FOREST CITY PARK.

~ ~ y /. u Y ~
AIR. ]. P, Shaw and others who petitioned
the City Government for "a lease Of land fora
driving park have withdrawn that petition
and selected lot in Westbrook which in every
respect is far superior to that owned by the
city for park. The field selected is located in
Westbrook nearly opposite Libby's1 Corner,
and contains about twenty-five acres. The
land is very level and smooth, and can be east
1y converted into driving park, or race courss
and made suitable for agricultural shows and
military parades.o "A halEmile course can be
prepared at small expense. The land fronts
on the road leading to Stroudwater village ,
and runs back to the water. The land and wa
ter prospects from the ground are grand and
picturesque. It is designed to have central
track where horses and carriages can go aut 5
give the owners a. fine view Of the course with
out in the least obstructing it. =
+ Mr.. Shawsand others who are engaged in
this enterprise proposed to have put into the
lease of these grounds a stipulation that nc
intoxicating liquors should be sold on the
premises. They are determined that all de
moralizing influences shall be avoided as
much as possible. 1t is intended to be q
pleasure ground where all can go and enjoy
themselves ina rational manner. 1t is expect
ed that the work of grading the track will
commence this week. Webelieve our citizens
will lend helping hand to this enterprise
when they learn its true objects, and the
beauty and convenience of the location, which
is but a few rods from the western limits of
Che city, We hope and believe the labors of
Mr.. Shaw viii be crowned with success.

SFrankW. Miller, Esq, editor Of the PORTS

mencement at Dartmouth College, ana suDse-
qaently referred TO the house where ne put up
as follows:
Now the landlord at the dartmouth House
is no doubt very clever feiiow, put he don't
know how to keep hosel, anq Inc trustees
oeneralIy. surely ought to see to it, that a de-
Cent nn5Iic house is provided there. AT any
rate when the Governor of the State. and his
accomplished lady, are invited to Commence
ment, somebody ought to see to it. that HIS
Excelency have epdurable quarters, without
hunting after them inpubiic and private hous-
eS. ~ afrIg
1t seems Boniface considered this compl-
ment a ieft-handed one, so afew days later Mr.
Miller received the following: a4's's ~ .
DARTMOUTH HOUSE, Hanover, July 81, 1865.
Frank w. Miller Esq.,, Dear Sir:-I have
read the remarks in late number OF your pa
per, concerning this House, with which have
some connection. Regarding what you say as

500. or take the risk of an action at law for
damages. Respectfully yours .elttG
ID. p. SMITH.
/ To the above Miller replied in substance,
that his lawyer was retained by the year, that he
was ready for the case, and advised Mr. Smith,
If he wished to become the .laughing-stock of
New England, to . fire away" Mr.. Smith
didn't seem disposed to do this, but sent the

Mr.. F. w. Miller, Dear Sir 81 have your
noteof the LIST instant. In reply, Iwould say
that do not desire advice, but 500, within
one week, Respectfully yours, ms 500
Miller became reasonable in view of this
missiye number two, and argued with his an
tagonist after this sort:
Pray, Mr.. Smith, don't be too swift. Just
| ask yourself how you would like, if you was a
NICE clean man, to wipe your face on towels as
wet as they were dirty have your meals, such
as they might be, spread on acloth to match
the towels, and flies in myriatls and be

CANT BE CONQUERED. We are reminded
by the Marysville Appeal, that jackson Temple,
Copperhead nominee for Congress, last Fall,
went through this District telling the people that
- the South could never be conquered" The
Appeal wonders what the opinion of that worthy
and his Copperhead constituents is now? We can
answer for some Of the constituents They are
satisfied that they were persuaded TO vote the
trator-sy mpathzers ticket through the false
representation of Temple and other leaders, and
have resolved not to be caught in such company
again. They know that they aided and allotted
rebellion by relying upon the assertions and fol-
lowing the advice of these fanatical leaders
Now the party is dead, and at the eleventh hour
they are quietly edging into the Union ranks.

circumstances of Lees detection TO his country
probably on account of the general understand

THE Morning Call thinks this section of the
State has been pretty effectualy rid of Indians
We hope SO, although reports are current that
struggling bands of Indians have again made
their appearance the western border of this
county. That the people do not feel secure from
attack is evinced by the fact that only few days
since gentleman who is engaged in digging a
ditch from Hay Fork canon to the mineral lands
in the valley, was here endeavoring to purchase
arms for the entire gang of hands engaged on
the work. The people do not believe that Indian
troubles are at end.

BERtAH BRowS PETITIONS day last week
the impudcnt old renegade whose name heads
this, sent petition TO the San Francisco Board
of Supervisors. asking them TO rcmunerate him
to the tune of $50 coo for losses which he alleges
to have sustained at the hands of certain people
OF that city The memorial was received and
filed. and shall acknowledge oursclf sadly
mistaken if that is not the last of it. After set
ting forth his imaginary wrongs, lie appeals TO
God that he never did an act inmical TO the
Government and laws of the country As an
instance Of deliberate lying and terrible blasphe-
my il is uncQualcd in our memory. The con-
temptibe Old Northern traitor After acknowi-
edging that he is Governor General of an Order
which has proved to be trea soma bic in its designs
when every political article which he has penned
since the commencement Of the rebellion wheth-
er at Stockton, Sacramento or San Francisco
has teemed with abuse not only of the President
and his cabinet, but towards soldiers fighting
their country's battles, and private citizens who
vcntured to manifest sympathy with the Govern
ment in its grapple with treason. Time and
again since then he has denounced the now dead
President a tyrant. and n man unworthy the
position which he filled. Columns and column;
Of the Democratic Press go 70 show what his past
course hos been.
Brown ought to receive remuneration--but it
should be at the end Of rope He ought to
thank God that his miserable old carcas did not
share the same fate which his types did, for he
knows full well that the people clamored for his
life on the occasion in question, and that he
found sudden change of base necessary. He
may petition, but that will be the end of it. The
loyal people of San Francisco will never consent
to pay the demand sent up by the old dough-face
and traitor If they do, We have entirely mis-
taken them.
P. S.-Since the above was written we have
seen a dispatch stating that Beriah Brown had
skedaddled to Victoria, 3. c., there to probably
remain. We hope So
