The road is nearly finished, and the cars ais expected to ran across tbs state in 60 days, td. The road hr s been bnllt only of the best mate rial, tbe iron having been manufactured ex pressly font, at a much higher cost than that usually psld. Id. It runs th rough a most superb agricultural country, 1th. It has great advantages In carrying coal North and bringing lumber South, ilh. The Mortgage is only |16,C0C per mile, while many other roads are bonded to double this amount. >th. The road is principally owned by bankers and other capitalists, who have invested a large sum in its construction, and who have every reason to take care of its obligations, rth. A First Mortgage of so small an amount, up on a road so near completion, and in such strong hands, may well be considered a per fectly safe security.

TUe Fabragut-I’^irteb Contbovebsy itill continues to attract the attention of the public. The ?*ew York papers of Saturday printed two letters to contradict the assertion that there was any ill-feeling or jealousy be tween these two eminent commanders, but on the contrary that the most amicable re lations existed between them to the last.— The first letter was from Admiral Farragut to Admiral Poi ter, dated June 26,1870, couch ed in the most binding language, thanking him for placing the steamer Tallapoosa at the disposal of the former to convey him to Portsmouth. The secoud was directed to Com. Pennock, at Kiltery Navy Yard, by Admiral Porter, two days before Admiral Farragul’s death expressing the most tender sympathy for the Admiral in his critical condition, and ex pressing the hope that the attack might pass over. He recognized in his letter the great value of Admiral Farragut to his country, and desired that Com. Pennock, in the event of the death of the gallant sailor, would give his remains all the honor that his patriotic ser vices entitled him to. The Brooklyn Eagle ol Saturday pronounces Admiral Farragul’s let ter to Porter a forgery, and the article con cludes: “He said to the writer of this paragraph a few months before bis death, ‘I have never ex changed correspondence with Porter nor writ ten to him, nor barely spoken to him since be sneaked over to Forts Philip and Jackson while I was taking New Orleans, and after I had passed tbess torts and demanded their surrender in his own name, and not in mine, as commander of the fleet. Sir, be created an authority within an authority, and in all my experience, I have never known a man who did that to succeed.’ The letter to Porter, then, from Farragut, is a forgery, on the word of Farragut himself before he died. It is not a forgery that Mrs. Farragut has a letter from Porter, about the time of his Cape Fear letter calling Grant a loafer, a drunkard, a liar and an imbecile in so many words. That is what he thought of the President before he wanted an office under him. We are not sure that Major Montgomery, the late Admiral’s secre tary, owes it to the Admiral’s memory, now that his name has been iorged, to get that open letter of Porter’s on Grant, and to see if Por ter will be able to remember nothing about it. Mrs. Minerva Morris is very far from con templating what is known as the square thing, though she does live in Cincinnati.— Her William is in the work bouse of that city, confined greatly against his will and his most earnest desire to get his liberty, that he may take charge of and properly regulate some most important family matters. One of these matters relates to a suit for divorce which the goddess—referring to Mrs. Morris—has just instituted, taking an unfair advantage, as one may say, of the incarcerated William. A summons has been issued against the un happy man to be and appear, to show cause, Ac. Ac., according to the formula in sucb case made aad provided. He cannot appear, be cause, as he feelingly says, he is “surrounded by wrought iron,mortar and brick.” He would like to know how he can appear under such circumstances; and that is truly an appaling conundrum. He fears that, taking fur'her ad vantage of his forced immunity from society, Mrs. Morris will accomplish a divorce, per haps marry an entire stranger; so that, when once again the god of day appears to his be wildered gaze over the eastern hill-tops, he will have no wife to speak of, no home, no one to love him, and In fact nothing at all of that kind. We don’t know when we have been so grieved, so oppressed by the uncer tainties of the law, as iu the present instance. And this—good heavens!—is a republic. How Nellie Fouxd Tbe Faikies A Grand mother’s Story. Philadelphia: Lippineott Sc Co., 1871. The Grandmother who writes this pretty lit tle story is one of oar own nice Portland grandmothers, and what she has to say will therefore possess especial interest for Portland grand-children. Grandmothers now-adays *“*:*rt rliflf/trpnt from ■»v** V when they were very aged and wore big spec tacles and leaned on canes and seemed a great way off from the little folks. Now they are quite young people themselves—at least they seem so to ns—they dress and talk just like other people and have not bv any means for gotten how children put on what they like, consequently they are very delightful when they really set to work to tell stories. This stoTy about Nellie is lull of things that chil dren like to hear,and besides that it will put in to their heads some thoughts that it will do them good to think over by themselves. Nel lie would not have seen tbe laries if tbe taries had not known that she was a very good little girl, and even seeing them would not have made her so happy if she had not been all ready to learn the lessons they taught her. Onr little girls of to-day can go into the same beautiful woods where Nellie went with “moollie,’’ anj they can also see tbe house where she went to school. Many ladies and gentlemen in town remember very distinctly Mrs. Dane’s school, and would know tbe slap of that ferule or the tap of that thimble on their heads, if either of them should be allow ed to come back again in this neighborhood. Above all they would sneeze with all their might if one of those snuffy old pocket hand kerchiefs were to he disinterred and waved in the air. Many would shake in thei' shoes and forget that they had grown into men and wo men if they saw in their dreams thatwtite capped old lady take her seat in her straw bot tomed chair, with a spelling-book in her bund, and look over her spectacles at them. They have all passed away long ago and the children of to-day can laugh over them as merrily as they plase without fear of the ferule, just as they can read and enjoy the other experiences of little Nellie._M. J. M. S. Items. Miss Catherine Beecher aod Mrs. Mary A. Livermore are to discuss the Woman Suffrage Suestion at Music Hall, Boston, on Wednes ay night; the former against and the.latterin tavor of tbe measure. The contest between two of the most intelligent female minds in America will excite a great deal ef interest. Journalistic enterprise has a limited scope in Nantucket. The Mirror of Saturday says:— We go to press in ignorance of all that is goiDf on in th» outer world since Tuesday, when we received our last mails. Therefore, any short comiDgs in the wiy ot late news must hi charged to tbe account of. Old Boreas, who, in the majesty of bis power, langbs at the effort: of even the indefatigable news reporter. In Worcester, on Wednesday, tbe Congrega tional churches and parishes will bold a jubi lee memorial meeting, to which all the church es of the denomination in tbe country are in vited. The meeting is to last through the day and evening. There is trouble in tbe Baptist church si Pittsfield, Mass., growing out of tbe fact that tbe minister, Rev. Mr. Watson, has bceu usiufi a covenant which slightly differs from tbe ac cepted covenant of that chuicb, but has in ad ditiona clause binding the members to ab stain from tbe use of intoxicating liquors. Un der this covenant 160 members have been add ed to the church during Mr. Watson’s pastor ate. Some of the members now find they arc not only members of a church but of a temper auce society. Touching and irresistible was the invitatioi of the rastic maiden, te her swain: “Come and see me; we have a new lamp at onr bouse that we can turn down, down, down, unti there is scarcely a bit of light in the room.’ He went.

f^ATLYPBESs! l'OIM'LAND. Wednesday, Morning, Decerns! 21, 1870. B«Siilrlcil>| Ik* Stale. Our recent article on restricting the State, as we anticipated,hat eal led forth tome discussion It is an important matter, and it is well that the several counties and municipalities who are interested in a just apportionment, should understand the question and secure their rights. The Leiaiaton Journal in referring to our article says: Cumberland and Androscoggin have each Increased iu population since 1860 nearly the same, it is difficult to see how the Press gives two new representatives to Cumberland and none to Androscoggin. We think that there was a degree of favor itism shown ten years ago, whereby certain 0 ninties had a relatively larger representation. In other words, county delegations who were smart, understood the matter, aud looked after their home interests, gained the advan tage. The redistricting of the State by the Legislature of 1861 affords au opportunity for criticism, if a person therefor is disposed to mike a comparison of the populations .which respectively define a representative district in the several counties. Such an examination will disclose that the number of representatives were not altogeth er equitably distributed among tbe counties. Eight representatives were given to the coun ty of Androscoggin with a population of 29. 714, which distribution gave one representa tive to every 3714 of the inhabitants of said county. The county of Cumberland with a population of 75,908 was limited to 18 repre sentatives, which gave one representative to •very 4200 of the inhabitants of the latter WUUUfcJ. It appears that 3714 inhabitants constitutes the number that was considered requisite to establish a representative district in Andros coggin county. If a similar enumeration for a representative apportionment had been al lowed Cumberland county, the latter county would have had twenty during the last de cade instead of eighteen representatives. Piscataquis county hat had but thtee rep resentatives for a population of 15,054—one r'presentative to every 5000 ot its inhabiC ants. This looks like injustice. These discrepancies should be equalized by the future action of the Legislature. If the Whole population of the State should be di vided into 151 representative districts, it wiuld give each representative district a pop ulation of 4164 inhabitants. If Androscoggin county should be allowed an increase of one representative over the last apportionment, it would have nine representatives. This num ber should in equity call fer a popula tion of 37,476. Androscoggin County by the recent census has a population of 35, 893, which is 153$ inliabitantsiess than the equitable requisite number for nine repre mtatives. This deficiency when duly con sidered may not prove a sufficient abjection to an increase, but when compared with the rightful demand er claim of Cumberland coun ty, the latter has the advantage. Cumber land county has a population of 82,043. Twenty Representatives would call for g pop ulation of 83,280, which appears to be 1247 more than the actual enumeration of the lat ter county. But Cumberland county stands relatively 349 better in population for a de mand for twenty Representatives, which is an Increase of two, than Androscoggin county does for nine Representatives, which is an in crease of one. And if this claim of Cumber land county should be satisfied no ii\justice would be done any other county. This per haps is sufficient for the inquiry ef our friend of the Journal. Androscoggin is an important county and fast increasing in population, and is deserv ing of due consideration from the Legislature in making up tho apportionment. A careful reexamination of the distribution of the rep resentatives to the several counties forces us to make one change as expressed in our table. We would give Androscoggin county an ad ditional representative and Aroostook one IWB—AUU lb UiAJ UC m UlAbVCl SULUO UUllDl, whether either Washington or Piscataquis county should hare the increase of one repre sentative, or whether York or Sagadahoc *a i I, i V “flinarfr table appears to be correct. Should the Legislature be governed strictly by population in the distribution of repre sentatives, the foliowing result would be ob tained. Aro.itook rains ene and would have 7 Rep.

It is always a good sign when a patient begins to J;row hungry: I have hopes of such. With a relish for ood, and the gratification of that relish, comes good blood, and with it more flesh, which is closely followed dv a neaiingoi me lungs,—men me cougn loosens and abates, the creeping cliilla and clammy night sweats no longer prostrate and annoy, and the patient gets well, provided he avoids taking cold. Now, there are many consumptives who have not the means to go to Florida. The question may bo asked. Is there no hope for such Certainly there is. My advice to such is, and ever lias been, to stay in a warm room during the winter, with a temperature of about seventy degrees, which should be kept regularly at that point by means of a thermometer. Let such a patient take hfa exercise within the limits of the room by walking up and down as much as his strength will permit, in order to keep up a healthy circulation of the blood. 1 have cured thousands by this system, and can do so again. Con sumption is as easily cured as any other disease, if it is taken in time, and the proper kind of treatment is pur sued. The fact stands undisputed on record, that Schcnck's Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake Pills, and Sea weed Tonic have cured very many of what seemed to be hopeless cases of consumption. Uo where you will, you will be almost certain to find some poor consumptive who has been rescued from the very jaws of death by their use. So far as the Mandrake Pills arc concerned, everybody should keep a supply of them on hand. They act on the liver better than calomel, and leave none or its hurtful effects behind. In fact, they aro excellent in all cases where a purgative medicine is required. If you have partaken too freely of fruit, and diarrhoea ensues, a doso of tho Mandrakes will euro you. If you are subject to sick headache, take a dose of the Mandrakes, and they will relieve you in two hours. 1 f you would obviate the effect of a change of water, ortho tuo free indulgence in fruit, take one of the Mandrakes every night, and you may then drink water, and eat water melons, pears, ap ples, plums, peaches, or corn, without the risk of being made sick by them. They will protect those who live in damp situations against chills and fevers. Try them. They are perfectly harmless. They can do you good only. 1 have abandoned my professional visits to Boston and New York, but continue to see patients at my office. No. 15 North Sixth Street, Philadelphia, every Saturday, from t>, a m., to3, p.m. Those who wish a thorough ex amimation with tho Kespiromcter will bo charged fivo dollars. Tho liespirometer declares tho exact condition of the lungs; and patients can readily learn whether they aro curable or not. But I desire it distinctly un derstood, that the value of my medicines depends entire ly upon their being taken strictly according to directions. In conclusion, 1 will say, that when persons take my medicines, and their systems are brought into a healthy condition thereby, they are not so liable to take cold; yet no ono with diseased lungs can bear a sudden change of atmosphere without the liability of greater or less irri tation ot the bronchial tubes. Full directions in all languages accompany my medi cines, so explicit and clear that any one can use them without consulting me, and can be bought from any druggist. J. H.

The fog whistle we spoke of the other day as just finished at the works of the Portland Co., was tried by Gen. Duane, at the Cape, yester day. We understand that it was plainly heard in Boston, and upon learning where it was the merchants of that city started a petition to Sec retary Boulwell, to have it at once removed to ihe“itub." The ladies of tbe 2d Parish Society will hold a Calico Festival and Fair at their vestry to day and to-morrow. A nice time may be ex pected. Tbe entertainment at 34 Park street for the benefit of St. Luke’s Cathedral yesterday was a great Buccess and must have netted some thing handsome. The articles for sale were very beautiful aud of gre^t variety; the guess eake, an elegant affair, reflecting great credit on C. W. Lucy’s taste, tbe music and dancing a delightful feature, and last, but in reality first, tbe lady waiters (wbo offered those deli cacies that tempted tbe palate) were very fasci nating. The charades were a very pleasing feature of tbe entertainment. Don’t forget the festival at Congress Street Church to-night. The tableaux, dialogues and music will prove highly attractive, while tbe refreshments will be of the best. Exolish Opeba.—The advertisement of Messrs. C. D. Hess Co., the managers of the celebrated Parepa-Rosa Opera Company, and Mrs. C. R. Bernard, for many years Directress of the celebrated Richings Opera Company, baa appeared in our columns, and tells its owu story. We took occasion a short time ago, to speak of this combined troupe in terms of praise, and we have no fears that our citizens will fail to give it a hearty support. It is no or dinary attraction offered, and it is no light en terprise to bring a great and expensive compa ny to a city of the size of Portland, but we have bad members o( this company here before who assisted in bringing out English Opera, and were well patronized by the public, although the entertainments were necessarily wanting In many important particulars. Now we are to have fourteen principal artists, an excellent chorus of fifty voices, all of whom will be here, and a picked orchestra of sixteen musicians— in al) some eighty people. If the price of the tickets may seem rather high, let it be remem bered that the price of admission to the thcatie is from 75 cents to 33 cents, according to loca tion of seats, and that too to witness a small and very cheap theatrical company murder sensation plays. The price to these operas is but double tbe usual charge, and this is neces sitated by the size of the house. The musical journals of the country say that in perfectness of detail this company offer the best represent ation ever given in tbe United States, and as the Star appropriately says, “if all who are so fond of hearing English sung, instead of for eign lingo,” will attend, with the addition of those wbo are fond of good music, there is no reason why tbe house should not he crowded, no matter in what language that mueic finds expression. Calwobnia ox Canvas.—Considering the bad walking and tbe other attractions in town, tbs Panorama of California at DeetiDg Hall opened to a remarkable good audience last night, which will be increased in size hereaf ter, when tbe thousaud spectators present have bad an opportunity to inform tbe friends of its wonderful merits. California has been celebrated from tbs time of its earliest exploration, as a country of gi gantic natural productions, especially in vegi tation aDd tbe magnificence ofiis scenery— and we might add, in tbe nerve and tenacity of its population in every thing that makes men famous—and the world cannot equal in stupendous grandeur tbe wonders of ibe Yo Semite Valley, which forms a large part of Messrs. Smith Davis' panorama. Tbe paintings we are free to say, are of a high or der, greatly excelling in artistie beauty any lbiug of the kind ever before unrolled In this city, and tbe lover of art regret) that bo is obliged to pass so rapidly rrom ono to another. He rather desires to slop and study tbe rare peculiarities of tbe atmosphere and the pesrpective, without which a true idea of tbe picture cannot be obtained. There is none of that tir-someness which attaches to a panora ma ot closely-built cities, with its tedious rows of red brick and angular streets, so treqoent. in this country; but as true pictures of nature in her best moods, the eye rests upon these copies ivl'b pleasure. The whole week will scarcely suffice, we think, to satisfy tbe desire of all the people who will desire to visit these pictures. TrnNVEEEiN Exhibition.—The exliibitior of the Portland Tnrnvereins at City Hell, las; evening, was well attended, and it was pleas ant to witness so many ladies present. Wt gave a pretty full account of the performanci some weeks since, after their first exhibition and can only repeat now what we then said that such performing in gymnastic exercise; is a credit not only to the young gentiemeu o the Association, but also to our cite, wliicl should take pride in fostering this society. Ev try performance last tveiiiog was rapturousl; applauded, and all present were surprised a tbe proficiency obtained. The exhibition o Capt. Ben Willard’s trained dog was good. Tin animal seemed almost human, an i uuderstooc every motion of bis master, affording rnucl gratification to all present by bis noudescrlp tricks. Alter the gymnast c exorcises were over, tb settees were cleared away and all wbo wished enjoyed an hour or two of daocing to tbe splen 4id music of Chandler’s Band. 1 Santa Klaus. Old winter tried hard to lay a foundation for 'tonta Klaus’ flpigh to nui a y over ill- coo: P ristmss ui.d although ha did not succeed vc.y «cll he knows he has got time enough be fore him. Still, though the walking was not super-excellent, the stores showed a good ar ray of customers the majority of whom in the day-time, were ladies, while the gentlemen turned out in the evening. The throngs around tbo windows in Deering Block, on Congress street, would have led one to suppose that a great woman’s right’s meeting was in progress in that locality. It is sufficient to mention the name of T. Lobenstein to immediately carry hack the recollection of many of our readers to the days when Herman Gruutal kept store in Portland. He built up a fioe business and always kept on hand a line of goods that embraced the c-eam of the New Yolk market, and his sister offers now the same excellent styles to the very best custom in this city. There are so many things that can be procured in a lady’s furnish ing store that will make an acceptable present that we hardly know what to suggest. Hero are to be touud the richest laces Irom the cost ly point applique or the Flanders thread to ueat but inexpensive cotton. Alexandre’s kid gloves are kept by Mrs. Lobenstein, which are always a thankfully received gift, and beauti ful embroideries, superb sets of collars and cuffs, hosiery of all kmds, beautiful handker chiefs, canvas patterns for worsteds, dog-skin gloves with soft fur wristlets, nice cloth gloves, fans of every design, nubias, etc. Then thero are a variety of other articles that ladies never fail to appreciate that we can ouly ad vise them to examine for themselves. Next door to Lobensteiu’s we find the new store of Anderson. Auderson’s is also a well known establishment and among his special ties he offers a complete line of corsets of every description and although doctors have argued long and loud against the evils of tight lacing it does not necessarily follow that because a woman wears a corset sbe must compress her luugs against her back-bone. Those new Tre fousse kid gloves in new colors can be found here, and also good kids at one dollar a pair. Warm hosiery and undetflannels make pres ents that would delight many a heart this cold weather, and thereto™ we say drop) into An derson’s. One of tho most eligible places to buy a boy a present is at J. B. Lucas’s, No. 69 Euhange street. Where is tbe boy that does not leap with joy at the gilt of a new pocket-knife with half a dozen blades of Sheffleld.sleel, or a first rate pair of skates, or a swift sled. For the younger ones there is a great variety of toys such as bewilder the sight at first inspection. A good back-gammon board is a fruitful source of pleasure and fiuds a ready welcome in every household, while the >ifles and pistols are from the best makers. Among our leading hook-pnblisbers are to be lound Messrs. Bailey aud Noyes on Ex change street. Their palatial store embraces a variety ot publications that includes the whole field of literature. Hero is to be found those superb works, bound in Turkey leather, “Tbe Legend of St. Gwendoline" Illustrated with splindid photographs from Ehmingers drawings, “Hood’s Poems” Tennysou’s “Vivi an," and the History of Croquemnitaine" ail il lustrated by that wonderlul artist Doid; Schil ler’s “Lay of the Bell,” a most dainty volume with illustrations by Scntt from Cooper’s en gravings, Dickens’ “Child’s Dream of a Star,” besides shelves loaded down with all th^stand ard and popular literature in every variety of binding, including poetry, history, biography, travels and fiction. In the centre ot the store are tables crowded with beautiful photographs from Taber Co., of New Bedford, photo graphic albums in every style, writing desks, childrens books, stationery, games for children, and there is one feature that we wouliT refer to as offering an opportunity fora superb pres ent. We mean an elegant piano ot the cele brated Chickering or Bradbury make, or one ot those beautiful toned Mason Hamlin cab inet organs. Bailey and.Noyes are too well known to he overlooked. Gentlemen’s furnishing goods embrace many welcome gilts, for under such a heading can be found articles of solid comtort as well as luxury within tbe reach of the most moderate purse. AtO’NiELW. Bobihson’s, 290 Cou gress street, there is a great call. His windows are most attractively arranged with every va riety of gentlemen’s ties aud scarfs in all the colors of the rainbow intertwined among col lars, cuffs, gloves and all the elegancies of the toiler. Among the most beautilul goods are the Bsgatta scarfs and Nilsson ties, choice silk umbrellas with carved ivory handles, a perfect lineot all kinds or gloves—kids, castor, dog skin, leather aud cloth—old fashioned chain buckles for suspenders, quite a curiosity and very useful; wristors, all the latest styles of collars and cuffs, Welsh, Margetou Co.’s ties, tbe best known, of English manufacture, a full assortment of the best underclothing and hosiery, besides a large line of nady-made clothing and beautiful designs in cuff buttons, studs, etc. O'Neil is one of our most energetic and excellent young business men and his stock is as large and varied as any in the city, There are some of our readers who may have heard of Oogia Hassan. The great trouble about Cogia is his neglect to advertise and therefore we leel comnelled to sav a word lor him. We went into Ins store, yesterday morning” which should properly he called a ware house. In Muzzey’s Block he occupies two stories and deals in everything you can think of. The second story is usually devot ed to the wholesale business hut now it is giv en up to Christmas goods. We passed a part of the morning there and actually thought we had been gazing at the goods aDd the assem bled throng for about fifteen minutes. Just take a walk around with the agreeable and polite clerk. Uere are superb shawls in the shawl department the fabrics of the looms of Cashmere that are sold in Boston for ©136 and marked down by Cogia to STSWecause he only believes in getting a living profit out of every thing; ribbons of every line and design stretch ing out in long cases before you as far as the eve can reach, beautiful bats and bonnets of the latest French fashion elegantly or plainly trimmed according to the means of the pur chaser. Toys, marqueterie, carved wood de signs such as wall pockets, card recovers, etc., some [ol ttlio most beautiful Bohemian glass ware we ever beheld—and here we would say this Bohemian glass-ware will bear examina tion; ibe superb epergnes, punch-bowls, vases, many of which have found a final resting place iu many ol our most elegant residences— Sheffield cutlery of the nicest description all marked with Cogia Hasenn’g name and ot the best quality. On the first floor we have one of the largest and best assortments of kid gloves in all sna i es and of every quality to be found iu this city, also Edrehi’s perfumes so delicious and popular, handkerchief boxes all furnished, beautifully embroidered children's robes, laces of tlie finest to the commonest texture,a great thread department and the brain wearies in trying to remember a tithe ol the resources of this immense establishment. When we men tion that 68 bands ,are employed here we give some idea of the extent of Cogia’s business. An apothecary’s shop may seem a singular place to visit to procure Christmas presents, but there are none so ignoraDt that they have not learned by this time that many of the choicest fancy goods are to be procured there. WHiTTijgp, corner of Free aod Congress street, has got a very nice stock of fancy Dottles, in quaiut and curious designs, for perfumes, of Eugli'h, Frenoli, and German make, Scotch wood card receivers, card cases, choice soaps, Japanese goods, and perfumes iu excellence and variety, that if Lady Macbeth had ob tained access to them she never would have had occasion to make use of the expression, all the perfumes of Arabia cannot sweeten this little hand.” If a child should l>e permitted tp enter Crarles Day’s, Ho. 94 Exchange street, and select a duplicate of everything in the toy liDe, that Charles keeps on hand, we believe be would have to hire a small l ouse to stow bis presents away in. Where Day ever managed to collect such a museum we cannot imagine. Every inch of space is economized in the front aud rear stores aud in the cellar. There is one part of the rear sforp we have named Day’s stable,” because here can he fpjjnd every kind and size of bobby-horse, all in line as il in a stall. The variety of games would puzzle a stronger headed man than Daniel Webster ever was, to decide which to choose. Day also keeps a nice stock of jewelry. The store is thronged with purchasers night and day. [To be continued.] The Capital Guards.—The Capital Guards of Augusta will visit this city, as we have pre viously mentioned, on the 23th iust., and will arrive in this city at 2 P. M- on that day, num bering sixty muskets. Their officers are E. S'. Wyman, Captain; Wm. H. Ware, 1st Lt.; E. 9. Soule, gi Lt.; and Aug. L. Smith, Orderly Sergeant. They wPl he received by their hosts the Portland Light Infantry, Capt. Mat tocks, and maroh to the City Hall where they will ho welcomed by his Honor Mayor Kings bury. Thence they will proceed to their quar ters at the Preble House where an excellent dinner will be discussed and in the evening a grand military aad civic ball will be tendered them at City Hall by the Infantry. Chandler’s Band will furnish the music and the Guards will meet with a hospitality such as Portland always extends to her guests. Tae Guards will return to Augnsta the next day. Marine Disaster.—About three o’clock yes terday morniug the seh. Eliza Crowell of Ban gor, and “Tiger” of Camden, houtd east, and loaded with mixed cargoes of meal, notious, etc..collided in the fog and ran aohore at Bangs' Island Point, where they remain on the rocks, the Tiger being ent down to the water’s edge. The “Uockmau.”of Kockland, also ran ashore in the fog about a quarter ot a mile beyond the others. The tag “Warrior” wentdown to them yesterday morning but could not get near enough to be of any assistance. Last night the harbor thieves were probably ou the spot, for many of til* m started from the city in that di rection at nigbtlail. The Steamer City of Embmond will touch at Seat-spot t regularly. Subscribers to the OJd-Fellow’s Assemblies are reminded that the courss will begin this Wednesday eveningjat 8 o’clock, IDec. 21st, at 1870, Fluent’s Hall.

I ——m^— Impeachment of Gov. Holden of Norte Carolina.—Tbe articles of impeachment 01 Cot. TI,i!i3en of North Carolina are eighteen incumber and very voluminous. Tbecuvei about sixty pages of foolscap. They charge him with stirring up civil war in the counties of Alamance and Caswell in March, 1869, ana sending a lawless armed force into them to take military possession, and that he illegally arrested citizens of these counties when they were in a state of peace; also for causing the illegal arrest of Mr. Turner in Orange county; and for inciting George W. Kirk and B. C, George and others to illegally arrest certain citizens and deprive them of their liberty for a mooth, in August, 1870. The charges further allege that Gov. Holden in August last sent an armed force under Col. King and others into Alamance county, which arrested peaceable citizens, and that Holden induced King to disregard a writ of habeas corpus issued by the Chief Justice at the request of the prisoners. Another article charges the Governor with in cercerating Turner in a loathsome felon’s cell with a condemned murderer; and that Kirk and other desperadoes from Tennessee, acting under Holden’s orders, hanged William Pat ton and others, and made an unlawful demand upon State Treasurer Jenkins for the sum of $70,000, and received the same from him; also that Holden induced and incited the Treasur er to disregard a writ enjoying him from pay ing out snch sums, issued by the Judge of the Superior Court, and in all these he is guilty of high misdemeanor in violation of his oath of office and in subversive of the laws of tho State. The articles have been sent to the Sen ate. BniUeu Notice*. Lost.—A gold shirt stud with the initial “L.” on the back. Whoever will return the same to this office will be rewarded.
