a larger one. The girl renamed IN Soltary seven
days, and the Inspectors found her there, the
scars of the ogging still plainly visible, at the
end of that time-and released her. 1t is doubt
full if this Haynauism would ever have come to
light had not the Boston Daily Herald got hold
of the report and published an abstract with lite
raj extracts of the most important portions. The
article was copied and Indignantly commented
on all over the country, from the Border States
into Canada. Then followed publication OF the
July report, which then first fully saw the light,
and on Saturday the last report was published III

full and searching without any whitewash, Will
be unavoidable.
Recruiting progresses but slowly. l doubt II
any New England States, except perhaps New
Hampshire, will be able to avoid draft The
quota of Boston is 3, $50, and up to this she has
only, by the most laborious efforts, succeeded in
obtaining 43S Of them. Charlestown has got hess
than third of her quota, but is gaining fast OF
late. Some of the country towns are recruiting
from the freedmen within our army lines Ihe
CITY of Bangor in Maine, has completed Its quota
of 800, and some of the large towns have got ali
they need At Concord, N. H., about 40 recruits

The Fair in Music Hall, for the benefit of the
New England Sanitary Commission was most
successful thing. About s15O0O0 was raised !;
the arstocfScy Of the city were at the head OF II,
and to their credit be It said, their efforts were no
half-hapded ones ;.tley made valuable contrlbu-
tions-purchasedz articles at eXorbitant prices,
and went in deepfn rafles and other games OF
chance where s"t the bank" had an immense per-
centage Contributions also came in largely, and
visitors numerously from all New England. New
Hampshire ranking next to Massachusetts. Many
a young man was made involuntarliy generous

7 do not consider the above sporting item or
that the Heenan and King fight is appropriate in
connexion but that is the topic which comes TO
mind next and it is lively one here just now.
You have heard, all Of you, how Heenan was lald
low in % rounds, though he went into the fight z
to strong, and even rallied to 20 to Z. There
was good deal of betting in all our large cities,
and regret to say that even staid, sober citizens
were foolish enough to bet on a contest in the L.
r. But the Heenanites got taken in and there is
weeping and wailing and gnashing ofteeth IN their
land Tom Grew, who keeps in Portland street
resort frequented by Englishmen, laid some
SO. 900 on King in odds averaging the rate of
to g and wins thereby about $50, 900, the result
making difference to him of $3O, 00O Mr.. Dan.
Robbins, late proprietor of the Franklin Irottlng
Park, lost several thousand dollars on Heenan'
Billy Morris, of the minstrels who returned from
England just before the fight, and was sure Hee-
nan was the best man in the world, is reputed to
have lost some 5000. Johnny Pell, his partner,
and Eph Horn of the same establishment, are
also reported to have lost heavily and there IS 20
end of victims So much for those who bet on
prize fights.
The weather is finer than is usual for the season
In this vicinity we have had one or two small falls
of snow, but they were speedily dlsslpated by
rain or thaws. Now the ground is barely white,
bat the streets and roads have only patches OF ice
and frozen mud as evidences of winter, so there
is no seiehing here or any where on the sea coast
In Northen Rhode Island and Connecticut there
is fair sleighing and excellent in Western Massa,
chusetts, all New Hampshire, all Vermont and
most of Maine.
