It is one ot the most Im portant roads In the State of New York. It short ens the route from New York City to Buffalo 70 miles,aud to Oswego 45 miles, It traverses a populous district destitute of other" railroad facilities, which must furnish 1C a large and profitable local busi ness; and it will be completed at an aggregate cost far below that ot any competing line. These advan tages cannot tail to make it one ot the best paying roads leading from tie meFropoIis, and Its Tlfht Mortgage Bonds one of the salest securities 'ever is sued. All mortgage bonds issued on railroads run uing from the City of New York are good, and the interest promptly paid, although some of them are mortgaged for more than double the amount per mile that the Midland is. Among the bonds now offering we know of none equal to these. For the investment of trust or other funds there is nothing better; and iu exchange for Government Bonds they give a large increase ot income, besides capital izing the premium.

A good index ot the prosperity and wealth oi the country through which this road passes may be found in Trie fact that the Company reports over a million and a quarter dollars subscribed and ex pended by individuals residiug along the line in pushing one hundred and sixty miles of the work, and it is also a strong proof ot the local popularity and necessity for the roaJ.

Tribune concerning the event which is now passing in Portland we select a few paragtaphs. Our readers will pe ruse them with interest: Portland, Jan. 2d. I do not suppose that anything was ever done so well anywhere that Boston was uot confident that she could do it a great deal better; and it is not surpris ing, therefore, that the choice of Portland as a landing-place or the remains of Mr. Pea body has awakened in the Metropolis of American Intellect a lever of noble anger. Mr. Peabody, to he sure, did not love Boston; he left it iu wrath at what he considered in sulting treatment from the Board of Trade, and declared that he would never visit it again. To make him break bis promiee by going there in his coffin, would seem like tak ing unfair advantage of a man; but Boston, lor all that, has been very anxious that the funeral should be mixed up some how or an other with the Common, and the State House, and the Big Elm, partly because Boston has a real reverence for Mr. Peabody’s memory, as she has for all good and charitable worns, and partly bt cause she is jealous of the reputa tion of her harbor. I have no intention of speaking disrespect fully, but there arc some indications of a small quarrel o,er tbe coffin. It is reported here that the Boston people—meaning, I sup pose, the people of Salem and Peabody—are determined that though Portland has the ship, Portland shall not have the funeral; in other words, that the ceremonies lor which such elaborate preparations have been made shall be cut short, and no more time spent in this city than may be absolutely necessary to transfer the coffin from the vessel to the cars. The final decision rests with Sir. George Pea "umkrstood that Mr. T^l*'Vi 1* i‘-*lTih, relatives are averse to all display over his re^ mains, and that the pilot who is now waiting off the coast for the luneral fleet bears letters, not from them perhaps, but from prominent persons in Boston and elsewhere, urging Mr. Bussell to push through without delay to Peabody. Portland awaits the result, with some anxiety, of course, bat with the calm confidence w hich arises from a good cause. The City Hall has been elaboiately decorated lorthe ljing-in-state; excellent preparations have been made tor an imposing ceremonial. A handsome luneral car—a sort of cata falque on wheels—has been prepared to draw the coffin to the City Hall. Eight horses, cov ered with funeral trappings, will be harnessed to It. I shall spare you a description of this part of the pageant, for such things are pret ty much alike all the world over; 1 need only say that it is rich, handsome, and very taste lul. I ought not to let the arrangement of the City Hall, however, pass without a word. In the first place it is a very elegant hall, big enough and costly enough lor a city ten times Portland’s size. The decorations are quite unlike ordinary upholsterer’s work. They have been put up under the direction ot Mr. H. B. Brown, the landscape painter, and I can say not only that they are better than anything of the kind I ever saw betore, but they are the only luneral draperies I ever saw in which there was no tinsel, nothing tawdry, no hint of theatrical effect. I should have mentioned that the room is a very high one. Away up over the gallery three wide doors open into an upper corridor of the building, anti behind those open doors, concealed by a thin black veil, will be a choir of 300 voices, and an orchestra of 25 instru ments—the excellent Haydn Association of Portland, and the Germania band of Boston. When the coffin is deposited in the hall the ceremonies will be very short. This choir will smg the Prayer from “Moses,” and some selections Irom “The Messiahthere will no doubt be a prayer or so, and then the lying in state will begin. There will be no formal ad dress. A military guard will be set over the remains as long as they rest here, which will be a day or perhaps two days, and during that time the people will be freely admitted. Then a second procession will bear the coffin to the special train prepared by the Eastern and the Portsmouth, Saco and Portland Kail roads. So the New York Legislature is not com ing. Thank the Lord tor that! The proprie tor of the Falmouth Hotel, however, is disap pointed. He had been led to behave that a committee from Albany was always good lor $5000 worth of champagne and brandy. Idler from Oxford County. Norway, Jan. 25,1870. '1 o the Editor of the Press: The viilage of Norway is favorably situated for carrying on business of various kinds, it being on the line, or nearly so, of the Grand Trunk Bailroad, and at the outlet of the Pen nesseewassee pond, furnishing almost a con tinuous water power for about a mile. This pond is six miles long and about a mile wide, supplying water in abundance for running double the amount of machinery now being carried by it. Norway village has some six or eight stores and is the centre of trade for the i towns of Oxford, Otislield, Hanson andWater ford. There are but few very wealthy men in town although there are quite a number who rank among the upper tendom. Among the wealthiest men of the town is E. F. Ileal Esq., who was one of the early settlers o the town and a large land owner. He hat over 200 acres of land, now the centre of thi S village, wnich he improues to good advantage cutting 00 or 70 tons of hay a year. He has i barn 104 feet long, keeps 35 head of neat stock among which are some excellent Jersey cows His son, George Beal, resides near him, but is at present carrying on no business, but a younger son is extensively engaged in manu facturing clothing. Mr. Beal and Mr. Mark P. Smith have re cently laid an aqueduct from Pike’s hill at an expense of $1,800, which supplies an abun dance of water for the. village. flour mill. Messrs. A. G. Parsons Co. have recently put in operation a flour mill, which is said tc be, in some respects, one of the best in the State. It has four ruu of stones, and turns out forty barrels of flour a day, besides doing a good share of the custom business tor a largt section cf country. Several cf the Chase wheels have been put in, which give excellent satisfaction. There is on the same dam a saw mill which does an extensive business. WOOLEN MILL. Messrs. \Y. A. Barrel! Co. have recentl; i. leased the woolen mill owned by Williau Deering, Esq. and others, which has been en larged by tae addition of 20 feet in length,am almost entirely rcmoddled. They are nov manufacturing a superior article of repellants of which they are getting out 2,200 yards week. They have two sets of machinery am 18 looms, besides the usual apparatus for dye ing, finishing, Ac. Mr. Barrel! was lor sever al years paymaster in the Bates’ mill at Lew iston, and understands every department o the business and gives it his personal atten tion. The goods are sold by Messrs. Deering Milliken Co., of vour citv. wood run* manufactory. The Manufacturing of wood pulp is a new branch of business in tliis country and if i proves to be what is claimed for it, there wil he no want of paper stock in the future a: there has been in the past. The commoi white poplar, which abounds in our forests, i converted into excellent paper stock by thi: new process, a cord producing a tun and half of pulp. The building which is 02 by 4( was erected by Capt. Jonathan 11 lake, and ha been leased by Mr. Caton, and the pulp is us ed mainly by Messrs. Brown Dennison, c North Yarmouth. The wood is sawed int< blocks, one foot long, and then split into smal pieces which arc put into a tank of wate where they are allowed to remain until wel soaked. They are then kept pressed upon rapidly revolving grindstone until reduced t a fine powder which is mixed with water am torms the pulp. This pulp passes over roller r the same as in the manufactory of paper, un til it is formed in sheets of about the consist rncyof blotting paper, in which shape it i boxed up and sent to market. OTHER MANUFACTORIES. t. Messrs. Ames Nevers are manufactutiuj Pianafortes and Melodian keys at the lowe falls. They are supplying some ot the leadini manufactories of the country. A Clothes Pii Manulactory has recently been put in opera lion. MatkS. Smith, Esq. sawed 800,000 shingle last year besides carryiug on a grist and pla= ter mill, and being extensively engaged in th 1. corn and flour trade. A Shovel Handle Manufactory is about t be put in operation capable of doing a larg business.

Latest fbosi Judge Hoab.—The Wash ington correspondent of the Boston Post has lately “interviewed” Attorney-General Hoar, who said, according to bis report: “If ibe Senate does not act on my nomination, the President will not send to that body tbe name of any other gentleman for that place, cr lor tbe judgeship made vacant by tbe death of Mr. Stanton. As 1 understand if, the com mittee have reported tbe latter without tec commendation, and it is expected by the President and myself that a vote will be had either confirming or rtjecting the nomina tion. It rejected, other nominations will be made at once. It is asserted that some one in tbe District, or farther South, has been se lected. The President and myself searched that entire portion of the country for a man. All the most competent lawyers had served in tlie rebellion, and the President would not sign his name to the nomination of several whom I presented to him, and declared that lie would have to name some one from the ioyal States. He pressed me to accept the nomination; I consented, and there tbe mat ter rests. In regard to the case of Judge Pearce, it seems the committee are holding back his name on the ground that Congress will redistrict the circuit, and in that case Judge Pearce will be in the Pennsylvania and Maryland circuits, and that some one from Virginia or further South would have to be named for the circuit he (Judge Pearce,) is now nominated for. I Mil IMI iniuiis very uauiy particularly the one embracing Texas^Plon^ da, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, etc. This is the one for which Judge Woods of Alaba ma lias been appointed, aud in going over his circuit he will have to pass, as it were, over a continent. I hold that the views ol some of the Southern Senators in my case is without cause, for some of them informed me at the time the circuit judgeships were under con sideration that it was really almost impossible to say who were the proper and most fit men in their sections to recommend, and, there fore, it was still more difficult to find a proper person for the supreme bench. I have no idea of resigning my position in the cabinet if I am not confirmed for the judgeship. I re main in the cabinet at the earnest request of the President.” Tlir Torundo—Destruction nl Cave City, Kentucky. The Louisville Commercial publishes a de cidedly agonizing account of “The Desolation of the Cyclone, and Horrors of the March of the Demons of the Air,” otherwise the torna do a few days ago at Cave City. We quote as follows: About half-Dast four the down train having passed some time, a distant roaring or rever berating sound was heard approaching from the South and West. Those who heard it compare it with the sharp, loud roar of a can non discharged, which lasted but a few mo ments, when the wind monster swept over the doomed town, and left destruction where peace and quiet was nestling around. The ap proaching cyclone shrieking, whistling, roar ing on the ground in a dense, black cloud, ac companied by sharp, loud, elecrical discharges, while, preceding the demon of the storm, balls of fire burst and flew from its front, while within it, continually curling and vibrating with a terrible individuality, were pyra mids of electric spirals, all forming a terrible cloud ot such peculiar spiratory motion that it appalled the spectator.— Professor Williams, a most intelligent and scholarly gentleman,observed it trom bis win dow on its approach, and says that it moaned and shrieked as it tore along the ground with an unearthly sound. Before it reached the town, the air grew warm and thick with im pending misfortune, the flashing of the light ning becamo one constant illumination, and suddenly all grew dark again. The demon of the winds, in the form of this dense, dark cloud, hugging the earth, came sweeping on with a terrible roar, aud in a moment com menced its wild work of destruction. Strik ing J. H. Brown’s house, in wh eh were him sell anu larn.iy, iu a twinKling it scattered it piecemeal, injuring no one bat Mr. Brown himself. In iront of bis bouse was a timber growth of red oak, post oak, black jack, and hickory, many of the trees measuring lrom ten to twenty inches in diameter, which tbe storm wrenched up by the roots, twisted into fantastic shapes, splintered and threw down again, carrying bodily an hundred feet many of these huge riven trunks, and sweeping tba ground after it as with a gigantic besom, car rying like chaff heavy p'ank tearing hundreds ot yards, strewing for miles, indiscriminately, the little hills with tbe debris and sbreda of house, and barn, and fence, leaving nothing to mark where either stood, but here and there a few slats with lime adhering to them, and splitrails driven into tbe ground; a nursery be longing to Messrs. Huggins Son, numbering, thousands of young peach trees, was whipped into smooth, bare little switches, their lringed tops showing how complete and entire tbe wind had shorn them of every vestige of foli age, and how biting had been tbe searching wind. Scorning such a game, tbe torBado leveled tbe timber right and left of the Bowl ing Green turnpike, strewing the road with shapeless heaps and confused piles of large and small trees, carried bodily into and over each other, as a child might fling a handful of crushed and broken wisps of straw to the winds. [Although the “Demons of tbe Air” have subsided, the writer is supposed to be still go ing on 1] Deported Insanity or the Murderer Lawrence.—Lawrence, who has been com mitted to jail in Bangor lor the murder of Mrs. Atwood, shows indications of insanity. He asserts that he has little or no recollection of events which have transpired daring the last three weeks. To a question pat to him, iu connection with tbe bloody affair, he replied that he had “no knowledge or recollection of the incident,” and told his counsel that he did not recollect of having an “interview” with any one upon the subject of tbe assassination. He is not now so desirous to put off this mor tal coil as he was on the night of tbe murder. Then he begged tbe physician to let him die, and even alter hi9 wound bad been dressed, be implored tbe officer iu charge to lend him bis knile, that be might re-open his wound, and put himself at rest. Lawrence is to be de fended by able counsel. In addition to Qeo. F. Godfrey, Esq., Col. Abner Knowles has i been retained by the friends of the prisoner. Those who ought to know, assert that he has 1 been tampered with and instructed to “play r his part" by one of his fellow-prisoners, who it an adept at this sort ot jugglery. It seems that Lawrence was placed iu tbe I cell once occupied by one Captain Weutwortb. Wentworth was committed some two months ago, upon a United States warrant, on tba charge of ravishing the person of a young girl—a passenger on-his own vessel, ou tba 1' high seas—tbe penalty of which is death. Bis trial will take place in Portland at tbe April term. Wentworth, it is said, has had Law rence in training, and hopes to bring out a first-class lunatic. To counteract this influ ence, or in other words, to test the mental con dition of Lawrence, it is in contemplation to send him to the Insane Asylum, at Augusta, to be examined thoroughly by the exparts of that institution. Lawrence’s physician here pronounced him sane, but is not nverse to hav ing him examined by others of more extended inforqiation upon this special point. 1 A Crow Drowned by a Clam.—The Cam- <lea Herald says the following is said to ba a true story, the occurrences having boen wit f nes3ed by two old 'citizens of Camden, John i Welch and a Mr. Sherman, the latter since t deceased. It took place some years ago and is related by Capt. John E Dailey. One *um j mer Mr. Sherman had a field of corn near Sherman's Cove, which the crows troubled 1 very much. One dsv when the two men 1 named above were in the field, they discovered 1 a crow which seemad to be stuck in tJe sand i on the beach. Comprehending the situation at once, they determined to await the result. The tide was coming in, and gradually over i whelmed Mr. Crow, who struggled hard to avoid his fate, but unsucces-fully. The men waited patiently till the tide receded, when they visited the shot and pulled np the carcass of the crow, with a large clam attached to his ituder jaw or bill! It appears that the crow, in his search for food, had seen the head of the clam sticking out of the shell and made a dive 1 tor it, bat the clam knew a trick worth two of that, and shut pan on his would-be destroyer. This is a solemn warning to crows!

The gallant gentleman who has so quietly and unostentatiously performed the duties incumbent upon him as the representative ol the United States in receiving the remains of George Peabody, deserves that we who are now honored by liis presume among us should have our memory of his achievements and his almost unequalled patriotic services refreshed. Nothing should be lacking in our appreciation of immortal deeds. We append «n interesting biography which we have no doubt will surprise most people by showing how long and intimately Admiral Farragut has been"associated with the American Navy and how inseparably his name is connected with Its most glorious successes. It was published by a New York journal last Octo ber when the Admiral was lying seriously ill in Chicago: Admiral David Glascoe Farragut was bom at Campbell’s Station, near Kuoxville, Tenn., on the 5th of July, 1801. Ilis lather seems to have been not altogether contented with a farmer’s lile iu that mountainous re gion, for not long after we hear ot him as a sailing master in the navy aud an intimate friend of the lather of Commodore David Poiter, who then held a similar rank. Young Farragut inherited his lather's love for the sea, aud though brought up so tar inland, among the Cumberland mountains, he had haid y reached the age ol nine and a hall years when the longings lor a sailor’s lite pos sessed him so strongly that bis father consent ed, and alter some little delay a midshipman’s berth was procured tor him. Jits first cruise was uuder tbe command ol Captaiu (then master commandant) Porter, wlio, in July, 1812, was promoted to the rank of Captaiu and soon alter sailed in tbe Essex tor tbe South American coast and the Pacific. To this lamous nigaio tbe young midshipman was oidcred before her depanure, and he re mained on her thiough the evenilul two years that lol lowed, when she drove the Brit'sh commeiee outol the Pacific. When, on the ffilh 9t MWCil.lfH 1 Hin.lkifti'fri ‘ifctr OTlerub, twenty-eight guns, without scruple, attacked the Essex m the harbor ol Valparaiso in vio lation of the rights of a neutral nation, there ensued one ot the fiercest naval battles on tecord. Though fight ug against hopeless odds, the two British vessels having twice the number ol guns and men of the Essex, Com modore Pot ter, wiili the reckless daring which was so marked a trait in his character, re I used to strike the colors of his ship unlill she had hsen three or lour times on tire and was in a sinking condition, and her rigging shot away, the flames thieatening her magazine, and one hundred and filly-two out of two hundred and fitly five men killed, wounded or missing. The battle lasted two and a halt houis. The young midshipman Farragut was in the hot test of the fight, and was slightly wounded daring the action. Belore the loss of the Essex be had served as acting lieutenant on board the Atlantic, an armed prize. On his return to the United States commodore Porter placed him at school at Chester, Pennsylvania, where be was taught, among oilier studies, the elements Of military and naval tactics; but in 1810 he was again afloat and cn board the flag ship ol the Mediterranean squadron, where he bad good fortune to meet in the chaplain, Rev. Charles Polsom, au instructor, to whom he became ardently attached, and to whose teach ings he attributes much ot his subsequent tut u ness and success. The boy grown to man’s estate, after some lizrti er seivice in the Mediterranean, was, on the l*t of January, 1821, at the age or nine teen and a hall years, promoted to the rank Of lieutenant, and ordered to duty on the Weit India station. In 1824 he was assigned toduty in the Nor folk navy yard, and with tbe exception of a two yeais’ cruise in the Vandaiia, on the Bra ttt nation, remained at Noil'olk until 1833.— He married a lady ot a highly respeclabie Jamily, who died irom a hopeless physical malady, and he subsequently married another lady of Norfolk, Miss Virginia Loya l, the daughter of one of the most eminent citizens ol tuat city. The issue ot that marriage is a eon, who lately graduated at West Point, and Who bears the honorable name of Loyal! Far in 1833 Lieutenant Farragut was made ex ecutive officer (lieutenant commander) of the sloop of-war Naichez, and again oidcred to the Brazilian coast, and in 1838 transferred to the West India or home squadron. In 1841 he was commissioned as comman der, and ordered to the sloop-of-war Decatur, on the Brazil squadron. In 1842 he received three years’ leave of absence, and at its ex piration was again ordered to tbe Norfolk na vy yard, where he remained until 1847, when he look command ot tlie sloop-of-war {Sarato ga, of the home squadron. In 1850 he was again assigned to duty at Noriolk, where, in 1S51 he was appointed assistant chief ot ord nance. Alter serving in this capacity tor three years he was seut to California, in 1854, as commander ot the Mare Island navy yard. In 1855 he was commissioned captaiD; and from 1858 to May, I860, he was in command of the steam sloop-of-war Brooklyn, in tbe Home squadron. Duiiug all these years ot service Captain Farragut had been a 'diligent student, ever seeking the opportunity ot in creasing his proiecsionai and general knowl edge. He spoke with fluency and carreelness most of the languages of Europe as well as Turk ish and Arabic. In I860 he had spent nearly nineteen years afloat, eighteen years and four months on shore duty, and ten years and ten months either waitiug orders or on leave of absence Forty-eight years had been spuit ia the naval service. In April, 1801, came the rebellion. Captain Farragut was at home in Noriolk, surrounded by those who were sympathizing with the re hell'on, and who were alreadr matuiing plans for tbe seizrre of tbe government property, and its conversion to rebel uses. He was told he would not be allowed to live there, and on April 18,1861, he bade adieu to Norfolk. He secured a residence tor his lamilyon the Hud son river, New York, and repaired at once to Washington, and asked to be employed in the service of his country. When the government had resolved on the capture ot New Orleans, a squadron was fit ted out, and consisted ot a fleet of armed steamers and twenty bomb-sebooners, each carrying gigantic mortars throwing 15-inch shells. Selecting the Hartford as bis flag-ship, he sailed irom Hampton roads. The history of the capture of New Orleans Is a bright record in the annals of the war. On the 11th of July, the rank of Rear Ad miral having been created in accordance with the recommendation of a committee of Con gress, Captain Farragut was advanced to that rank and placed first on tbe list for his meri torious conduct. He also received the thanks ot both Houses ot Congress. In the autumn of 1862 he directed the na val attacks on Corpus Christi, Sabine Pass and Galveston, which resulted in the capture of those points. Eatly iD March, 1863, Gen. Grant, who was then engaged in his cam paign against Vicksburg, desired that Rear Admiral Farragut should force his way up the Mississippi with some of his most formi dable steamships and assault Vicksburg from below believing that such an assault would aid materially in its reduction. The success At «V.n __I .'a.:__ rn. -viug wui|/iric« xuu V to L CjuU blockading squadron, during all the time Admiral Farragut was in command Oi it, had more fighting and less prizes than any ether blockading squadron on the coast.

In tbe first week in April, 1365, Vice Ad mh-al Farragut visned Norfolk for the first time smee he left In 1361, and was welcomed to the city by a committee of the Loyal League. One year ago he visited with his Hag ship mostoi the principal ports n| Europe, and was received and feted by tbe crowned beads.

It al«o contains an illustrated paper on the weeds of Maine, the doing? of the Board at their October session at Orono and Bangor, and a valuable paper by the Secretary on “Clover as a fertilizer.” The Maine Farmer severely criticises that part of the Governor’s Address that relates to the Agricultural College. It says:—“Tbe lo cation of the college has been fought over and fixed—it must remain wherwit is or it fails to become wbat the industrial classes of Maine claim it must be. Let the town recede from its position, let tbe State, recognizing the college as the object of its care, give liberally for its wants, as making an investment that will pay back dividends of untold wealth and prosperi ty—then tbe location and future success of the institution are alike safe.” Always send your friend to Geo. \V.

the pbksr. __- Friday Morning, January 28, 1870. Portland and Vicinity New 4d,ertiiemcul> iliia D»t. SPECIAL NOTICE COLUMN. Cial tor $9.—Jae'tson high appreciation of the noble character oi the deceased, have united their efforts, in unison with the sentimentof tbewhole nation, to receive them with appropriate honors; and Whereas, The life of such a man furnishes an example ot one who by native intelligence, untiring industry and all honorable dealings with his fellow-men, succeeded in amassing immense wealth, and declining tbe titled hon ors which a sovereign would confer, emulated only and acquired that truest patent of Tioliil ty, the nobility of the soul which expanding with its wealth, led him to seek his best title to the respect and admiration of his cotempo raries, as well as all future generations in the pcrlormance ot noble and philanthropic deeds; and Whereas; in addition to great deeds of chari ty and philanthropy ral>road and at home and without any particular bias bv reason of edu cation or practical interest in the cause of sci ence, but incited to it by a clear perception of the importance of such knowledge to the on ward and upward progress of mankind, he has seen fit to create and endow educational col leges and scientific institutions with uuparal lelled munificence; Therefore Resolved, That the Portland Society of Nat ural History as the nominal representative in this city, of that science which he has done so much to promote and unade by reason of loca tion to be the first in this country to pay its humble tribute of respect and honor to his memory, have received with profound sorrow the intelligence of the death of George Pea body, and hereby desire to express its deep sympathy with tbe grief of bis immediate rcla e tives and of all scientific and literary as«ocia tions who mourn bis loss throughout the length e anil breadth of the land ,es?jVe^> That the Portland Society of Nat ural History accept tbe invitation of the city it authorities to attend and take part in the cere ■e monies attendant upon the reception of the remains of the late George Peabody; Resolved That a copy of these resolutions be d forwarded by the Secretary to the nearest rel ativeof the deceased, to the Trustees of the I Peabody Institute, and to other scientific as sociatmns in to is county and abroad with It which the Portland Society of Natural His tl tory holds correspondence. >t 0 Coal.—Attention is culled to tho advertise [t ment of Messrs. Jackson Eaton, who offer i a complete line of anthracite coals at low prices d delivered in any part of the city. Their coa r- elevator on High street wharf is a capital al fair for loading car9 with great dwpatch International Steamship Company.—The annual m—.ting of the stocltb-Mers of the To tcruatioii .l Steamship Company was held Wednesday. Tho following Board ot I>iree tors was elected: John B. Coyle, Samuel E. Spriug, T. C. Hersey, Henry B. Hart of Portland; A McL. Seeley of St. John, N. B. T. C. Hersey, Esq. was re-elected President and h! J. lobby, Esq. Secretary and Treas urer. The three Steamers are all iu good order and have made 203 passages during the year without any serious damage to them,although it has been the most perilous season ever known by this company. There has been no loss of life, nor any accident to any passenger. For the first time, through the efforts of this company steam communication has been kept open between Eastport and Calais, by the steamer Queen. Also from St. John to Wind sor, Pictou and Halifax by steamers to Annap olis and thence by rail. The winter steamer from the Provinces is bringing large quantities of fresh fish for the Boston and New York markets. The affairs of the company have been ably managed, and to the satisfaction of the stock holders. The second steamer will he put on the route sometime iu March. Female Pickpockets.—Yesterday afternoon a number of ladies on board a steamer return ing from a visit to the Monarch, found that they had been relieved of tbeir purses. Sus picion fastened upon two strange women on board and they were taken into custody, and on being searched considerable money was found on them but no port-monaies. These were afterwards found dropped in several parts of the vessel. When the steamer arrived at the wharl the women were handed over to the po lice, who took them to the station, and handed them over to “Mary,” the female attendant, for a more thorough examination. Their names have not been ascertained. One is about 25 years of age and tbe other apparently 30 or more. They are quite lady like in appearance, and sported splendid gold watches and chains, heavy gold bracelets and diamond rings. Concert.—Mrs. Jennie Jones and her music club, of Morrill’s Corner, gave a very pleasant concert at the Universalist Church in that place on Wednesday evening last. The audi ence was a very large one, and the varied pro gramme, consisting of muoic, and dialoglies proved highly entertaining. Miss Ada Cary, of Gorham, sister of Miss Anna Cary, thecan tatrice, now in Europe, displayed the rare qual ities of her fine voice, and Miss Etta Ring pre sided at the piano forte with great ability. Mrs. Jones has great reason to pride herself on the success of her concerts, which have fully sus tained her excellent reputation as a music teacher. W. Probable Stolen Team.—Last Saturday a man, accompanied by a woman and child, came to the American House with a hoise and sleigh, and put up, saying that he came from Yarmouth. Mr. Hodge, the landloid, sent the team to the stable of Mr. George Rose. Soon afterwards the man called and took tbe robe and harness and probably disposed of them, and in the evening took himself off together with tbe woman and child. The horse and sleigh still remain at Mr. Rose’s stable, and it is supposed they were stolen, or hired at Lew iston, as a team is understood to be missing from that city. To the Editor of the Treat: Sir:—In your impression of yesterday I ob serve that you mention that the captain of the steamer boarded by the Monarch off Montauk did not treat us with courtesy and give the in formation required. This is an error. Tbe captain did not perhaps heave to quite as quick as he might have done from not know ing what ships we were, but he gave every in formation to the boarding officer and was most perfectly courteous in every respect. Yours, faithfully, o jji. vu-uiuLniiLL., Captain H. M. S. Monarch. Annual Meeting of the Portland Glass Co.—The stockholders of the Portland Glass Company held their annual meeting Wednes day, and elected the following named gentle men as directors: John B. Brown, Eensalear Cram, Joseph Walker, Charles E. Jose, Geo. Brock. The Board is the same as that of last year, and has not as yet organized. The stockholders voted to increase the capi tal stock $100,000. Look out for Pickpockets.—In the crowd yesterday at Atlantic wharf landiog, waiting to go on board the fleet, three ladies bad their pockets picked, one of them losing $100, anoth er $40 and the third eight dollars. Attempts were made upon others, but, so lar as we could learn, without success. There is a gang of fin ished pickpockets among us, and people should be careful in going into crowds to leave their valuables in a safe place. Patents.—The following patents have been granted to citizens of Maine during the week euding January 23th: C. P. Kimball, Port land, sleighs; Charles W. Johnson, Richmond, carriage jack; O. S. Coffin, Harrington, lifter for kitchen use. M. C. M. A.—The Maine Charitable Mechan ic Association will join the funeral solemnities to George Peabody, and will hold a meeting to-morrow evening for the purpose of making all the necessary arrangements for the occa sion. ___ Divorce Cases.—On the docket of the Su preme Judicial Court, for this county, there are forty cases of divorce. Eight of them were entered at the present term—five by wives and three by husbands. The News. The marriage certificate of Albert D. Rich ardson and Mrs. Abby Sage has mysteriously disappeared from the office of vital statistics in New York, where it was filed on Saturday.— It will be replaced by a duplicate. A lady in New York discovered two burglars in her house Monday night. Seizing her hus band’s revolver, she fired two shots at them. The noise of the shots brought policemen to the scene and the burglars were arrested. The men employed in grading the Portland and Ogdensburg railroad at St. Jolinsbary are on a strike, because their wages have been re duced from $1.40 to $1.25 per day. Canadians are plenty, however, and the work goes on. Mrs. Evans Wilson, the Author of St. El mo,” was on the train which met with the re cent accident near Cleveland, Ohio, and was, it is feared, fatally injured. The appointment of Gen. Franz Sigel to an assessorship in New York is not a very gener ous recognition by the administration of his servioes and the German element in the party An Iiishman would have made the Democrat io party pay handsomely.

XLIst CONGRESS—Second Session. SENATE. Washington, Jan. 27.—Several petitions against the franking privilege were presented. The House joint resolutiou was passed, pro hibiting assessments upon or collections from subordinate officials to make presents to their superior officer. The resolution relating to the seizure of spir its at San Francisco was taken up. Mr. Cole favored a reference of the subject to a committee. The subject was indefinitely postponed by a vote of 20 to 15. The bill was passed making Omaha a port of delivery. A joint resolution was reported for the sale of the Cherokee lands in Kansas. The Vico President commuuicated the fact that the President had signed the Virginia bill. Mr. Boremau said that one of the Senators elect from Virginia, John F. Lewis, was pres ent, and moved that he be qualified. The cre dentials of John F. Lewis, John W. Johnson, Senators elect from Virginia, were then read. Lewis then appeared before tbe President’s desk when the usual oath of office was admin istered by the chair. The currency bill was then taken np and de bated until the hour of adjournment. Several bills were introduced and recommit ted. The bill introduced by Mr. Davis, of New York to amend the Virginia bill by construing the word “oath” to include affirmations, was taken up and passed. Several resolutions of inquiry were offered. The following were appoiuted a select com mittee on postal telegraph bills: Messrs. Wash burue of Wisconsin, Lawrence, Deweese, Da vis, Palmer, Woodward and Beck. Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, moved that such of -Abe Virgiuia members as to whose right to seats there was no objection should now be sworn in. Messrs. Platt, Ridgeway and Milnes came forward and took the oath of office. Mr. Wood, of New York, objected to the oath being administered to Mr. Porter, and read as the ground of his objection the charges and specifications upon which lie (Mr. Porter) had been convicted and sentenced to five months’ imprisonment, which sentence bad been approved by Maj. Gen. B. F. Butler; that Mr.^Porter had been convicted of declaring publicly iu a tavern at New York that the gov ernment was a G—d d—d humbug from begin ning to end; that Abraham Lincoln was doing everything that he could for his own election; and that this was a rotten, bogus, corrupt gov ernment from beginning to end. Mr. Paine, ot Wisconsin, in answer to Mr. Wood, sent to the clerk’s desk and had retd a telegram from Mr. Butler, dated May 5,1808, stating that Charles H. Porter, in a heated dis cussiou had used words which being reported to h!m he was obliged to notice. He had,how ever, omitted the onerous part of the judgment of the commission because its case and the pre vious acts showed that Porter had not in fact been disloyal. Mr. Roots, of Arkansas, remarked that the gentlemen on the other side ot the House were frequently making such imputations, and that if men were to be ruled out for such expres sions the members from the other side would rule themselves out. Mr. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, asked Mr. Paine whether Mr. Porter had ever taken back the expression charged against him. Mr. Paine said he did not know. He had never conversed with him on tire subject. Mr. Sargent, of California, asked Mr. Wood whether he was prepared to say that any per son should be excluded from membership in the House for haying used such language. Mr. Wood said that he had no difficulty in answering that question. He did not believe that anybody was fit to sit iu the House who considered the government of the United States a humbug, or who denounced the President in such scurillous terms. Mr. Sargent remarked that lie had simply wauted to get the profession of faith. Mr. Whittemore asked Mr. Wood, sarcasti cally, whether he did not think it better to treat that class ot people with conciliation and kind ness. Mr. Wood—Yes: but not to give them front seats. An excite 1 discussion ensued, and was partici pated in by Messrs. Woodward, Eldridge, Hol man, Smith ot Oregon, Brent, Voorhees, Sar gent, Cox, May ham, Butler of Massachusetts, Wood, Morgan. Mr. Holman of Indiana, reminded the House of tho exclusion of Young and Brown, mem bers elect from Kentucky, on the pretence of their having used expressions that were re garded as disloyal. Mr. Sargent recalled tho fact that during the last Congress Mr. Wood had been censured by the House for declaring in a speech that he would vote against this most infamous bill of the most infamous Congress, and asserted that the Democratic party had from tbe beginning of the rebellion thrown its influence in the scale against tbe government. Mr. Cox, of New York, declared that that statement was not true. He was in Congress at the breaking out of the rebellion, and was among the first if not the first to denounce se cession. Tho great body of Democrats had stood by Douglas and tbe Union. When tbe member from Kansas (Conway) offered a se ries of resolutions for dismemberment who on ihe other side moved to expel him; but when tbe member from Cincinnati (Long) made a speech for secession and disunion a ma jority ol tbe atber side voted to expel him, but the one was a Republican and the other a Democrat. If all of those who made expres sions against the government before tbe war were excluded from the House half the seats on the other side would be empty. He agreed with his lriend (Mr. Voorhees) as to the right of representation. No wrongs on the other side could make it right and they should sot no rules for them. Mr. Sargeut repeated that the Democratic party of the North had not been during the war iu sympathy with the government. A Democratic President, a Northern man, had seut a message to Congress stating that he had no power to coerce a State, and in that he had been fortified by Attorney General Black, a Northern Democrat. Mr. Mayhem, ot New York, made a remark as to an editor of a New York Republican pa per advocating the right of secession. At this time the coafusion and excitement had increased to such an extent that the Speak er had to resort to the strenuous use ot the gavel and request the members to resume their seats. Order having been restored, Mr. Woodward, of Pennsylvania, said he rose to reply to the slanderous charge made against the Demo cratic party by the gentleman from California. He had denounced it as slanderous at the mo ment it was uttered, aud ho repeated it now again. If the Democratic party of the North had not recruited the array of the United States the Southern Confederacy would now be an accomplished fact. He had always ob served that those persons who brought this charge against the Democratic party were gen erally people who did the least to suppress the rebellion. Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, made some i excusatory remarks in favor of Porter, saying that tbe words uttered by him were a ebulli tion of ill-nature in an excited political discus sion, and reminded the other side of tbe House of the amount of joy in Heaven over one sin ner that repenteth. As to the rank and file o: the army having been chiefly Democratic he agreed with the gentleman from Pennsylva nia (Mr. Woodward), but the soldiers changed very soon. He had. himself a body ot 101 from Pennsylvania, and without a word from him they all voted for Mr. Lincoln, except the trumpeter, and he had been court marttailed that morning for being late in sounding the reveille. He voted for McClellan. (Laughter.) Mr. Wood of New York considered this a good opportunity to test the consistency ot the other side and preseut their poisoned chalice to their own lips. He did not, however, agree with the members on his own side that the House would not bo justified in inquiry into the record of the member elect. He would not sit here with an enemy to his country. Mr. Eldridge of Wisconsin, referring to Mr. Butler’s quotation as to joy in Heaven over ie peutant sinners, said he could not help but think that there was no gentleman on the floor of the House who could create such a thrill of joy in Heaven as the gentleman from Mass, by repenting. (Laughter.) The motiou to reconsider was flu ally lam on the table by yeas 150, nays 5; and Mr. Porter was sworn in a member from Virginia. Mr. Farnsworth, of Illinois, from the Post Office Committee, reported bill to abolish the franking privilege and asked to have it made a special order. Mr. Cullom, of Illinois—I hope it will ho put on its passage now. Mr. Holman, of Indiana—No objection to that. Mr. Orth, of Indiana—Let us pass it now. The bill was read. It repeals all laws giving to any officer of any department of the gov ernment or other person the right either to send or receive through the mail, free of post age, any letter, document or other mailable matter. Section 2d provides th it the act shall take effect on and after the 1st of July, 1870. Finally the general desire to have it put on its passage being manifested, Mr. Farnsworth moved the previous question on its passage, which was seconded, and Mr. Farnsworth hav ing an hour to advocate the bill parcelled out the time, which was occupied in a discussion upon the questions, participated in by Messrs. Farnsworth, Logan, Getz. Butler ot Massa chusetts, Benton, Beck, Ward, Laflin, Judd, Eldridge, Ferris, Hill, Cox, Wood, Potter, White, Emery, Anderson, Conger and Ely. In reply to a question whether the bill cut off free newspapers, Mr. Farnsworth replied that it cut off everything. Mr. Farnsworth said the main reason why he was in favor of abolishing the franking priv lege was that he thought the effect would be to abolish a stupendous amountof public print ing done by order of Congress. No more heavy books and documents will be sent free tliroush the mails, and, therefore, they would not bo printed. The reply to the statements so gene rally made in regard to the extravagance of Congress in the matter of printing. Mr. Laflin of New York, from tlie Commit tee on Printing, stated in behalf of Congress that Congress was being held responsible all over the country for expenditures that are made beyond and outside of the vote autboriz ing it. The public printer showed that the amount of printing,!binding, lithography and eDgraviog offered by the House of Representa tives last year was $140,422, and of that amount over $350,000 were expended on their books, the agricultural report costing a little over $103,000, mechanical report a little over $200, 000 and the Globe the balance. The printing for the Senate cost $117,000, and when these two amounts were added together they show the cost of the public printing for the two Houses. He was asked by the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations if he could tell how much the printing of the departments had cost. He bad not tne figures at baud but he would venture to make the statement in round numbers that the printing for the de partments for the same time was between $8, 000,000 and.$9,000,000. Mr. Judd of Illinois—what is the total cost of the printing? Mr. Laflin of New York—somewhere near $17,000,000. Mr. Wood of Now York made a point of or der that under the rule no member should vote on any question in which he had an immediate and personal intere.-t (Laughter.) The Speaker overruled the point of order. Mr. Farnsworth of Illinois said it did not re quire the prepaymentof postage of newspapers, but it did require the payment of postage on all newspapers and all papers. Finally the discussion was closed and the bill passed—yeas 174, nays 14, as follows: The following were the nays: Briggs, Boles, Butler of Tennessee, Griswo'd, Haldeman, Johnson, Reeves, Ridgeway, Rogers, Roots, Sherard, Stone, Wood and Woodward. Mr. Churchill, of New York, from the Com mittee on Elections, reported in favor of John Covode and against H. D. Foster as member elect from the 21st Congressional District of Pennsylvania. The House at 3.30 o’clock went into commit tee of the whole on the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. Mr. Logan, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported abill to reduce the numberof officers in the army, which was made a special order for Wednesday next. Mr. Banks, of Massachusetts, introduced a bill to amend the law constituting eight hours a days work for government mechanics, &e., which was referred. Mr. Stevenson, of Ohio, introduced a bill to abolish mileage. Referred. WASHINGTON. NO SEEDS NOR CUTTINGS. Washington, Jan. 27.—The Commissioner of Agriculture, in response to numerous ap plications for seeds, cuttings, &c., gives notice that owing to the meagre appropriation by Congress for that purpose he is unable to com ply with such requests. BALL TO PRINCE ARTHUR. A ball given by Minister and Mrs. Thornton to-uigbt in honor of Prince Arthur was at tended by between 500 and 600 persons. At half-past 10 o’clock Prince Arthur, in company with Minister and Mrs. Thornton, began to re ceive the guests.

These were followed by members of the Cabi net accompanied by ladies. The festivities were prolonged to a late hour. mr. washburn’s ocean steamer bill. Mr. Washburn of Wisconsin to-day present ed his bill to the House for the establishment of the lines of ocean steamer?, which was refer red to by the special committee on Americm commerce. The bill proposes to establish four lines of steamers as follows: The Atlantic Iron Steamship Company, to ply between Boston and Poitland, in the United States, Glasgow in Scotlaud and Liverpool, England, sailing from each of st.id ports on alternate weeks; the American Iron Steamship Company, to ply be tween New York and Liverpool, touching at Queenstown aud making weekly trips; the Transatlantic Steamship Company, to ply be tween Baltimore, Southampton and Bremen, touching at each port on alternate weeks; the North aud South American and European Steamship Company, to ply between New Or leans and Hamburg, touching at Antwerp, and between New Orleans aud Rio Janerio, touch ing at Havana, Mayaguese, Porto Rico, St. Thomas and Trinidad, in the West Indies, ami Penambuco and Bahia in Brazil; making semi monthl s. Tho naster General is authorized to contract with these lines for the transmission of the United States mails for ten years, and to guarantee payment to each company ot five hundred thousand dollars per annum, payable monthly. In the case of the North and South American and European Company this amount is to be equally divided between the two lines. The contract is to be made on the express con dition that each company shall proceed imme diately to construct iu American shipyards not less than five first class iron ships ot the most approved model for speed, and with the best accommodations for cabin aud steerage pas sengers, of not less than three thousand tons burthen, aud with speed equal to the average speed of the lines known as the Cunard, In man and French lines.

Utf Central Railroad OF IOWA. ITS Seven Per Cent, Cold First Moitga^efioiif]*, Free of Government Tax, At 95 and Accrued Interest, MANY PERSONS ARE SELLING THEIR GOVERNMENT BONDS WHILE THE PUEMIUM IS STILL LARGE (a* the Treasury has promised to bay thirteen mil lions iu December) AND REINVEST IN THE FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS ol tbe CEN TRAL RAILROAD of IOWA, WHICH PAY ABOUT ONE-THIliD MORE IN TEREST. THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH REINVESTMENT i» while the Treasury w buying, and Governments are at a premium. THE ROAD DOES NOT RUN THROUGH A WILDERNESS, where if would have to wait years lor population and business, but through the most thickly settled and product ive agricultural counties in. the State, which gives each section a lar. e traffic as soon as com pleted. It runs through the great coal Helds ot Southern Iowa to the North where coal is in dispensable and must be carried. It runs from the great lumber regions ot tbe North, through a district of country which 1* destitute of this prime necessity. Tbe mortgage is made to the Farmers' Loan and Trust Co., of N. Y., and bonds can be is sued only at tbe rate of 816,000 per mile, or on ly half the amount upon some other roads. Special security is provided for the principal and for the payment of interest. The New York Tribune says “this is a splen did entemrise. and deserves the most libera! aid." The New York Independent says, “We knot* the Central Railroad of Iowa is one of the great and good works of the age. Its Direc tors include many of onr leading bank presi dents and other gentlemen of high character, who have means enough to build two or three such roads out of their owu pockets, so that all its affairs will be ably as well as honestly mas* aged. The Central of %tra will be to that State what the New Ytrrfc Central is to this, except that it runs through a far richer coun try. We therefore recommend the Centra) Iowa Bonds, with entire confidence in their value. The truth is, that a First Mortgage ot $16,000 per mile upon a road running through such a country cannot be otherwise than safe. First Mortgage Bonds for so small an amount upon a road running through such a rich and already well-settled part ef Iowa, can well be recommended as a perfectly safe as well as vary profitable investment.
