A correspondent of the Ellsworth Amer

"we anticipate good business for the next

The Bangor Wing says: "As an evidence
of how certain mis-statement is to gain cur

here, accidentally reported it as the survey OF

ton Of seeing the wonderful statement going
the rounds Of western exchanges that Bangor
sold over five thousand millions of lumber in
1865! The correction of the statement will
never overtake it." .

THE EFFECTS OF THE LATE GALE on the
waters in New York harbor are thus described
by Mr.. G. Blunt, in communication in the
New York Evening Post
The great fury of the recent storm and its
power over the waters Of our harbor can be
best shown by a statement of what happened
to the British steamer Australasian. This
vessel arrived off Sandy Hook on the 9th, but
was detained by the snow storm until the
28th, at the Southwest Spit On that day she
got under way at AM, and was proceeding
TO the city, and took the bottom in mid channel,
the steamer drawing twenty-one feet nine in
ches, where there should have been the depth
at mean low water of twenty-three feet, and
the tide two hours flood should have given
twenty-four and one half feet, thus showing
that the force of the wind had driven the wa
ter out Of the lower bay, and impeded its rising
two feet nine inches.
The wind was about w. N.W--a direction
that would almost have clean sweep of the
bay-still its power must have been terrific to
cause such diminution of the depth OF the
water against rising tide, and over such an
extent of surface. Had the entrance OF Sandy
Hook Bay been narrow, one might have ex-
pected such phenomenon, but its width
being six nautical miles it makes one marvel
at such great effect.

PUBLIC LIBRARIEs.-While we are discuss
ing the question of public library it is well to
ton. In Fall River, Mass, place with only
about half the population of Portland, upward
of $4,000 have been subscribed for a building
for public library, and a citizen has offered to
furnish it with books. No more contributions
therefore will be required to establish the insti-
tuition. In Providence, a city of about $4,000
inhabitants, the Athen@um now has a library
numbering 29,035 volumes. In addition to the
property in its building and grounds, it also has
a permanent fund of about $4,000, of which
the sum of SIC, 900 was received during the past
year from bequest made by the late Captain
Thomas Poynton Ives Transcript.

TUE Argus is in error in its statement that
the Boston Advertiser and Hartford Times
'are both somewhat larger than the Press
The Advertiser has running title by which
our critical neighbor was probably misled.-
The Advertisers columns and ours are of equal
length. The Boston Post, our neighbor con-
tinues, is considerably larger than the Press
If the Post is larger than the Advertiser it is
larger than the Press. The enlargement was
effected to put the Press fairly among "the
largest New England dailies." If the Post is
trife larger, the difference is not so great as
that which separates the Press from second
class daiiies of the size of the Argus. sFF

BOLD ROBBERY IN NEwBURYPoRT. - On
Tuesday morning ABBOTT one o'clock, daughter
of Mr. J. A. Danforth, on Winter street, awoke
her father in an adjoining room, telling him
that somebody was in her bedroom-she could
hear him breathe. Mr.. Danforth got up and
searching for his clothes, found his pants gone
from the side of his bed, and at the same time
his daughter called that man had run down
stairs. As soon as possible Mr.. Danforth fol-
lowed, taking his gun and calling his brother.
On the new snow they tracked him to the house
OF Mr.. Newell Marden, on Summer Street,
where they discovered Mr.. Danforth's pants in
privy. Thence they tracked him to the Mer-
rimac House, on State Street. Mr. Danforth
found that he had lost from $125 to $150, part
of it in two little bundles of scrip, tied up with
peculiar Irvine and twisted in peculiar man
ner. He gave notice to the City Marshal of
the facts; and Mr.. Constable Batchelder was
put on the watch at the hotel, and in the
morning the City Marshal was on the look
out at the Eastern Railroad Station
Soon Mr.. Batchelder rode up in a coach
with good looking man about forty years
old, named Stone, who was arrestedby the Mar
shall. He was well known here and married
his wife in this city. The officers at once search
ed him and found on him $133. He protested
his innocence Of any crime and made so fair .
statement that they let him go. Afterwards
on going to his room in the Merrimac House
the pieces of Irvine with which Mr. Danforth
tied his scrip were found on the floor, and as he
had missed the eight o'clock train by their in
reference, they were enabled to secure him be-
fore the 10 o'clock train started, in which he
wished to go to Boston. He is bold operator:
and after his first arrest he called at Messrs.
DanfOrth's store, talked over the matter regret
ted that suspicion should have fallen on him,
and hoped they would catch the rogue, and
shook hands at parting with the usual saluta-
ton of happy "new year" for them. From
want OF sufficient evidence he was released
