In addition 10 what our correspondent
has written, we will add that the Argus
and Press, the daily papers of Portland,
contain lengthy accounts of the arrest,
evidently detailed by one of the returned
officers. They contain many errors, the
officer being DESTROYS to gain fame from
another mans success. If Deputy Sher-
if Douglass had followed the advice of
the Portland officer, no doubt exists in
the minds of people here, that Archibald
would still be at large. Acting on his
own Judgment, Mr. Douglass secured the
prisoner before the Portland officer was
ready to move out of the village, He
was not following the prisoner in com
pany with Mr.. Douglass, as reported, and
did not assist in the arrest. Mr.. Doug
lass is entitled to all the credit there is in
the capture of Archibald notwithstanding
the loud boastings Of the Portland police.

BETHEL FESTIVITIES.

VI. Editor.
Mrs. Angeline Mason Clark ieft her
home in Mayyile last October, to spend
the winter with her brothers aud sisters In
the far West Her ncighbors lin thought
followed her in her strollings from place
70 place, and were much pleased when told
that she had started on her return TO
Bethel. Being Informed that she would
arrive on the evening OF the first day or
May, they prepared 10 greet her on that
evening In the form OF a surprise party
While she was telling Of her adventures In
her absence TO her brothers and sister in
one part OF the house, she was suddenly,
unexpectedly and happily aroused from her
quiet chat with friends by the sound of the
words, d" Home again, home again - sung
by the surprise party that had assembled
in another room. She was quickly at
tracted to the place from whence came the
joyful sound OF dear friendship. After the
mutual and pleasant greetings through the
shaking of Lands and the exercise or the
lips, the following poem was read TO her,
which had been written for the occasion
by young lady, one of the party.
Old Winters reign has passed away,
And fields OF white and clouds OF gray
Have vanished meath the kindly ray
ofAprir sun;
And now the merry month OF May
As welcome as her sweetest flowers,
Or song Of birds, OF cheerful showers,
Are, 10 our heart, the happy hours
We spend tonight;
And not a shade OF sadness lowers
On faces bright.
For, from the land where Summer goes
While Winter wraps us in his SHOWS,
She brings TO US the one she knows
We're glad TO greet;
Whom at the lingering journeys close,
We've come TO greet.
From the Pacifc's peaceful strands,
Where, fairest of all fairy lands,
Old California Sits her sands
OF shining geld,
While giant trees guard either hand,
Centuries old
Ger Arizona's deserts bare,
Blackened and scorched by heated air,
And naught of verdure anywhere,
save, now and then,
4 small green spot, as sadly rare
As honest men,
To where the swelling fields are seen
Clad once again in robes OF green;
While sweeping rivers run between,
And softly sing
"Seed.time and harvest-time, ween,
We gladly bring"
Until at length the glad bert thrills
At glimpses of New England's hills,
Her snow-capped mountains, glistening rills,
Her skies of blue;
The travellers eye with pleasure fills;
And then-adieu
To iron horse and dusty car,
The spires OF Bethel shine Affair."
The homestead door Is set ajar
For neighbors,-friends;
And so, with naught its joy TO mar,
The Journey ends.
The meetings, and tho vacant pew,
The circles, and the cuttings few(o
And all the sugar.parties, too,
Have missed your face
But now you're back, as good rs new,
With added grace.
hearty welcome from us all!
Excuse this most informal CALI
The days seem many since, last Fan,
You went away
And now we hope the rolling ball
Haa come to stay. -.

The scene in the wrapping house was
pretty one. The golden fruit, piled IN rich
profusion, the men and boys laughing as
they handled it so rapidly, the orderly crates
with their tempting contents, heap of pine
apples in an odd corner, filing the room
with their exquisite favor, huge punches of

BRADFORD, Pa, Feb. ia few days
since Harvey McHenry.- employed by the
Roberts Torpedo company as shooter" of
oil wells, set out with fifty quarts of nitro
glycerine in his wagon to. shoot a well in
Berger Hollow. He had packed his fifty one
quart cans with unusual care in specially
constructed wagon The road he was
obliged to take was very billy, and was slip
perry with ice. In one place, on a steep hill
it slsnted SO that the horses could not keep
the wagon from sliding from side to side, and
several times it narrowly escaped violent COL
lision with trees on the roadside. The eff
forts of the horses to keep the wagon on the
road finally snapped the tongue. The wagon
ran against the horses heels. Instantly they
plunged forward. The driver lost control of
them, and they ran away down the hill at
breakneck speed. McHenry held on to the
lines, although he knew that avery jump
of the horses threatened to explode the-Ritro-

hill he saw that the wagon would in all prob
ability hit tree fe*feet further down.

and saw the wheels of the wagon Just touch

the tree when the wagon was overturned
The horses kept on, dragging the wagon
along, tumbIing over and over as it went. I
never had known nitro-glyeerine to with

horses reached the bottom of the hill.

went to an ''orange wrapping" A large
warehouse belonging to the Wilkinson place
was lighted up with candles placed along the
walls, and all the ''help' of the neighbor
hood was gathered. In one corner Of the
room there were huge boxes filed with
oranges They were rugged with handles at
each end, and it took two men to bring one
of them in On the opposite side of the

PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the journal & Cour1ers
Sir:-The contract for supplying
the United States government with
seventy-five thousand 70, OOO) lbs.
of Baking Powder during the en-
suing year has been awarded to
Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder,
it having been tested by DIR. Ed
ward G. Love, analytical chemist
for the government, and recon-
mended by him for it's excellence
and because it contained a higher
percentage of gas (Which means it
will make lighter bread aud bis
cuit) than either the "ROyal'' or
the other cream tartar baking
powders which he examined. The
samples analysed by DIR. Love were
furnished by the government COM
missiOners, and were without the
manufacturers label or name,
and designated with a number
known only to the commissioners.
twill thus be seen that when
Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder
submitted to an impartial test
its superiority is acknowledged,
and the pOpuIarverdict so emphat-
ically expressed in its favor is fully
sustained.
