week The sinking of a schooner, name then un-
known The Bangor Wing says the vessel was no
doubt the Old sch Richmond which left Boston Oct.
22d with cargo of corn and flour for Bangor. The
Richmond is owned in Bucksport and commanded

Nothing is yet known as to their fate. OF the re-
port that portions of a wreck had washed ashore
at Cape Elizabeth and identified as the Richmond
the Portland Evening Express says: "At the life
saving station they know of no wreckage being
washed ashore. so that part of the story is doubt

To the ROrse Breeders of Waldo County and all
Persons Interested IN the TrOttins Horse.

At meeting held in Belfast for the purpose of
considering the project of organizing Il Waldo
County Horse Breeders Association, we we're an
pointed committee to invite the he. sc breeders
OF waldo county, and all other persons interested
IN the trotting horse to meet at the Court HOuse
in Belfast on Saturday, Nov. 10th, at o'clock p.
NJ for the purpose of organizing an association
whose object shall be the promotion of the interest
OF horse breeding and the development of the best
types of the carriage and light harness horse.
Such associations exist elsewhere and their
trottng meetings and the stakes offered for colts
OF all ages have proved to be influential in bring
ing buyers and sellers together and enhancing
generally the value of horse property The small
fees received for membership and annual dues
enable the association to hold these meetings and
offer liberal purses, while the members are easily
compensated by the benefits and privileges they
enjoy.
we would, therefore, respectfully request all in
terested to be present at the meeting or, if unable
to be present to send postal to the committee de-
clarng their intention to become members

The observation-disclosures Combat ThIckcnS.

The epistoary combat at long range between
Prof I. c. Batenan, the Sage of Searsmont, and
Lieut.. Rufus Roberts, of Minneapolis, is of course
purely PickWichian. The two comlatants are old
army comrades and the best of friends and are
only reiting each other with paper bullets for
their own amusement and that of their readers
This by way of preface to the fact that we had re-
ccivetl from Prof. Batcman for publication this
week reply, written in his characteristic and
humorous style, to Roberts last letter. Prof
Bateinan has asked lis, however, to suppress the
iettcr because of the death of near and dear
relative. We tsisobey his instructions only to the
extent o: giving the following verses, with which
he closes his letter:
Look out my dear Roberts, in YOUR hat there's n
brick
If you 90 up like rocket you'll come down like
stick.
For the sake OF dear Molly, your wife and your
heir
I'll spare your old pate that's devoid of all hair.
Oh yes. my dear Roberts, you're a jolly old COON
liut IN tlIs case you've tried to raise Sheo too soon
Tor the devil quite shortly in his talons will get
you
While I'll so to IIeayen-what say? will bet YOU.
Once more let me say, get back to Your dug out,
If you don't thcre'!l be blood spilled knock down
and lug out.

You will ncer get the drop on

the single State of Michigan furnished more
