GLORIOUS NEWs.-For the past two
months there has been tremendous
outside pressure from the people of this
Congressional District, upon our fellow
citizen Hon. John p. Cook, to induce
him to become candidate for Congress-
Mr.. Cook has firmly resisted the impor-
tunities of his friends and to al. has an
swered, mo; / am out of politics, and
cannot be induced to enter, the field
again." At last his old friends from
Cedar and Linn counties have so far OBJ
tanned his consent, as that he agrees if a
Mass Convention of any respectable
number Of his friends nominate him, he
will yield. tits therefore suggested that
Mass Meeting of all conservative
voters In this Congressional District,
who approve of the action of the late
Philadelphia Convention, meet at Gin
ton, in Clinton county, on Saturday the
18th of August, 1865, at IL o'clock NJ,

Hence we take pride in being numbered

In Memoriann.

Died, in Portland, Sept 7th 1865, of typhoid
fever, Miss MARTHA j. MoULToN, of Parsons
field, Maine.
The subject of this notice had been for sew
eral years member of the Freewill Baptist
Church at Parsonsfeld, and the house of God
became the place of her delight. In the pray
er meeting her place was seldom vacant. She
lie t home to visit her friends in Portland,
thinking to return in a short time: but death
had marked her for its victim. She was taken
ill so suddenly that it was impossible for her
to go home. But all that could be done was
done for her; but the care of friends nor the
skill of physicians could not save her, and at
ter suffering severely for twelve days, she
died. She was fine girl, a good scholar, bore
an excellent character, and is now transplanted
from the family circle into the garden of the
Lord, to bloom forever in the spirit land,
where she can gather living flowers that will
never fade. She has left father, mother,
brother and sister to mourn her loss
Funeral services were held at her fathers.-

THE INTERNAL REvENUE-The Washing
ton Chronicle, in noticing the largely increased
receipts from Internal Revenue the past week,
says:
"The receipts from Internal Revenue during
the past week have amounted to the enormous
sum of nearly $10,000,000 This increase over
the exhibit of the previous week-S4, ,796 GO
is owing to the energy with which the off
GERS of the Bureau have prosecuted their du-
ties in discovering articles which have hither-
to escaped taxation. One of the greatest sue
cesses of the revenue is cotton. The tax paid
on this commodity at Macon, Ca, during the
last three months, amounted to $3.50, OOO-rep-
resenting sale and shipment of $4,000 bales,
valued at S13,000,000 in New York. 1t is ex-
pected that for the months of January, Febru-
airy and March the revenue from the same
source, at the same place, will reach more than
$5000,000."

A VALUABLE DoG.-Messrs. Chenery d
Taylor, opposite the Preble House, own
large Newfoundland dog that delights to play
with the boys on the ice. One boy will take
hold of the tail of the dog, and some eight or
ten boys will form behind the first one, hold
ing on to the coat flaps of each other, and the
dog will then draw them on the ice swifter
than any skater can glide.
Wednesday, while the boys were playing
with the dog on the ice at Back Cove, one of
the little fellows broke through into the water.
Before his comrades could rally to his assist
ance the dog had seized the lad by the Shout
der and dragged him out of the water ON to
the firm ice.
