1Y-The editor of the Portsmouth Chroni-
lie is trying to find out how to collect bill
Or printing, of defunct lyceum. He had
letter get out writ, returnable to the "Court
II Death"
sB-"Oscar" writes beautifully plain hand,
ut his ideas are so much diluted with sweet
ned water, that, though we have fished for
full half hour over his article, we have been
nable to hook one.
eg-In the article signed "Maine," in yes
,rday's Press, one line was left ont through
iistake, which marred the article, though it
id not so far obscure the meaning as to rem
er republication necessary.
sg- The Rockland Democrat says the
could ticket in that county was squeezed to
cath. Gould himself nominated against Blaine
e Augusta, for Congress, is squeezed SO thin
lat he could scarcely cast a shadow.
1H- The New York World thinks the re-
ent disasters imperiously demand that the
resident should reconstruct his cabinet, and
lys Aberdeen and Newcastle had to resign
n mismanagement in the Crimea, not hun
redth part SO gross or so damaging"
SHIPMAsTER's OATH OF Automatically
irtue of instructions TO all the Collectors of
'ustoms the Secretary of the Treasury has or
cred that the late law Of Congress shall be
forced, which requires all American ship
lasters, whenever they clear, whether foreign
coastwise, to take an oath of allegiance to
lie United States.
sR- A Smoker" in one of the New York
apers, estimates that the cost of cigars con-
lmed in that city, will amount to 100000 a
eek. He proposes to reduce the smoke one
ali, benefit the smoker thereby in health, and
lace $4,000 per week in the hands of the
anitary Commission, and declares his readi-
ess to be bound by the proposition.
sg-The Pope who was said never to have
sued a bull, but to have issued bullets in
cad, seems to have made a bull in his recent
,mpaign, and the President has sent him out
.nong the prairies of the West, where he can
asture the animal at cheap rate. In the alb
,nce of further light, however, the people will
slow to believe that Pope was not allowed
fail through sheer neglect of duty on the
ut of those who should have sustained him.

al vote for this County, except the towns of
ridgton and Scarboro, mot yet returned) for

SUDDEN DEATH. Mr. WIN. H. Hills. well
nown and esteemed citizen of Rockland, died
cry suddenly in st. john N. b. ON Wednes-
ay, whittier he had gone a few days previous
n business.-Bangor Wing.
The Rockland Free Press learns that Mr..
ILLS, whose death is mentioned In the above
aragraph, was murdered by blue-nosed seces-
onists, because like true, brave and devoted
american citizen, he refused to haul down the
tars and stripes to a mob of rebel sympathiz-
rs in British port!
sIrThe Washington correspondent of the
traveller writes-"Of course there must be
iuch of suffering in hospital where one hun
red were provided for, and where three hun
red were carried. But so soon as this was
lade known, the building and grounds swarm
with ladies' they performed disgusting of-
es with steady nerves; they cut OFF the horr-
lie filthy clothes of sufferers with their own
ands-spunged wounds swarming with YER
inland clad the poor fellows in their hus-
ands', and failing these, in their own clothing.
t did not strike me as ludicrous, as | saw one
ix-foot Maine lumberman, with a breast as
haggy as a bufialo-robe, arrayed in an en-
roidered chemise instead OF shirt"
DREsDEN.-A rousing war meeting was
ED in this old town on the evening of the 9th
lst., and the quota of the town was promptly
lade up without resorting to a draft. Messrs.
hubbard and Clark, of Wscasset, and Deer
~, of Richmond, addressed the meeting in
tirring speeches, and good time was the re-
ult; and to cap all, writes correspondent,
there was one man who made some remarks
ather derogatory to the volunteers, and they
the yolunteers took it up, made him mount
he rostrum, show himself to the crowd, and
iake a suitable apology"
a8r When an individual exhibits an I'M
sual amount of impudence or presumption,
he boys are accustomed to speak of it as
cheek" The last manifestation of this quail
that attracted our attention, was in Thurs
ay's Argus, where in the editorial leader, that
ase defamer of Abraham Lincoln,an endorser
fthe infamous resolves of the late Dem. State
on, accuses the Press of an assault on Pres
