ASSAULT OS JUDGE FISHER.
The old quarrel between Judge Fisher and '
Joseph II. Bradley, broke out anew the other
day in an assault upon the former, in Wash- j
legion. Judge Fisher, who lias recently en
tered upon the duties of District Attorney, *
was passing toward his office, wiien Joseph H.
Bradley met him, and it is alleged, after say
ing. “Xoar, Sir,” or ‘ Now. then," dealt him a
heavy blow with an ordinary walking stick.
Mr. Bradley then closely approached Judge
Fisher, when the latter threw out his foot,
tripping Mr. Bradley, who fell heavi
ly to the pavement, dragging Judge Fisher
with him, the two rolling over together. At
this juncture several parties interfered, sep
arating the heiigereots and conducting them
to their respective offices Judge Fisher's
ear was slightly cut by the fall and his
shoulder was sornew hat hurt. The police,
after considarahlt difficulty ptr-uaded the
crowd to disperse. Charles Fisher, having
learned of the occurrence, declarred his pur
pose Jo resent the assault upon his father, and
started fur Mr. Bradley's office in the second
story of the building at the corner, but was
prevented by the crowd from entering, and
after considerable persuasion by his father and
friends was induced to withdraw. The crqwd
at one time became so great—every one ar
riving on the ground asking for particulars—
that Mr. Fiaher came out and appealed to them
to leave, saying that no one had been hurt and
he ahoiild not attack any one. Mr. Bradley
lutd meditated the settlement of the long
standing difficulty with Mr. Fisher when
ever the latter should leave the bench for
the AUorney-sliip, and thereupon took the
first opportunity that was presented since that
change.
TREATMENT OF INSANE MURDER
‘ ERS.
The treatment of insane murderers is re
ceiving a good deal of consideration at the
present time, chiefly we presume on ac
count of the result in the McFarland trial.
Here js ft man adjudged insane by a jury,
and in consequence acquitted of the crime
for which he was tried, and as soon as the
trial is over lie is turned loose uj*ou the
community, if he be insane should he be
allowed to £q at large, is tlfe question
which naturally arises. Having comniit
niit Usd one murder on account of his de
niugcmcut, may he not commit another
for the tame reason, and why should he
not l>a subjected to at least as much re
straint as other insane who hav e perpetra
ted fto murder w violence ?
Governor Alcorn, of Mississippi, in a late
special mowsage to the legislature of that
srat*!, disrtiMca thi- subject and recom
mends that such criminals, before being
arraigned for a criminal trial, He brought
before a tribunal ordered for the purpose
ot judging of their sanity or insanity, and
if at this tribunal such criminals are deci
ded to be sane persons, such a judgment
shall be a bar against the plea of insanity
being brought in by the defense at the
criminal trial, and lie shall be recognized
as sane, ami as hat ing been so at the time
of the alleged murder. On the other hand,
if the prisoner having committed the hom
icide is adjudged as having done the deed
in a fit or state of insanity, then the court
-hall order him to be confined in a lunatic
asylum, and in that department of the
juihling assigned to tlie "dangerous in
•anc,” and the length of the term of con
finement shall be according as the circum
stances attending the homicide shall ap
pear to have been more or less aggrava
ted.

old enough. Then I will have six votes.
Now these good-for-nothing women who have
fooled their time away, and never raised a sin
gle boy, come around and want every woman
to vote for herself. 1 don’t believe in such
, nonsense. I have raised my six boys, and 1
am going to have every one vote for me.
Those women who go lecturing around the
I country instead of raising boys, have no busi
ness to vote any way.”
As R proof that some knowledge of the
French language is necessary in travelling
abroad, the following story is told of an un
lucky Englisman ill l’aris, who dill not know
one word of the polite tongue : “Seating him
self in a restaurant, he pointed to the first
article on the bill of fare, and the polite wait
er brought him a fragrant plate of beef-soup.
When it was despatched be pointed to the sec
ond line. The waiter brought him a vegeta
ble soup. ‘Kather .more soup than 1 w ant,’
bethought; ‘but it is the Paris fashion.’ He
duly pointed to the third line, and a plate of
tapioca broth was brought him. Again to the
fourth, and was furnished with a bowl of prep
aration of arrow-root. He tried the fifth line
and was supplied with some gruel kept for in
valids. He determined to get as far from the
soup ns possible. He pointed, in despair, to
the last article on the bill of fare. The wait
er politely handed him a bunch of toothpicks !
This was too much ; the Finglishman paid bis
bill and left." Kather overdrawn, to be sure,
but the point is well taken.

A contributor to the Oxford Register, says
the town of Buckfield, if its history could be
written, would present a case of extraordin
ary historical interest. It was first settled
some years after the close of the French and
Indian war, when we were colonies of Eng
land. Twenty of the soldiers in that war art
now known to have been among its first set
tlers. They represented the battles at the
scige ami taking of Lewisburg on Cape Bre
ton, under the command of Sir Wm. l’ep
pcrell, of Kittery, in York county, ot Fort
Wm. Henry when the horrible massacre took
place by the French and Indians ; of Abraham's
Plains before Quebec, under the command of
Gen. Wolfe, and at Gen. Braildock's Defeat
under Col. Washington, when the British
officer was slain. The average age of these
veterans at their death was eighty-four. At
the close of the Revolutionary war it is now
known that eightv-eight of these veterans set
tled in the town, and nine-tenths of its present
population are their descendants. Their aver
age ages were eighty years. The youngest
was forty-six, and the oldest one hundred and
five. They represented every battle of the
Revolution, from Bunker Hill to Yorktown.
In the war of 1812 a full company of volun
teers under the command of Capt David Bry
ant was raised in the town, every member of
which was the son of a Revolutionary soldier.
The town was the first in the State that nomi
nated Gen. Jackson for President at a public
meeting of Democrats at the old Academy
Hall (now Morrill & Moore’s store) on the 19th
of April, 1828. L*pon polling the house vote
stood 198 for Jackson and 5 for Adams. This
meeting gave the first great impulse to the
cause in Maine. At the Presidential election 1
on the .'Id day of November following, the vote
stood 190 for Jackson, and 71 for Adams. Of
those that voted for Jackson, 2.7 are now liv
ing in the town, and 5 of those that voted for
Adums. This shows that forty-two years since
this election occurred, is a large segment in
the circle of life.
_
To the village of Weld an immense quantity !
of white birch and poplar wood was hauled
during last winter. This wood is now being
worked up by the different manufactories at
the village, the most important of which is the
Spool Factory, owned by Messrs. Austin &
Sanborn. They use birch only in the manu
facture of their spools. They have, piled up
in the vieinity of their factory. 950 cords of
this wood, which they will workup into spools
during the year. They already have con
tracts for the next two months. This wood
costs SJ.ou delivered. 6>o this tactorv puts
into the hands of the farmers nearly 83500 for
wood alone, and that of a kind considered
there almost worthless for ordinary purposes.
They employ, on an average about eighteen
men, running six sets of machinery with a ca
pacity for turning out about "00 gross per
day, in sizes varying from 15 to 500 yards
each. They have a small water-power com
bined with sufficient steam power. In addi
tion to this factory there are several other
wood manufactories in the village, using in
all nearly a thousand cords of poplar and
brown ash. Mr. Eliab Foster is using the
latter in considerable quantities in the manu
facture of butter tubs by machinery as arc also
Messrs. Stoekbridge & Houghton. l’orter
Ladd is engaged in making salt boxes, al
though now at work upon a contract for 81,
000 worth of scythe boxes. H. W. Foster &
Co. also have about 300 cords of poplar to
make into salt boxes. B. It. llollins has com
menced operations for manufacturing excel
sior on quite an extensive scale. We glean
the above from the Farmington Chronicle.
Rev. I)r. Thurston of Searsport, Secretary
of the Maine Missionary Society, reports that
140 of the 34‘J Congregational churches of this
State receive charitable aid. The Society's
expenses for the year are $15,000; receipts
since last year only $4,600, less than two
fifths of the appropriations already made to
the churches. The Secretary earnestly ap
peals to those who love the cause and desire
the materia! as well as religious prosperity of
Maine to aid without delay.
The Oxford Democrat says the Grand
Trunk Hailway Company arc working the
granite quarry near Bryant l'ond this season,
and arc getting out some very fine dimension
stone. Eighteen men are employed, in all.
M. H. Jacobs has charge of the quarrying and
cutting, and J. B. Currier does the black
smithing. The stone is to be used for build
: ing bridges where the late '‘washouts” have
occurcd along the line of the road.
The Paris Hegister says Mr. S. Porter
; Stearns, one of the most extensive wool
growers in Paris, wintered the past seuson
two hundred sheep and lost but one. Twenty
of his fat wethers were sold for mutton in the
Portland market for the good round sum of
two hundred dollars, prom one hundred anil
eight lambs only four were lost. This ex
hibits a most extraordinary case of good luck
or good husbandry, or both, in shrt-p raising.
The Cumberland Bone Company have leased
i a portion of the Kerosene Works at Ligonia
and are now moving their machinery, 4c., to
their new location. The grinding ot the ma

mill at Duck Pond, til! they get established in
I their new place.
The Bangor Whig says the Village of
Vanceboro’ has grown lip like a mushroom,
and bids fair to be one of the most enterpris
ing and lively places in the State. A private
letter from W. H. Luce, says it is hoped ere
long that "we shall have the cars through to
Bangor, and then we shall have a post office
of our own. as we have quite a town. One
year ago now, there were only two camps
here; now we have on the American side,
Shaw Bros.’ Tannery, a hotel, a school house
30 by GO feet with hall overhead, t w t IW) -three
dwellings, two stores, and another store and
several houses in process of construction. On
the English side are several stores and houses,
and I tegret to say eight or nine rum shops.’
We learn from the Whig that lust Tuesday
morning, the barn and sheds in Etna owned
by Mr. Enoch Boynton, were totally destroyed
by fire, together w ith a large quantity of hay
and grain. The house was saved, through the
efforts of the neighbors and the employes of
Hathorn's mill, who stopped work and at once
came to the assistance of Mr. Boynton.
The Progressive Ago says the office of Dep
uty Collector at Stockton, which was discon

The Reporter says that at the meeting of the
Gardiner City Council last Wednesday even
ing it was voted to give Heath Encampment,
G. A. 11., of that city, the sum of $30. to aid
in defraying the expenses of Memorial Day.
Kcv. J. M. Payne has accepted the invitation

church of Canton.
Since January 1st, 1870, one thousand, nine
hundred and thirty-six deeds and mortgages
have been registered at the Penobscot Regis

This does not include foreclosures.
