Feeble Mind and Vandalism. Vandalism at any time is a most despicable crime, with no penalty adequate to fit it, for in nearly all cases it is the work of a feeble mind, suffering from hal lucinations of imaginary wrongs. The writer came to Winslow a stranger only a few days ago, and purchased the Winslow Mail 'som Messes. Burbage and Durand, both estimable gentle men, who treated us with the greatest courtesy and considera tion, which will long remain a pleasant memory. We took pos session of the office Monday afternoon, and that same night an individual, unscrupulous and devoid of any of the instincts of honest manhood, entered the office, damaged the new paper press and power shafting with the hellish cunning of one who knew what to do, ruined a type writer by tearing loose every at tachment that operates the keys, pied several cases type, and as the crowning glory of his iniquity destroyed completely our list of Winslow subscribers. The dam age will probably amount to near $20000 besides the trouble and inconvenience. Had the Sub scription list not been destroyed no mention of the dirly work would have been made. We will mail papers to such names as we can obtain, but many no doubt will be missed. Those who fail to receive copies should notify the office at once, as we will have extra papers to supply them. We regret the occurance, not so much for the inconvenience or monetary loss, but the unfavor able impression our first edition is liable to leave in the minds of the people of the city. But it is the little vexatious things of this character that adds more deter mination to our efforts to succeed. These lines are penned more as an apology for not bringing out a more presentable paper as an initial number, than venting our spleen on the misguided culprit who could stoop to such despic able conduct.
