that town. He had an examination last week

in the sum of $1,000 to answer at the Supreme
Judicial Court.
WNDHAM's QUoTA.-Yesterday forty-nine
recruits, all fine looking men, the quota from
the town Of Windham, came into the city, and
were examined by DIR. Ludwig, the Examining
Surgeon. There was but one man of the num-
Der rejected for physical disability. Good for
Windham! The men win 20 into camp next
Monday.
sE-Our thanks and those of the public are
due to James 5. Bedlow, Esq, Of the Ameri-
can Telegraph Company, for not only throw
ing his lines open Monday night throughout
the State, but giving us the entire election re-
turns Of the State free Of charge. The liber-
atty OF the American Company in thus serv-
ing the public gratis each year, (which Is done
In no other State,) is highly appreciated by us,
and should be by the public.
NEW BUILDINGs.-In our notice a day or
two since Of new buildings going up in this
city, we omitted TO mention the beautiful
dwelling-house erecting on the Sturdevant lot
on State street for Mr.. Drown; also the block
OF stores on Lime and Milk streets, erected by
the Ocean Insurance Company. Chase & Co.
are the masons, CoIley and Rogers the carpen-
tiers, and Harding the architect, employed
on these buildings.
THE FoRGERY.-The fellow who attempted
to swindle the Merchants Bank, by means of
forged check, as mentioned in our issue of
yesterday, is named George II. Colhoun. He
was formerly in business in Philadelphia. He
is gentlemanly in appearance and manners,
and is little deaf, or pretends so to be. The
check for $4,000, which he deposited in the
Merchants Bank, purported to be signed by
Newall, Rogers Co., and certified to as good
by Mr.. Williams, the teller of the Butchers
e. Drover's Bank. 1t was returned to Mr..
Payson yesterday with a protest that both
check and certificate were forgeries.
STEAM FIRE ENGINEs.-By the proceedings
Of the City Council, as published in our paper
Of yesterday, It will be seen that we are to
have four steam fire engines, thus doing away
with all the hand engines except one at each
extremity Of the city. 1t Is calculated that
this win be a saving in the expenses OF the
Fire Department TO our city, besides providing
more efficient means for extinguishing fires.
TARGET PRAcrIcE.-A company Of stall
wart men, about 60 in number, belonging to
the 18th U. S. Regiment, who were recruited
in Indiana, came over from Fort Preble yester-
day morning. and marched through our streets
TO the music Of Poppinburg's Band. They
proceeded TO the old camp ground near the
Marine Hospital, and practised target shoot
ing. The target was a full length portrait of
JEFF. Davis, and it was riddled with balls in
most unmerciful manner.
HoSoRs TO A DECEASED SoLDIER.-The
funeral Of Capt. Menzies X. Fessenden took
place yesterday afternoon from the Free street
Church. The church was well filed. and
many Of the soldiers who went out in the LIST
Regiment with Capt Fessenden were present
Rev. DIR. Bosworth conducted the exercises.
He opened with an invocation, and then fol-
lowed chant by the choir. DIR. b. then made
some feeling and impressive remarks appropri-
ate to the mournfnl occasion, and at the same
time urged the young men present to enlist in
