Barnum's Eating Honas.

1t will be noticed by referring to our adver-
Using column that Capt. Isaac Barnum, who
for seven years conducted the Eating House
in the Grand Trunk Depot, and made the es-
tablishment what it should be--a credit not
only to himself and the managers Of the road,
but also to the city-has, at the request of the
managers, again assumed the management of
that Spacious Dining Hall, which has been
thoroughly repaired, irescoed and painted, and
is now in first rate condition.
In this establishment his brother, Mr.. A. p.
Barnum and wife viii assist, and no pains will
be spared to make it equal, if not superior. to
any other place of the kind in the country.
In assuming the above, the indefatgable
Captain does not give up his gorgeous rooms
on Temple street. which have not their equal
in New England. We have heard strangers
say after paftaking Of dinner at these rooms,
that they had been in the best saloons in Phil
adelphia, New York and Boston, and they
would not compare with this of Portland eth
er in neatness and beauty of arrangement or
in excellence in cooking The truth is, Bar
AiNaA no9 NSta"iA9IS0 q rPutdttUH lOI Himself,
of which any one might well be proud. In
this establishment lie has secured the services
OF Mr.. Libby, formerly of Rockland, whose
manner Of doing business cannot offend even
the most iastidious. The walters at both Of
these rooms are polite and attentive, and Gus
toners are sure Of being treated with civility
We wish the Captain much prosperity In his
undertakings. He is one of our go ahead
men and win always be found at the top of the
ladder.
Parties in want Of dinners, suppers or COLA
lions will find Barnum on hand to get them up
in the best style and at short notice.

ing Sherman.
New YORK, Dec. 8.
Georgia papers of the 18th and Richmond
Of the 10Th are received. By these papers
which appear panic stricken, Sherman's
movements must be very erratic. His army
at times is omnipresent, then it is nowhere
1t is here, there and everywhere, and then it
is not known where it is. a6b
Richmond papers of Tuesday say the rebels
still occupy Macon, and on Saturday last
Sherman had not approached Augusta. The
reported repulse of Fitzpatrick at Oconee Riv-
err on the 2lst Is reiterrted for the fifteenth
time.
The Augusta Chronicle says that on the
same day the Yankees left the line Of the
Georgia Railroad, going southwark, which
means that Socum's column was moving to
form junction with Howard.
Sherman's movements having cut Governor
Brown off from all Intercourse with the east
ern part of the State, the Lieut.. Gov. Wright,

ouraAer.-Ahout six o'clock last evening
as Mr.. A. P. Barnum and Mr.. Lord, the clerk
of the Grand Trunk Eating House were COM
ing up India street, they met a gang of rouehs
attempting to induce drunken soldier to en-
ter rum shop, probably for the purpose of
robbing him. Mr.. B. spoke TO them, and told
them they had better let the man 90 along
Upon this the scoundrels turned and knocked
down both MIR. Barnum and Mr.. Lord. The
latter jumped up and ran for club, when
Capt.. Knight came out of his ship and knocked
over one of the scamps. Lord having return:
ed with stout club, piled it with such vigor
that the scamps fed as fast as their legs would
carry them. Mr.. Barnum was severely in
jured over both eyes.

SACRED CoNcERT.-An excellent selection
of sacred music will be performed tomorrow
evening at new City Hall by Campbell and
Castles company. The prayer from "Moses
in Egypt" selections from "Stabat Mater aid
other oratorios will be given. The pieces Sc
lected are of high order Of music, and no
doubt this company will execute them in fine
style. We think Sabbath evening may be well
spent in listening to such music. The hall, no
doubt, will be well filed on the occasion. 1t
is not often that our citizens have the oppor-
tunity of hearing such gems from oratorios
executed by such artists.
