              A new assembly of the Knights of Labor, composed entierly of printers has been

              George W. Ross, who introduced the electric light into Bangor, has contraced with

              Mr. Lovejoy, of Perham, harvested 8,250 bushels of potatoes from 11 acres. Senor
          Taber  makes a goodly show of apples. Quite a number of hop growers did not pick
          their hops. Although the yield was fair, the price ranged low and it is decided that it would
          cost more than it would to send the hops to market.

              Mrs. Brannon who is more  than 80 years old, has spun the filling for eighty yards of
          blanketing and woven it herself.  She says she took it easy and didn't hurry, as she spun
          only six or seven skeins a day. How many young girls could do as much.

              H. B. Bacon the well known clothing manufacturer of Sebago Lake calls for a large
          reinforcement of help for the coming season; those in want of renumerative employment
          should correspond with him.

                                                         MISCELLANEOUS

              FIRE!  Last Sunday night about 9 o'clock, in the midst of a violent storm of wind
          and rain, fire was discovered bursting from the cooper's shop of Mr. Edwain Fernald,
          on Marina Wharf.  The fire department was soon on the ground, and notwithstanding the
          violence of the wind and the rage of the flames which were fed by a great amount of
          combustible material, succeeded in subduing the fire before it had spread much beyond
          it original limits.  The night was most tempestuous, and the howling of the wind, the
          rattling of the rain, the shouts of anxious men, the cries of affrighted women, and the lurid
         glare of the flames, conspired to render the scene truly terrible.
             The buildings destroyed, together with their contents, were a cooper's shop, and a
          large building used for storage on Main Wharf, owned by Mr. Edwin Fernald, and
          two cooper's shops and a boat building's shop on Stone Wharf, occupied by Messrs.
         Chase & Cushing, James L. Boyd, and Morreel & Dyer.
            A dwelling house at the head of Stone Whaft was also somewhat injured. Nearly
          1000 bushes of corn belonging to Mr. Fernald was destroyed, and he estimated his
          loss at $6000, insured for $5000.
            The loss on buildings owned by Mr. Elias Thomas is said to be about $4000. No
         insurance.
            The work was undoubtedly the  work of an incendairy, whose hellish deed will yet
          meet with its just punishment.

              Mrs. Betsey Merrill of Hebron, committed suicide by cutting her throat on Friday,
          last week.

              The following gentlemen have been appointed Collector of the Customs, in this State:
           Bela B. Haskell, Waldoborough, Mr.; Daniel Remic, Kennebunk, Me.; William B. Smith,
           Machias, Me.

              A. Mr. Shedd had his trunk broken open one day last week in Lewiston, and $35.00
          stolen therefrom. A fellow boarder, who started for Portland before the loss was discovered
          is supposed have been the theft.

              Lermond & O'Brien's store was burned in Thomaston a week since. Loss $4000;
          insured for $2000.

              The store of Mr. Seth Winship, near the head of India Street, was discovered to be
          on fire Tuesday night last, but the flames were extinguished before having done much
          damage.

              A Miss Goodwin and another young lady while riding down a hill in  Lyman one day
          last week,  were thrown from the carriage and severely injured. The young lady is not
          expected to live.

              Johnathan McKenny, of Gray, has been on examination before Judge Fitch, for
          several days on the charge of murdering his wife some time since. Quite a number of
          witnesses were examined, and the examination has not been complieted when we went
          to press.

              The Following are recently elected officer of Volunteer Engine Co., No. 3: Charles
          H. Green, Foreman; Charles F. Little 1st Assistant Foreman; Albion Witham, 2nd
          Assistant Forman; Edward P. Little, Clerk; S. D. Merrill, Assistant Clerk.

                                                        MAINE MATTERS

              Shocking Accident. A marriage was solemnized in Norway, Me., on Sunday evening
           last; and a lot of thoughtless boys and young men, in consequence of a disparity of years
           in married parties, undertook to serenade, in Calathumpian style the married couple. The
         result was that one of them, the son of Captain Jere Forster, aged about 20, was so badly
         wounded in one of his eyes and his nose, by the shot from a gun that he was not expected
         to live through yesterday. Two others of the party were also slightly wounded. The matter
         will undergo a legal investigation.
              Missing Man. Mrs. Z. E. Hardy, of  Newry, Me., writes us in much anxiety as to
          the whereabouts of her husband, Mr. Zebadiah Hardy, "executor of Townley & Hardy's
          Panorama of the Creation," who left home in May last, writing that he was on his way
          to New York,: and has not since been heard from. Any information respecting him will
          be thankfully recieved by Mr. Hardy, at Newry, Me.

              Mr. John Balch, of Newburyport, Mass., for many years treasurer and agent of
           Bartlett Mills, was driving through Topsham on Tuesday week, when he got out of the
          carriage to adjust the head-stall of the horse.  The horse sprung suddenly, and throwing
          Mr. Balch down, the carriage passed over him, fracturing his spine and otherwise injuring
          him.  He was taken up, and it was found the lower part of his body was completely
          paralyzed.  He died the same evening. He was for many years a prominent citizen of
          Newburyport.

              Monday afternoon about 7 o'clock, a river driver by the name of Joe Redman from
          St. George, Canada, performed the very daring feat of riding a log from the toll bridge
          down through the swift water to the eddy just below this village. Any one who has ever
          been in Skowhegan knows how swiftly the water runs above and below the railroad
          bridge; we should judge that it runs in some places at the rate of a mile in three minutes-
          perhaps even at a more rapid rate.  The feat came off with scarecely any  previous
          announcement, still quite a large crowd gathered on the railroad bridge to witness it.
          Redman did the deed with the ease and dexterity and as though he was entirely at home
          on his log, dashing through the boiling water with only his pick pole to steady himself.
          Several times the log plunged beneath the water, but still its rider clung bolt upright. He
          jumped up from his log several times, turned and rode backwards and performed other
          feats to show his dexterity.  We learn the exploit was instigated by a wager of ten dollars,
          which was quickly made  up with ten or fifteen more with it. Redman has driven the
          Kennebec for fifteen years. Skowhegan Reporter.

          prey till it has eaten enough to satisfy itself. The fore paws are like the human hand, and the
          feet are like those of a cat.  The length of the animal is about six inches.

                                     CUMBERLAND COUNTY
                 
              The Bridgeton News gives an account of the robbing of the town
          treasury two or three times recently, of small sums of money. A watch was
          kept and on Sunday week the thief was detected in the person of a "young
          man belonging to one of the first families, of ample means, and enjoying largely
          the confidence of the community, which possibly may have been somewhat
          shaken of late by his apparent reckless expendiute of money at the livery
          stables, etc. He acknowledge having visited the box four time, once taking
          $70.66, and another time $6.00.  Twice he took nothing. The News says
          after a careful consideration of the case in all its bearings the town officers
          voted to prosecute the offender to the full extent of the law, but the officer
          whose duty it was to sign the warrant refused to do so, being on friendly
          terms with the family of the accused and preferring to make good the loss to
          the town, rather than to be instrumental in causing the offender to be punished.
          No warrent, therefore, was issued and the young man was allowed to go on
          his way rejoicing.  Mr. George F. Chadbourne, the sentinel who detected the
          rogue was hid in the room adjoining the chamber where the money was kept
          by Mr. Frost, the treasurer. The young man looked into this room and assumed
          great indignation to find Mr. Chadbourne, thus intruding upon the privacy of
          Mr. Frost's home under such suspicious circumstances, and seized upon the
          opportunity to severely reprimand him for such a misdemeanor."
