Great interest was manifested in this
vicinity when il was learned that hos
pital train with lbs Of the sick boys Of
the First Maine Regiment was 20 leave
Chicssmsuga for Maine the first Of last
week, and that on the train were several
of our Oxford County boys. There was
q rumOr that they might come on the
train Wednesday afternoon, and quite a
crowd gathered 81 the station. The
hospital train had not come, but Priv
ates Arthur A. Jackman and Joseph II.
Jewett OF Norway arrived that after
noon. ,lackmSn has been discharged for
disabilities incurred in the service, and
Jewett Is on a furlough.
From that time on the crowd was
larger az each successive train until Fri
day afternoon, when the boys finally ar
rived. IL rained. and the day was the
chilliest and most dissgreesble we
have had in two months. The boys who
got of the train were;
Serg H. IL Cole, Norway.
Corp. Il. \. Fspnce, Norway.
PRIV. u. q. Brown. StOnekam.
Priv George n. Fox. Norway.
PRIV. Albion Packard. Paris.
PRIV. A. +. DeCoster. South Paris.
Priv. Charles NJ Andrews, Paris.
Priv. L. {. Adams, Norway.
Corp. Sanger ;. Maxim and Priv. o.
J. Henry Of South Paris were taken TO
the Maine General Hospital upon their
arrival in Portland, as il was considered
better that they should remain there q
while than 20 attempt 70 continue the
journey in their present condition.
Adams was the only well man In the
party, and was one OF six detailed 10 &C
company the sick men from Chicksmsu-
ga. He looked well. but was pretty well
tired out. The others, though bronzed
by the southern sun, were thin,
gaunt and weak, and some of them,
though well wrapped up, were shaking
with chills. The best possible care was
taken Of all Of them, and they were TAX
en- directly home.
Corp. Nathan A. Chase Of South Paris,
who has been in Letter Hospital at Chick
amsugs, came by different route. and
arrived home on the early train Friday
morning. De is thin, but 40 as to be
out in pleasant weather, and is improy-
ing.
The latest report from Maxim and
Henry, who were taken 10 the Maine
General Hospital, Is that they are i'm
proving and hope to come home by the
last of the week.
Most Of the boys are so as to be out,
and in New England climate, with good
water to drink, will probably pick up
rapidly. Before their thirty days fur
Tough has expired, the regiment is ex-
pected to be at Augusta, and il IL
probable that they will be mustered out
there.

WANTS SEAT IN CONGRESS-.
James j. Corbett, Pugilist, Aspires to
That High Honor.

San Francisco, March 30.-James J.
Corbett who stepped from a bank to
the prize ring and made his way to the
TOP notch of the pugilistic ladder, is
ambitious to shine in another walk of
life.
Strange as it may seem to people in
San Francisco, who have never been
able to take Jim seriously, the ex-
worlds champion stands more than an
even chance of going to congress
To show how good a chance Corbett
has of securing a seat in congress, it
may be stated that in New York the
former champion is what Jim O'Brien
would designate as CLOSE up" with
Tammany.
The leaders of that wonderful and
powerful political organization are all
his friends and it was from one of Gro
lxer's chief Heutenants that COrbett re-
Gently received the intimation that in
making selections for congressional
candidates to be chosen at the Novem-
Der elections his name had been SER
iouslv considered.
