Political .Proscription.

Mr. EDIToR:- Has it come to pass in this
city, and in old Cumberland county, that the
liberty of speech and right of saffrage must be
sacrificed and trampled under foot, at the
behest of any man? Can it be possible that
the sheriff of this county has SO far degraded
his office as to require that his deputies must
sacrifice these sacred rights, which are dearer
to an American citizen than life itself, to re-
tain the paltry Office under him?
would not have believed that any man, as
sheriff of this county, would have issued the
manifesto which the present incumbent has
done to his deputies, but for its publication in
the press OF the city. He calls his deputies to-
gether and does not say to them, Gentlemen,
you must vote according to your honest convic-
tions, would be pleased to have you vote with
me-; but, sIf you do not vote with me- and
my party, in the approaching city election,
although you have faithfully discharged your
duties, and been efficient in the service, shall
most assuredly discharge you from office. 4"
What an outrage? Prescription and bulldozing
for opinions sake truly.
The sheriff found one man who could not be
bribed, who, although he was told, che talked
, too much, was independent, claiming to exer-
else the rights of an American citizen, and he
summarily dismissed him from the service.
One would have supposed that the other depu-
ties would have been filled with indignation at
this most extraordinary and arbitrary encroach-
ment upon their rights.
Let the voters of this city, at the approach
ing election, teach Isaac d. Sawyer and the
trainers of his address, or manifesto, to his
deputies, q lesson that will not soon be forgot
ten-that the liberty of speech and right of
suffrage are sacred and invioable, and that any
man in this country who would trample upon
them and deprive the most humble of his fell
low citizens of those sacred and exalted privi-
leges, deserves the execration of his country
man. SPIRIT OF 1776

Lectures.

LECTURES
Tonight Mr.. Clarence Hale will deliver his
lecture on Alexander Hamilton, before the
Mechanics Society, in the library room.
Mr. Fl. H. Ragan's illustrated lectures are
exceedingly attractive, his delivery being good
and illustrations excellent. He delivered his
lecture on "Glimpses of Scotland in the regu-
lar High School Association course, at Somer
vile, lately. The lecture was very fine one,
and commanded the closest attention of large
and highly cultured audience. Mr.. Ragan's
last lecture is Thursday evening.
None of our readers who are interested in
the wonderful story of Egypt and her astonish-
ing development in the arts and sciences, even
before the dawn of written history, can afford
to lose the opportunity of increased knowledge
which Mr.. Hayden's lecture tonight affords.
AS is we'll known, nearly every production of
the industrial arts as practiced in that day, has
been found in her tombs, and on the walls
thereof are pictorial representations of the peo-
pie as engaged in agriculture, manufactures,
social life, feasting and war. Even the expe-
riences of the soul after death are depicted
thereon.
very large collection of all these things is
in the possession of the British Museum. Mr.
Hayden, we are told, possessed unusual facili-
les for studying them. His visit to the
Museum as not the brief one of the ordinary
tourist, but his residence in the vicinity was
extended to the period of eight months and his
visits were of almost daily occurrence. His
previous knowledge Of such matters was pro-
found, and we can well imagine that the lee
ture which is to be delivered tonight, will be
one of more than ordinary interest.

father were exhibited by Mr.. Barrows. At
the close of the exercises instead of an empty

evening, but OF their own good and Long

would have been more readily localized by
the summer visitor, but it could not have

The Office of City Physician.

Mr.. EDITOR:
Among the personals of the PRESS this morn
ing read the notice OF the petition in circula-
ton "for the appointment of DR.. Sarah Ellen
Palmer as assistant city physician for diseases
of women and children This is an uninten-
tional error. The petition asks simply that
DR.. Palmer be made physician to the women
and children of those who fall under the care
of thescity government.
No one would think of classifying the medi-
cal staff of the Maine General hospital as as
sistants-or apply it to the surgical staff as as
sistants to the medical. They honorably and
equally fill their separate departments. This
is the same thing, only. ono is man, and the
other woman.
Precedents are not warfting. There have
been and are women who filled the office well.
DR.. Sarah Williams of Springfield filled the
office in both the departments of men and
women. ..and when she made her last visit to
the city hospital, said the Springfield Republi-
con, the women and the mon wept. DR.. Craw-
ford holds the position in Boston, and has
held for several years at large salary, OF
physician to the women and children OF the
poor under the out door relief department of
the city.
"What has started the movement" some
may be led to enquire "Have not the poor OF
the city been previously well cared for?" We
can say in the most unqualified terms that they
have. But if the experience and pay. is OF
value to young men, is it not equally valuable
to young women, especially if the treatment of
women and children is to be their department?
If DR.. Palmer has equal education, equal q
ability, equal experience, has she not an equal
right to the position among her own sex?

Twelve persons were received into the Con

Mr.. Frank Quimby, residing in this town.
about one mile from Steep Falls, went to
Woods mill at that place after load OF slabs
on Saturday, the 18th inst Being somewhat
cold he stepped into the mill to warm himself
The stove stands near a staye machine, having
circular saw running at the time, but no
one at work at it, the operative being on the
opposite side oiling up. Mr.. Quimby being, it
is said, near-sighted and perhaps little snow
blinded, by some way unknown to him, caught
his fingers upon the saw, drawing his hand
upon it, splitting the hand between the little
and next finger down through the back OF the
hand and joint of the wrist, then turning and
coming out by the thumb, leaving the thumb
hanging by just string: Drs. Moulton, OF
Limington, and Swasey, of Cornish, were I'M
mediately summoned and after consultation
decided to amputate the hand at the wrist.

that its Sheet Lead, Lead Pipe and White
Lead are considered among the most reliable
makes in the market. The appreciation of its
manufactures by experts is shown by the award
of gold medal by the Massachusetts, Charita-

increasing demand for its goods, and especial
