Lots of planting this week, although
somewhat hindered by the rain.
A thunder shower passed over Tues
day afternoon, followed by most beau
tiful rainbow. And Ellen Stone informs
us that one day during her captivity,
when it looked darker than ever, if pos
sible, in regard to her getting once more
out of the hands of the brigands, all at
once there appeared charming rain
bow, which gave her courage and
strengthened her faith that she would
again be free.
Nelson Springer, wife and little child,
of West Bethel, visited at John Titus

their way to examine. a piece of wood
land near Overset Mountain.
D.. o. Davis of Minnesota informs us
by letter that the spring there has been
unusually wet and cold, so that he was
nearly four weeks late with his planting.
Fishing in the lake was uncommonly
good, and few days ago he caught so
many that they were distributed through
the neighborhood with a horse team.
But Mr.. Davis hasn't forgotten our
Maine apples during all these years, and
wants to know what the present pros.
pect is for a crop here this year. The
prospect for crop of apples is much
better than one year ago to-day; and if
he and his wife will come down here
next September, we should not be much
afraid to promise them all the apples
they want to eat.
And now we wish to thank several
persons for as many papers recently re,
ceived. One was Lewiston Evening
Journal, and contained marked article
entitled The Great Organ, and tells us
all about how and where that huge
noisy instrument is manufactured and
made ready to be heard, as when lion
roareth. Another was a Boston Globe,
and contained several old poems, among
which were Mary of the Wild Moor,
Perry's Victory, Honest the Best Policy,
and The Old Clock on the Stairs.
Frank Brooks moved into his new

MAINE POLITICS.

The sheriff is getting to be the all
important Office in Maine, and hot con-
tests are on in several counties. The
kennebec County Republican convention
on Wednesday took twenty ballots before
candidate for sheriff was nominated.
The successful candidate was Frank j.
Ham of Belgrade.
The Prohibition state convention met
at Bath Wednesday. Rev. Samuel +.
Pearson of Portland was chairman.
James PerrigO of Portland was nominal
ed for governor. The resolutions, which
are lengthy and vigorous in tone, re-
affirm the principle of prohibition as
against license, praise Sheriff Pearson in
unstinted terms, and denounce both the
old parties, but the Republican party
especially, for their fostering care of
the liquor traffic.
The Androscoggin County Republican
convention last week broke all conven-
ton records for Maine. A hot fight for
the nomination for sheriff was antici-
pated, but the actual was beyond all
dreaming. After organizing, the con-
vention Immediately proceeded to ballot
for a candidate for sheriff. Seventy-one
votes were necessary for nomination,
and Rev. c. S. Cummings, the strict en-
forcement candidate, lacked four votes
of majority, the vote standing, Cum
mings 81, GOogin 81, Dwelley Z, Shack
ford 6. The convention opened Tuesday
forenoon, and continued in session until
nine o'clock at night. 1t then adjourned
until Wednesday, and thereafter held
two sessions a day until Friday after
noon, when it adjourned to Monday. In
all 1855 were ballots taken, the last one
being the same as the first, and no mate
rial change in any of the ballots, except
an occasional change Of one or two votes
as q feeler. What this week will bring
forth il problem.

RURAL MAIL BOXES.

For those living along the Rural Free
Delivery routes the following clause
which became a law with the latest post
Office appropriation act passed by con-
gress, will be of much interest:
ssWhoever shall hereafter willfully or
maliciously injure, tear down or destroy
any letter box or other receptacle estab-
lished by order of the postmaster-gen-
eral or approved or designated by him
for the receipt or delivery of mail mat
ter on any rural free delivery route, or
shall break open the same, or willfully
or maliciously injure, deface or destroy
any mail matter deposited therein, or
shall willfully take or steal such matter
from or out of such letter box, or other
receptacle, or shall willfully aid or assist
in any of the aforementioned offences,
shall for every such offence be punished
by fine of not more than $1,000, or by
imprisonment for not more than three
years"
1t will be noted that this law makes
very clear the distinction between q
letter box established or designated or
approved by the pOstmaster-general, and
any receptacle which patron of the
mails chooses to set up on his premises.
The approved box becomes United
States mail-bOx from the moment the
postmaster-general puts his seal upon it.
The thief who robs it, or the mischief
maker who breaks it, or the sportsman
who wantonly makes target of it, COM
mits thereby an offence against the
United States government, and makes
himself amenable to federal law, en-
forced by federal judges and juries and
district attorneys. The robber or de-
stroyer of one of the soap or salt box
letter receptacles set up by rural resi-
dents for the receipt of their mail, with
out authority from the government, is
answerable only to the state authorities,
like any violator of the peace OF of social
good order. To shoot at such box
exposed by the side of the road is prob
ably, in most states, no more serious
crime than breaking afence-rail, or dam
aging a tree; the nearest justice of the
peace would have jurisdiction of such a
case, afine of S. or $40 at the utmost
would be imposed; and in most cases, if
the wrong doing were only thoughtless,
the culprit would get off with good
scolding on his promise to do better in
futnrp

READ 1T IN HIS NEWSPAPER.

George Schaub, a well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is con-
slant reader of the Dayton Volkszeitung.
He knows that this paper aims to adver-
tise only the best in its columns, and
when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised therein for lame back, he did
not hesitate in buying bottle of it for
his wife, who for eight weeks had suffer
ed with the most terrible pains in her
back and could get no relief. He says:
CATER using the Pain Balm for few
days my wife said to me, 4 feel as
though born anew and before using the
entire contents of the bottle the unbear-
able pains had entirely vanished and she
could again take up her household
duties" He is very thankful and hopes
that all suffering likewise will hear of
her wonderful recovery. This valuable
liniment is for sale by Shurtleff & Co.,
