q. s. District Court.
WARE J. PRESIDING.

THuRsDAY.-Nine libels aud informations
of goods illegally imported-and seized by the
Collectors of Portland, Eastport and Machias
were defaulted, no persons appearing to
claim said goods. sesss .sai.
The docket was called and Eve suits were
defauIted, in cases where parties were sued
for the penalties for smuggling goods.
The Grand Jury came in and reported an
indictment against Charles Conlon of Angus
ia, for carrying away desertsrs. Conlon is
under bonds for his appearance at Court. The
Grand Jury was then discharged.
Mrs. Jane c. Burbank was tried on an in
dictnent charging her with harboring and
conceaing George M. Clark, deserter from
the U. s. land service. The evidence was
clear that she had harbored and concealed
Clark, but it was alleged by her counsel that
there was no proof that Clark was deserter.
That the simple fact of his not being in the
barracks at Augusta for ono day or one week
did not constitute him deserter according to
that statute. %
The case was conducted by Mr.. Talbot, q
S. District Attorney, for Government; and fol
the defendant by Mr.P Putnam, who had beensas'
signed by the Court, Judge Ware gave the
case to the jury last evening, and they will re-
turn their verdict this morning.

Intaresting to Tobacco-chewers.

Adulteration is the order of the day. Ten
dollar brandy is made from four-and-sixpenny
whiskey. Old Port comes of elderberries,
logwood and r. G.. whiskey. 1t is not diff
cult to adulterate liquids, but with solids the
thing Is not quite SO convenient, yet high pri-
ces, IKE necessity, stimulate invention.
a writer In the Rochester linton tells now
the thing Is done with the fine cut tobacco
which Is 80 popular with chewers. 1t is made
up of 90 per cent. peat to 30 per cent tobac-
co, thus: Embryo peat is composed Of fine,
halrlike hbres, that, when dried, has the color
andlook of tobacco. One hundred pounds Of
this, saturated with solution Of strong to-
bacco, is mixed with one hundred pounds Of
good tobacco, which, together, make two hum
dred pounds Of very nice article.

The Concert.

New City Hall last evening presented 8
brilliant spectacle. The concert for the bene
fit of Maine Camp Hospital Association drew
very large and respectable audience. Those
who got it up are entitled to much credit; for
they not only did agood work of benevolence,
but also furnished an excellent musical ban
quet to all who attended. When all who TOOK
part in the concert did SO well, 1t would seem
inyidious to make any comparisons, Dut we
feel quite sure the gentlemen will not be dis
posed to censure us, or be at all envious If we
speak Of the two ladies whose sweet and mel
low voices added SO much to the concert.
Misses Bates and Usher performed their
roles in excellent taste. We confess we were
not prepared to hear such fine execution, and
such well cultivated vocal powers. In the
Cavatina from Meyerbeer, and the serenade
from Gourod, two composers who have ac-
quired worldwide reputation for musical
genius o. a high order, Miss Bates exhibited
more power and sweetness of voice, bet
ter taste, and higher cultivation than we
expected. We have never heard her before,
and we congratulate her on her successful
debut in the concert room. ~
"Thou Everywhere" was rendered by Miss
Usher in style that showed clearly that she
had caught the inspiration OF the author, and
her voice was just suited to such melody
1t is prominently sympathetic soft, flexible
and full of that kind Of music which never iails
to find responsive chord in every heart
The Duet sung by these ladies was very fine,
and their voices harmonized sweetly. It was
Just such music as awakens the best emotions
of the human heart, and prepares for deeds Of
charity. We hope these young ladies will
continue to cultivate this "divine art,p both
for their own sakes, and for the pleasure of
the public. In the common parlance Of the
day, the concert was a''success," and the Hos
pital Association must have received a very
generous contribution.

GARRISON. ESQ, ON "The Guilt, the Punish
ment, and the Redemption OF the Republic"
as has already been announced by the commit.
tee. ssA4-sAA 4fAA&A
This character of the lecture, which is es-
pecially adapted to the times, would of itself.
in the hands OF an ordinary speaker, be likely
toattract no little attention as matter of
mere curiosity; but as treated by gentle
man thoroughly and constantly identified with
the cause of human rights for more than a
third OF century, and whose keen percep-
ton, logical force, and clear utterance, though
ne may lack some of the graces of oratory,
are now generally acknowledged, the public
may expect to be at once edited and instruct
ed. 4
( Object to the manner, the matter, the poll
cy of Mr.. Garrison in the past as you will, it
is with him as it is with the Chief Magistrate
Of the nation, that nobody questions his hon.
esty; and when the mists, il not the dense
fogs of prejudice which have at times becloud-
ed his horizon, shall have passed away, and
the clear blue of heaven shall appear, 1t will
be every where conceded that not less Is due
to Mr.. Garrison for pre-eminent ability and
political forecast, than for unsullied purity OF
character. asss
Among the attractions of the evening will
be the presence of Mr.. John L. Shaw and his
associates of the Quartette Club. And it is
with great pleasure that we are able to an
nounce that the Club have kindly volunteered
their services during the whole course. Graf
flying as is the fact. it will nowhere cause the
least surprise; for this is exactly what might
have been expected of the Club. They are
not less DESTROYS of aiding the cause of hui
manity, than of affording exquisite pleasure
to the community; and they may rest assured
that both objects will thus be amply secured
with the lasting gratitude of all.
