THE vote in the Senate on the veto OF
the Arkansas bill was reported by tele-
graph yesterday morning. The bill
was passed over the veto by vote of
O,o7. It's apparent from this vote
the Presidents friends did not think 1t
worth the effort to try to defeat 1t, and
many were not present. This action
leaves no doubt, we presume, that the
Omnibus bill, II vetoed, will also be
passed over the veto. johnson writes

cate his claim to be mule, with aview
to improve his standing before the New

FREsH9T IN THE SAco-Tbs recent excessive
rains have raised the Saco River to a point
higher than it has been before for number of
years. A freshet ON this river is scepe OF
wildness and grandeur, especially at Salmon
Falls, where the river runs through a rocky
ravine and has fall of about one hundred
feet. Those who have stood near the Portland
Lighthouse in time of storm, when the At
lantic has been lashed to fury by high Winds
and the mighty waves come rushing in over
the rocky deep, throwing the water high up in
the air and far up on the shore; those who
have seen this, have an idea of the appearance
of this ravine in time of high water. Ofcourse
this is on q smaller scale, but there is a vast
body of water passing through here and it is
handled in a manner that will make you dizzy
to gaze upon. With great force the water is
hurled into the deep recesses and crevicfs of
the rocks, and with equal force is resisted
and sent back to join the rest in its downward
course. About two-thirds the way down the
ravine it is allowed to rest few moments in a
large eddy covering two or three acres. Here
however it is constantly kept in motion ike a
trotting horse after passing over the course and
after moving slowly around once or twice is
hurried off over another broken decent
On account of the high water there is a gen.
ing villages located on its banks, and the lum'
bermens attention is turned to the security Of
their logs up river.

Railroad Meeting.

Whereas, the Mayor and Aldermen have called
Ward Meetings of the legal voters in the several
wards, to be held Wednesday, the 9th inst, to
fee if the citizens will vote to change their vote of
the 3Oth April, 1861 whereby the city voted to lend
the credit of the city to the Portland and Ogdens-
burg Railroad Company, to the amount of $7OO,OoO
upon receiving good security for the
same, satisfactory to the Mayor and Al
dermen, and in lieu thereof adopt the
startling proposition of voting that the
city, in its corporate capacity, shall SUBJ
scribe for stock i'm said Railroad, to the
amount of two and onc-baIf per cent. of
the valuation of the city for 1S6S, not
exceeding SS5O,OOO.
All who believe that to make such change would
be fatal to the prosperity of the city and unjust
this great majority of citizens; and all who be-
lieye that TO make such change would involve the
loss the part of the city of all the money put
the Railroad and lead to call the city for mil
lions more; and all who opposed to the policy of
the city subscribing for Railroad stock and going
into the business of constructing and operating rail-
roads; and all who are opposed to the increase Of
rents and taxes; and all who opposed to the lay
ing Of heavier taxes on widows and orphans who
cannot vote and of the people ally for the ben
eft OF few, are invited to meet in

FoRGIvNG.-A man living at Salmon Falls,
Buxton, is the owner of a small dog that is
worthless, and whose only ambition is to excel
in following carriages and annoying the occu-
pants by continual barking Last Sabbath
the owner was standing on the bridge at that
village, viewing the falls as they appear at this
time of high water, when he thought it was an
excellent opportunity to consign Fido to a
watery grave and relieve himself of a trouble.
He accordingly raised him gently and with
some grief-for who will not become attached
to dog-passed him out over the rail and
dropped him into the foaming water below.
He watched him as he was hurried away,
catching glimpses as he came to the surface,
and saw him as he was carried into the ravine.
He then wended bis way home, rather regret
ting that he had drowned his pet, but what
was his surprise on arriving in sight of his
house to see Fido setting ON the front steps
watching for some carriage to come along that
he might have an opportunity for little exer-
else and relieve himself from the effects of the
cold bath. The dog came out to meet his mas
ter as pleased as ever, and acted as though he
thought the whole thing was intended for a
joke. He will probably be allowed to live now,
and his barking will cease to be an annoyance
to those who are familiar with these falls and
know what Fido has passed through.

MAMMOTH SwINDLE.-The Washington
Library Company of Philadelphia was char
tered by the legislature of Pennsylvania in
1861 for legitimate and praiseworthy purposes,
but during last year it was prostituted by
certain dishonest men to the basest ends.
The scheme for distributing 100000 in prizes
to the shareholders in the corporation for the
purpose of endowing the Riverside Institute
for the gratuitous education of the orphans of
soldiers and sailors was perhaps at the outset
just what it purported to be; at any rate the
plan was endorsed by SO many men of high
standing and unimpeac liable character that
the agents who engaged in the work of dispos-
ing OF the shares were successfully imposed
upon and made to believe that they were en-
gagged in legitimate business. Thousands of
persons in this and other States became share
holders. Owing to the active exertions of
Messrs. George r. Davis & Co., agents for
this city, all eDgravings to which subscribers
here were entitled were actually received by
them, but in othes cities not even the engrav-
ings were received. OF the promised 100000
in presents" only $500 was actually drawn by
the victims of this gigantic swindle. The for
ty, twenty and ten thousand dollar presents"
cities for that purpose by the gang of blacklegs
in Philadelphia The whole scheme was rot
ten with corruption through and through.
The subsequent proceedings of the scoundrels
have been still more infamous. Driven from
Philadelphia where their character became too
well known TO make their operations so safe
as agreeable, they have established themselves
in New York. A few months ago they sent
new certificates to the shareholders" inform
ing them that there was to be a new distribu-
ton of presents, and within week or two let
tiers have been sent to eve''y one Of the victims
advising them that they had drawn prizes of
the value of $500 which would be forwarded
upon receipt Of foe per cent, Of that sum at New
York. The swindle is too transparent to de-
ceive any considerable number of the share
holders, but there may be some who need to
be told that if they sent the $40 asked for there
is an absolute certainty that they will receive
nothing in return. The Riverside Institute
swinde is of the same gross and outrageous
character as "Kelley's Gift Enterprise" and
the Gettysburg scheme.

The WEATHER.-It is no use denying the
fact, if articles of impeachment were drawn
up against the weather clerk and the matter
was brought before the people for their de-

hear more fault found with the weather than
any another one thing excepting the mud on
Commercial street. The season is late, but we
are promised "seed time and harvest" and
we shall probably have it this year as always
before The grass never looked better than
this season. 1t is little backward, but is
very even and the amount of winter-killed
roots is very small compared with last year.
The apple trees in the country are also back
ward, but nevertheless look promising and give
evidence of bountiful fruit crop.
