PHENOMENON Not keeping as late hours as
ourneighbor the Republican or rather his 'dey,
ii''-who is announced as editor OF the last issue OF
that paper-we were not permitted to see the phe-
nompnon which he thus describes:
Strange Fog.-We witnessed on Sunday night
last between II and | O'Clock the sudden rising
of a dense fog, which covered the greater part OF
the city TO tho height of twenty or thirty feet
boye the houses; it as suddenly and slowly be-
gan to recede travelling from North to the South
its track being marked by the glare of the gas
lights sending their rays in a broad belt upwards
through it; it left the city sleeping in clear at
mosphere of the midnight honr-and uncons eious-
ly we thought of 1.-THE pestience that walketh IN
darkness" and 1.-THE destruction that walketh at
poondav."

TuE MAINE ELECTION, though resulting in a
detoat of the Republican party; has not turned
out triumph oi the Democrats. 1t seems that
the straight out Wings have secured the balance
of power. To the Senate, thirteen Democrats
eight Wings and three Republicans are elected
which WAS the political complexion of members
holding over, may probably enable the Wings 10
exercise controlling influence if they sec fit to
do SO in that body. In the other House, the re.
suit is the same. So far the returns have been
received, % Democrats, 50 Republicans aud II
Wings have been elected, The Wings were of
course elected on Fusion tickets got up by the
opponents of the Maine Law. On that question
they will side with the Democrats. but on all
others, their position is doubtful. The Repuhh-
can party, though defeated, polls larger vote
than last year; the total in |26 towns being 49,
299 now for Morrill,, against ] ,602 last year.--
Reed, the Wing candidate for Governor. received
9s92 in the same towns this year, against 1857
last year The defeat stems To be the result af
the very large increase of the Democratic vote
consequent upon Democ rat, for Governor, this
year receiving AZ, IA against 20 s5l in the same
towns last year for Paris. who was then the De
mocratic candidate. Wells Democrat, cannot

CoFFEE.-In Kingstous Forest Life in Cey-

of coffee: The subtle aroma which resid in
the essential oil of coffee. is gradually dissipated
after roasting and of course still more after being
ground. In order TO enjoy the full flavor in per
fecien the berry should pass at once from the
roastng-pan to the mill and thence 10 the coffee
pot; and agan after having been made, should
be mixed at a boiling heat with the hot milk. 1t
must be bad coffee, in iced, which, if these pre-.
cautions be taken will not afford an agreeable aud
