Yet others may think that tbe Committee shall overhaul all the election returns of a State. It is not probable that tbe last-named view will receive much favor in the Commission. While the Committee is engaged upon the vote of Florida the two houses will separate, and may, until they receive a report upon the State, pro ceed with other business. II Florida should be decided for Mr. Tilden that would, of course, decide his election. If it should be given to Mr. Hayes the count would then proceed until, after six more States had been couuted, Louisi ana was reached. Here another set of doable returns would be submitted to the Committee. Louisiana being decided, Oregon would be the next State turned over to tbe Committee, and South Carolina tbe last. Tbe House Democrats were in cancus for several boars Monday in tbe selection of the three members to represent them on the elect sral commission. It was resolved that no nom inations should be made for the position. It required 75 votes to elect Twenty or more geutlemen were balloted for. On the second ballot Representative Payne received 102 votes aud Representative Hnnton 78, and they were therefore declared elected. On tbe fifth ballot Representative Abbott of Massachusetts re ceived a majority, and was declared the third member elected. Fernando Wood received on the various ballots a large vote, and would probably have been selected but for an objec tion which was made that be was not a lawyer. It had been supposed that Koott of Kentucky would hare been elected, but his strenuous opposition to the bill had such an effect that he did not receive on any ballot as many as a dozen votes. Mr. Abbott, tbe third member selected, is a prominent lawyer of Massachu setts, and was tbe Democratic nominee in the recent senatorial election in that state. News and Other Items Homoeopathy is said to be gaining steadily in France, where there are nearly 400 practition ers of that school. Tbe New Jersey peach growers have already sent forth their annual doleful prediction of the total destruction of the crop in that state. Cornell has challenged tbe winning crew in the coming Yale-Harvard eight-oared rowing match, but tbe challenge will probably be de clined by both participants. The Mayor of Boston has petitioned the Leg islature for a law to allow temporary occupa tion of portions of the public streets of Boston tut tuc auto ut |yapciO) ttuit, w The faculty of the University of Georgia at Athens, in that state, have invited Mr. Martin Farqubar Tupper to deliver a lecture before the students. The London customs officers seized 27 gills of nicotine the other day, the product of 2300 pounds of tobacco, which virulent fluid was to be used in transforming cabbage leaves into the finest Havana cigars. The ice in the Potomac above Washington is from 12 to 16 inches thick, and at the Long Bridge broken fragments are piled up in such large heaps it is feared a sudden thaw would carry away at least a part of the structure. The Austrian government intends to compel all railway passengers to insure their lives, 1b order to indemnify itself for past losses and to avoid losses in the future, the government itself which owns the railways, taking the fees and doing the insuring. The other day a St. Louis lawyer stated that be had “a verbal communication in his pock et,” and subsequently adjourned a case “sine <lie until next Thursday,” while a member of the counsel at that body's last meeting, spoke of a “verbal diagram.” The Brooklyn Argus says: “Sealskin sacques for poodles are coming into fashion. A lady carrying a canine pet thus attired called yester day to comfort a poor woman who had lost two children by starvation. The sacque was cut pompadour.” The Baptist ministers of New York propose to buy an elephant for the use of Baptist mis sionaries in India. The expense will be foot or live hundred dollars. The object is to pre vent extortions to which the missionaries are subjected in making tours through the country. The annual number of deaths from saako bites in India is reported at 11,116, though this estimate is believed to be far below the actual number, and Dr. Fayrei, who has compiled statistics on the subject, expresses his belief that 20,000 people die annually in India from this cause.

BY TELEGRAPH. FROM AUGUSTA. *ep •rt Against Abolishing tbe Office of I Insurance Commissioner nnd Against Cong Creek Bridge—minority Report in Vnror of n Dime Board of Health—Sal aries of Judged Probate and Chair man of Commissioners for Cumberland County, etc. [Special to the Press. Augusta, Jao. 30, 1877. Moat of the committees held their last meet ings to-day. Committee on Claims voted reference to the (Governor and Council on petition of several towns for reimbursement of money paid as commutation daring tbe war. Committee on Mercantile Affairs will report against abolishing the office of insurance com missioner. Committee on Interior Waters have decided to report a hill to amend the charter of the Franklin Land and Lumber Co. Committee on Ways and Bridges voted leave to withdraw on petition for a bridge over Long Creek in Cape Elizabeth. They will report ought not to pass on the following bills: Act to amend act incorporating Peoples Ferry Co a;i relating to repairing railroad crossings and to make free MerrymeetiDg and Arrowsic bridges iu Sagadoboc county. Tbe Judiciary Committee will report bills re qniriog claims against towns to be verified by oath; amendatory of statutes relating to election retnrns; exempting wages of married women and minors from attachment for debts of tbe husband; bill to extend tbe time for locating Portland, Bntland and Oswego Kailroad. A minority report will be made on bill pro viding for a State Board of Health. The ma jority report was adverse. Mr. Cleaves will present tbe minority report, which is signed by four of the committee. Committee on Military Affairs will report in favor of a commission to be appointed by the Oovernor to revise and codify the militia laws. Gen Chamberlain appeared before them today and recommended tbe improvement of the militia by reorganizing the companies so as to make two regiments, and in place of the Lew iston battery to have three batteries of twognns each in different parts of the state. At a meeting of the Cumberland delega tion it was voted that the salary of the Judge of Probate he fixed at S1600, which will ensure to the public. It was voted that the County Commissioners procure fifty copies of index of deeds printed m convenient form for the use of the county, and one copy for each town iu tbe county. The salary of tbe Chairman of the County Commissioners was fixed at $900, a very reasonable sum considering the labor now required. County estimates for the year were made amounting to $81,000. The increase over last year is on aocouut of the widening of tbe Portland bridge and making a new draw at Martin’s Point bridge,tbe estimate for wbich is $10,000. s Adverse report will bs male upon petition of Thomas Hersey to incorporate the town of West Bangor, and favorable report on amend ment of the law relating to cemeteries so that land may be taken for them in certain cases. _ P. MAINE A Bad 1.limbering Winter. Calais, Jan. 30.—Owing to tbe great depth of Bnow and severe weather, the logging teams in eastern Maine are doing a small business this winter. Several crews have already given up their contracts and left the woods. Advices received here Btate that the same number of teams have hauled about half as much this year as last in the same time. The leading lumber merchants hereabouts have very light stocks. Revival movement in Saco. Saco, Jan. 30.—The committee of pastors and laymen appointed to arrange a series of revival meetings in Saco report that meetings will begin Tuesday afternoon next and will be held four afternoons and four evenings each week in City Hall; to continue at least three weeks if interest warrants. They will be un der the management of the evangelical clergy of this city and two laymen from each church. There will be a conference meeting each after noon and a sermon in the evening followed by an inquiry meeting. Bev. Mr. Blades of Tor onto will condnct the first conference meeting. Bev. Mr. Pottle of Saco will preach tbe first sermon. MARINE NEWS. A Bath Ship Bnrned at Sea. Bath, Jan. 30.—A despatch from Charles T. Bussell Co., Liverpool, received here, states that the ship Dakota from New Orleans for T i__j .a_ rm____ and crew are at Fayal. The Dakota was a flee ship of 1370 tons, built by Goss Sawyer last summer, aud owned by John W. Marr and oth er- of Bath, and Capt. Edwin O. Day of Wool wieh, who commanded her. There is about $40,000 insurance on her. On the 7th of January the Dakota was struck by lightning about 400 milos north of the Azo res, and was soon wrapped in dames. Capt. Day gave orders to lower the boats, which was done as rapidly as possible though they were on fire. Several of the officers and crew burn ed their hands badly. The captain, wife and two children were placed in boats, and officers and orew—23 in all—followed. Fortunately the party was provided with a good supply of provisions and the weather was moderate. The party remained near the burning ship, knowing that it would serve as a signal of distress, and the third day the Hedwig bore in sight acd soon rescued them. NEW HAMPSHIRE. Patent Bight Swindlers. Exeter, Jan. 30.—E. M. Nixon and Geo. H. Corey, hailiDg from SbaroD, Mass., were arrest ed at Newmarket to-day, on a charge of swind ling. They have been going about the country pretending to establish agencies for the sale of a burglar alarm.but really to obtain promisso y notes for the sale of worthless patent rights for burglar alarm. New Hampshire Fire Insurance Com pany. Manchester, Jan. 30.—At the annual meet ing of the New Hampshire Fire Insurance Co. to-day, ex-Governor E. A. Straw was elected President, ex.Gov. J. A. Weston, Vice Presi dent, Geo. B. Chandler, Treasurer, |.Jobn G. French, Secretary. The old board of directors was also re-elected. NEW YORK, Extensive Frauds on the Bevenne—C. 8. Consuls Implicated. New York, Jan. 30.—It is stated that Ar thur B. Wood of the state deparment, after a quiet investigation in Europe, has discovered that a large number of American consuls iu different countries have been in league with merchants there, importers and custom house officers in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and otner seaports, to undervalue importations to this country, and thus swindle this government oat of an immense amount of revenue. The matter, so far as New York is concerned, was under proper legal inquiry by George Bibs, who, on retiring from the District Attorney’s office, tranferred it to Mr. Woodford, who has been instructed to press the prosecutions as fast as possible. It's stated that when the suits are tried a scheme of fraud will be reveal ed greatly exceeding in extent, skill and suc cess that of Lawrence and bis assiciates. At least three New York concerns will be exposed, whose members have amassed very large sums by their connection with the system. Exactly who these defaulters are cannot yet be reveal ed. It is likely that proceedings against dishonest merchants in other cities will be delayed uDtil after the suits against these here have been tried. One result of the investigation of Mr. Wood in Europe, will be, it is understood, the dismissal in disgrace ot several Consuls who have prostituted their position and authority for the purpose of enriching themselves by de frauding the Government. Railroad Wrecker Caught. Samuel P. Bailey is under arrest for placiu" obstructions on the Erie railway on Sunday night by which a train barely escaped being wrecked. He confessed. The Fenians. The Fenian Brotherhood is holding its an nual convention here. The sessions are secret. Radiy Henpecked. Deputy U. S. Marshal Holmes stated to the police superintendent today that his family had shut him up in his house several da»p, had beaten him and finally poisoned him. He was in a shocking condition and is now in the Bel vue Hospital. The ’Longshoremen's Strike. Up to dark oo riot was reported at Brooklyn between the Irish ’Longshoreman and the Ital* ions who went to work at 20 cents per hour The former rate was 25 cents. Fire Insurance Swindlers. A gang of fire insurance swindlers were broken up to-day by the arrest of Wm. Shaler of Plamtield, N. J. Over fifty victims have beeu hKindled out of sums varying from $5,000 to $25,000. Toe firm represeuied itself as ageui for the St. Paui Fire and Marine Insur ance Co., a corporation entirely unknown to insurance men. FIFTY-SIXTH LEtilSLATUltE. [Special to the Press.] SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 30.—Mr.Littlefield, cietk if the Louisiana returning board, testified to day that he altered the original returns from Lwo of the polls in Veruon parish, 60 as to transpose 178 Democratic votes over to the Republican candidates. He did this by the express direction of Governor Wells, and after making copies of the altered origiuals and substituting them for the originals, the latter were burned either by himself or by Uovernor Wells. Littlefield was recalled in tue afternoon. His testimony was in all tho substantial points sim ilar to that just previously given before Mr. Morrison’s committee. He said that yesterday when he appeared before the committee he bad taken no legal advice, but since that time lie had had a conference with an attorney, who in formed him that he could tell the whole truth if he did sounder protest. Otherwise he would have to bear the burden of susn'C'on in ab stracting the original returns of Veruon parish. Field asked witness to look at the paper marked “S.” and he answered after a slight inspection that it was the same paper that was belore the returning board. Witness said he was r-queste i by Wells to transpose the n turns of two polls, taking the votes from the Derno ciatsand giiing tnem to the Republicans, pulls 2 and 9 The votes thus transferred were 178. The original figures were erased and those re quired were written in their place During the further examination of witness he said tne pro mulgation ot the falsified return was signed by all the members of the returning hoard. Testimony of Ur. Kenner. Mr. Kenner, of tho returning board, said votes for Tilden had been thrown out on ac count of intimidation and violence, but did not cleariv specify the instances. He said that, so far as he knew, the election had been com paratively free fiom lawlessness; most of his information came from other persons. He had no knowledge of any part of the original returns having been altered, nor that the board had any consultation on that subject, or that there was anj fraud bv the board or any mem ber thereof, or under their direction or within their knowledge. In the course of his examination Kenner was compelled to produce a private memorandum taken by himself in the board during the addi tion, compilation and statement of the returns. The memorandum showed that numerous pre cincts were thrown out on the alleged grouod of intimidation, violence, etc. There was noth ing in the memorandum about Veruon parish, the witness saying that he made his notes of the proceedings only while he was present at the board. Cor. Kellogg Examined. Ex-Gov. Kellogg was briefly examined today concerning the eleotors of Louisiana. He had no personal knowledge of Levisse being United States Commissioner and Brewster Surveyor General at the time they were voted for, but he knew they absented themselves from the col lege and that the other electors filled tho vacan cies. Another Unsuccessful Attempt to Elect a U. Senator. New York, Jan. 30.—A New Orleans World snprial save that, t.he effort nf the Packard Legis'ature to choose a United States Senator yesterday failed only one votp, State Senator Twitched refusing to vote for James Lewis, who only needed that vote. The object is said to be the admission of such a Senator to the United States Senate, thus giving a recognition to the Packard government, which will com pel the President to take similar actiou, and this will be used before the grand commission as an argument that the Louisiana case is clos ed by a decision binding on all branches of the government. WASHINGTON. Illness of Secretary Morrill. Washington, Jan. 30,—Secretary Morrill is confined to his room by sickness. The President’s Salary. The House Committee on Appropriations, in the legislative and executive appropriation bill, only provides $25,000 for the salary of the President. It is likely the provision as it stands now in the appropriation bill will be agreed to, and the next President will have to be content with $25,000 per annum. The President’s Veto. The President, iu his veto message to day, says “the constitution entrusts to him solely the reception and couduct of all correspondence with foreign states making him in the language of one of the most eminent writers on constitu tional law, the constitutional oigan of com munication with foreign states.” No copy of the addresses which it is proposed to acknowl edge is furnished. He says: “I have no knowledge of their tone, language or purport. From the tenor of the two joint resolutions it is to be inferred that there communications are probably purely congratulatory, friend ly and kindly intended as they may be The presentation by a foreign state of any communication to a branch of the government not complased by the constitution for the re ception of a communication from foreign states might, if allowed to pass without notice, become a precedent for the address by foreign states of communications of different nature and with wicked designs. If Congress can di rect a correspondence by the Secretary of State with foreign governments a case very different from that under consideration might cause when that officer might be directed io present to the same foreign government entirely differ ent and antagonistic views or statements. Secretary Robeson and Whitthorne. Secretary Kobeson testified today that he had nothing to do with setting detectives on the track of Congressman Whitthorne, but com municated with a Congressman who had influ ence with Whitthorne to warn the latter to be careful. He did so out of respect for him. He had no knowledge that Dana, editor of the New York Sun, was shadowed while in Wash ington. He had no recollection of any conver sation with Murtagth about not exposing Whit thnrnfi Cabinet Meeting The cabinet meeting adjourned at 2 o’clock this afternoon. There was no business of special importance before the meeting. The Oregon Caw. The Oregon electoral case was the subject of a lenghty discussion in the Senate committee on elections to-day. The committee were una ble to decide upon the report as there are a large number of telegrams relative to this case which are not yet offered in evidence, but which will be offered to-day or to-morrow. The Senate committee on elections continued its investigation on the Oregon electoral case this evening. Wm. H. Hollister, cashier of tue banking house of Kountze Bros., New York, testified to the fact of two deposits being made at his bank aggregating $9,039 to the credit of J. H. N. Patrick, Omaha, by E. Davis. Senstor Kelley testified relative to cypher despatches and correspondence of Patrick with the national committee asking $10,000 to de fray expenses in connection with the Watts case. He never heard of the unlawful use of money in connection with the case mentioned and he never had an idea that any money would be used improperly in connection with it. Senator Mitchell offered the following tele gram, which he asked to have inserted in con nection with the testimony of Mr. Hollister: New York, Nov. 27. To J. H. N. Patrick, Salem, Oregon: Secure your points at all hazards. Commu nicate with me immediately giving prospects. (Signed,) Davis. At this point committee adjourned. Nominations and Confirmations. The Senate in executive session to-day con firmed the following nominations: Thomas Settle to be Judge of the IT. S. District Court (or the Northern District of Florida; medical director. Wm. Grier to be Chief of Bureau or Surgery in the navy department. The President sent to the Senate to-day, the nomination of John Grierson as Consul at Co quimbo. Failure of (he Pacific Railway Scheme. [Special despatch to the Boston Journal.] The session of the House Monday was more noteworthy for what was not accomplished than for what was. It was possibly the last chance for the consideration of the Texas Pacific and Central Pacific bills. The lobby, larger and more powerful than any that has been seen here since the Pacific Mail days, thronged ev ery corridor and occupied almost every vacant place upon the floor. Suggestions of all sortswere Ja V. r, »t. A, A AnA h/ian 4 a i njll AA 1 1, A A, a to oppose the motion to fix a day for the con sideration of the bill, which waa at the foot of the calendar, and could not be reached except by a suspension of the rules. It could not by any possible chance be advaneed upon the cal endar except by a motion to suspend the rules and fix a day certain for its consideration. If this could be accomplished the bill coaid then be passed by a bare majority. Every effort was strained to accomplish this. It is. even said that money was used freely, but of this there is no evidence. Finally, the pressure on the floor became so great that Durlnrn of Kentucky insisted that the Speaker should enforce the rule for the purpose of unprivileged persons on the floor of the House, adding that it was not possible to go twenty feet from the Speaker’s chair without running against half a dozen lobbyists. This bold assertion, aided by the Sergeant-at-Arms, cleared the floor, bat the House adjourned be fore Lamar bad any chance to make his mo tion; so the probability is that the immense Texas Pacific and Central Pacific grand combi nation scheme has failed lor this session. Various. Treasurer Wymer stated this afternoon that the government had not lost any money through the collections made by parties claim ing to represent others. In all instances of this character the moneys so collected have been re funded. The internal revenue receipts to-day were $201,958; customs $514,129. The condition of Mr. Stephens is so much improved that he is now believed to be out of danger. Contested Election. San Fbancisco, Jan, 30.—C ngiessman Soper of this district has notified Horace Dav is, the Congressman-elect, of bis intention of contesting his election on the ground that Davis received over 9000 fraudulent votes, the votes having been cast on certificates of enrollment and names of the voters not entered on the reg ister.

Placed on the calendar. Toe Pacific railroad bill came up and Mr. Mitchell concluded his speech in opposition to it. Mr. Thurman argued in favor of tbe bill from the judiciary committee and against that from the railroad committee. At3 30o’elock Mr. Wright called up the res o'ution in regard to selecting five senators to serve on the commission authorized by tbe electoral count bill and it was agreed to. Mr. Cragin moved that all of the five sena tors be vot d for at the same time, that each senator as his name shall be called shall rise in his place and name the five senators of his choice. Agreed to. Mr. Cragin nominated as members of the commission Oho. F. Edmunds of Vermont, Oliver P. Morton of Indiana and Frederick T. Frelingbuysen of New Jersey, and said he ex pected his friend from Kentucky (Stevenson) would nominate the other two members of the commission. He hoped they would be unani mously elected. Mr. Stevenson nominated Allen G. Thurman of Ohio and Thomas F, Bayard of Delaware, and said he joined with tbe senator from New Hampshire in expressing hope that they would receive the unanimous vote of the Senate. Mr. Cockrell said he understood that these names had been selected by the respective par ties in caucus and with that understanding he would cheerfully vote for them. The roll was then called and each senator rose in his place upon tbe call of his name and announced, “Mr. President, I vote for Messrs. Edmunds, Morton, Frelingbuysen, Thurman and Bayard.” The five candidates voted for each other, omitting their own name. The on 1 rr cunolnri o honnt am) nnf P At I n r* mn*n Tdin nis, EatoD, Hamilton, Harvey, Howp, Norwood and Price. At the conclusion of the roll call the Presi dent pro tem. announced that G8 votes had been cast, of which 33 were necessary to a choice, and that Edmunds, Morton, Freling huyseD, Thurman and Bayard had received the unanimous vote of the Senate and had therefore been chosen as members of the elec toral commission. Mr. Hamlin, from the committee on rules, said the committee had met with the House committee on rules in regard to some rule gov erning admissions to the Capitol during the count of the electoral vote, and he had been directed to report a concurrent resolution di recting the Sergeants-at-arms of the Senate and House respectively to appoint 50 men to serve as special policemen at the Capitol during the canvass of the vote for President and Vice President, or for such portion of said time as they shall deem necessary, the expense to be paid equally from the contingent fund of each House. In explanation of the resolution Mr. Hamlin said it was well known to all that the police force of this city was demoralized and the ob ject of appointing these special policemen was to have them look after the light-Sngered gen try who would be there. Mr. Thurman said there was a good deal of curiosity manifested in the counting of the vote and there always would be in any matter of importance. He thought there was a gener al feeling of peace aud good will and unless some good reason could be assigned he could see no use in appointing special policemen He moved that the resolution lie over. Mr. Hamlin said there was actually no police force within this city upon which any reliance could be placed. It was utterly demoralized and this extra police force was to protect citi zens Irom piliferers, many of whom had arriv ed in the city and others were on the way here Mr. Thurman said that explanation was sat isfactory and withdrew his motion that it ley over. The resolution was then agreed to. On motion of Mr. VVrigh6 the Secretary of the Senate was directed to advise the House of the action of the Senate in selecting mem bers of the commission. Mr. Sberman submitted an amendment to the bill in regard to the sinking fund to pay the indebtedness due from the Pacific Railroad so as to provide that the Central and Union Paci fie railroads shall pay into the treasury to the credit of such sinking fund 25 per cent, of their whole net earnings, providing the amount paid in any one year shall not exceed §1,500,000, and amount thus paid in shall be in lieu of 5 per cent, of the net earnings of one-half of the amount earned for transporting the mails, etc., paid into the treasury under existing laws' Ordered to be printed.

Referred to Commit tee on Foreign Affairs. Tbe House proceeded to the election of five members of the commission on the Presidential electoral count. Mr. Lamar put in nomination Payne of Ohio, Hunton of Virginia, Abbott of Massachusetts, Garfield of Ohio, and Hoar of Massachusetts, and moved that all five he voted for at once. Mr. Buckoer objected and demanded a vote on each name. The Speaker ruled that tbe matter was in the power of the House. He submitted the ques tion, and the House decided 210 to 20 to vote on all five at the same time. The Clerk then proceeded to call the roll and each member responded excepting five names, in their order. Some of the Republicans chang ed the order, commencing with the Republican candidates. The vote as finally summed up was as follows; For Payne 203; Huuton 203; Abbott 203; Garfield 240; Hoar 204. The Speaker thereupon announced the ap pointment of Payne.

Many people, Laving tried all the expensive remedies, and spent the last dollar upon articles of no merit, find, by the use of one email box of German Snuff, costing but 35 cents, so great a cure that they would i.ot be without tbe eame for hundreds of dollars. It does not sneeze your head off, but gently pen etrates the organs of the head and loosens the fou matter, which is simply poison, in the head. Bo wise, and procure a box; if you don’t need it yourself, remember that your wife or child, who for years past has com plained of that Catarrh, whl h has rendered life a curse, and made death almost welcome as a re lief from the living agony of day and night.

R/EDER’S German Snuff. Dou’t take any other preparation until you have tried this. Kemember, it costa but 35 cuts.

Friday morning the Mercantile library As sociation are to invite their friends to visit their rooms. Judge Virgin and the counsel on both sides ol the water question visited the dam in dispute yesterday. It looks as-though the trouble between the Y. M. C. A. aud the M. C. M. A. would be settled, aad no change in quarters be made. A small boy who had been listening to Prof Howe, foil down the stairs at Mechanics’ Hall last evening, aud judging from the noise he made, must have been*bidly hurt. There will be a gospel temperance and reviv al meeting this evening at Allen Missioo, Lo cust street, Addresses by C. A. R'chardson of Boston, and others. The public are cordially ’nvited. Those who gathered at the Municipal Court room bright and early yesterday morning were sadly disappointed for the cases they were look ing for did not tome off until afternoon, when the court room was deserted. A Good Time at Yarmouth.—We venture to say the party that went out to Capt. Lane’s Saturday night will not soon forget the kind, bountiful hospitality which greeted them there, uor the delightful ride which the occas ion afforded. The company seemed quite at home and contlihuted each a share towards making the evening most pleasautaDd enjoya ble. One of them. Sleighing Accidents.—The sleighs of Mr. Bert Winslow and Mr. Ebeu Wenthworth col lided on Middle street yesterday aftemoou and that of the latter was badly injured. A horse became frightened on Exchange street yesterday and dashed down to Moulton street, freeing himself from the sleigh. He was stopped on Moulton street after running into an out of.town team.

Quartette—The Dearest Spot of Earth is Home,. Benedict Mrs. Carter, Miss Holbrook, Mr. Collins, Mr. Bamabee. The Other Side.—The friends of Mr. A. S. Harford, of the late firm of Harford Dow, are of the opinion that that gentleman has re ceived rather severe treatment through the newspapers and they wish a word of explana tion published. Some few weeks ago Mr. Harfoid was arrested oa complaint of his part ner, charged with the larceny of books belong ing to the firm. I seems that the books worn taken to lits boarding place to read and were not concealed ia the least and would have been properly returned. His friends say that he was not arrested for rape as was staled, al though a woman threateued to have him ar rested, but when he assured her counsal that it would.not be a wise thing for her to do, as there was not the bast grounds for such a charge the matter was quickly dropped and has not been heard from since. Mr. Harford has settled up his financial affairs with his late partner and has been offered his o'd place in the firm. If injustice lus baen done Mr. Har ford through the newspapers it has been entire ly unintentional. The Coal Shovelers.—It was announced yesterday that all the coal shovelers of the city had decided at a large meeting not to work on and after tnat time for less than 15 cents Der ton. It seems that there is no coal here now to discharge and this action was preparatory. They formerly received ten cents per ton acd five men could handle 200 tons in a day and thus earn four dollars a day each. This is good pay for unskilled labor, bat the men complain that they can only earn it a portion of the time, and the remainier of the year they eara noth ing. Accordingly they, ask for six dollars per day or 15 cents per ton in order that they may average good wages the year round. It is thought that the stevedores will refuse to pay this advance as they exprers an opinion that an abundance of men can be procured at the old rates. One of the stevedores said yesterday that the prospect was that the’longshore men would probably get quarrelling among them selves before the strike was over and the rates would go lower than ever. J t would seem that the present is rather a bad time for laborers to ask for higher wages. A Winter Trotting Park.—A first class trotting couise was opened yesterday afternoon on the ice just this side of Marine Hospital. It is a mile or more in length, and over a half mile wide, a perfectly smooth surface. Yester day afternoon about 175 turnouts visited the place and a number of sharp matches were trotted. No time was taken, but it was the best horse that won each time. The sun was warm and bright making the scene a beautiful one. Most of the trotting was done by horses owned and driven by private individuals, pure ly for pleasure. There were but few profession al horsemen present and not a cent of money changed hands on the results. If the weather is pleasant to-day a very large number of teams will visit this place. There is no need of using the streets for racing while this course offers such fine facilities. Personal. Prof. Carmichael of Bowdotn College lectured at Salem in'.he Lowell Institute course Mon day evening on “Flamb”. Judge Fox of the United States District Court, and Mr. Edward Fox, of the firm of Mattocks Fox^left for a trip to Florida yes terday afternoon; The North Star speaking of the liepublican nomination for governor next summer, says: “Col. Kobie would be one of the strongest and most acceptable men whom the party could j nominate, and he would be elected by an old time majority.” vjupu vy m. xiaiisuuru uieu at me icsiueuuw of his son in this city yesterday at the age of 67 years. He returned from a trip to South Amer ica but a few days since. One of his sons, Mr. Charles Hartshorn, is conductor on the Ogdens burg road. Music Hall.—Last evening Boucicault’s pleasing Irish drama of “Colleen Bawn” was given at Music Hall by the new dramatic com pany named for the author of the piece. It was very appropriate for the company to play one of this popular author’s plays on the occasion of their first appearance in public. The hail was well filled and the characters were all well takeD. There was scarcely a wait in the whole performance, so well was the piece rehearsed. Chandler’s orchestra, under the direction of Fred ter Linden, furnished excellent music for the piece. The play will be repeated this tvaning, and as the receipts go to a charitable institution, there should be an unusually large audience. Woodford’s Cobneb.— Rev. Mr. Whittier, the Evangelist, still continues his labors with the churches at Woodford’s Corner. The meet ings are held at 3 and 7 p. m. each day, and are well attended. Mr. Whittier’s labors are al ready being crowned with success. During the sermons of Sunday and Monday eveniDgs the audience was visibly affected, and at the close a large number availed themselves of the invi tation to go dowa into the inquiry room. Among those who have expressed an interest in their future welfare have been several elder ly persons. Today will be observed as a day of fasting and prayer for the further success of the work Sad Accident.—Mr. Moses Hopkinson of North Buxton, while handling some lumber about a week ago stuck a small splinter into the palm of his band. He took cold in it, which resulted in an attack of erysipelas. The disease has assumed a very dangerous and painful form causing the band and arm to swell into a shape' less mass. Mr. Hopiinson is 78 years old, and as the disease is showing itself in different parts of bis body but little hope is entertained of his recovery. Annual Meeting.—The annual meeting of the Presumpscot Iron Workp, was held yester day afternoon and the old list of officers re elected as follows: President—Franc's McDonald. Treasurer—George E B Jackson. uirectors—rrancis Mcuonaiu, ueorge r>. u. Jackson, James I). Fessenden, Joseph S. Kick er and Henry M. Payson. K. of P’s Annual Ball,—Friday evening of this wetk Munjoy Lodge, Knights of Py thias give their annual ball at City Hall. The committee of arrangements ate hard at work upon the details and there is no doubt but what it will be a great success. The music will be Chandler’s very best. Overboard—A pair of horses owned by Mr. Harris, the truckman, went off Portland Pier yesterday noon. They were hoisted on to a scow and from there taken to the wharf. Al though in the water some time, it io not thought that they suffered beyond a thorough chilling. Information Wanted.—Mr. John Casey writes from Mt. Vernon, Macomb county, Michigan, as follows: Mr. Editor—I wish to find the whereabouts of one Mrs. Morrell, widow woman in the time of the war, who lived Borne where in this State I became intimately acquainted witb a man in my company, who enlisted in said company by the assumed name of James Hazzard. Just before the oattle of Petersburg he seemed to have a forewarning of his death, so he made known to me the fact that this was not His Dame, giving me the facts in the case. He told me his name was Amos Morrell, that his i mother was a widow woman who lived in the i State of Maine, that he had in a difficulty with a man killed him, so he absconded, came to Miohigan, finally enlisted under the name ol James Hazzard, requested me if he should be killed to send her his money as he had some amount, giving me her address. He was killed in the above-named battle. I was severely wounded, so that I could not comply with his request. I lost the address of his mother and did not think much about it UDtil lately. Knowing that 6he would be entitled to consid i erable money from the government, and per haps in need of it, I thought it would be mj 3 duty to go to the trouble of finding her, if possi ble, so I have taken this course of finding her If she is still living she can write to me and 1 can give her all the information, by letter, nec essary. I remain, yours, &c., John Casey, Alt. Vernon, McComb county, Alicb. Academy Fond of Colby University.— Nearly $0,000 was received last week toward the Academy Fund of Colby University.

Haines, not Hawes, as published. IN GENERAL. Weather prophets are predicting a freshet of unusual magnitude next spring. They argue, that as we had no heavy rain during the fall of 1876, these will be unusually copious in the spring, and as there is a la'ge body of snow on the land, the streams will be unprecedently swollen. The muskrat is said to be retreating from the river banks so as to escape a wetting, Freeman, the oyster man, is doing a great business just now. The oysters sent from this well known house on Union wharf are always fresh aud nice. If any one there be who has not tried them, they should do so at once.

East Stoneham, Me., May 12, 1873. Messrs. Seth W Fowle Sons: Gentlemen—I feel it my duty to write a few words in favor of Dr. Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry. In the earh part of last winter I took a severe cold, and shortly after a distressing cough was added to it. My friends did everything they could for me, but without avail. The best physicians that could be pro cured did uot relieve me, aud my cough con tinued with me all through the winter with increasing severity. I sp.t blood three or four times a day, and my friends considering my case hopeless gave me up as a confirmed con sumptive. I was in this condition when I heard of Dr. Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry. I began its use, and before I had taken half a bo.tie of it my cough and all my other troubles left me, aud 1 was cured. I feel so truly indebted to this great remedv for what it has done for me that I send you this volun tary testimony, hoping it may be the means of inducing others who are suffering as I was, to make use of it. It is the best remedy for lung complaints.that I ever heard of, and I am con stantly recommending it to my friends. Yonrs,-witb respect, Mrs. Melissa M Ball 50 cents an J $1 a bottle. Sold by all drug gists. jan‘29eod&vvlw Thousands are indebted for the health they now enjoy to the curative properties of DR. BULLOCK’S KIDNEY REMEDY, NEPH RETICUM, which expels from the system all diseases of the kidneys and bladder, glandular troubles, mental and physical debility, female irregularities, etc. 12—27—42 juj4 eod&wlw. SCARCITY OF MONEY. There is no doubt but the present condition of all kinds of business and industry is tearfully depressed and it behooves every family to look carefully to their expenses. Winter is coming on when children are liable to Croup, Whooping Cough, etc. Coughs and Colds will prevail everywhere, and Consumption with other throat and lung diseases, will carry off many.—These diseases should not be neglected. Doctor’s bills are expensive, and we would advise our people to use Boschee’s German Syrup, It never has failed. One bottle at 75 cents will keep your whole family well during the winter, Two doses will relieve any case, Sold in all towns in the United States, and by your Druggist se20 dlyeom Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrvp, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.—These deservedly celebra ted and popular medicines have effected a revolution in the healing art, and proved the fallacy of several maxims which have for many years obstructed the progress of medical science. The false supposition that “Consumption is incurable” deterred physicians from attempting to find remedies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to death without making an effort to escape from a doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. It is now proved, however, that Consumption can be cured, and that it has been cured in a very great number of cases (some3 of them apparently desper ate ones) by Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in ther cases by the same medicine in connection with Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according to the requirements of the case. Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted good health for more than forty years, was supposed, at one cime to be at the very gate of death, his phy sicians having pronounced his case hopeless, and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the aferesaid medicines, and, since his recovery, many thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Schenck’s preparations with the same remarkable success, j Full directions accompany each, making it not ab solutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck un less patients wish their lungs examined, and for this purpose he is professiodally at his principal office, Coiner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every Monday,where all letters lor advice must be address* ed.

POETRY. t A Dutch Picture. BY HENRY W. LONGFELLOW. Simon Danz has come home again, From cruising about with his buccaneers: He has singed the beard of tbe King oi Spain, And carrie i away tbe Deau of Jaen And sold him in Algieis. In his house by the Maese, with its roof of tiles, And weather-cocks flying aloft in air There are silver tankards of antique styles, Plunder of convent aud castle, and piles Of carpets rich and rare. In his tulip-garden there by the town, Overlooking the sluggish stream, With bis Moorish cap and dressing gown The old sea captaiu, hale and brown, Walks in a waking dream. A smile in bis gray mustachio lurks Whenever he thinks of the King of Spain. And the listed tulips look like Turks, And the silent gardener as he works Is changed to the Dean of Jaen. v The windmills on the outermost Verge of the landscape in the haze, To him are towers cn the Spanish coast, With whiskered sentinels at their post, Though this is the River Maese, But when the Winter rains begin. He tits and smokes by the blazing brands. And old sea-faring men come in. Goat-bearded, gray, and with double chin, And rings upon their hands. They sit there in the shadow and shine Of the flickering Are of the winter night, Figures in color and design Like those by Rembrandt of the Rhine, Half darkness and half light. And they talk of their ventures lost or won, And their talk is ever and ever the same, While they drink the red wins of Tarragon, From the cellars of some Spanish Don, Or convent set on flame. Restless at times with heavy strides He paces bis parlor to and fro; He is like a ship that at anchor rides, And swings with the rising and tailing tides, And tugs at her anchor-tow. Voices mysterious far and near, Sound of tbe wind and sound ef the sea, Are calling and whispering in his ear, “Simoa Danz 1 Why stayest thou here! Come forth and follow me!” So he thinks he shall take to the sea again For one more cruise with his buccaneers, To singe the beard of the King of Spain, And capture another Deau of Jaen And sell him in Algiers. —Atlantic Monthly. THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. laameness in Harsca* The discovery of navicular disease by the late Mr. James Tuoner makes an epoch in the history of veterinary surgery. Up to that time obscure forms of lameness were always referred to the chest or shoulder, or to some other part of the limbs, which is, in reality, exempt from diseases altogether, or at least very rarely attacked. It has long been known that working horses were subject to defective action in the fore limbs of a peculiar character. The animal’s movements indicated stiffness and a difficulty of advancing the fore feet suf ficiently, so that the steps are remarkably short. At the same time the rider or driver perceived a laboring action of the shoulder, and in cases of long standing the muscles of the breast were shrunken, and the front of chest become narrow and contracted. This form of lameness was commonly known as “chest founder,” or “grogginess,” and it wa believed that the defective action was due to loss of power in the muscles of the ftont of the chest, the pectoral region. No very ex act notion seems to have been entertained of the nature of the disease, and there are no records of post-mortem examinations being made to ascertain what changes had occurred in the parts which were assumed to be the seat of the disorder. In old farrier’s lore chest founder” "was a disease to which horses were subject, and which was indicated by a peculiar action, easily recognized by an experienced obsc ver. Nearly forty years ago Mr. Turner publish ed a small pamphlet, in which he give the results of his invsBtigations into the nature and origin of the “groggy” lameness which was so prevalent among horses working in larger towns. Failing to discover auything to account for the lameness in the muscles of the chest, Mr. Turner directed his attention to i he foot, an organ which had engaged his special attention for many years. His iuquiry was rewarded by the discovery of the disease in the smallest bone in the foot, a structure which had hitherto been 'ooked i pon as one of trifling importance, but which suddenly as sumed a prominent position, which it had since retained. Unlike most discoveries of value, that made by Mr. Turner was received without opposi tion indeed, his facts were so clearly estab lished by numerous dissections, and the ex planations of a disease which had always been obscure in its nature, was so simple and satisfactory, that there was no room lor cavil ing, and the disease was generally introduced among me nst, oi maiauies ot uie Horses, ana the name of its discoverer is hardly remem bered. The navicular bone is distinguished among the bones of the foot as the smallest, and as having the greatest extent of articular surface, that is to say, it contiibutes to the formation of more joints than either of the other bones in the organ. It is situated at the back of the pedal bone, with which it unites by its anterior edge. Its upper portion helps to form the principal joints in the foot—that be tween the pedal bene and short pestern—and its posterior surface forms a point with the tendon, which passes down the back of the leg, and is inserted into the bottom of the coffin bone. This concise discription will give an idea of the relations of the navicular bone with the other foot-structure; but it is need less to observe that a perfectly correct view of the foot can only be obtained by a careful dissection. When tha animal’s weight is thrown on the fore-feet in the ordinary movements of the body, the tendon which passes over the back of the navicular bone is brought into close contact with it, and it will readily be under stood that constant and often rapid move ments on hard roads will have the effect of sitting up irritation in the structure of the bone, which is so situated as to be most ex posed to concussion. Mr. Turner ascribes navicular disease to two principal causes—a system of shoeing which did not allow of ex pansion, and keeping horses standing in stalls the floors of which were so inclined that un due weight would be thrown on the fore-feet We shall endeaver to show however, that other canses are in common operation to pro duoe the disease.—-Agricultural Gazette. Carpet Bug. Those who are thrifty householders, who care for the preservation of whatever carpets may cover their floor, be they of ingrain or tapestry, of Velours or the richest and most costly kind manufactured—and to those who possess carriage furniture, cushions, seats, blankets, robes, will this article be found of interest. Through the courtesy of Dr. Lint ner, New York State Entomologist, we are enabled to speak “by the book” of that new and pestiferous insect (new as far as this country is concerned) the Anthrenusscroph ularice, familiarly known in Europe as the “carpht bug.” It belongs to the family l)er mestidoe, which comprises many of those de structive insects whose operations bring to mind the biblical quotation of moths, etc. Care must be taken not to confound it with the well-known carpet moth, from which it differs entirely, both in appearance and habit. Concealing itself beneath the carpet or in the folds of rugs and cushioned seats, it preys not only upon woolen but cotton fabrics, and is therefore to be apprehended where ordinary moths would never be found. Sometimes it will follow the lines of cracks across a floor, eating holes in a carpet frequently an inch in diameter. Dr. Iiintner describes it substanti ally as follows:— A small flVotA nVu'o/vt ohnrif r\rv♦ V, an inch in length, thickly clothed with num erous short bristle-like hairs, and terminat ing in a pencil of these forming a tail. It is exceedingly active in its motions, and glides away very rapidly. Like the house-fly it dis appears in winter, aud eats only during the summer months. “I captured several of the larvas and fed the in upon pieces of carpet in order to rear them. In September they had evidently matured and had assumed their quiescent pupal state within the skin of the larvse, first rent by a split along the back for the escape of the perfect insect. At this stage I was led by a study of its character to refer it, in all proba bility, to the genus AnUirenua, Week before last I had the great gratification of obtaining from the pupa; the first example of the per fect insect. It was a very minute beetle ap proximately one-tenth of an inch in length, bnt beautifully marked in a prettily arranged combination of red, white, and brown. I bad, beyond doubt, correctly referred it to lt3 proper genus. The detection of this insect adds to our fauna another species of the dreaded genus of Anthrenus, perhaps to equal in its distinctive agency the well-known museum pest the A. variua (formerly known ai A. musaeorum) the obtrusive guest of all our collections of natural history, whose rav ages it seems impossible fully to guard against, and so exceedingly difficult "to control.” In Schenectady. N. Y., it has been found, Itds believed, in ‘every house, and in Utica, discovered to such an extent that the house keepers have searched carefully, too often with success. Dr. Lintner also says of these insects:— “It is necessary to look for them frequent ly, and tor the greater convenience of repeat ed search many of the housekeepers have left their carpets unnailed.” Of course, as Winter is approaching, there need be little fear for some months of a diver sified increase, but, like the Colorado beetle, it will probably spread rapidly, and. therefore, ample warning is given to learn its habits aud guard against.its inroads.-Tur/, Field Farm Fertilizing the Orchard. Iu reply to queries upon Ibis subject, tbe Scientific Farmer advises, as tbefiesb ot most fruit contains much potash, as well as lime, in combination with the iruit, acids, and the seed phosphoric acid, the application each year per acre of from two hundred to two hundred anu fifty pounds of bone dust, three hundred to four hundred pounds of sulphate cf potash—the latter guaranteed to contain thirty-five or forty per cent, of sulphate of potash. This would give us seventy or eighty pounds of potash, fifty or sixty pounds of lime (from the bones), ten fo forty pounds of nitrogen, and some magnesia iu the potash and fertilizer. Such treatment has beep found successful by fruit growers in both this country and Europe. We should apply broadcast in the fall to the surface, and leave it to the rains to incorprate with the soil, or at most only harrow the fertilizer in, A ton of dry, unleached wood ashes per acre would nearly furnish the same ingredients. The same amount of mineral phosphate as men tioned of bones would furnish more phos phoric acid, but in a more insoluble condition. Portland Wholesale Price. Curreul.
