1NTHLLncrUAL ~ AMUSEMENT.

We learn from correspondent that on Tues
day, the 18th inst, the people Of GRAY were
treated to an entertainment of a remarkable
and recherche character. 1t was a systema-
tized, organized dOy:fght, which drew to-
gether quite representation of the afancv,,
from this city and Lewiston.
The notes of preparation had been sounded
some days in advance, but the people of that
gooly though coppsrhead town were dispos-
ed to regard it as a mere joke, until the day
arrived, and with 1t the dogs and their owners
and friends, the dogs being by far the most
respectable Of the lot It seems the parties
interested were mostly Irish, and Lewiston
dog flesh was pitted against Portland, bets
running as high as $50 on each side. Though
the mana gers went well provided with TASKS
ana POCKET pistols, it was necessaryto 90 tothe
village to liquor up" and to geo that the mo.
chinery for the ring was all in working order.
after which they adjourned to the aMaa1!
OWL short distance from sGrav Corner j
where the stakes were driven, the rino g.,
and the sport commenced. Which doc ~
the day we are not informed, though we ba~1
an impression that Portland proved to he aths
under dog in the fight" An attempt was
male to get up cock-fght-the fowls havins
been proyided-bu. through lack of betting
capital or for other causes, this attempt proved
failure. ~
A correspondent has written quite long
communication upon the subject, complaining
because the cities allow their rid-raff to go in
to the peaceful rural towns to annoy decent
people. he suggests that it does not speak
wen for the town that 1t should be the place
selected for such disgraceful orgies.

OUR CLAIMS ON ENGLAND.

Speaker Colfax has made an eloquent adj
dress at San Francisco in which he alludes
to our claims upon England. He thinks we
have some claims which the British Govern
ment will allow, and all these questions viii be
amicably settled. He says:
There are some accounts yet unsettled be-
tween our own and foreign governments; but
they will be settled without hostilities. There
is the Alabama's account with Great Britain.
Tremendous applause.l When the Alabama
went down in the British Channel, in sight of
the vine-clad hills of France, and the white
cliffs Of Albion, she left small bill which we
shall ask England to pay, and which she will
pay. Emphatic cheering and applause. +
This is question we can properly submit to
the arbitration of a neutral power, as it is a
question of dollars and cents, and does not af-
feet our national honor in any way. The Ala
bama was an English vessel-built in Eng
land, manned by an English crew, armed with
English guns, supplied over and over with
arms, ammunition, men and provisions in En-
gish Colonial ports; and if this does not give
us fair claim for the damage she did. then
there never was fair claim for damages
IApplause.] And think she will settle it
after little more correspondence on the sub
ject, and take Andy Johnson's receipt in full.
Enthusiastic cheering.

CENSUS OF NEW YORK.

The New York papers are quarreling like
cats and dogs over the recently published CEN
sus returns of that city. 1t would seem that
the great metropolis, like most ambitious vii
lagos, has been addicted to large estimates, and
its population has been set down at about a
million; whereas the census takers can only
find something less than eight hundred thou
sand people. The difference in figures is chief
ly important as diminishing the number of
senators and Representatives to which the city
Is entitled, and thereby curtailing its influence
in the legislature. The World charges fraud /;
while the Republican papers show the census
statistics, contend that figures cannot lie, and
declare that the enumeration has been faithful
" and carefully made No blood has yet been
shed in the quarrel; but the language of some
of the metropolitan" journals smack strongly
of dog-days. h

REV. MR. BoLLEs.s ADnRnss

The address of Rev. E. G. Dolles. of this
city, before the Saccarappa Temperance Lyce-
UNI, on Wednesday evening, it is no extrava-
gance to say was a magnificent affair. The
Congregational meeting house was well filed
with the most attentive listeners, and but for
the threatening storm would doubtless have
been packed.
The subject of the lecture was the loss and
gain of life, or the law of compensation: and
most happily and philosophicaly and eloquent
ly did the speaker present the matter, making
it to bear directly on the question of Temper
ance, and by powerful and apt illustrations
demonstrating the benefits of total abstinence
from all intoxicating drinks, and the utter fol-
ly of their use. ~
The style of the lecture was every way
beautiful, the argument conclusive, and the
appeal irresistible. The treatment of the SUBJ
ject was little out OF the common course. and
all the better for that. The address has left
an impression in favor of Temperance that
cannot be efaced; and its estimate was attest
ed by the audience in unanimous rising vote
of thanks to the speaker.
The services of the occasion were closed nv
the audience singing "America.n s
1t is in the power of our clergymen to render
essential service to the cause of Temperance !;
and ii ever their peculiar influence was need
ed to arrest the progress of intemperance. it is
emphatically now. God prepare those who
see the want to meet it, A thousand bloso;nos
rest on all who are faithful to the obligation.

MAX MARETzEK AND THE NEW
YORK HERALD.

Maretzek and the Herald have not been on
very good terms for some time past. Max
has been too independent to suit Bennets no.
tions and hence the old Scotchman has often
pounced upon him without rhyme or reason.
Max addresses letter to the Herald and does
it in the following language:
@Finally, your assertion that I have become
useless since have been successful, and that
public opinion shall compel me to leave this
country in disgrace, gives me an opportunity
to declare publicly that, after many years of
vicissitudes and hard struggles to establish
OPERA my real success dates from the day your
opposition begun last year; and if ever public
opinion should be able to compel any one to
leave this country think the exodus will
have to start from the corner OF Fulton and
Nassau SITS.
You may, therefore, continue for few years
more your opposition, and in return, will
then be ready to make room for any other
manager better suited to your taste. A little
personal abuse from The Herald may even in
crease my success, and is, therefore, respect
fully solicited. Any small favor in that line
will be thankfully received by
Yours, truly.
Since Bennett began to abuse Max, the lat
ter has greatly prospered and will soon be able
TO retire from his labors.

from which they would have otherwise shut

Now the above may all be true, but some
may have their doubts upon the subject
Time was when we entertained more favola-
BILE opinion of Gen. Lee than we now do. His
apparent reluctance to enter the Confederate
service and become a traitor to his govern
ment, was all very well, so far as it went; but
since that time his course has convinced us
that he is as guilty as JeT Davis or any other
arch traitor in the land: and we are not sure
ne was not more guilty than any other man
who took an active part.in the rebellion. and
dor the reason that he possessed more power.
Davis was unpopular. and was never so near
the hearts Of the people as Lee. We believe
this fact cannot be disputed, and hence we
