DISSEMINATION o; tle Eveuipa,

Notwithstanding the cold and rain of the
evening all the news depots were swarming at
an early hour with people eager to receive the
briefest dispatches bringing tidings of the
election. The PRESS and Argus offices were
thronged with anxious crowds and the electric
lights revealed street full OF people standing
In groups and discussing the situation as the
returns came in. The two campaign flags
foated carelessly on the winds, doorways and
awnings along the entire street were utilized
and men with umbrellas went back and forth
in streaming files from the newspaper offices to
City Hall.
For TWO hours the corridor and stairway
leading to the auditorium in the City Binding
were occupied by citizens of both parties
though there was no demonstration at first.
The Democratic managers held packed
house at their headquarters in Congress Hall,
and in the earlier part of the evening were in
high spirits over their dispatches from New
York. Norris G. Curtis read the returns from
the platform, and the rank and file were as
positive of victory as usual.
Mr.. Ardon W. Coombs' office showed cheer
ing symptoms of the strength and glory of the
Republican,. Dispatches and bulletins could
be counted by the hundred. Every availablo
space in the rooms and entry was filed, and
the enthusiasm was tremendous as the tele-
grams of victory were announced.
Among other places where the results were
received was the office of Postmaster Barker.
Here large number listened to the reports
that arrived momentarily, and Republican
confidence ran high.
About $50 O'Clock, word was passed around
that City Hall was open and crowds from all
places started as in panic for seats, shouting,
from the entrances. No business was transact
ed though the cries from the galleries and
floor were at times tumultnous
Finally countryman stalked up on the stage
and having secured order proposed three cheers
for Blaine, and they were given with will.
Someone stopped the man as he descended
from the stage to inquire how much money he
1.-TWO to one" said he, and he proceeded to
exhibit several greenbacks.
"Who are your"
81 come from the country, but I know
Cleveland won't be elected was the quick
reply.
AS midnight came on the rain poured the
harder and the crowds in all places began to
diminish in numbers, especially in the vicin-
ity of the Argus office, for the Democratic re-
turns did not seem to wear. By u o'clock the
Republicans were very confident, for assur-
ances of apparent victory came constantly
pouring in.

Wind ham.

On Thursday, Oct. Both Nathan Il. Wood Of
Windham died of injuries received only five days
previous while attempting to stall vicious bull be-
longing to William Hall. 1t appears that MIR.
Wood in the absence of the owner undertook to
manage the animal and had nearly succeeded in
returning him to his place in the stable when he
turned upon him and pushed him out through the
door and back against cart where he gored and
wounded him so fatally. Mrs. Hall alarmed
the neighbors and had assistance not come i'm
mediately he would probably have been killed then
and there out right. DR.. Dunn was at once called
and dressed the wounds. In the evening Mr.. Wood
was taken home and seemed to be doing well until
the day preceding that of his death. Gangrene set
in and he speedily declined until Thursday after
noon about 3 O'Clock when he quietly breRthed bis

Liquor selling i'm oxford County.


To the Editor of the Press:
noticed in the Oxford Democrat of October
18th an Article copied from the Portland
Argus in regard to liquor selling in Oxford
county, and stating that Greenwood is the
banner town, selling more intoxicants than
any other town in the county," which hope
is true, for more than enough is sold here
Greenwood has been Democratic town for
the past fifteen years until our last September
election, when it gave Robbie one vote more
than Redman, and during all that time there
has been licensed liquor agent in town, SELL
ing from $1,000 Co $1,000 worth yearly, with a
population of less than 800. AT our last an
nual election there was a board of municjpal
officers elected composed of one Republican.
who is opposed to town liquor agency. and
two Democrats, who take just the opposite
view and think the more liquor town sells
the more profit to the town, and in spite of
the determined opposition of the chairman of
the board, and also of the petition of nearly
one-half of the voters of the town, represent
ing nearly two-thirds of the capital of the
town, the two (both Democrats) not only
licensed an agent to sell, bnt brought the
agency some four miles nearer the business
part OF the town, thereby insuring greater
sale. These facts send you that you may
know that 1t is not in consequence of Republi-
can, but of Democratic, rule that this section
of Oxford county is flooded with rum, and l
assure you that there is no other place in the
town OF Greenwood where any kind of liquor
can be bought except at the town agency.

was composed of baggage and directors car,

ty-six years an engineer was the driver, and
Mr.. Charles Armitsge, conductor. But few

nIr. Wright's Testimonial.

The following letter from the Rev. A. Fl.
WRIGHT, Pastor of st. Lawrence Street
Church, speaks volumes in. praise of the Health
Lift, system of physical exercise which is
growing in favor the more it is becoming
known.
From long acquaintance with the Health
Lift as system of cumulative exercise, from
the beneficial results of its use in my own case,
and from actual knowledge of the benefit 9TH
ers have received who have used it systemati.
cally and perseveringly, am prepared to add
my testimony to it's great value as a simple,
safe and agreeable means of physical exercise,
for either man or woman. 1t will stimulate
the blood, induce healthy circulation, develop
muscular power and tone and strengthen the
whole system. Much more might be said in
its praise, but will simply add that if persons
OF sedentary habits, like myself, who require
more exercise than they usually get, or find
time to take, will commence the use of the
Health Lift, and continue its use With perse-
verapce and regularity under Mr.. Gaubert's
directions and cautions, I am satisfied thew
Will ind the same cause have, to prize and
praise its excellence.

UNKNOWN MAN FOUND DEAD.


Last Saturday afternoon, about 4
o'clock, while Prof. Rankin was wan
dering through the woods in search of
wild flowers, about 20 rods east of the
south bridge, he came across man dead
He was lying on his face, with his coat
folded up under his head, and his hat
covering his head. There were no indi-
cations of struggle, and he evidently
had not been dead many hours. Coroner
Squires was Immediately notified, and the
remains were brought over to the old
court house, where they were viewed by
many of our citizens during the remainder
of the day, hoping that they might be
Identified
Sunday morning, about 9 o'clock, a
jury was called, consisting of M. Majors,
John Hoy, Geo. Litchfield, Geo. Ward,
w.. R. Vandegrift and Jerry Ingalls,.

was found under his coat, supposed to be
some kind of medicine in his pockets
were found box of Ayers pills, a box
containing two quinine capsills, piece
of gum camphor, pair of eyeglasses,
&C., but no money. No papers or letters
of any kind we're found upon his person
which would lead to his Identification.
He was small man, had sandy beard
and complexion, and aged probably about
IS years. 49,
Andrew Moonan testified: recognize
the man as the same one who came to my
hotel Thursday and got his dinner. Said
he was without money. Returned be-
tween and Z in the evening, ard then
told me he was going to Lyle, as man
had told him he could get work there.
Said he was from Cresco, and was looking
for work. thought he was Scotch OF
English. Said he was sick-had the ague
Should say he was about As or so years
old. Said he had just come from some
town near by, GeRoy, think, where he
had been for day or two. He said the
hotel keeper there wanted him to work
out his poll tax at $1.25 per day, and
charge him 81 per day for his board.
Two or three rersons who formerly
lived in Cresco were brought in to look
at the dead man, but none of them recog
nized him. .....-s.
There were several persons came in who
thought they had seen the man about
town, but no further evidence was taken
