Bitter complaint is made against Mr..

for the condition in which they keep the
sidewalk in front of their premises. When
Mr.. Seymour got permission to use the
sidewalk from the town for teams to cross
he promised in his petition to keep
said sidewalk in good repair, but SC
far he has failed to do so. Mr.. Seymour
could easily repair it in an hour, if he fell
so disposed, as he has everything at his
command to do so. Council should com
pei Mr.. Seymour to attend TO it or know
the reason why. Mr.. Hahn ditto.

though greatly interested in Russian af::

PEsTH, Dec. 15-Evening.
The Poster Correspondent publishes a
letter from st. Petersburg which con-
tains the following statements: "Most
serious difficulties have arisen between
the Gar and the Czarowitch, the latter
decisively demanding constitutional re-
forms, which the Emperor refuses to
grant. The Czarowitch based his request
on the ground that the Emperor must
not by resistance compromise the future
Of his dynasty. Gen. Drenteln had al
ready received orders for arresting the
Czarowitch, which were only counter
manded on the receipt Of telegram from
the Czarina."
The letter adds: "The Gar has re.
ceived copy Of a petition which will
shortly be presented to him by the Sen.
ate, demanding, in firm language, that
his Majesty, by granting rights and lib
critics, should make the people them
selves the guardians Of the Empires
greatness. A report drawn up by the
Generals-of the Army insists, in view Of
the feeling among the officers, upon the
necessity Of proclaiming Constitution,
and threatens pronunciamento in case
the present repressive measures are per
sisted in" d nj.

of Joseph Redlon, Esq. of Gorham, and Miss
Matte Cummings to DR.. Talbot of Gorham,
at the Congregational church in that village,

decorated with flowers, and floral arch erect
ed, surmounted by horse shoe of orange
blossoms, under which the marriage ceremony
was performed After the wedding an ele-
CANT breakfast was served at Mr.. Eedlon's, at
which Mr.. Justice Clifford, grandfather Of
Mr.. Cummings and Mrs. Talbot, was present,
although his health was such that he was I'M
able to attend the ceremony in the church.
After the breakfast the newly married couples
left for Boston and thence will make trip to
the mountains.
A very pleasant wedding took place on
Emery street yesterday afternoon. The par
ties were Mr.. Frank p. Shumway, Jr. of Bos-
ton, and Miss Lizzie a., daughter of Mr.. John
NJ. Elliot. The marriage ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Herbert W. Lathe. The flor

The Visit of the Maine Historical Society

to Castine
The account published few days since con-
corning the uncovering of remains of the early
French occupation of Castine, for the benefit
of the Maine Historical Society, furnishes food
for interesting Renaissance. The visitors to
this locality, whose main features have not
materially changed since the gay adventures
Of sunny France here mingled picturesquely
with the painted children Of the forest, will
have viv 'dly recalled to mind by the sight of
these relics of ga day that is Dead" the scenes
which might have been witnessed two.hundred
years ago here in ancient Pentegoet, on just
such day as this which the Maine Historical
Society has selected for its visit. Surely the
minds eye will again see the birchen wigwams
of the Abenakis, dotting the green slopes I'M
der the shade of autumnal trees, the dusky
and graceful women and children trooping
here and there gathered in groups chattering
and laughing in gay abandonment with their
French companions; the blue waters of the
bay alive with airy canoes floating over its
placid surface, and many another scene Of hap
piness or of woe. Here it was that theigay, gen.
erous and gallant Frenchman of Bearn, Jean
Vincent, Baron of St. Castin, came and
made his home with the Abenaquis, adopting
their habits and3 dress, and marrying the
daughter of Madokawando their chief. ABBOTT,
quoting Martin, says that his age was about
twenty-one when he came to this coun-
try, and that he came just after serving
in brilliant campaign against the Turks.
Parkman, however, who is, doubtless the most
reliable authority, says that he came to Cana
da at the early age of fifteen, in the regi.
ment of Carignan Salieres ensign in the COM
pany.. of Chambly, and when the regiment was

Miss Dickinson's new play is generally COM

and rearranged before it is as successful as its
literary merit should make it,

disbanded, he followed his natural bent and
betook himself to the Arcadian woods" 1t
was a romantic and adventurous life that he
led in Arcadia, as large portion of Maine
with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia was
then called, and so fascinated was he by it,
that he always declared that he took far great
er delight in the beautiful forest of Arcadia
than in the beloved valley of the Pyrenees
where he was born.
By his tact and generosity he became very
popular among the Indians, indeed, they quite
1t is said that he acquired great wealth, and
was in the habit from the first, of presenting
to his savage friends the merchandise which
he had ostensibly purchased for trade, who, in
return made him far more valuable gifts OF
furs when they returned from their hunting
expeditions.
which was square Fashioned fertilization, and
previous to its capture and abandonment by
party of Dutchmen from st. Domingo, who
held rowing commission from William OF
Orange to distinguish them from buccaneers,
mounted twelve small cannon The condition
of this fort is mentioned in 1910, and in 1871;
fourteen soldiers and eight labOrers, it is said,
were settled near it. The place was conSid-
cred of so much Importance as station that
Talon recommended an enrol de TILES for its
benefit. AS Peptagoet was within the terri
tory claimed 10y the English, it was constantly
threatened by the Bostcnnais as the people OF
Massachusetts, were called, and many attacks
were made upon it. In retaliation the French
and the Abenauuis resolved 10 strike a blow at
the English, and a great war party convened
at Castin's S, alton. Parkman says, at the be-
ginning of June, 1852, the site OF the town of
Castine was covered with wigwams and the
beach lined with canoes, Malecite, and Mic
macs, Abenaks from the Penobscot and Aben-
axis from the Kennebec were here, some four
hundred warriors in all. Here, too, were
Pentneuf and his Canadians, the Baron de
Saint CaSin and his Indian father-in-law,
MadOckawando, with Moxas, Egeremet and
other noted chiefs, the terror of the English
borders. They crossed Penobscot Bay and
marched upon the frontier village of Wells"
This expedition was a failure, and Parkman
continues, 1.-THE warriors dispersed to their re-
spective haunts; and when band of Them
reached the St. John, Villebon Cody declares
that he gave them a prisoner to burn. They
put him to death with all their ingenuity of
torture. The act on the part of the governor
was more atrocious as it had no motive of le-
prsal, and us the burning Of prisoners was not
the common practice of these tribes" The fol-
lowing is as nearly literal translation as pos
sible from Villebon's journal, 1912: Il gave
him (the captive Engishmap) to our savages
to be burnt, which they di0 the next day. One
could add nothing to the tornaents Which they
made him suffer" 1t seems hardly possible
that a man like Villebon, who professed to be
Christian, could have coolly allowed, and in
deed, encouraged such a terrible exhibition as
this slow torturing to death OF a brother man
afforded Nero himself could have hardly
done more. LAUNCELOT.

Mr.. Francis d. Jordan, of Savannah, whose
death by drowning at Tybee Island has been
recorded, was an eminent member Of
the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, having
been Grand Master for the State of Georgia,
and also Chief Patriarch of the Grand En-
campment of the State. He had applied him
self TO the jurisprudence of the order, and be
came an unquestionable authority upon its
laws and usages Mr.. Jordan had been en-
gagged in the watch and jewelry business at
Savannah for many years, and had won a
high degree of regard among his business asso-
ciates, as well as in the community generally,
by his many sterling qualities, and his sudden
death evoked general feeling of deep regret.
Especial notice of the event was taken by the
Grand Lodge, /. o. o. F., and his funeral was
attended by the leading citizens. 1t appears
that at the time he was drowned there was q
very heavy surf, caused by severe storm
and but few of the visitors dared venture into
it. 1t is thought that the violence of the
waves brought on an attack of heart disease
as he was rescued in five minutes but was life
less. He was native of Biddeford, Me.
