d LECTURE ON NATURAL HIsToRY-A select
and appreciative audience, greater in point of
numbers than might have been expected on so
cold a night, greeted Mr.. Morse's first lecture
on Natural History last evening, and listened
with much interest to his clear and attractive
exposition of his favorite topic The special
theme Of this the opening lecture was the low
er forms of animal life, the PROTOCOL and the
kadiates, Many very interesting facts were
developed in relation to the Polyps, the coral
builders and spongemakers; and the sim
gnlar habits of the Jelly-fshes, their curious
modes of feeding, of locomotion and of repro
duction were described with some detail. The
| lecturer referred briefly to the principle which
guides the naturalsts in assigning the relative
rank of different creatures in the scale of ami
NAL ife--the recognition of an analogy between
the young of the higher type and the adult
forms of a type that is lower This analogy he
promised. to still further illustrate in a future
lecture.
Mr.. Morse's explanations are singularly clear
he does not deal in technicalities, but uses
terms which all can understand. His illustra-
tons are happy; and his rapid and graceful de-
lineations upon the blackboard heighten the
interest OF the scientific facts he presents. His
lectures offer an opportunity of combining
pleasure with instruction such as should not
be allowed to pass unimproved.

A Paper Enlarged 20 the size of the iarue.t
New England Dailies.

The enlargement of daily edition Is equivalent
to the addition of between three and four columns to
its SIZE This additional space will be devoted to de-
tails OF important events, which have heretofore
been Obliged to give in brief and to selections from
current literature grave or gay, such as we have
lately been obliged to omit altogether.
What the character of the paper thus enlarged will
be- its past history will show. The PRESS was es-
tablshed primarily to represent the Republican par
ty of Maine 1t was impossible for the controlling
party of the State to remain voceess in this city.
The Press will continue to defend the principles OF
the Liberal party of America. The war has closed
one great cycle in national history-the cycle
during which arisocracy at the South and democra-
cy at the North grew up side by side, period OF
Jealousy and conflict, resulting in appeal to arms
and the victorious supremacy Of the democratic prin
cple. We have entered state of transition, which
seems likely to prove longer than most OF antici
pated The PRESS will insist upon a settlement
which will secure the fruits of our victory Nothing
is settled till it is settled right. We must have de-
mocracy at the South as well at the North-equal
rights for all secured by equal laws, freedom OF
Speech freedom of the press impartial suffrage. OF
the profound convictions of the Republican party Of
Maine, the PRESS will remain faithful exponent.
We have engaged

BRICK MANUFACTURE A charter was yes
terday granted, by the Circuit Court of this
county, to j. P Bonnell and his associates, a
company formed for the purpose Of carrying
on brick making on an extensive scale in this
county. We understand that the new company
have purchased of Mrs. Virginia Scott, tract
of one hundred acres of land, called Waterloo,
on the Washington and Alexandra Turnpike,
about four aud half miles from this city, and
three miles from Washington. for the sum Of
$4,000, and have contracted for the necessary
machinery, the cost OF which will be about
$40, 900, and by means Of which the company
expect to turn out 40, 600 bricks per day during
the season. The clay is said to be OF excellent
quality, admirably suited for the purpose, and
the enterprise bids fair to be very successful.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT The heavy rains OF
Wednesday night washed away small culvert
on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, few
miles from this city, and as the train yesterday
morning was coming in, the tmbers over it
gave way, and the hind most car fell through,
but fortunately no one was injured, and the car
was but little damaged. Another small bridge
over Owl Run was also washed away, but has
been replaced. and the trains are all running
regularly again The washing away of these
bridges caused slight delay in the arrival OF
the freight train, which did not reach Union
street this morning until after change hours.
