That it would be very gratifying to tie i'm.
mediate personal friends of Hon. John J. Per
ry and tc the people Of Oxford County gener-
ally, to see him elected to the Secretaryship OF
State the coming winter, we well know,--that
it would be compliment to Old Oxford which
was the pioneer County in Repubicanism, ana
which has always stood firni-a compliment
which she must appreciate, is equally true.
Above all this, the elevation OF such man,
who has State and National reputation for
soundness OF political views and personal in
tegrity, would be highly creditable to our
State.
Mr.. Perry is practical man in every sense
Of the word, well versed in State and National
affairs, an original thinker and pointed writer,
and is just the man for the place.
1t ought to be only necessary to have it uD-
derstood that his services could be secured, 10
give him triumphant election, and we hope
no faeSsing of interested parties will compli-
cate the question with any Others, SO as to en-
barrass the free action OF the Legislature.

eiected last year had it been thought advisable,

Commercial street.

The Richardson Wharf Company have
erected fine large brick block of three stores
on the Northern side of Commercial street.
occupying part of the lot where stood the old
Printers Exchange ard standing on the cor
uer of Commercial and Cotton streets. 1t is
four stories high and has been built expressly
for the grain and flour business. The two first
stores have frontage on Commercial street. of
twenty feet, and a depth of eighty feet. The
third has frontage Of thirty-two feet and has
the same depth Of the first two. Mr.. Levi
Newcomb the architect, has planned build
ing here of remarkable convenience for the
business for which it was intended; and the
extension of Cross street has made this a very
desirable location for business OF this kind; as
this will be one of the easiest ways to get
freight from Commercial street to the heart OF,
and across the city. b tfE lJiA
Asplendid brick block of four stores has
been put up by J. B. Brown on this street, near
his Sugar House. One half of which is to be
occupied by J. B. Brown & Sons, and the
other half by the firm of Churchill, Browns &
Manson, commission merchants. The building
is four stories high, with an architectural front
of brick and granite that is very pleasing and
ornamental. The masonry of this building
was don, by Kinds & Acken, and is very
commendabe piece of work. On the second
floor are the counting rooms of }. 3. Brown
& Sons, and also those Of the firm of Church
i'll, Browns & Manson. These counting rooms
are splendidly fitted up, having fine finish of
ash, and the taste and conveniences displayed
are well worth looking at '' 'A'i 'i
The Increase of the lumber business has me-
cessitated the building of two new iwharves
nearly opposite Browns Sugar House. One
OF these-called the Perley wharf-is wholly
occupied by the Norton Mills Company, for
carrying on their lumber business, which is
very extensive. The most Of their lumber
comes over the Grand Trunk Railway from
Norton, Vermont, and is nearly all shipped by
them from this wharf. Just below this is the
High Street Wharf-also new-three fourths
OF which is used by A. S. Perkins, lumber
dealer. A wharf has baen built next above
the Perley whayf, that is to be used wholly for
lumber. The old firm of T. & j. B. Cum
mings, lumber dealers, now occupy an eighth
of Smiths wharf, the increase of their bust
ness making it necessary that they should have
more room. ..f..lfl..1... fi
This end of this street has improved i'll ap-
pearance very much within the last six
months, and next year the new depot to be
built by the P. s. s. p Railroad will be a great
addition to the Improvements that have al
ready been made.

meetings, both business and devotional, are
well attended and constantly deveiope an in

ing of the Board of Managers, it was voted to
remove from their present quarters on Middle
street to the Hall and rooms connected there
with, on the corner of Congress and Brown
streets. These rooms have been leased to the
Association by the proprietor, the Hon. j. B.
Brown, at a rate which make him oontribu-

ANALYSIS OF THE IMPEACHMENT voTE-
The htty-seven members of the House of Rep

Maryland, Michigan, one each; Massachusetts,,
New Hampshire and Iowa, two each; New
York and Wisconsin, three each; Ohio and
Tennessee, five each; Illinois and Indiana, six
each; Missouri eight, and Pennsylvania nine.
The one hundred and eight anti.impeachers

forty Democrats and Conservatives The
si3ty-six Republicans are classed by States as

and New jersey, two each; Vermont, three
Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Maine, four each;
pennsylvania, five; Massachusetts,, seven Ohio,

NOTHING we bear from or about Italy is sur
prising after all that has occurred during the
last few months. So we fully credit the ro-
portthat Garbaidi has again escaped from
CapreTa, that a new movement is on foot
against Rome, that Italy is in an angry and dan
gerous mood over Mr.. Rouher's speech to the
French Corps Legislatif in which he declared
that Italy should not take Rome by force, that
the American consul at Rome fought against
the Garibaldians, and finally that Bomba, ex-
King of Naples offered to serve as a private
in the army of The Pope. We expect to hear
next that Surratt escaped from Washington,
Joined his old comrades in the Papal Zuuaves
and led the assault against the insur- ents at
