| freight shipments of all the stations on the
line of the Maine Central.
The Macadamzed road on upper Water
street is far preferable to pavement, although
1t may not last long. A most thorough
job has been done in that locality, and one
which will be appreciated by the horses whe
| haul the heavy loads constantly required BY
the business Of the mills.

One OF the most exciting political contests
that cas- occurred in recent American pslitics
and one in which Gardiner boy was one Of
he chief actors and final victor occurred
last night at Hanover, Kansas. on the occa-
sion OF the second senatorial district conven-
ton to nominate 9 republican member Of
Congress. On the eight hundred and second
ballot, the one previous to it having been Q
tie between the candidates, Edward A. Bsf-
! ry, Esq, of Waterville, received the non.
t nation, and will probably be the next United
States senator from that district. Mr.. Ber-
ry is a native of this city and is an older
: brother Of our present mayor Mr.. Berry
read law with Hon. Charles Danforth and
t was admitted to the bar in this county before
going West. He has resided in Kansas for q
] period of twenty-five years, and four years
ago was delegate to the republican national
convention from that State.
1t is no less an annoyance to your reporter
than it must be unpleasant to the parties
themselves to note the many typographical
errors which occur in your Gardiner column,
and the strange havoc with names, places
o and news. So many of these occur that We
: never think of asking you to correct them.
b But please say that it is Rev. DIR. Base NOT
y Boss to which reference was made in Satur-
days Journal, and that he is pastor Of the
q Methodist, not the Universalist church.
: Also it is Rev. R. w. jenkins, not Judkins
who is pastor of the Congregational church.
!, The above are only few Of the errors
q occurring in Saturdays daily. but IL you
: will correct these we will try and overlook
the others.
