Journal of the Portland Society of Natural
H;storv--Vol. l, No, l,

The contents of this volume, just issued
from the press of Stephen Berry, are Notes on
the Land and Fresh-Water Mollusca of Maine,
by Mr.. Edward S. Morse, now resident at
Gorham. Mr.. Morse is one of the few men In
this State who have patiently and enthusiast
tically studied these interesting groups of
shells, and his "Notes'' are especially valua,
bic for certain discoveries now for the first
time announced by him. Every one of our
Maine hill-sides, forests and brooks conceals
innumerable and beautiful forms of Moluscan
life, and as catalogue of what may be found,
with numerous illustrations of its secret
structure, this report is excellent There is
no more charming recreation than merely to
collect and classify these abundant gems of
nature, trodden under foot and despised by
the ignorant or careless crowd
The Typography and illustrations of this
book are superb. We venture the assertion
that it surpasses any Natural History journal
now published in the country. 1t is under
stood, although the name of the Portland So
ciety stands on its title page, that the work
has been carried through the press by the gen.
erous advances of few friends of that insti-
tuition. II subscribers can be obtained in
sufficient numbers to reimburse these gentle
men, there is hope that other volumes may in
due time be added. The Portland Society has
claims on our support, and as the work will
be for sale at the principal bookstores of the
city, it is desired that the good people of
Portland will give this undertaking their cor
dial support.

IMPORTANT LAWSUIT SETTLED. - The
sewing machine suit in the United States
Court, between Shaw IL Clark, of Biddelord,
on one side, and Wheeler d Wilson, Grover
& Baker, Singer & Co., and Howe on the OF
her, has, the Journal says. been fully and fin
ally settled. In many respects this case is one
Of the most important ever before the courts
in this country. The suit was brought by the
large companies, who combined 10 prevent
the defendants from making and selling sew
ing machines, which they alleged inffinged
their patents. The best patent lawyers to be
obtained were employed by both parties, in
Guiding Judge Curtis, Gordon & Sherman, of
Boston, and Clifford, of New York, for the
plalntliis; and Hon. Thomas ii. Dodge, of
washington, Washburn of Maine, for the de-
PENDANTS.
After several years Of tenacious and expen-
siye lighting. the compliments succeeded in
establishing their patent, and got out an iniuuc-
ton; but Shaw & Clark in the meantime had
obtained an interest in an older patent than
theirs, and got the Government to extend il
for seven years, with claims covering not only
the machines made by the complainants, but
all the sewing machines of any kind now
made in the country. This. of course, placed
the boot on the other leg" at once; the re-
suit being that the whole matter has now been
settled by Shaw & Clark receiving an interest
valued at one million five hundred thousand
dollars, in the whole sewing machine bust
ness.
The old patent spoken of is now considered
the most valuable of any in existence except
ting the rubber pateut, as it will control the
whole sewing machine interest Of the country
This is about the first instance which we are
aware OF where both parties TO law suit
came out ahead, and shows that strategy is
not entirely confined to war.
