CAPT. wINs1ow's LETTER.

PORTLAND, Me-. Oct. %. 1882.
Hon. Thomas b. Reed:
Dear Sir.-At meeting of the Board of
Trade held in this city, 23d inst, it was voted
influence to keep the two Lights at Cape Eliza
beth as they now are. Also: Matinicus Rock
Light, and all the lights en- our coast of Maine,
but more especially the Cape Lights. ANY
change in these lights, in my opinion, would
be serious damage to life and property, for
the following reasons:
First, the two Cape Lights were erected
nearly fifty years ago, and they are SO located
that when brought in range coming from the
eastward, clear Broad Cove rock; and coming
from the westward clear Richmond Island
lodges and Aldens rock. With these lights in
range bringing Portland Head light to bear
N. W. by N, then steer for Portland Head,
clears all the rocks laying off the shore, from
the Two Lights to Portland Head Light
This being the principal shipping port in
Maine, with its many lines of steamers, both
coastwise and foreign, it does seem to me to be
a suicidal thing to make any changes in these
lights, as you are aware there are thousands of
fishermen and coasters who take refuge in this
harbor in bad weather, during the fall, winter
and spring months.
Cape Elizabeth is a prominent headland to
run for, bound to this port from all parts, and
when the navigator can get sight of these two
lights with leading wind he is about sure of
his getting into port safely as there is no other
two lights on this coast We have much fog
here in summer, and cold snow storms and
thick yapos in winter, and in making this coast
often get CLINT when the lights can be seen
for moment, and sight of the Two Lights at
once settles the position of the vessel, and she
can make her port in safety. | have been
there myself, and / know whereof speak land
those Cape Lights should not be changed at all,
under any consideration, and hope you will
use your influence to keep them as they now
are. Also, Matinieus Rock lights are import
ant lights on our coast, as several lines of
steamers have to pass them every night, and
any change of lights on our coast will tend to
cause great damage to life and property. We
have the worst coast in the world. on account
of fog in the summer and snow and vapor in
the winter.
I think the person who proposed or recon-
mended the discontinuance of those Lights
cannot have had much experience on this
coast, and would recommend his making a
few trips, before urging the change he has rec
commended.
/ shall be glad to give you further informs-
ton on this subject if desired.

The Portland Water Company shut down
1her pumps last Thursday and water was for
the first time let into the 2200 feet OF new
brick conduit completed this season, from tbs
upper gate house to the west end of the tunnel.
The magnitude of the work may be judged
from the fact that over 5000 was paid out
for labor alone and 625,0OO bricks were laid
There now remains but 20O0 feet, of the whole
distance 5575 feet to be taken up and relaid

The Proper Thine to Do.

Our correspondent, who called attention to
the valuable papers in the possession of Hon.
e. X. O'Brien of Thomaston, was in error in
saying that they are to be given to the Society
of the Cincinnati. They are to be presented to
the Maine Historical Society. Certainly no
more fitting disposal of the papers could be
made. The Knox papers are in Massachus-
etts. Even Gen. Knox's certificate of mem
bership in the Society of the Cincinnati is in
the hands of private gentleman in Boston.
We are glad to learn, therefore, that the Valua-
bic papers in Mr.. O'Brien's possession are to be
retained in Maine.

A swINDLER ARRESTED.
]. M. Martin, the pal OF H. B. Strickland,
Brought to Grief.

Readers OF the PRESS will remember the item
published short time ago OF one j. M. Mar
tin who visited Portl and and tried to inveigle
leading mercantile houses into joining his bo-
gus mercantile agency, but did not meet with
great success. His pal, Strickland, had some
time before "beat" the City Hotel out of board
and languished in Jail in consequence for a
time. Martin has probably been arrested in
New York. The Kansas City Journal says
that detective George W. Cole of that city ar
rived with requisition from the Governor OF
Colorado, left for New York to arrest Martin
for drawing sight draft tor $3.50 on the bank
of Pueblo, at the agency in Kansas City, but Of
course the draft was protested, and the pals
Martin and Strickland decamped, having OBJ
tanned the funds.

Adiudged Himself a Lnnatic.

A wandering printer who applied for
work at the Danville Register office about
week ago was liven a situation. Last
week he complained Of premonitory symp-
toms Of insanity, and requested that he be
put under restraint for fear he might do
some harm. On Thursday Il commission
de iunaticO inquirendo sat upon his ease.
Upon examination of the man and the hear
ing OF the evidence the commission deci-
ded that the man is lunatic and ordered
him TO be sent to the lunatic ASYLUM, and
he was then committed TO Jail until he can
be taken to the asylum.
The name Of the unfortunate man is
William Loyegrow Grove, and according
TO his own account he belongs in Halifax,
Nova Scotia. lie SAYS he has been an in
mate OF Il lunatic asylum before for several
years. He is quite an intelligent man and
IL No. printer.
When asking that his case should be re-
ported TO the authorities, he stated that he
was afraid that his iunacy would develop
into violent madness, and that IN that con-
dition he might do harm to innocent per-
sons. One OF the symptoms OF insanity Of
which he complained was that he was beset
by legion Of devils and evil spirits, which
urged him almost beyond the control Of
his will-power TO set fire 10 houses ald 10
assault persons. particularly women and
children. The trouble of this unfortunate
man il not attributable to drink. rs he is
y tectotalier. he says.
