Nh. CoRcoRAS intends on his return from Eu-
rope to erect country house on his estate north
Of the city, near the farm of the late John Agg,
and short distance from the Glenwo0d Cemetery.
The situation is high and salubrious, and although
the soil IL barren, Mr.. Corcoran Is determined by
the assistance of capital and skill to render II not
inferior In productyeness 10 any farm In the Dis
trict. When bis improvements are completed ne

Herald that M. O. has recently sold several lots In
the upper part Of New York for "a 500 each.
These lots, IL We mistake not, were part Of the
estate of Samuel Swartw0ut, which came into the
possession Of the United States, and were bought
by Mr.. Corcoran for $50 each He also purchased
many lots in Newark, New Jersey, belonging TO
the same estate, for $40 each. Mr.. Corcoran must
have realized large fortune from the purchase Of
SwArtwouts property alone.
RACHEL 10 CoxIs0.- Rachel, the distinguished
French tragic actress, win perform at the National
early in December. We learn that the price Of
tickets Is to be IS for the lower part Of the house.
We regard this as altogether too high. In New
York the maximum priceswas $S, and In Boston
g. Washington q BY no means a wealthy city,
and her citizens ought not to be taxed higher for
their Injuries than the citizens of New York, II as
high. We therefore hope that Mons. Felix will
reduce his scale Of prices to point enable
our citizens to give Rachel full house. At rs q
ticket We cannot promise anything like large
audience.

shire, veterans, q military corps of one hundred
men, propose to visit this city next month. They

sent truly unique appearance They are among
the most venerable and respectable citizens OF
Amoskeag, and deserve great credit for their pat
riotic spirit.

Denmark. at
THE CrsrRr MARHET.--The market this morn
ing was wen supplied with everything In the pro-
visionary line; but prices weregret to state, were
as high as ever, with the exception Of vegetables.
If this state Of things continues, many of our citi-
zens win be compelled to adopt vegetarian diet
az q matter of necessity.
Notwithstanding the abundant rains Of the pres
ent year, good butter is enormously high. What
IL the cause of this anomaly It seems to US there
must be "gouging" somewhere. II 30, where Is
itf Let us know, Il possible.

SERIOUS ACcIDEsr.--About Il IL A. NJ, lady
whose rame we did not learn, was run over near
nue., by buggy, and severely injured.
The lady was taken into Gilman's Drug store,
and physicians were promptly on the spot. She
was nsensibe, and unable to give her name. The
nature of her injuries we did not learn.
P.S. Since the above was in type we have
learned that the unfortunate person injured an
fish woman, and we regret to announce that she
died about ~ o'clock, and before she could be re-
moved from the drug store. Her brain was injur-
ed by the conclusion, and being In very delicate
condition, the result was fatal. Her husband,
whose name We could not learn, was informed Of
the accident, and came TO the store before her
death, but che did not recognise him.
This sad accident was solely the result Of furious
driving. The buggy was driven by boy, but his
name has not been ascertained We trust that ac-
tive measures win be taken 10 apprehcnd him.
