PARIS, MAINE, ss/nn /*ïvi iseworthy.
A> a clergyman, deemed ι heretic,
sometimes pieaches a sermon to no senti·
ment of which you ean object. an article dictated
evidently I>y a sense ot shame at die dis
closure? made of the rascality of the
loader- of democracy in New York, and
instead of seeking to coter ami apologize
for them, ai most υΐ the democratic press
does, it speaks openly and in a manly
way against Mich conduct. The article
commences as follow-
••Custom, in some case-», has made j
fealty to party λ duty only to Ne evaded j
at the ri-k ot denunciation and accusa
ι ion. It a mail has the nerve to ruray
himself for any cause, against wrongs in ι
λ political organization with which he j
h:\< been identified, he i- too olten greet
t! with the cry of "renegade" ant! "trai

consideration, nor the causes ot any cou
-cijuences. I'o steer clear ot denuncia

Ν ci y good -bul how long ha- it Ικ.·οη
that the democratic party lia- been so
toleraut toward- those who had the
manlincs- to break awuy from it. No
party vet hold such an iron sway over
it-adherents. It tolerated no desertions.
l.e! a leading man break away iron» it,
and he w as suddenly transformed from
an angel of light to a demou of darkness
W'ho have been more L-itteily and shame
fully denounced and their characters
meanly traduced, lor the simple reason
that they deertod democracy, than llan
nibal Hamlin, Lot M. Morrill, t oth-
er-. Like the man*- rabbit, which »vas so

nice pic, while he had him, but w hen he
escaped, was denounced as a "little j

which reads wi 11
"It a jnan has independence enough to

Michigan ami Wisconsin Fires.
The details of the teriible lires in Mich
igan and Wisconsin are of the most heart
rending character. It seems that a huge
lection in both these States has been
swept over by lire, destroying many lives
and a vast amount of property. The
strip ol territory in Michigan lying be
tween Green Hay on the east and Fox
and Wolf rivers on the west, comprises
ϋ tract of four thousand square miles, tho
greater part of which has been deva>ta
ted.
The flame* had crept down from the
north by the western line of this belt,
when tho wind shifted to the south and
south-east, and the lire returned over tho
uuburued section lying between the burn
ed district and tho Lake. In this way,
probably, were cut off the m ο η y refugees
who had lied from fires in the north. On
Sunday, it is reported, those encircling
Dames destroyed over four hundred lives!
Ou the opposite side of the Lake ihe
[orest lires have apparently boon quite as
jad. The lumbering town ol Manistee
îas been nearly consumed, -06 buildings
taviug been burned on Sunday night,
,vith a total loss of near a million dollars.
Holland, about JO tuiles south of Grand
Haven, has been reduced to ashes, and
he flames seem to have swept across thef
γ hole breadth of the Stale to the foot of
,ake Huron. The disaster was most
complete on 11 κ* peninsula between Lake
luron and Saginaw Bav. All that pail
>f the State lying east ol the Bay and
lorth ol a point 40 miles above I'orl llu·
on has been burned over. This district

which were important relief bills to

The people who lied to Lincoln l*ark
iiro >uflering terribly. From 00,000 the
number has swelled to 70,000. Those
who were in the vacant lots near Division
street have gone up to the Park, and the
scene now presented is beyond tho pow·
er of words to ducribe. Κ very one is
demoralized. Hundreds are lying on
pallets of straw having been rudely
arouse*! from sick beds to save their lives.
How many perished in the vain at·
tempt to save themselves will probably
never be known.
The area burnod is twenty six hundred
acres,—in which only four houses remain
—about one third of the occupiod land of
Chicago. Not less than five hundred
children have been born in tents and
on the open prairie since the terrible dis
aster, and many deaths anil much suffer
ing have eusued.
temporary buildiugs are beiug erected
in every direction and there are hundieds
of houses ready for occupation. There
is u marked change in the spirit of the
people, llio first feeling of utter prostra
tion having given way to hope and con·
faience.
Six new steam lire engine s have arriv
ed Ironi New York, and no further appre
hension is lelt of safety from fires.
From all sections of the country as
well :u from Κ mop ο tho people continue
to respond generously to the appeal for
aid for Chicago, and the Mayor of Lon
don acknowledges the receipt of a mul
titude of small donations, In addition
to a total of 23,COO pounds already report
ed for London alone. Liverpool and other
cities are rapidly swelling tho amount.
The amount contributed for tho iclief of
Chicago by Americans in Paris is 131,055

the Tenth National Hank, which tho Mail
says is owned by tho ring.
Controller Green again demands the
pay-rolls of tho Department of Parks.
He says that over $8,000,000 have been
expanded illegally during the seventeen
months of the present rulers of that de
partment, and concludes by reminding
Judge Hilton, the treasurer of said do
partment, that tho now charter provides
that lie shall report to the Controller
w henever the latter dosirev Hilton had
previously denied the right ot tho Con

to call him to account.
The Sun charges Judgo Led with with

Vera Items.
The past season has been one of u very
singular nature as pertains to tho growth
of crops in Poru. When the farmers
sowed their soed in the spiing, the pros·
poet was that Mother Earth would pro
duce bountifully. A greater amount of
land was sowed to grain than for several
years past, and tho producers thought
that if the season should lut favorable
their labors would bo rewarded ton-lold;
but, alas! their hopes bave to an extent
been blasted, yet an average harvest litis
been stored in the storehouses of the la
boring classes ol this town. The hay
crop is of good quality, though not so
much in quantity as lust year. The crop
oi corn I think will average among the
corn crops lor several years past, though
many fields were injured by the grass
hoppers. The manner in which they
managed to destroy this crop, in many
eases, was to alight upon tho tender silks
as they came from the stock aud eat them
off, so that tho seed could not torm on
the cob, and consequently every t (tody in ι horrible
manner. Mr. 1*. was a'jout twenty five
ye irs old.

We are pained to learn of the death of
your Andover correspondent, L. R. Ilall.
He died the l:Uh inst., witii small pox.
The Cattle Fair at Dixfield was :i "pure
agricultural horse trot," as Josh Hillings
would say. The address of James S.
Wright, was :ιι■ ably written and well de·
livered eftort. Brother Dunham was
present, as usual, and displayed line
grapes, a choice variety of potatoes, iiome
othere garden productions, and squash
enough in one shell for a whole county.
The Secretary will report to you more
fully. I would have done so but for that
fact. Spaukkh.
