THE ENGLISH PRESS ON THE RELEASE OF

applauded by the English press as an act Of
wise forbearance and magnanimity. The Lon

our government for the lives of the Fenians
convicted in Canada did certainly not preach

SHARP PRAorICE.-We find the following
anecdote in "a. Heads" last letter to the New
Orleans Crescent Tho letter purports to
be written on shipboard. Perhaps the story
may as well go under the head of Portland
and Vicinity" as anywhere else:
I expect to be in Liverpool in the morning
and so will wind this UP with q good story
about certain republican, temperance law
town in New England. 800.
1t seems that during the excitement of the
State election, the contest being as hot as if the
opposing candidates had all been put into q
July, the "Copperheads" ESQ oalled) sent to
Boston and engaged the popular- Brass
Band. The band then refused to come and
play of Saturday night unless they were paid
for the Saturday and Sunday both. Here was
dilemma. But the Copperheads telegraphed
them to come; secretly had lot OF pro-
grammes printed for q Sunday evening sacred
concert. got a popular musician to circulate
the same, &C., with the Ostensible and loudly
proclaimed purpose of q sacred concert, by and
for the personal and entire benefit of said
members of said band. Sunday eve came and
with it crowds of republicans with their fami-
lies who rarely went to q concert on q Sunday
eve. before, and the harvest was golden. But
the joke is that innocent republicans who were
spending money, time and influence to defeat
their opponents on the morrow, actually went
to this CQpperhead concert under q Copper
head tent, and contributed money enough to
pay the cOpperheads for their expense in putt
ting up said tent, paying the band and Their
ance in the Copperheads' purse to be spent BY
them on the election the neat day! Doubtless
they will learn the fact for the first time when
these lines meet their eye.

The play of both Clubs was exceedingly
changeable, often spirits of excellent catching
or batting, then very poor. The only home
runs were made by Smith and McAllester, of
the Eons. Very pretty fly catches were made
by Bailey, Quimby, Haskell and Sturgis, of the
Crescent, and by Evans, Haggett, Smith and
Randall, of the Cons The playing of the short
stop of Eon eliciied special praise. The whole
game was played with much spirit, and the
best possible feeling prevailed throughout.
We think the Crescents have no reason to
feel at all discouraged by the defeat, as this is
but their second match, and the first when tho
nine have played together. They certainly
showed that they posses the elements of first
class club. I'D .- @8V sT

deavors to keep the large number of spectators

how the United States have punished them
We are glad that Davis is set free. His life
has been, happily for mankind, a failure, and
the best thing that can be hoped for him is that
the world may soon forget him, and history
only give few passing Lies to his namo."

The OLD PATRON; or, The Great Van Brock
Property By James A. Maitland, author of
"The Waterman" "The Diary of an Old
Doctor" etc. Three volumes in one. Phil
adelphia: I. b. Peterson & Brothers.
This, as its title imports, is story of one of
those vast old Dutch estates in New York
which have been the subject of so much litiga-
ton, and at one time the cause of widespread
disaffectien, riot and bloodshed, 1t is an in
geniously contrived tale, told with some degree
of rude power, and showing good deal of
shrewd observation of certain special phases of
city life which the writer has evidently had
good opportunities of studying With the ms
and outs of party politics, and partisan jour
nalism he seems quite familiar; but his rural
pictures will hardly psss. His style has not
much to recommend it, in point of elegance at
least, but his book is written for the mass who
are not critical, and they will read and like it..
