General Devens has replied that, with regard to

such circumstances any longer than would be nee

Of prisoners he says there is reason to doubt that
il will be made aud it might therefore, reasonably
be expected that the keepers of als, where Govern

their pay.
In regard to the Marshals themselves, the AttOr-

money for nearly eleven months. and thinks they
are entitled to great credit for the exertons they
have already made but he does not doubt that they

Aroostook Notes.

In Aroostook, while it has been rather un-
favorable far driving lumber on account of the
dry weather, it has been favorable for getting
in grain, and very good to clear new land.
Probably there will not be as many potatoes
planted as last year, as the price is very low
for them this spring.
1t is astonishing to see the large amount of
Cultivators, horse-hoes, horse-rakes, and other
implements used on the farm that are yearly
brought into this country. After a residence
of twenty years. I am prepared to say that
Aroostook county is destined to be the garden
of Maine. have never failed to have corn
ripen in the field, although one year planted
the first of June.
There is to be celebration at New Sweden
in July. 1 hope many persons from different
parts Of the State will avail themselves of the
chance of very low fares to visit this county.
I think the fare will be So from Augusta to
Caribou, short distance from New Sweden
IS from Bangor, with return ticket, and as
low from other places, probably.

The Deerine Town Meetino

Mr.. EDITOR: AT 2 o'clock to-day the voters
of Deering are summoned from their labor and
business to attend a special town meeting,
called at the request of few citizens (who
were leased almost to death to do so, no doubt
to consider whether ledge shall be removed
from Read street.
Twice before, since the year came in, has the
very same matter been before the voters of
Deering, and they have voted against the
measure. They will do so again if present in
any considerable number. There is danger
that many will neglect to attend the meeting,
and thereby allow the few friends the scheme
has to succeed in their purpose. This is pre-
cisely what they hope for, and our good citi-
zens will make mistake if they do not attend
the meeting, and when there dispose of this
case at least for the present year.

The Annual Races for the Challenge Cups

The annual races for the challenge cups of
the Portland Yacht Club came off yesterday
morning. The clubhouse balconies were
filled with members who could not participate
in the races, but who were DESTROYS Of witness
ing the start, while the great wharf below was
loaded with outside spectators whom the
promise of a regatta always collects. The
day was fine, with good breeze from east
southeast, but in the distance the fog could
be seen hanging over Peakes' Island
At 9.45 a. m. the first gun was fred and at
10.15 a. m. the second. The breeze was strong
enoagh to give all the boats an excellent start
and they came by the stake-boat off the club
house in fine style, the Nellie leading. For
some little time they kept the respective posi-
lions in which they passed the stake and then
began to bunch, and when they passed the
breakwater the Tempus had the advance.
Fifteen minutes after starting thick fog en-
veloped them, and the wind set in light from
the east. Great difficulty was experienced in
finding the buoy off Trundy's Reef owing to
the fog. The run in was much pleasanter
than the run out. The following table shows
that the Undine wins the cup for second class
schooners, and the Mary that for second class
sloops. The Allie takes the cup for the third
class sloops. No first class boats entered:

An Abscondine Bx-Tax Collector.

The Bangor Wing says that considerable ex-
element has been created in the quiet town of
Corinna, by the sudden departure of Clements
G. Libby, Greenbacker, who had been tax COL
lector of the town for several years prior to
this spring when he was succeeded by Re-
publican. 1t is stated that Libby had not full
ly settled his accounts for several years under
the Greenback town administration and that
of about $4,000 of taxes committed to him it
is not known how much he has collected, as
his books are gone. He has wife and two
children in Corinna, and Jonathan Hutch
ings, Robert Knowles and John Bigelow were
his bondsmen for 1879. He left home last
Thursday, driving over to Pittsfield where he
took the cars. He afterwards sent postal
card from Boston to a man in Corinna to
whom he had sold his team, telling him where
to find it in Pittsfeld. Libby is about thirty
five years of age, and has hitherto stood well.
1t is generally thought that he has misappro-
priated one or two thousand dollars, but the
towns interest will be fully protected
