Isaac Vanderslice, substitute broker in
Boston, was brought before the Commissioner
Tuesday, on a charge of assisting deserters

named Flynn, who testified that he was at

became intoxicated and found himself on

enlist in Maine regiment; but that he deter
mined not to as he was then a soldier. with
his furlough in his pocket. Flynn told a
straight story and there was no break in 1t
either on direct or cross examination.
Several witnesses for the defense contradict
ed Flynn's statement, among them Capt.
Claiming of the It'll Maine, who testified that
when Flynn was brought before him to be ex-
amined he told him to "stand up" Flynn i'm
mediately brought himself into the martial
attitude of attention" Capt. C. then told
him that he was soldier. Flynn replied,
"Yes. have been in nine months regi-
ment." Capt. c. said "you never learned that
In nine months regiment" Flynn then ac-
knowledged to Capt Charming that he was
soldier and exhibited his furlough. Both
Flynn and VandersIce were then arrested.
From the statements of Capt. Charming and
the other witnesses for the defense, it did not
appear that the defendant had used any means
to entice Flynn to desert, and he was accord
ingly discharged. George E. B. jackson,

We are glad to learn that Rev. Dr. Car
RUTHERs win deliver sermon in behalf Of
this excellent and useful association neat Sab.
bath ebening in the Second Parish Church.
The reputation of the distinguished and ele-
quent speaker will be sufficient of itself to
draw crowded house. But besides this con-
sideration, the Society has pre-eminent
claim upon the liberal aid of the people. All
the contributions to its funds go directly 10
the relief Of the poor Of Portland. Every
week since the rebellion commenced, the la
dies have assembled together and worked for
the Sanitary Commission. In this way, as
their report recently published in our columns
shows, they made the past year ocer ttcelre
hundred garments. In addition to all this,
they have sent large number of boxes and
barrels containing clothing, medicines and
delicacies, to our sick soldiers in the Military
Hospitals at Annapolis.
Thus, this is working, practical, energetic
Society, worthy of most liberal support. And
we hope, when the collection is taken next
Sabbath evening, the amount may be gen.
erous one, as indeed we doubt not it will be,
especially as we understand that the treasury
is empty.

New ADyERTIsEMENTs.-It is gratifying
to find that the business community are be-
ginning to show proper appreciation of the
columns ofthe Press as medium Of adver-
Using. TIE success of this department Of
the paper has been equalled only by the sue
cess Of the paper itself, as shown by its sub
scription books. While we have been gratified
to greet new advertising patrons. we have
ever believed that it is privilege from which
no business man should part, to select the
papers which he will patronize, and therefore
we have never felt inclined to abuse those who
have quietly turned aside and given us the
"cold shoulder" They are presumed to I'M
derstand their business; we will endeavor to
have proper regard for ours.
