Mr. Temploton's "gallant grey," became tlr-! *d of the monotony of plowing on the Blue Hill,and thought he would exercise himself] with an evenings airing. He came tearing) through the town, and, anxious to hear the) news, he took up the railroad track to meet j the incoming train, but having no air brakes on, he was unable to check his speed and fell J Into the trestle, and was removed just before i the train passed without receiving any sr-I rlous damage. Possibly he may have been] like the bull that wantedjto butt the engine off* the bridge, to which we say wc admire his I pluck but censure hlsjudgment. To Candidates nnd Others.

The Commission created by an net of the' last session of the Legislature for the investigation of alleged cruelties practiced upon convicts by the tireenwood and Augusta Itallroad, is now in session In this place.

I showed tlx*article to my informant |fcefoie transmitting it to the Press and IJaimrv and usUcd him if the case was over-slated add he promptly replied in the negative, adding other facts which for prudential reasons 1 <l:d not state. He is a gentleman of truth and r his identity can he furnished In an hour. No assertions were made under a fictitious name as alleged by the Commissioner. A moie dangerous idea to the true spirit of institu- ^ tional government does not permeate the < official atmosphere than that the creature of r power is independent of the power that, made * him: a rehabilitation of the old monarchial 3 maxim, "The ICing can do no harm." Asil long as the air Is free from Maine to the Gulf 1 so long will the press be free and the most .1 miserable "scribbler" that "scribbles'* for 1 the most insigniilcaut sheet should not fail 1 to scribble about officials In a spirit of truth I nnd fairness, if it is an encomium, or commendation. officials do not regard newspaper scribblers with precisely the same contempt, even if the official does not try his own hand at. "scribbling" for n newspaper. The official "scribbler" in this instance, as is the general public, is no doubt pleased with the statenientof the 2Vm and Banner, that chimneys have been put to the l'oor Jlouse, that the w indows have been tilled with glass. ( and that the building has been whitewashed ; and otherwise made comfortable. I should ] not have again referred to thift matter, but I ' ir.nm ii vliimlc iiisiicc to tiivselfaiid Inform- , nut that the readers of the 7Vm and Unnntr I regard the two communications as the most complete confirmation of what was stated, notwithstanding l)r. McBrlde's pUusible attempt t?> divert public attention from the question of ventilation. There was evidently no ventilation, as there was no building to ventilate, for a frame without glass, without chimneys, smoked, with leaky stove pipes, can't be called a house any more than j a handle can be properly called an axe.

Notwithstanding ? valine of the interests involved in the use, the force ami ability of the arguments counsel ami the mass ot authority cited in pport of them mid the Impossibility ofi examining and considering them'in thei ort period of time allowed for that pur- | M- before tlio sale, it appears tome to tie; ce.vary and proper that Judgment should i announced before the sale.
