Vegetables for the Army.

We have received letter from the I'd Maine
Cavalry, dated at Barrancas, Florida, urging
upon the farmers and other good citizens Of
this State to forward Immediately supply Of
potatoes, onions and all kinds of fresh vege-
tables for the use of the soldiers, among whom
the scurVy has set in, consequent upon the
want Of antiscorbutlcs and eating salt rations
with little or no fresh food and no vegetables.
We hope the appeal made by Chaplain Mason,
who has been deputed to come North, viii be
responded to forth with, and in the most liberal
manner. Send barrel to your son or friend,
or to any soldier from your town, or to the
company or regiment; it win go safely, and
be received with much gratitude.
NOTICE TO THE FRIENDS OF THE I'd MAINE
CAVALRY.
Vegetables, and all articles for the I'd Maine
Cavalry, should be we'll packed in strong boxes

A Nice American Backing.

Few persons who have used ebay & Mar
tin" for any length of time, viii consent to the
trouble of using the common box blackiug.
But then "Day & Martin" is an imported ar
ticle, and the cost has become enormous. An
ingenious Yankee named Jacques has got Up
backing which he styles the "Raoen Wing"
put up in the same general style of Day & Mar.
tin, is applied in the same manner, and it is ev-
identity very much like it, but being domes-
tic article its cost is only, about the same as
that of the imported article in former times.
We had seen it advertised and its virtues
"cracked up" A few months since while in a
shop 10 the city, we saw bottle OF it, and in
quired of the owner what he knew of its quail
tiles. he could give no information. Whether
1t would make good polish, or whether it
was easy Of application, or whether it would
inJure the leather, he knew nothing. He had
never tried it; be could not recommend it,
We purchased bottle, enough to last
year and we have used it ever since, and we
now say deliberately, without fee, reward or
expectation, that it is by far the best blacking
for boots zoe haze euer seen. 1t has more body
than most articles of the kind: an application
seems to last logger and look better than any
other within our knowledge, and what is more,
1t nH not tajure the leather. 81 .s
We have never seen any backing under the
constant use Of which, and without oiling, the
leather SO well retains its softness and pliabil-
ity. Another thing; it will not crock or soil
even cambria handkerchief after application
to the leather. ~ g7iabca SO 81 sIafs
Believing we should do our friends sub
stantial favor by bearing this testimony, we
have written the above, and we advise them
to make trial of it if they can find it in the
city. With "Vernatella' on the bottom Of
their boots and the "Raven Wing" on the top,
their soEes will be saved while their UNDER
standings will be properly polished. We
would inform them where to find this new
and ,corthy candidate for popular favor did
weknow who keeps it; II we should receive a
few large sample bottles we shall tell where
they come from.

REV. DR. CHIcKERING, who has recently
entered upon the active duties Of Secretary of
the Suffolk Temperance Union, preached a
discourse upon Temperance at High Street
Church last Sabbath forenoon, and gave no.
tice that he would further enlarge upon the
subject in the evening. The discourse was
plain, practical and thorough. He gave brief
history Of the reform commencing with the
moderate drinking pledge-advancing to en-
tire abstinence, the bringing up Of a temperate
generation, while God would take care Of the
drunkards-the Washingtonian movement
and the Law. Showing that while men had
little light, they walked timidly, but as the
light increased honest men left the business Of
selling, and now there were virtually none
LEFT in the traffic las beverage) upon whom
moral appliances had the least effect.
In the evening the Vestry was well filed
with an interested and earnest company. Az
ter spirited remarks by himself and others, the
doctor commenced the peculiar work of bis

lating thepledge, and the people, as an earnest

by desire to have the good cause 60 on here

hope will spread and grow in our midst. ss

subsequent arrest of the Wentworths on sus-

the excitement has all died out and no one

We are informed that recently woman
died In Manchester, and upon her death bed
revealed all the circumstances of the murder,
duplicating man in the transaction, who
formerly resided in that place but who had
removed to the town of Milan. An officer was
dispatched to Milan, and, after remaining there
some ten or twelve days, succeeded in arrest

tiers as to dates they hope to add to the above
list, Schuyler Colfax, Salmon P. Chase and S.
Cox of Ohio. In the course of next week
they expect to be ready to announce to the

of those already engaged combine force of

In A DILEMMA.-Judge Rice, the worthy
President Of the Portland & Kennebec Rail-
road, as the story is told, a few days since
went into the office at the depot here, and
closed the door. In few minutes the bell
rung for the train to start, and, as he was GO
ing to Augusta in that train, he attempted to
open the door. But 10! 1t was fastened with
spring bolt AS he could not open the door,
and as the train was on the point of leaving,
he tried the window. A policeman standing
near, seeing a pair of legs emerging from the
window, supposed that burglar had been
operating, and stood ready to ponnce upon
him, but he soon found his mistake when the
whole length of the neither limbs had been dis
played. The Judge, however, was too late
for the train, 3yan

THE CoNcERr.-We cordially thank MIR.
Charles M. Wilbur, the agent, for getting up
such q musical banquet for our citizens. His
management of the affair was admirable, and
everything was like clock work. The audi
ence was brilliant one, and from the signs
manifested, it was highly satisfied one. The
selection of the music and the assignments of
the roles were all that could be desired even
by the most fastidious or critical. Where all
performed their respective parts so well. it
would seem almost invidious to select any one
for any special merit of praise. But we can
not forbear to express our admiration of Karl
Formes and M. Theodore Habelmann. In
these artists we have the basso and tenore in
perfection, that is, speaking after the manner
Of men. We suppose there may be in Heaven
better music, but there is hardly any better
on this mundane. y q ttDh 81 v q Fva
The Mendelssohn Quintette Club know very
well that music is an exact science, and their
performance is in exact accordance with that
knowledge. Their music is very fine and quite
above criticism. The last piece, the prayer
iAom NAOeOo h 4s&yPt3 Woo tA1O sSA-1 " sA~oS'S
ming. The vocal and instrumental parts har-
monized to charm. We know of no better
musical composition than this prayer, and 10
SIM must have been inspired when ne wrote,
and 1t is said 1t was written sometime after the
Oratorio was composed. Arbuckle,s solo on
the cornet was clear up to the mark, so was
the flute and violin solos. These artists are
masters of their favorite instruments. Ryan's
solo on the saxophone was capital and pleased
the audience much. But we have not space
to go into details. On the whole, the concert
passed off well. And we trust these musicians
were SO well patronized that they win visit us
again. Before we close we will say a word
about Mr.. Dow, the pianist. he is certainly
very clever player, and his touches are crisp,
clear and distinct, and we think he showed
good judgment, as well as good taste, in Sc
lecting tune SO familiar to all. The rapid
running over the keys of this mechanical in
strument for the purpose of exhibiting good
execution without good theme or melody
seldom pleases an audience, and Mr.. Dow
avoided that mistake and satisfied his auditors.
The example was a good one, and we hope
other pianists will follow it when they play in
public, .ET - pa
