MANIFEsTATIoNs.-P Won Week,
at the Freeman House last evening, gave a
private exhibition to some twenty gentlemen,
in which he exhibited various "manifesta-
tions" such as have been produced by the
Davenport Boys and others. He was decided
ly successful in every thing he attempted, and
though all were satisfied that he was the
showing agent" in the matter, yet no one
could tell how the tricks were performed
The playing upon instruments while his hands
and feet were tied, passing the instruments
round the room, hitting this man on the head
and that one on the shoulder were capitally
done, and perhaps if there had been light ia
the room we should have discovered how
He tried the trick of the Allen boy, playing
upon and raising the instrument, with the Same
success7-with light in the room-Fredericz
Douglass occupying the chair, while both
hands of the Professor were upon his, Mr..
Douglass arm.
The Professor has been engaged for some
time in Barnum's Museum, New York, where
he has exhibited these operations and lectured
with the greatest success. He proposes to
give some lectures and exhibit the manifesto
lions in this city, the time and place of which
due notice will be given.
We noticed among those present last even
ing DR.. Randall, who has charge of the Allen
boy. oi

THE MASON q HAAfLIE CABINET ORGAN.
With your eyes shut, you cannot distinguish
its sound from that Of the pipe organ itself;
and the advantages that commend il are: its
prices; for it can be had for one, two. three.
or four hundred dollars, according to the size
you wish; it takes up very little room, and
may stand in any part of the church; it is not
affected by heat or cold, or any change of tenn
perature It remains for long period in good
tune and, lastly, it can be sent by express, or
otherwise, any distance with safety. 1t is adj
mirably adapted to the performances of sacred
music, psalm tunes, anthems, chants. &C., and
any one, who can play on the piano. can easily
master the Cabinet Organ. 1t is grand ac-
compartment when the congregation sing,
and Is just the instrument that OUGHT TO be
used in all churches where the people ali wish
to have the privilege of bearing part in the
parise.-[New York Observer.

The factof having good market in Maine is
in rapid progress of development to our trad
ers and business men since the Portland Pack
ct has commenced running. BY means OF
even this sail packet the opportunity Of
communication and transportation is so direct
with Portland, that the difference of buying
goods TO trade upon is nearly ten days in faS-
or OF Portland as between Portland and Dos
ton. Ordinarily round trip can be MADE 70
Portland ten days quicker than to Boston.
To dealers in groceries and fruits this is
ofthe greatest Importance.
Flour, sugar, molasses, pork, beef, butter
can be bought as cheap, and some declare at
lower prices than at Boston. The Dry Goods
jobbing houses at Portland keep well stocked
On the whole the prospect is encouraging.
Thus far the Packet has plenty of business. .

The full length figures of Tell and his confed-

labors for his country's independence. 81 We

The Escape of Dick Turner from Libby
Prison. u

-
The Richmond correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press says:
at is not without considerable regret that
announce the escape OF the notorious Dick
Turner from Libby Prison, on night before
last, by breaking or removing one OF the iron
bars which separated him from the street.
This man was one of the understrappers or
keepers of Libby in rebel times, and exceled
all the barbarans in infiicting the most brutal
and murderous treatment upon the Union
prisoners. 1t is hardly possible for an indi-
vidual to achieve as much infamy in single
position as has fallen to the share of Turner.
His place of confinement was nnder ground
his food bread and water, and a sentry was
posted before. his door to prevent such mis-
fortune as has taken place. As no guard was
in front Of the building on the pavement, it is
possible that some assistance was furnished by
sympaihizing friends from the outside, who
afforded him food and shelter. The Libby
has recently been used as camp Of distribu-
ton, and with the excepucnset Turner, Judge
Ould and Captain Hatch, the rebel Commits
sloners Of Exchange, no other persons are
confined there" fs~s.. -sssil al vi
