The excavator employed in deepening and
widening the river’s channel, was movi d up
stream on Thursday, and is now engaged mi a
fortnight’s job nearly opposite tiie railroad
company’s paint shop. Gen. Thom was in
the city on Thursday, an 1 ordered this
“change of base,” the channel having In cxi
perfected at the point where the machine lias
hitherto been operating this season.
The whole day Saturday in court was de
voted to the trial of the criminal docket.
State v8. John Welch, single sale, verdict
guilty. State vs. the same, for same offence,
nob pros’d. State vs. the same, search and
seizure, verdict guilty. State vs. Levi Apple
ton, search and seizure, verdict not guilty.
State vs. Hiram S. James, common drunk
ard, verdict not guilty. These cases were all
brought up by appeal from the Police Court
of Gardiner, and were defended hy I.. (’ ay
Esq. Very little remains now to be tried on
the criminal list except the capital case.
The civil docket will he resumed this morn
ing. Enough cases have been assigned, and
notice given to the attorneys, to occupy the
court the next two weeks.
A new firm has been formed in Market
square, at the old stand of Mitchell Harmon,
by two enterprising and capable young men,
who have recently become residents of our
city, Mr. 11. A. 11. Chandler and Mr. A. li.
lloardman. They intend to get a full sup
ply of fresh groceries and will offer them at
prices that will not remind the public of the
late rebellion in this country, hut which will
atl'nrd a narrow margin for profit to the seller
and good bargains to the buyer. Our young
men, in taking hold of business matters for
themselves, especially when they are worthy,
should receive the encouragement of a gen
erous patronage, lly helping the young men
to a prosperous business we are keeping them
at home notwithstanding the invitations held
out to them from other States.
The first anniversary of the Capital Guards
was celebrated on 1'rid ay afternoon, accord
ing to the published programme. Several
pleasant little features were connected with
tho occasion not laid down in the order of ex
ercises. Just before starting out on their
street parade, the company were drawn up in
line under “order arms” with ranks opened to
tho right and left, when Mr. C. 11. Morton
stepped forward and in a brief but appropriate
speech presented Capt. Wyman with a hand
some sabre, costing $50, the gift of the com
pany. The captain was taken altogether by
surprise, but received tbe gift with grace and
dignity. The company then marched to Gran
ite Hall to receive the gift of a handsome silk
banner, a present from the ladies, and costing
$75. A very pretty presentation speech was
made by Mrs. Miller of this city, which was
responded to by the captain. \Y itli the na
tional banner upraised the company paraded
through our principal streets, led by the Gar
diner Hand, making a very fine appearance.
Too company went through somo very ditB
cult evolutions on Court square, where a dress
parade was had. In the evening the company
gave a grand military ball at Granite Hall
which the boys pronounce a success. About
seventy-five couples participated. Music
was furnished by Berry’s Band of four pieces,
and a good supper provided by Mr. II. Hart.
Temperance Meeting In hardincr.
1 he Grand Division of the .Sons ol Tem
pi ranee closed its session in Gardiner with a
i public temperance meeting in Johnson Hull
Thursday evening. The unfavorable state of
the weather prevented a full attendance, al
though some TOO p- r-ons were present. -
Hun. Joshua Gray called the meeting to
ord.-r and nominated Hon. John Berry as
: President of tl.c evening. Mr. Berry apolo
gize d lor the unavoidable absence of two of
the >p -aker> v\ ho h d !»» en announced — Hon.

thought that t*» draft our young men to fight
on the battle-field, a terrible thing, but the
draft demanded by intemperance was still j
worse. The draft upon us by the death of;
OdU drunkards annually is constantly made j
good by new recruits, which come from the
ranks of moderate drink* rs. Here lies our
danger. We have accomplished much
already — perhaps halt our work. We n ed

become convinced that a prohibitory law is;

want a better public sentiment to back it.
We want more active work in churches and
temperance organizations or we shall go back
wards. We certainly n* ed what law.", we have
and a better enforcement of them. Let us use
the means we now have to execute these laws,

The statement eiti^isiicly published in the

Such an event could but be the result o:
crime, the authority of which should be out

Metz cheeks its efforts. The troops surren
dered at Metz have been disarmed. The Prus
sians refused to parole the officers because of
General Dncrat s evasion of his obligations,
it i« said that 40.000.0Q0 francs and 3,000 guns
fell into the hands of the Germans by the ca
pitulation. Provisions arrive in htrge quan
tities at Metz.
The I.arthc Union publishes a report, that
in tlie vicinity of Paris, a hand of Frane
Tireurs nearly captured the King ..t Prussia,
who only escaped by precipitate flight.
A baloon wliich left Paris on the 27th, fell
