The, WINTHROP EXCURSION - We are
pleased to learn that this event, which came
off last week, was decidedly pleasant and sue
cessful. The party assembled represented all
the leading towns from Portland to Bangor.
We regret the force of circumstances that rem
dered it impossible for the Press to he repre-
scented, and assure our brothers Of the quill
present that it would have given us sincere
qualification to have met them ard Joined in
the festivities of the occasion. Portland peo-
pie who were there, speak in glowing terms Of
Winthrop, the scenery, fishing, and hospitable
entertainment. OF course the object Of the
excursion was to make known the place as a
resort, and if it be but one-half as delightful as
we are informed, then those interested have
only to keep the fact familiar with the public
to render it famous as place for country rec
reation and lustication. ~ hs

ALMOST FIRE.-Citzens were quarreling and
wrangling among themselyes on Thursday about
a fire police, aad who should hold those valuable
Offices. About the time they had almost concln-
ded not to have any, little sheet of fire shot up
from the roof of Highly & Co., on the corner Of
Wall and Main streets, which was fortunately ex-
t;nguished In five minutes more the whole block
would have had an opportunity Of following Elijah
in cloud of cinders. This little incident helped
TO bring people to their sesnes, and they went to
the meeting in the evening.
