Senator Frye delivered a powerful address in
the Senate Monday, in answer to the free
trade propositions contained in the Presidents
message. He pointed out the uses to which
the surplus could be devoted, and recommend
ed that tocacco and sugar be put on the free
list. The Boston journal says: ''senator Frye's
speech succeeded admirably in fastening the
Presidents free trade declarations on the Dem
ocratic party, which, however much it may de-
sire to discaim them, cannot do so. Mr.. Frye
stated very solemn truth when he said that
the Republicans take up Mr.. Cleveland's free
trade gauntlet with great pleasure. They have
been waiting many years to meet the Democrats
face to face on the vast issue of protection, and
though the latter have hitherto been able tc
dodge their eager aGversaries they arc corner

The river and harbor committee at Washington

odd pages of reports from the Board of Engineer:
regarding Maine. Lubec Channel is the first water
way reported. About $4,000 is recommended fol
this. Other reports of local interest arc:
The engineers ask $4,000 for Bangor harbor an(
the PenObscot river. Up to June, 1851 $50 600 had
been spent. The rest of the money will be apple,
in completing the widening opposite Bangor, thel
at Crosby's NarTows.
Belfast harbor Is also down in the improvement,

appropriations, about $500 The engineers say
there is little need, perhaps, Of deepening the
basin in the cast side, but they make no recomnen

1t will take $3.50, 900 to complete the work at Rock

ded for this year. The original project consists OF
two breakwaters; one at Jameson's Point and one
at South Ledge. The one just completed, the for

A Strange Coincidence.

Weston Martlcn, who was found with both hands
and both feet frOzen and in an intoxicated condi-
ton, beside the road. ! have known something
about that family for some time, and the manner
in which Mardlcn will probably meet his death is
not different from that of his brothers death ten
years ago. His brother had been of on spree
and was found In his sleigh In 4 neighbours door
yard with both his hands and his feet frozen, and
drunk that he could not sit up. The doctor
amputated one foot but seeing that he would have
to amputate his other three members to save his
life and that then the chances OF his recovery were
very doubtful, refused to proceed farther, and the
poor man died. 1t seems to me that the similar
condition Of the younger brother Is a strange CO

was engaged on the Pamunkey River, Virginia, in
getting out ship timber. The war coming he
came north leaving large quantities of timber be-

timber rather than to have it fall into the hands of
the enemy. Mr.. Caswell presented claim against
the government, and once Mr. Hale had it referred
to committee. Mr.. Millken now has charge of
the matter and has introduced in the House Of
Representatives the following bill, which has been
