REAR ADMIRAL FARRAGUT.-This distin-
guished Naval hero received our citizens YES
terday forenoon, from $50 till IL o'clock, at
the Aldernen's Room. He is a man of sixty
five years, looking much younger than he re-
ally Is, OF medium stature, intelligent coumte-
nance, bronzed by the elements, and as mod
est and unassuming as he is brave and patri-
otto m tffyl
BY his side, on his left, stood Commodore
Bailey, Commander of the Navy Yard at Kit
terry, and Commodore Rodgers, of the Dicta-
tor,-two stalwart noble looking specimens of
American manhood, and gallant sons of the
Navy
We judge that all three are men of few
words, though free, graceful and pleasant in
the reception room. A large number of our
people, ladies, gentlemen and children, called
upon the Admiral, all of whom grasped him
warmly by che hand, and for all of whom he
had smile and pleasant word We Judge
that he has particular affection for little
girls, for few of these passed him without
kiss as well as grasp of the hand
Mayor Mcclellan, Gen. ShepIey, and Mr. Bal
ley, President of the Com. Council, were pres
ent to introduce the citizens, and to make the
gallant strangers feel that they were not left
alone awkwardly to resist the pressure of the
crowd. 1t was pleasant hour long to be re
membered
Admiral Farragut left about II o'clock al
noon, in the Agamenticus for Portsmouth.

EXCURSION TO WINTHRoP.-The excursion

under the auspices of Portland Division, No.
95, Sons Of Temperance, was largely attended
Fourteen cars, filled with about 500 passen-
gers, started from this city at O'Clock, and
arrived opposite the Grove about halfpast ten,
where the larger number debarzed, and made
their way to the Grove, and amused them
selves in dancing, swinging fishing, &c. About
$50 of them went up to the island and partook
Of a chowder got up in Harry's best style.
About 200 of the excusionists kept ON to
Winthrop Village, and took possession of the
hotel Mr.. Stanton, the landlord, did not ex-
pect such rush to his house, supposing that
about all would stop at the Grove. But he
did his best to supply their wants, setting three
tables, and furnishing good meals.
AT 10 O'Clock the party started homeward,
arriving here at o'clock. s.ise
10 Mr.. Il. N. Phillips, of Auburn, who act
ed as conductor of the train, much credit is
due for his efforts to make the passengers as
comfortable as possible. asd ~
SURGICAL OPERATIoN.--Yes Yesterday morn
ing DR.. Fitch of this city, assisted by his son,
extracted an Enfield Rifle bullet from the inte-
rior of a soldiers thigh 1t was found curious
ly and closely curled upon segment of the
bone. The operation gave no pain, as the pa
tent was under the influence of ether. Ii the
operation proves as successful as it now prom
ises to be, it will give the gallant fellow glo-
rious exemption from the pain, fever and
lameness with which he has suffered for three
long months. The soldiers name is T. G.
Dunscomb, and the wound was received in
April, before Petersburg.

~ A Paris correspondent writes that
ifizzles, short curls and rats are likely to
reign pre-eminent, but the fiat of the Empress
aoollshes waterfalls. Naughty scandal say
because she is getting little-a yerv little-
bald, and to conceal it rushes to the extremity
OF having the back hair to do duty by being
brought up and oyer to the front
