BAD NEIGHBoRs.-In little village in
Connecticut, several years ago, there lived one
David Barnes, person of excitable temper
and violent passions, especially as was often
the case, when under the influence of strong
drink. Not far from him resided old Squire
Nelson, famous in all the region round about
Cor his ready wit, with which few we're able to
cope successfully.
The Squire had, at the time of which write,
pig of remarkable promise, which one day
effected stolen exit from its domieile, and
wandered about seekingwhat it might deyour,
till finally it happened into Barnes garden,
where, following the impulses of its nature, it
las Barnes himself graphically expressed it J
rooted around like one possessed"
The animal was at length espied by Barnes,
who, it being the hour when his bitters most
were felt--issued forth with murderous intent
and a stick, and so gave vent to his emotions,
that the poor beast withdrew" rs speedily as
possible, and reached home more dead than
alive.
When recovered from the effects of his po-
tons, Barnes regretted his hastiness, and re-
solved to visit the Squire, explain, and make
il all right If possible. OF he started. and
found the Squire ut home. He hardly knew
how to open the subject, so he began with,
"Wal, Squire, I'm a-thinkin' o leayn' these
parts"
Squire on don't say so? I'm sorry for
that
Barnes, with great surprise-"Be ye? An
why, may ask?'
Squire -"Wal, I'll tell you. Years ago,
there come Mr.. Robinson TO live where you
do, and he was mean sort of man, and it was
hard gettin' along with him. And after him
come Tom Mullen, and he was dreadful mean
man-worse, If anything than the other. And
after he left there come Bill Mosher, who was
really tedious; and then, worse than all the
others together-old Ned Bolese. You see,
they kept CROWN worse. And, finally, yo,t
come; and I'm afraid that if You go, the devil
himself will be next"
Barnes left.

Battle Song.

The effect of stirring song OF tune is often
electrical. The western armies have one OF
this character called ''The Battle Cry of Free
DOM" which is described in one of our ex-
changes as Of most potent effect:
in Grants army it only needs to be started
10 be caught up from camp TO camp, till it
spreads for miles over the whole army. BY
order of a general commanding one division Of
the Army Of the Cumberland, the Colonel Of
each regiment is directed to start the battle
Cry whenever the army goes into action, and
the effect of thousands OF voices united upon
the chorus:
:. Tho Union forever, hurrah. boys, hurrahl
Down with the traitor. up with the star,
While We rally round the nag. boys, rally once
shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom
Is described as awakening a frenzied enthusi-
asm perfectly indescribable.
II Is evident from its effect that this is one
Of the few songs not written ito order" but
written because the author could not help ii.
The great number OF thrilling circumstances
under which this song has been sung in the
army, adds to its popularity. When Gen.
Blair's Brigade, that led the assault upon
Vicksburg last fall, after being hurled again
and again upon the enemys Notifications only
TO see each time CHASTITY proportion Of their
NUMBERS 60 down In uedllls were NJ Eist or

their battalions, and came ont of the smoke of
that terrible carnage singing:
yes, wen rally round the flag, boys, rally once
again,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom
We are not surprised that the remembrance
Of that scene drew tears from the officer who
described it to us. And when, after months
OF hardship, assault and battle, these same
troops ran up the Stars and Stripes over this
same rebel stronghold, Gen. Mcpherson and
staff, on the cupola OF the Courthouse, fitting

with what will it was sung by Grants en-

In starting the PORTLAND DAILY PREss the
Proprietors were influenced by what they be-
leved to be demand Of the loyal public senti-
ment OF the State, and the generous reception
which 1t has met with, and the unexpected meas
ure of success which has uniformly attended Il
thus far, afford the most satisfactory evidence to
the lroprietors that they did not misconstrue the
public demand. The Press has been in existence
but one year and half, and though il was com
menced with no previous canvassing, and with
the held, to superficial observer, fully occupied
by papers having old associations and honor

Though the Pass has had a success far ar
ceedlng the most sanguine expectations of its
projectors, and though comparatively few sub
scribers have been heard to complain of its ae-
knowledged DEFICIENCIES. and few demands for its
Improvement have come to the notice of its pro-
prietors, and though It may have been all they
could afford to make it at the past and existing
exorbitant prices of printing materials and stock
and with its present patronage, yet the proprie-

leading Journal in the commercial and financial
center OF the State should be; and that the en-
