ITEMs.--During the thunderstorm
on Wednesday afternoon, and before
rain commenced falling, the lightning
struck locust tree at the Poor House.
Mr.. Joseph Brewer, steward, was Just
returning from the fields with two
shovels on his shoulders, and was not
more than thirty or forty feet from the
tree at the time He was considerably
shocked, and certainly had a narrow
escape. Singular to relate, a pauper
woman, holding child by the hand,
and three times as far from the tree
as Mr.. B., was stunned and knocked
down.-The ficodgate at Mann's not
having been opened one night last
week when the hands ceased work,
the basin was filled to overfowing and
some injury sustained by washing the
bank. 1t is however all right again.
The canal was considerably dam
aged by the late food, causing sus-
pension of navigation, but through the
energy of the Supervisor, W. 7. Burns,
we are pleased to say the water was
in again at the end of last week, which
was much sooner than many had ex-
pected. The late rains have had
a most invigorating effect on grass,
grain, and vegetation generally. Ma
ture is now truly beautiful, and callous
indeed must be the heart of him whose
eye does not look with pleasure upon
its varied scenes of hill and dale, of
mountain and valley, covered with
luxurious green and interspersed with
beautiful flowers. To stand upon one
OF our ridges and gaze upon the grand
panorama before us, how small and in
significant do the perishable works of
man appear compared with those of
the great Creator.-AmOng our cash
receipts for subscription on Saturday
were four dollars in specie, one s23
gold piece and S150 in silver
LECTURE.-The Lecture on Monday
evening in the NJ E. church, by Anto-
Mo Arrighi, an Italian exile, who was
wounded at the siege of Rome, being
drummer boy in the army of Carl
baldi, was largely attended. This
young man had been trained up in the
Catholic faith, but after coming to
America was converted, and the word
reaching his parents they disowned
him. In the sadness of his heart he
composed pathetic ballad, inscribed
to his mother, under the title "The
Disowned," which in connection with
Italy's national song of freedom he
sung in beautiful style. The lecture
was several times interrupted by the

stranded on the shores of Long Island Sound
the shattered remnants Of a once noble steam

its machinery broken and useless. Half black

just so stands the democratic party. The
same sound still Gala to Us. but it is the toll
above tue wreck. The grand name still waves
upon the campaign banners, waylaying us for
our sufierages; but the vessel We trusted to
carry US safely through every sea, once so
powerful and popular, now drifts before the
storm, shrunken, helpless and snarling mi

that every northern blast whirls down upon
us a republican msioritys Why is it that the
West, to which we are told tn look for clear
skies and fair weather, the West is black with
the popular refusal to restore this se-ealled
democracy? Alas uninterrupted prosperi-

We call attention to the programme of the
committee, proposed to be carried out on
Monday, in Lonor of the great and glorious
victory of Tuesday last; a victory the good
results of which no man can fully appreciate,
as no one can have an adequate appreciation
of the dangers against which that victory Sc
cured us. s
Let the people rejoice. Let gratitude be
poured forth. Let prayer and praise, thanks
giving and joy combine to give expression to
a loyal peoples emotions. Let the cannon
roar, the bells ring, and the mantle of night
be dissipated by a general illumination. And
let every flag be flung to the breeze, so that
our city may present gala appearance be-

The PORTLAND DRAMATIC CLUB drew
very full and brilliant audience last evening,
and Bulwer's popular play, the Lady of Lyons,
was put upon the boards in good style. Our
amateur performers made themselves up In an
appropriate and attractive manner, and acted
their several parts very appeptably. In this
drama there is some very fine reading that re-
quires not only a good utterance, but also
true conception of the sentiments the learned
author puts into the mouths of the players
to appreciate the work they had undertaken,
and entered upon its execution with q deter
mination to do it as the play wright intended it
should be done. And they succeeded remark
ably well. Let old playgoers withhold their
criticisms, if they have any, and "try it on"
and see if they could perform the roles any
better or with more skin, taste AND ability
than this club did, ere they attempt to show
their wit or wisdom. We are not disposed TO
criticise this performance, even had we dis
covered anything subject to such an ordeal,
and for the very good reason that the players
did better than we had reason to expect when
all the circumstances are taken into consider
alton. We,venture to say the audience were
highly gratiHed, and thank the players for az
fording them so much amusement. The mu-
sic furnished for the occasion was excellept,
and the whole affair went off very we'll. We
trust we shall hear from them again.

Independent Course Of Lectures
STATE OF THE oouHTRY.
ON THE

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
The course of lectures delivered last winter in
the City Hall on the affairs of the Nation, by
distinguished gentlemen from different sections
OF the Union, having been SO universally appre-
clated and sustained by the people; and in accor-
dance with the request of large number of our
citizens, and also in view of the continued dis
turbances with which the country is afflicted, it
is deemed advisable and useful to institute
another series of like character for the coming
winter. sh e
1t is believed that BY this method of obtaining
the carefully considered and best thoughts of
able minds from different sections Of the Repub-
ic, not only viii the patriotic life Of the people
be quickened. instructed and strengthened, but
that something may thereby be done to comfort
and mitigate the suferings of the sick and
wounded soldiers of Maine, who have perilled
their lives that the life of the nation might be
preserved.
Theproceeds of the course will be devoted to
thebeneft of the g Portland Soldiers Home.''
The management of the course will be under
the auspices of the following named citizens.
