Temperance BowLING SALooN.-Wm. S.
Vosc who keeps Bowling Saloon on the
Bath road has opened the same, this season,
on the Temperance principle, and allows no
gambling on the premises. One great ohJec-
ton against Bowling Saloons, with large
portion of the community, is that they cncour-
age the growth OF ln,cmpcrancc and propcn-
sity for gambling. But Mr.. Nosc intends 10
exclude both of these vices from his establish
ment. Those of our citizens and strangers
who wish to enjoy the healthy exercise OF
Bowling, would do we'll to give MIR. Nose a
call. and encourage him in the stand hc has
taken.

his icroclous aspirations after a hangman's job,
whose functions he is evidently much better

protest. in the name of the honorable body to

Things in Boston and Iicinity.


AS this is an age of steam and excitement,
thought that short chapter of hurried scribblings
might not come amiss. Since Boston was first
laid out, do not recollect ever having seen so
much commotion in every affair of life, as at the
present moment. In business, the great forgery
trials of Miller are creating stormy excitement
in State street, and at our municipal court, which
is the ''head quarters of merchants, merchants
clerks, brokers, Swartwoute and such fnanciers
have, intend treadlng IN the footsteps or the
defendant.
In politics, the CRISIS ought to be fast approach
lrg if we may Judge from nightly torch-light pro-
cessions, warm and sparkling debates in the open
air, and short sparrings IN the thousand and one
club rooms that fill the city.
The theatres, with the exception Of the Boston,
which Is nightly filled by the eloquence OF Forrest,
and the National, managed by the veteran Pelby,
and the best man IN the world, Thomas Barry, are
nearly deserted In the latter establishment, new
local drama by w. B. English, author of "Rosina
Meadows" and the "ChaTter Oak" two of the best
pieces ever performed, is in preparation, and when
produced under the sklful superintendence OF Mr..
Barry, Will have great rum as all his pieces have
had, in Boston and other cities.
Our municipal authorities are now actively en-
gagged In making preparations to celebrate the in
PRODUCTION OF pure water into Boston, which will
take place on the 25th inst. 1t will be great day,
perhaps greater than we have seen for years past;
ard so II ought to be.
In our, vicinity. politics are raging like the
Asiatic understanding else is talked Of nothing
else Is thought Of: In my visits to the adjoining
towns, "dropped i'm at Dedham, few days ago,
