I Poppenburg's Band was engaged in

in addition TO those mentioned, there are to he
ten Others built, ten feet by fifteen, to be used

have enlisted, and others propose to, but are
deferred from so doing because the selfish en-
ploycrs cannot spare their hands at this season
of the year, and the men do not feel like fight

the employers have always kept back. Surely,
Fort Warren should be enlarged.
gE-The Advertiser charges a young man
of this cty,-Mr. John F. Rich-wth having
put his name down for the war, and then
backing out, his patriotism having cooled of.
We learn that injustice is thus done our young
feliow-citizen; that he has not backed down
from his purpose to go the war, but is making
commendable efforts to obtain position for
which he is well qualified, SO he may not be
obliged to march at "double-quick," loaded
down with soldiers gear.
CoNCERT BY THE ALLEGHANIANs.-This
talented troupe, whose reputation had preced-

They appeared both as vocalists and as bell
ringers, and the generous applause accorded
to them showed that Portland audience know
how to appreciate a pleasant evenings diver

upon the novel piano was a pleasing affair."
Another concert will be given this evening,
with an entire change of programme.
