The democrats took occasion to celebrate
last night. Their torchlieht companies were
out. and their houses were Illuminated. They
uso lhaniged IN some speech-making. Near
Tue residence of Thos. Lambard on Wintbrop
s,reet, the procession halted and that old
shvster and fraud, John B. Foster. the mam-
Der Of Garcelon's Council who skeladdled To
lineage, made some remarks. This is the
same man VINO, on arriving ir that western
CITY, wrote his famous letter to Garcelon
saying they were not supported by the peo-
PIE not even by the democrats and advising
cotnpromise with the republicans. But he
mas braced up since then and last night took
occasion TO exult in his connection with the
count-out. The republicans, he said. had
made the count-out the ONLY issue in the
campaign. and had been beaten. and he was
satisned II they were. He then paid his
compliments TO Capt. Boutelle saving that
ne was responsible for the disgrace which
mao oeen brought upon the State, that he
had made the State steal the only issue, and
IN consequence had fallen behind his own
Ticket In Bangor, mot explaining the des-
perate efforts made 20 cut Boutelle's vote
DOWN. He said that fusion had done the
business for them in this election. and that
they should '.join drives for the November
e0'i"h' IN closlng ne mad TO refer again TO
the count OF 1879. claiming again his vindica-
ton. The effect on his hearers caused little
applause, while on the other hand some hiss
ing was observed. The next halt was opposite
the residence of Hon. J. W. Bradbury on
Green street, where Eben F. Pillsburv. the
other skedaddler out of the State, spoke In
the course of his remarks he congratulated
them on the fact that the convention at Port

To the Fathers Arms.

In the presence of some bereayements,
human wisdom must stand speechless and
with bowed head. The death of the little
son, the only child. of Mrs. Maria Z. Fuller
of this city, chronicled elsewhere. re-opens
the wounds of lacerated heart that, within
a few years, has been twice and thrice
sorely afflicted. A sweet boy of remarkable
promise, living in a sphere far beyond the
realm of child-life, the hope and joy of a
household devoted almost without reserve to
its nurture, the tender bud is plucked before
the blossoming, the golden bowl is broken at
the fountain. The ''red banner of autumn
hang not out over little mound more sacred,
the tears of kindred and friends never fell
for bereavement more touching, or for the
close of a life more fair in its early unfold
ing The sympathy of wide circle of
atfectonate friends and neighbors go out to
the stricken mother, who in the solitude of
childlcss widowhood finds peace and comfort
in an abiding Christian faith. ii. o.

One of the new and popular designs for
next winter, will be chimes of sleigh h-bells.
The chimes consist of three bells of different
sizes and tones placed on the top of each
shaft, instead of under the shaft, as formerly,
and thus ring delightful harmonies. What
will be more beautiful music on moonlight
evening, than tinkling chimes of sleigh-bells?
When the chimes have supplanted the old
fashioned row of noisy brass bells, sleigh
ride will have added musical entertainment

Attempted BurKlary.-A scoundrel Ether.
fZes n Whole Family.

For some time past the residents Of Cor
ham have been troubled by the presence Of
burglars in their quiet village, several of
whose exploits have been recorded in the
Press. The boldest attempt however took
place the other evening in the very centre of
that populous town.
Nr. Edward Deering has lately kept fish
market in Gorham and has also been in the
habit of making large collections of money
which he kept in his house. His bedroom is
on the ground floor, and the window, close at
hand to the bed, looks out upon the street.
On the night in question he had several hum
dred dollars in the room, and it is supposed
that this fact must have been known to out
side parties. Mr. Deering with his wife and
child retired early and were soon fast asleep
How long he slept he cannot exactly tell. but
he awoke with start, all of nervous
tremor, and feeling very badly about the
head. He attempted to arise but accom-
plished his object only with great difficulty.
Finally he managed to reach the door, force
it open get to the front door and inhale the
fresh air. After little while he began to
feel better, and he then noticed a strong odor
of ether. He FASTENED back to the room and
with great difficulty awoke his wife and child,
who were both under the influence of the
anesthetic. After they came to they were
very sick. The room was saturated with the
smell of ether.
Investigation revealed the fact that the
window had been lifted few inches and
hole torn in the mosquito screen, through
which probably sponge fastened to the end
of a stick had been inserted, after it had
been saturated with ether. The other end of
the stick was probably held by man stand
ing on the sidewalk, who into nded when the
victims were thoroughly etherized, to enter
the room and ,ecure the money. Mr.. Deer
ing's waking probably defeated the scheme,
which was daring one-Iortiand Press.
