The PEARL STREET UNIvERsALIsT So
CIETY's LEvEE.-This came off last evening
at Lancaster Hall. There was a large gather
ing of men, women and children, who seemed
to be in excellent humor with themselves, and
every body else. They met to give their pas
tor, Rev. Mr.. Atwood, and his wife, welcome
to the Forest City. Hon. George W. Wood
man addressed the assembly, and welcomed
their pastor in eloquent strains. The account
of the progress the Society has made since its
organization was very fattering. Their num-
bers have rapidly increased, and they now have
a very flourishing Sabbath School
The pastor responded in modest, sensible
manner, and spoke with much feeling. We
should think he was ripe scholar and an ex-
cellent speaker. After he had finished his
remarks, Hon. j. FL. Drummond spoke and
welcomed the pastor, who responded in a very
pleasant strain. The pastors wife was also
present, and received hearty welcome from
all present. o-a.3ataE
After these exercises were over, the dancing
commenced, and the younger portion of the
assembly had good time. On the whole, the
affair was got up in good shape, and passed off
very pleasantly, and all seemed to be well
pleased 1.

The government is kept fully advised on the
subject of the cholera abroad, through it's

epidemic is disappearing from Palermo, where
it has been more violent than at any other
place on the Mediterranean. The disease is
evidently now going inland, and spreading
over the Peninsula. 1t has crossed the from

The Introductory lecture of the Indepen-
dent Course will be delivered this evening by
Hon. GEORGE S. boutwell,, member of con-
gress from Massachusetts. This gentleman
has national reputation as leading states
man-one of the rare class of great minds that
direct and mould public opinion, instead of
merely following it. d44th
The lecture this evening upon "Justice in
Government" will, we have no doubt, be e.o-
quent in style, and exhaustive in argument.
1t will be especially valuable as indicating the
views and policy of the more advanced minds
of the country upon the great and vital issues
now before the people.
Every tiuly loyal man and woman in Port
land should be present, and we hope to see
the City Hall crowded.
MIR Boutwell, has been in public life many
years, serving several terms as Governor Of
Massachusetts, is a member of Congress,
and is recognized as the compeer of Sumner,
Andrew, and Wilson of the old Bay State.
Those who have not as yet secured their

COLORADO GOLD MINEs.-Mr. King, a gen
tleman well known in Boston, and whose tes-
timonials are of the most unquestioned char
acter, was in the city yesterday and last even
ing, for the purpose of calling the attention of
some of our capitalists to the gold mines Of
Colorado, He is not Spectator; he IS not
dealer in watered stocks; he is simply labor
ing, like other gentlemen, from the great min
eral regions of the Union, to interest the pub
Lie in that region, SO that it may not, as it has
been heretofore, be neglected by the represen-
tatives of the people in their national legisla-
ton. The only way to do this is to make the
people generally interested in the matter.

HEAVY Robbery OF SILKS, &c.-The
store of G. K. Babb, in Clapps Block, Con
gress Street, was entered Wednesday night,
through the cellar window in the rear, and
then by breaking open the door at the head of
the stairs to which there was only a slight fast
ening. Silk goods and shawls to the value Of
from 1900 to 81 500 were taken and the rob-
bers escaped clear with their booty. Nothing
was known OF the circumstance until the shop
was opened yesterday morning.
Last year the adjoining shop was entered in
pretty much the same manner; and it might
be supposed that more caution would be OBJ
served in regard to the rear of the stores in
that block. 1t is dark place, affording good
chance for burglars to operate without much
fear of detection while engaged in their nefari-
Gus schemes.

In the course of the discussion upon the
subject the affairs of the Portland and Roches-

meet with both the Boston & Maine and East
ern Railroads.

RIGHTS OF RAILRoARD CoNDUCToRs.-It
will be remembered that verdict Of guilty
was rendered against Mr.. Thomas o. Goold,
the veteran conductor on the Grand Trunk
Railway, for assault and battery in ejecting a
passenger from the car, who refused to pay the
rate required from those who do not purchase
tickets before entering the cars. .,es a3s
Exceptions to the ruling Of the presiding
judge were taken and the case was carried up
to the full bench, where it was argued by At
torney General Peters for the State, and p.
Barnes, Esq, for defendant. The Court, in
an opinion drawn up by Judge Kent, sus-
tanned the exceptions and granted new trial.
The opinion of the Court is as follows: a q
ut is reasonable regulation for ra lroad
corporation to fix rates of fare by a tariff post
ed on their stations, and to allow uniform
discount on these rates to those who purchase
their tickets before entering the cars. , -.
A passenger, who has thus neglected to pur-
chase a ticket, has no right to claim the dis
count; and, If he refuses to pay the conduc-
tor the fare established by the tariff, the con-
ductor is justified in compelling him TO leave
the train at regular station"

To the Editor of the Press: f 5t5 /.
Twas much pleased to see the announce
ment in your paper this morning.. that. the
Lecture Committee of the Mercantile Library
Association had engaged the Portland Band
to play each evening before the lecture.
The want of something of this kind has
been sadly felt for the past two or three lecture
seasons, by those who found it necessary to go
early to secure good seats, and, Judging by the
list of very eminent lecturers engaged for the
present course, the number Of such will be
largely increased this winter
was pleased also for another reason. The
Portland Band, under the leadership of CHAN
DLER, has just been recognized, lat consid-
cradle expense to the members, and it needs,
and ought to have, encouragement and assist
ance at home. There is no reason in the
world why Portland should not have as good
band as Boston or New York, or any other
city.
The Lecture Committee deserve the thanks
of all lecture goers, and of all the lovers Of in-
strunental music. They arc disposed to EN-
courage home talent,,let us encourage them.

Bradford's Medicated Tonic!
Ind Life IhaUigOrator,
Is the only reliable and sure cure for
Consumption, Bronchitis, Sore
Throat, Coughs and Colds.

IN the above cases the Medicated Tonic and Lie

siass iuii OF the Medicated Tonic three or four
'i'les uay the patient is much reduced, large
spoonful once in two or three hours
The Lite Inyigorator is a very powerful Tomb. and
should be taken with more care. A balfteo,,o.neu
should be taken three times dav in ,it,,a ,o,or
after eating 1t is purely vegetable and is SIRE tn add
tone and vigor to the whole system One bottle of
tne Lille Invigorator, accompanied according TO d.
rectons, with the Medicated Tonic is warranted To
cure IN most cases. Ii is certain to restore vitality
and vigor to the system which will conquer and
throw en- the disease, restoring the patient to perfect
health and strength. tF
In Offering these medicines to the public am not
speaking too highly of their merits when saw that
there is nothing in the whole catalogue of remedies
for the cure Of Consumption, that viii any where
near approach it in efficacy or real merit.
Having suffered for two years with the terrible dig
ease-Bronchial Cousumpton-in its worst form. and
having exhausted the fullest resources Of the medical
department for that special disease, employing the
bet Doctors in the city, and my case given up by
them being perfectly hopeless then resorted to
the trial Of patent medicines; having tried them
thoroughly and receiving no benefit whatever from
Thorn, became dsheartened and discouraged, antic-
ipating that the fullest expecta ions Of my Doctors
and friends would be realized. t1
Through my whole sickness have studied fully the
working Of this terrible disease through all its vari-
GUS changes, and am prepared to say that no one,
unless having the experience and chance of study
that have had, is as well prepared to manage and
cure the disease Therefore having merited the po-
sition take, through actual experience announce
to the public my competency to warrant cure of Con-
sumption in all its various forms. This terrible dis
ease is considered the greatest scourge to health in
the New England States, because it has not been
treated In proper way. This have learned by sub
hitting to general treatment for the disease and
realizing benefit whatever, but continued to grow
worse, until my case YVES considered hopeless.
therefore, in consideration Of my returning health
and OF the agencies that have been the cause of its
restoration do announce to the public that am pre-
pared to supply medicines to order any part of the
country and also hold mysetn readiness to examine
and treat personally or by letter any case of con-
sumptive tendency, that proves obstinate and unyeld
ing under other modes oftreatment. ...'.i

OUTRAGEOUS AssAULT.-Mr. Joseph Bry-

while going to the grocery store Of Messrs. j.

the corner of India and Fore streets, who fell
upon him, without his speaking or offering
any provocation to them, and knocked him
down, beating him in such manner as to
render him senseless. On the appearance of
some persons the rrffians decamped, and Mr..
B. was taken to his residence Such an assault
in such public place upon an unoffending
man, must have been made for the purpose of
robbery, which was frustrated by the timely
arrival of assistance. ss
Later in the evening one of the scoundrels
was arrested by the police, and locked up. g.
