STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST,

Rev. Elijah Kellogg, of Harpswell, who did
SO much to make American youth happy by
writing the Elm Island stories, is surrounded
in his old age by old friends who think it a
privilege to know him. Very often they
have reunions at his home, and when they go
away leave substantial reminders of their
friendship. This year they propose to meet
at his home at North Harpswell, on the
evening of Thursday, Oct. 31st.

Hon. y. ID. thomson, OF GreenSburg, Ind,
clerk of the Decatur Circuit Court, writes to
the PRESS an interesting letter concerning a
matter of recent interest in Maine. He
writes: 81 notice in the Cincinnati Enquirer
clipping from your PAPER making mention
Of trees growing from house in Biddeford,
Me-, and how they obtained room thereon to
grow. In this city we have parallel case
and send you a cut of the same. About %
years ago a twig was observed branching on
top of the Court House fence $50 feet from
the ground. This twig developed into tree
10 or IL feet high and several more have
since grown there. This year the building is
being remodelled and the authorities, being
afraid the stone would be displaced deter.
cation they decided to leave two of them,
which are now 3 or feet high and growing
vigorously. The trees are silver poplar,
which will grow in almost any place and it is
supposed they took root in the Joints from

District Attorney Fellows, after devoting
to the cases Of the doodle aldermen" a de-
gree of energy that has left them to escape
conviction, has been distinguishing himself
again in the trials of several other cases in
volying corruption at the recent elections.
Bribery and perjury were charged against a
man named GOetz and another fellow called
"Silver-dollar" Smith. A correspondent of
the Boston Transcript states that last spring
the City Reform Club spent all the money
and influence it could command in trying to
get control of the necessary witnesses and
to compel Fellows to bring these cases of
bribery and perjury to trial. In spite of
their best efforts, as the months rolled Oh,
one witness after another was scared out of
the district. and many of them fed from the
city. One most important witness, for in
stance. is now travelling in Europe with Buff
falo Bill. At last all hope failed. and in the
opinion of the club the whole business was
dead. AT last, ten months after the offence
and seven months after the indictment, the
club was notified by the district attorney
that he proposed to bring these cases to trial.
The Club, who were no longer able to offer
evidence, were surprised at this action and
az ilrst at loss to account for it, But 1t
seems to be pretty clear now that it is the
intention to try the cases now the evidence
required for conviction is no longer at hand,
ana give the accused the benefit Of acquittal.
Goelz has already been acquitted; and
smith, whose trial comes this week, is prob
any safe also; and will probably pursue his
ola ways-an abominable monument to Fell
lows's administration of his Office.

rosters Democrat, Dover, N. H., Aug. "a, 1877.
We are not in the habit of writing commenda-
tory notices concerning professions, yet when
thoroughly reliable and eficaclous treatment, of
whose benefits we are cogniZant, come to onr
notice, we have no hesitation in recommending
It to the public. Among the many who have
visited our city are none who come more strongly
commended to the public favors than DR.. WEIGH.
His treatment seems the best, safest and most
effective, and from our personal knowledge,
having been relieved of haraSsing feet troubles
ourselves, we unhesitatingly endorse him. He
thoroughly understands the anatomy Of the feet,
and cures all feet difficulties by a scientific
method. Everybody should see him.

DR.. Welch, the celebrated Chiropodist, Is meet

rhe Queen City of the East which has
been for several years back exceedingly pro-
life in sensations, has one on hand now of q
most disagreeable sort. The details are un-
fit for publication, though they are gradually
creeping into the local papers in the form of
statements from parties more or less init
mately connected with the case. The per-
son whom the story as it is passing from
mouth to mouth accuses, has been guilty of a
most infamous crime, or he is the victim Of
the hallucination of an insane person. The
worst of the matter is that there seems to be
no way of getting at the truth, the accuser
being at present admittedly insane, and the
accused, stoutly denying any guilt. What the
past character and reputation of the accused
have been we do not know, but they ought
tohave very strong bearing in this emer
gency. IL they have been good certainly the
unsupported story of lunatic imputing 10
him an infamous crime ought not of itself to
be sufficient to condemn him.

Senior Aragon, who will represent Costa
Rica at the "Three Americas" conference
tells the New York Sun that our protective
tariff has nothing to do with causing the
smallness of the trade between Costa Rica
and the United States. The Costa Ricans
buy In Europe because they can get what
they want there and cannot get it in this
country. European manufacturers study the
tastes of the country while ours do not Flu
ropean merchants send out merchants regu-
larry to study the Costa Recan markets to
see what is wanted and they are ever ready
to furnish goods in styles, number of yards
to the piece, width and quality, and the like
as suggested by their customers On the
other hand agents of American houses rarely
make their appearance In the country, as
compared with those of Europe, and they
show little disposition to cater 10 the taste
of the people. Then again longer credit can
be got In Europe and lower rates of interest.
IF" says Senior Aragon, American manu-
facturerS would compete for our markets
they must be able to supply us with better
article at the same price or the same article
at lower figure"
