HOW TO PROMOTE DOMESTIC
HAPPINESS.
Said Mrs Smith to Mrs Brown,
As they were walking through the town,
Nhere do you do your shopping
That dress you re in, SO neat and hne,
That when | see it, really mino
Looks positively shocking
"Im sure your husband Mrs. Brown
Now don't be angry, pout and fIown-
l. not SO rich as mine,
And yet you can afford TO buy
Just twice aS much, or more than l.
And how, | cannot divine
says Mrs. Brown to Mrs. Smith
Z" The reagon you II be startled with,
1t is so simple clear
You buy on credit, for cash,
buy bargains you buy trash,
| cheap, while you pay dear
oWhene' 'er you want a dress or shawl,
collar, hose, or what-not call
At the cheap MAMMOTH SToRE,
They'll sell You goods so very low
That you vill sSlse to wonder 20,
How much rich goods I've wore
"My husband as you truly say,
Is poorer, far, than yours to-day,
And yetI can buy more,
Because each dollar of his few
Is, to me, just AZ good as two,
At the cheap MAMMOTH STORE
So satisfied was Mrs. Smith
With Mrs. Browne new arith-
metic, which did convince
The fret, and opened 50 her eyes,
She hasn't ceased to patrOniIe
The MAMMOTH ever since.
And now, when you chance TO meet
Her husband, Smith, upon the street.
Around the corner coming,
His face is lighted with smile,
Ills step elastic-all the while
pleasant tune he's humming
Ladies', if like effect you'd see
In your dear spouse, which you and he,
Perchance, nee'r saw before,

IMPORTANT LEGAL DECIsIoN.-The full
bench of the supreme court has just given a
decision, establishing the validity of the liquor
seizures made in this city last spring. The
decision is very important one, this being the
first time that liquor seizure case involving
all the principles of the law of 1866, since
incorporated in the General Statutes, has been
carried up to the higher court.
In February last the police, upon war;
rant issued from the police court, seized
large lot Of liquor in the store of Joseph S.
Hill, and commenced an action against Hill
and James 5. Leayens, and for the confisca-
ton Of the liquors and vessels. Mr. Leavens
sued out counter writ in Boston, where m
ries are full as favorable in liquor cases, as
IN Worcester, against the mayor, the mar
shall, and all the other officers, valuing his IL
quors at $4,000. The case in behalf of the
commonwealth was tried at the Nav term of
the superior court, and a verdict returned for
the government finding that the liquors were
kept in violation of law and liable to confisca-
ton. Numerous objections were brought for
ward at the trial to the regularity of the pro-
ceedlngs, and motion made to quash it for
lnformality, but the objections and the motion
were oyer-ruled by the court, and exceptions
were then taken by the defendants and carried
up to the supreme judicial court. They were
argued at the October term, but the court
then gave no decision, reserving its opinion
for fuller consultation.
Yesterday, rescript was received by the
clerk OF the court, oyerruling all exceptions,
and sustaining the prosecution in every par
ticular
As Mr.. Leavens' actfin was in tort, where
the liability depended on a violation of law and
as the superior courts have now decided that
the defendants had right to seize, we pre-
sumo this and all similar actions may be con-
sdered settled.
We are glad to have the law Of the land
maintained We are glad to have the exec
utive and police Of this city, who certainly
ran some risk in so large seizure, sustained
IN their action. And we are glad that the
correctness of the proceedings superintendent

GEN. McCLELLAN's REMovAL.-The tr,,tb
Is, nobody is authorized to say that this letter
OF Gen. Halleck is either the sole or cbiof
cause of the removal of Cen Mcclellan, Il
was to be sure, published just after the remov.
al, but so, also, was the report of the com
mission appointed to investigate the circum-
stances attending the surrender of Harper's
Ferry. 1t is difficult to say which is most
damaging to Gen. Mcclellan, the report of
this Harper's Ferry commission, or General
Halleck's letter. General Mcclellan was
not removed on account of either of these
things, separately or combined, taken by
themselves, but, from the gradual growth of a
public sentiment unfavorable to him, and
which finally reached such point of strength
as to be irresistible. Undoubtedly, the north
ern elections precipitated the result Dem
ocrats had partially succeeded in those cleo
tons, upon the issue which they made, that
the conduct Of the war was not sufficiently
vigorous. SO far as the people endorsed this
view, it clearly amounted to an instruction to
the president to put a different man at the
head of the army Of the Potomac Washing
ton Republican.

GEN. Fosters EXPEDITION. - Light is
breaking upon the movements of our troops
in North Carolina, about which SO many con-
Aicting reports have been current during the
last few days. The reported capture OF three
thousand prisoners near the mouth of Roam
oke river, is known to have been groundless
but the expedition has made uninterrupted
progress, and probably before this has sue
ceeded in cutting the most important line of
communication between Virginia and the cot
ton states. The latest dates left General Eos
ter's forces at Hamilton, on the 4th inst,
with the enemy at Tarboro, whittier they had
precipitately retreated. Tarboro is at the
head of navigation on the Tar river-in the
direction ofthe Weldon and Wilmington rail
road-and has considerable trade by means of
small boats. The place is doubtless in our
hands. Newbern adyices to the 7th--the date
OF the snow storm here-say the weather has
been like July, with China and Tea roses
blossoming in profuSion in the gardens.

The HARPER's FERRY CRNEs.-Major
Gen. Wool publishes brief note in relation
to the censure put upon him by the Harper's
Ferry commission for placing Col. Miles
in command. He says: at is not true that
jplaced ''this incapable (Col. Niles in COM
maud of Harper's Ferry" He was there in
command at the time when assumed control
OF this department, and had been ordered to
establish his headquarters there, on the 29th
OF March, by Major Gen. Mcclellan, then
General-in-Chief." 1t is stated in behalf of
the commission, that in making up their report
the secretary was instructed to substitute the
word retaining" for ''placing"-thus making
the arraignment to correspond with the fact.
The secretary, however, omitted to make the
alteration, and, hence Gen. Woods letter.
He says he shall make further reply to the
commission at a future period.

OF Temperance of Massachusetts, have given
their reasons for Withdrawing, in a public
statement. 1t will be remembered that their
disatiection sprung from the admission of
colored delegate to the recent sessions of the

aggrieved, adopted some resolutions, in which
they inform the world that they have no svm-
pathy with the "deluded, false philanthropy
which recognizes the negro as equal to the
white man. that it is the duty of divisions
whose delegates ''voted for the admission the
negro into the grand division, to expel such
delegates from the ORDER" that it is "tbe
duty of the national division of North Ameri.
ca to revoke tlie violated charter of the grand

The FIFTEENTH NEw HAMPSHIRE REGI-
unteers, passed through this city Thursday
afternoon about half-past one o'clock, by
the Nashua and Norwich roads. There were
fine looking body of men, about 900 in all,
representing the sturdiest farmers and me-
CHANCES of the Granite State. They had been
encamped for several weeks at Concord.
Their colonel, John w. kingsman of Dur
ham, doing business at Dover, is a leading
member of the bar. He was a class-mate
in college with captain Higginson, grad
uating at Harvard in 1913. The lieuten-
ant colonel is George w. Frost, of Newman
ket; the major, Henry w. Blair, of Plymouth;
.jutant, Edward Z. Pinkham, of Laconia
quartermaster, Ira A. Moody, of Dover;
chaplain, Edwin NJ Wheelock, of Dover;
surgeon, jeremiah f. Hall, of Marlborough;
assistant surgeons, Benjamin n. Towle of
Newmarket, and DIR. Joseph L. Janvrin, of
the New Hampshire second; commissary,
Alyah Kimball of Rochester. The band Of
twenty four piece, is composed entirely of en-
listed men, detailed from the ranks. The
leader is Nathaniel Robinson, of Newmarket.
This regiment is ordered to report to Gen.
Banks, at New York.
The sixteenth New Hampshire regiment,
Col. James Pike, ex-member of congress, in
camp at Concord, will be ready to follow next
week. The colonel, adjutant and five of the
captains of the sixteenth are Methodist
preachers.

WHATS IN A NAME ?'-Those who respond
to the urgent appeals for our soldiers in hos
pitfalls, are requested to put their name and
residence on each parcel. Much good has
been done by attention to this simple request;
If in no other way, the stamp of individuality
is not small. Some touching incidents are re-
lated, illustrating the effect where name was
found, better than medicine. One case is de-
scribed by nurse in hospital near Wash
ington. A man reduced with lingering fe-
yer became in despairing conditions no IA
miliar face or kindred friend had cheered him
IN his suffering. He felt forsaken by God
and man; with wasted strength and enfeebled
mind he lay upon his lowy cot; turning his
head he thought there was something familiar.
A thought of his home rose before his eyes,
his emaciated hand moved the covering on his
bed and there he saw the maiden name OF his
wife He was alone no longer-hs own dear
wife had cared for his comfort-kope revived,
from that moment he began to mend, and
recovered. Accident had placed this gift OF a
kind wife just where it did its best, having
been forwarded with other contributions.
