EAST FRYEBURG, was 60 years ago q
bowling wilderness infested with bears.
About 60 years or little more, the old
settlers that have passed, and gone home
to rest, settled in the Pike neigh5orhood
so called from the fact that two families
then moved there, the late Dea. job II.
Pike and the late Rev. John Pike. At the
same time came Mr.. VIM. Hapgood one Of
the oldest settlers. The settlement was
reached by spotted trees. Now it is a
pleasant fiourishing part Of the town. But
allow me to say here one great and essen
tial thing is terribly neglected-that is
preaching of the gospel. Forty years ago
there was preaching in this place, and
among the ministers were Rev. John Stew
ems, Elders Libby, Rand and Bean besides
numerous others. Now we have sermon
frequently from Rev. j. II. Mason, d. d.,
and a sabbath school.
Brother Democrt has the frauds picked
up ready to touch match for election is
fast coming, we thought so by the the
way they went from Paris home last week,
one Of those hot nights. Glad some Of
them were such strong advocates for sign
ing the pledge.
When Chas. S. Stearns Of East Fryeburg
went to his pasture to get his horse to
take his wife to ride, as she has been In
feeble health, not able to walk out far two
years or more on account Of shock in
her left side, and found his horse dead, in
the pasture, it being some distance
from his home place.
A fire is raging in East Fryeburg near
c. S. Stearns, set by some blue-berry vag-
abonds from Casco or Poland, who stop
ped over night, built fire and left it. II
there are laws made for the lawless, why
not put them through q course Of medi-
cine. 1t is enough for such creatures to
be prowling about without setting fires.

THE POLITICAL CENT.

Nr Editor,
The Greenbsck State Committee and
Democratic State Committee had con-
ference meeting in Portland short time
ago. Governor Plsisted was there, but
did not put in an appearance at the con-
ference. The Democrats so arranged the
political cent that they can say 10 the
Greenbackers, "heads we win, tails you
lose" That is where we are to-day,
brother Greenbsckers. SO We must tack
ship and have a new Convention.

THERE was meeting OF the Democratic

Paris last Tuesday. 1t is reported that
the offices have 10 go begging for candi-
dates IL was decided that L. W. Child
OF Milton would not be suitable catdi-
date for Sheriff, and the place was offered
10 Republican, who declined TO be
bought by such a cheap nomination. Then
J. A. Bolster OF Norway was put on the
ticket in place OF Child. A. $. kimball OF
Waterford offered twenty-five dollars TO
be released from his nomination, but the
Committee thought he could pay more as
candidate, and declined 10 excuse him.
c. +. Whitman OF Norway, sent in let
ter declining 10 be candidate for Clerk
OF Courts; out the committees decided he
must also stand. Considerable dissatis
faction was reported from various sec
tions, At the fusion so openly advocated
aud made. Certain men were delegated
70 shadow dissatisfied greenbsckers, and
eudeavor to soothe their troubled spirits.
Uncle Scion Royal OF Paris, was reported
slightly of the hooks, and he will be watch
Ell By two men who will endeavor to keep
him in the traces. This dissatisfaction
at the nominations, and disinclination OF
their best men, 10 stand as candidates
show that the we'll informed fusionists do
not expect to carry the County. They go
into the fight with only half courage. 1t
is said also that funds are scarce with the
Fusion Committees, and they do not know
where to get the sinews OF war.

RUMFORp ALL RIGHT.
RUMFoRp, Aug. 9th, 1882.
To the Editor Of the Argus:
Perhaps few words from the town OF
Rumford may be Of interest to some OF the
readers Of the Argus. Having taken some
pains to enquire, nnd the opposition TO
the Republicans solid for Plaisted for Gov
ernor, and none OF our men have gone over
TO the enemy, and we have no week.kneed
ones.
One Republican here says he knows they
shall win, because Col Robbie Is so ropu-
lar. Well, the same man tried to get the
nomination for Clerk Of Courts, on his
own popularity, and was defeated, as un-
doubtedly Col. Robbie will be on the 18th OF
September. The Scion drive will diminish
wonderfGlly-and there were only SIX OF
them in town two years ago.
Was in Paris recently and converseo
with two Republicans, viz: Geo. w, ana
James u. Ripley, who both say the princi-
pies Of the Greenback party are the correct
ones for the people TO vote for, and James
said he had voted the Republican ticket
for the last time, and that his next vote
would be with the Greenbackers. He evil
IDENTIFY don't propose to vote with party
that buy their nominations. U.
Now allow me to say that the above Is
untrue. IL 80" is the man think him to
be, he either misunderstood me, or will
fully prevaricstes. l stated that there
were some things in the Greenback plat
form that liked, but when see that their
whole move is to aid and strengthen the
old Democratic party and are willing to
sacrifice their own principles simply for
the sake of beating the Republicans, l
made up my mind l wanted no part of

There Is no discussion about political
matters here. l heard little talk about

was stated, that one OF our prominent men
who has usually voted the Democratic
