death OF David Parker He died at Shaker
Village Sunday morning, January 2Oth having
been sick some fonr weeks. His disease COM

unpleasant day, he took such cold that his
abscess turned into an erysipelas gathering of
enormous size. 1t assumed at length SO form

otherwise than fatal 1t would seem that some
such horrid draught as this was NECESSARY i'm

HEAVY BLAsTING.-The crowd in waiting at
the Post Office yesterday, between one and
two O'Clock, waiting the distribution of the
Southern mail, and the clerks in the office,
were astonished at the explosion of some half
a dozen heavy charges in the ledge on the Stur-
divant lot ON Market street, opposite the post
Office building A tremendous shower of
stones followed the reports, some of the rocks
weighing one hundred pounds being thrown
with great violence against the building, some
of them through the window into the vestibule
of the post Office, and one weighing ten pounds
into the inspectors room in the Custom House
part of the edifiee. A large amount of glass
was broken in the Custom House windows
which it will cost something to repair. Fortu-
nately no person was injured, though it re-
quired great deal of skill and agility to dodge
the fragments as they fell. The blasts were
not properly covered, as they should have been,
with heavy timber.

SOMETHING NEw.-Messrs. A. M. Smith and
G. j. Clark have opened wholesale Tea, Cot
fee and Spice store, at 1859 Fore street. A store
entirely devoted to such articles is new for
Portland, and we hope will meet with favor
from our merchants. There is no reason why
the retail trade of the city and the State should
not get their supplies here One house that
buys largely can buy on better terms; and a
house that makes this branch speciality will
be likely to be better judges, and, therefore,
always have good articles; and for these rea-
sons it is for the interest of the trade here and
through the State to patronize and make their
trade as large as possible. ut gives us pleasure
to say that Messrs Smith g. Clark are reliable
men, and understand their business-Price

THE LATEST ADVERTISING DoDGE-A Paris
correspondent writes that La Liberte has late
ly gained great reputation as culinary jour
nal Every day it is in the habit of publish
ing, by way Of guide to housekeepers going
to market, the "bill of fare If tomorrow" with
a commentary on the provisions of the season
by Baron Brisse. Rival journals say that
Brisses articles are the only ones that make
the paper sell. A rival signing himself "Bal-
thazar" took up the same practice in the Ca
zette des strangers, the result of which is thus
given by the correspondent above mentioned:
"This competition is at once met by Girardin
by change ofprogramme. 1t is announced
that as Baron Brisse will bring out on New
Years day gastronomic almanac, containing
an elaborate bill of fare for every day in the
year, the usual publications under mis- sigma
ture in the Liberte will be unnecessary. New
ertheless he will use his reputation to accredit
publications of different kind. Every day the
Liberte will publish "a family dinner of three
dishes only. And every Sunday it will give
the bill of fare of grand dinner, selected by
Baron Brisse from menus sent in by the public,
and the one chosen will be attested by the
name of the cook, whether of restaurant club
or private house, who sends it in" I'D

Take any number of tickets-say 100 1000

being equal to unity. Now, all that is necessa-
