TrMprnANor LrcruRrs.-We would cali

attention to the Lyceum Lectures advertised
by the Good Templars. Several additional
attractions have been added to make the
Course fully equal in point of talent to either
of the others, and we think the Committee
have iuily succeeded and are deserving of a
liberal patronage from all classes, especially
nom the temperance community. Gen. Carey,
the champion CT Ohio, and an orator of un-
equalled ability, will deliver two lectures in
The Course. Hon. Judge Frye, of California,
has also been added to the list, making, in all,

AN UGLY CUSTOMER GOT RID oF.-Lieut
J. N. Morrill,, of Co. G, 18th Maine, in the
battle of Spottsylvania, on the 18th of May
1884, received mimic ball in the left thigh,
which hauled him up for year before he was
able to get about. The surgeon who attended
him did not deem it safe to operate upon the
limb to extract the ball, and he has been suf-
fering with it until this week, when it was ex-
tracted by DR.. Robinson, of this city, much to
the relief Of Lieut.. M. who walked into our
Office yesterday, and exhibited the rebel ball
that he had carried so long in his person.

NEW FIRM.-Messrs. Converse o. Leach,
Frank Bartlett, and Horace 8. Parker, have
formed copartnership under the firm name
of Leach, Bartlett & Parker, and have taken
the stand recently occupied by Locke G Co.,
No. 5 Deering Block, Congress street, where
they will carry on the Dry Goods business at
wholesale and retail.
The members of this firm are all Portland
boys. Mr.. Leach was formerly clerk in the
establishment of Mr.. Edward Howe, and
afterwards purchased the stock. Subsequently
he was appointed consul at st. Johns, N. F.,
the affairs of which office he conducted with
great credit. He now returns to his native
city to establish himself here.
Mr.. Bartlett was for many years in the large
wholesale establishment of Messrs. Woodman,
True g. Co. '.toaDa .aait s'.afs B.
Mr.. Parker has been in a dry goods estab-
lishment for six or seven years, and fer some
time past in one of the largest jobbing houses
in Boston.
The thorough, practical knowledge Of each
of the firm, in the dry goods trade, and their
experiencein the wholesale business, give them
great advantagei in purchasing. Mr.. Bartlett
who was in Boston, and New York at the time
of the fall in dry goods, took advantage Of
it in making purchases. Their stock is large,
well selected, and well purchased. They in
tend to keep their establishment fully supplied
with all the latest styles of dress goods, Of
every description, while their line Of goods for
household and other purposes, will not be eX-
ceeded by any establishment; and they will
offer their goods at such prices as cannot fail
