The death of Hon. Abram s. Hewitt
removes one of the most picturesque
of Americans. He died full of years
and honor last Sunday. A wife, three
sons and three daughters survive.
His wife is a daughter of the late
Peter Cooper, the famous philan-
thropist. Mr.. Hewitt was a regular
summer visitor at Bar Harbor, which
will keenly feel his loss.

Rockland is again discussing the
propriety of abolishing its common
council, and leaving the city's BUSH
ness with the mayor and board of
aldermen. The proposition was voted
down some years ago. Ellsworth
started in some thirty years ago with
mayor, aldermen and councilmen,
but very quickly abolished the coun-
Gil, and, so far as is known, has got
on tolerably well without it. Rock
land is also agitating the question of
having the municipal year end with
the calendar year, Dec. 81. Don't do
it! To inject local political cam
paign into the holiday season is un.
thinkable.

And now Deer Isle is after the rum
sellers. One Cohen has been brought
before Judge Spofford and found
guilty; and another alleged violator
of the law, E. s. Hamblen, has given
bonds to appear at the April term to
answer to the charge of being COM

county contrary to law is getting to
be risky business, and those who
have the effrontery to continue in it
are beginning to understand that the

A Plea For Mt. Deserts Forests.
Rosrox. Ian, IL, 1853.

"a VI mt DN7SAN .
BosroS, Jan. II, 1853.
To the Editor Of The american:
1t ia with real sorrow that come OF US who
spend our summers on the Island OF Mt.
Desert have heard OF the destruction
threatened the forest at Long Pond.
Cannot public opinion be made In the
whole State OF Maine strong and vigorous
enough to start movement to make Mt.
Desert island and other Maine slmmer
resorts into State reservations?
Simply from the money point OF view,
cannot the people see that by allowing the
portable saws to be brought wherever
their owners please, the wealth OF the
future IL to be sacrificed
The moment the forest Of Mt. Desert is
gone, one of its distinctive beauties Ii
utterly wiped out, for though there are
plenty Of seaside resorts left, this Island,
which has become so well known for Its
wood and sea SO close 10 each other, be-
comes at once like q hundred others,
except that there are left for years the
ugly traces Of the saw In addition to the
absence OF the beautiful fir trees with their
fragrance and shade.
The Maine legislature Is now In session,
and will not all its members from Hancock
county try their best to make some de-
cisive move, when they remember that
before the legislature meets again there is
time, and to spare, for much OF the forest
on the island to be swept out of existence.

In tho American Boston, at thu time Of this
history, they were cleaning out the witches,
and the shilling Of the title IL the money

Vaughan. newly from Mrs. Turner'S school
in the city Of York and now singing with
Joy at the fresh sense Of her emancipation
from all restraining authority, save only
that-scarco noticeable-of an indulgent
grandmother.
She was not prepared for her first meeting
with Capt. Paul Thorold, but 1t is made
plain that tho Captain could have had no
fault to find. 'Itis true that whsn she again
reached the ivy covered porch Just be-
fore this sterling young man was to come
into her life. she was astonishingly untidy
for lately finished pupil Of the most pre-
else school in England. But, oh. how lovely
was the sweet disorder Of her hair the

says: His face was the face Of scholar
