PEAT IN MAINE.-The Bangor Wing says
Owhers OF peat boys are getting somewhat
interested in their property Just now, and are
making anxious inquiries as to present or
prospective values. If they do not commit the
mistake OF holding on for speculative prices
the article will, we think, come into general
use as fuel, and will bring down the price of
coal In our markets. If extravagant prices are
demanded, however. for the lands NOW nearly
vaiueless 10 the ownere.) the whole thing will
collapse. and the boys may lie a hundred wears
before their contents are brought to market

ILLICIT INSTALLATION In PHILADELPHIA-
On "wednesday revenue officers Of the Second
District, Philadelphia, paid a visit TO the
southwestern portion of the city, and made
seizure Of nine stills, four Of which were in
operation; and others had evidently been so
within a short time. There would have been
more seizures, but when the officers entered
certain designated places, they found evidence
OF hasty removal, showing that in for alton
had been convey ed no the persons engaged in
Illicit clstillation of whiskey. At some places
the officers were resisted in the execution of
their duty. As the seizures were all made
within a circuit of about halt a mile some
idea may be formed of the extent TO which the
revenue law Is violated within the city limits
