed the names
of all the selectmcn to it, though none Of
them were present or knew of the transac-
ton. On tins false certificate Smith was de-
pFived of his seat, and I fusion senator put
in 1t. The forging clerk says he has mis-
laid" the letter of instruction, but the forged
certificate is among the papers, and in the
tabulated returns the 72 votes Of Somerville
were first put down 10 Smith. and after
ward erased. This is revelation No.
l. More are 10 follow, and by
the time the committee is through
with its labors the country will have an edi-
flying list of the things Garcelon was SO
proud of when he retired from office. There
is no possible defence for him and his council
To make. They cannot plead Ignorance, for
they tabuated the returns and they made
the erasure which they bear to-day They
made up the tabulalon first, giving the vote
of Somcrville TO Smith, and they were the
guilty persons who, carrying out the con-
spiracy, altered them on The strength Of the
forged certificate whicl. they alone could in
spirc, since 10 one else knew the number of
votes necessary 10 defeat Smith. They held
