AImont stock In Maine.

Gen. William S. Tilton several years ago,
purchased In Kentucky, after very careful
selection, Constellation. son Of the famous
Almont, and brought this horse TO Maine for
the improvement Of Maine horses. says the
Maine Farmer. The General had given
great attention to horse breeding, and be-
came satisfied that the Almont family was
the best family from which to breed trotters.
and to breed large race Of fne family
horses. He had to meet with many difficu[
ties. First, % overcome the prejudices OF a
large class OF people who could see no virtue
in pedigree, and who thought that ono horse
was as good as another TO breed from. But
tine General knew that he was building upon
rock, and so patiently waited for his re-
ward. This year has brought 1t full and am
pie, and 1t is now acknowledged on all hands
that he has been public benefactOr, doing
as much as any one man ever did for the i'm
proyement and benefit Of the horses Of this
State. Constellation, in three Of his colts
this summer, has had great triumph. The
fOur-y ear-Old, Fatinitza, won the fOur-year-
old purse at the Oxford county fair ground,
tr0tting the first heat in 2.56f and the third
heat in 2.543. Huzzar lowered his record,
and Glenarm made the hands me record OF
2 234 at a race at Mystic Park last week
Constellation has been standing this season
at Monroe, having large number Of mares.
His reputation Is now established as a sire
Of trotters, and we predict for him many
years Of usefulness, and many sons and
daughters which will add TO his honors. The
Ger eral sold at the Bay State farm, as we
stated last week, his promising colt, Kaiser,
for S440O. We regret exceedingly that this
horse Is TO go back to Kentucky. because he
was finely bred and would have proved
great addition II kept In the stud in Maine.
The people of Maine owe Gen. Tilton a
great deal for what he has done in this State
and we take great pleasure In ehr0nicling
his success and TO heartily congratulate him

a Good story OF Mr.. Blaine.

Henry w. Paine. Esq. the well known
Boston lawyer, tells a story Of one Of his
cases in court In Maine soon after he took up
his residence in Boston. lie and Hon. Rufus
Choate we're engaged to defend Hon. II. o.
J. Smith, who was noted for some very sharp
business principles In connection with rail-
roads and other matters Messrs. Choate
and Paine went to Augusta In the same train
and agreed about division Of their labors
before the court. After they had concluded
their arguments Mr.. Smith desired permiss-.
lon to address the jury, and the court grant
ed his request, his lawyers mixing no obiee-
tion. He spoke for an hour In his usual inn
pulsive manner, but the jury did not seem
impressed, and the case went against him.
After Mr.. Paine returned to Boston he 70
ceiyed an Augusta paper, which contained
the following paragraph: ''In the case of +.
o. j. Smith, which has been on trial in our
courts, Rufus Choate furnished the eIoauence
Henry w. Paine the law and Mr.. smith the
slang" This pleased Mr.. Paine so much
that he made inquiries as to the author Of
the squib, and discovered that James a.

al career, wrote the paragraph, and in three
lines had photographed three prominent men

THE BURNT DISTRICT.
Fire Jumps from House to House
and from Street to Street.
Especial to the Press.l

Especial to the Press.1
PENNINGTON, Oct. 24-The fire burned
all night long and was stopped only
at daybreak The district burned by
the fire is of peculiar shape, owing
to the fires jumping back and forth
across the street so often, the changing of
the wind and the extra efforts put forth by
some of the householders to check the
flames. Starting on Pleasant street. it swept
away the houses of Mrs. Hunter and VIM.
Tarbox, and thence to the county jail,
Marble Hotel and went across to the north
Of Main street. In rapid succession Beals'
block, Knowlton's block and the Peoples
Trust Company were destroyed, and the fire
swept down Main street, taking every place of
business on thes west side. Taking in the
Exchange Hotel, it then wrought destruc-
tion among the dwelling houses on the same
side of the street. Leaping across the street
it took the Baptist church, and then back
and forth it went, sparing the Free Baptist
church on the west side and the Normal
School and the elegant new residence of
President Wheeler of the Peoples Trust
Company on the east side. The fire was
checked by the Lewiston engine. Mrs.
Graves house on the east side, and Judge
Chandlers house on the west side being the
last ones burned. Over half of the business
portion OF the place is in ruins, and over
thirty dwellings, some of them being of
the best are gone. The total loss is estimat-
ed variously from $350,000 to 100000 prob
ably the larger amount being nearer the fig
ure as the best judges put it very high. The
various agencies estimate the amount of in
surance they have placed as follows: Currier
$4,000, Greenwood $74,ooO. Ormsby $4,000,
Voter $4,000 and outside agencies $3,OOO
Total S155,00O. In the uncertainty that now
exists it is impossible to figure exactly, as
people don't know how much they have saw
ed, but the above are considered good esti-
mates.
