ROBBERY AND ARREsr.-A young man from
the country named Stackpole was robbed in
the barracks near the Jail ON Friday evening
of $50 and a gold watch. He went there to
see woman, and while walking out with her
two fellows pitched into him and cleaned him
out Stackpole made complaint at the police
office, and officers McIntire and Dolley went
to see the girl with whom Stackpole was walk
ing. She knew the persons who attacked him
and told the officers their names. Subsequent
ly the officers arrested Edward j. Divine and
Shamos Clusky for committing the robbery,
and they were locked up in jail. The girl,
whose name is Mahala Hamilton, was also ar

The PRICE CURRENT.-The last number of
the Price Current contains the valedictory of
its founder, Mr.. NJ. N. Rich, who retires from
the editorial and business control of it, having
disposed of all his interest in it to his brother,
Mr.. F. G. Rich, by whom, hereafter it will be
edited and published.
During the seven years Mr.. Rich has con-
Quoted that paper he has won to himself hosts
of friends, especially in our business commu-
nifty, who learn with regret his withdrawal
from the concern. His activity and earnest
ness for the promotion of the business inter-

merchants; and sure we are that in whatever
situation he may be placed, his efforts always
will be to promote the prosperity of Portland

AN EXECUTION IN VERMoNT.-Only two ex.
ecutions have occurred in Vermont within the
last forty years, and one of those was on Fri
day last when John Ward, alias Jerome La.
vigne, alias "the unknown young man." was
hung at Windsor, for the murder of Mrs. Girls
void at Williston on the 9th of August 1865.
The murder was one of peculiar atrocity,
Ward having committed the crime for money
given him by one Potter, son-in-iaw of Mrs.
Griswold. Ward maintained the most perfect
composure on the scaffold. He acknowledged
that be was an accomplish in the murder, but
not that he was an active participant.

CURIOUS ANNIvERsARY ExERcIsEs-A spec.
ial dispatch TO the Star from Newburyport
Mass, says that yesterday morning at about
1915 two alarms OF fire were given, occasioned
by the First Baptist Church, on Congress St.
and the Congregational church on Harris St.
being on fire. sBoth were extinguished with
out much damage. They were both set on
fire. This is the anniversary of the Burning
of the North Church in 1861, and no doubt the
incendiaries intended to celebrate it in this
manner. There was very severe snow storm
prevailing at the time.

two teamsters, on jigger, going up York street
on their way home, were seen using their fists

South, as it began to snow In Philadelphia

and in Boston very early Saturday morning
larger amount of snow having fallen in those
cities than at any previous storm.
In this city it commenced showing just be-
fore sunrise Saturday, and continued all day.
the wind blowing a gale and throwing the snow
into drifts. The horse cars attempted to make
their trips but were obliged to be withdrawn.
Commercial street was almost deserted the
wind having such sweep through that BUSH
ness mart as to render it very uncomfortable
either for man or beast.
The railroads west were much blocked. The
weight of the storm appeared to be upon the
coast; for the train from Boston via Boston
and Maine railroad, the inland route, which
left that city at 7.30 A NJ. was only one hour
behind time in its arrival here; while the train
on the Eastern railroad, which left at the same
time, was three and half hours late in srrv-
ing here. The afternoon train from Boston
arrived about II O'clock in the evening. The
trains on the roads east of this city were not
much behind time, the storm not having block

BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.-The
programme of this evenings entertainment
for the benefit of the Public Library is very
attractive. Mr.. Murray reads three pieces
which we believe he has never before read in
this city. They are from the English classics,
and afford very pleasing variety for the ex-
ercise of Mr.. Murray's Evolutionary powers.
The selection from Tennyson is the parting
between Queen Guinevere and King Arthur,
which will be remembered by all lovers of the
great poet. From Shakespeare the scene in
which Richard Third wooes and wins Lady
Anne under such strange circumstances has
been selected. This is piece that person
possessing less dramatic ability than Mr.. Muir
ray might hesitate to undertake, but having
listened to him, on prveious occasions and
having witnessed his success in equally diff
cult impersOnations, we predict withsgreat
confidence that he will prove equal to this.
DIR. Marigold, the "cheap jack, one of Dick
ems characters in whom fun and pathos are
pleasantly united, will be the closing piece
Mr. Murray's readings in Boston have been
warmly commended by the papers of that city,
thus strongly confirming the impression con-
corning his ability as public reader which
has long prevailed among his fellow citizens Of
Portland. Variety will be given to the enter
tainment by music furnished by the Poly
phonic Club. ...,..- t.. .o.-,.,,s
Since writing the above we learn that by
special request Mr.. Murray will read, in addi-
ton to the pieces already announced, "Mrs.
Camp" from Dickens Martin Chuzzlewit-
This piece is sure to convulse the audience
with laughter, as it did the modern Athenians
few days ago. "Sairey" is one of the most
humorous characters in literature

To-Day the Court of impeachment will be in
session for the purpose Of allowing the Presi-
oents counsel 20 file their answer to the arfi-
cles of impeachment Tomorrow or next day
the managers on the part of the House Will
file replication to this answer, and unless
the Presidents application for further time
for the preparation of his defence Is allowed
the trial will then proceed. After the trial
commences no further legislative business
will be done until its conclusion, the House
having determined to be present in the SEN
ate Chamber during its progress. They viii
take this course, it is said, for the sake OF
healthy "moral effect upon the Senate, which
naturally becomes little conservative upon
assuming judicial duties.
| There is not the slightest doubt that the
President will be treated with the most
scrupulous fairness. If every criminal, or sup
posed criminal, could be sure of a hearing be-
fore Jury of such men as Fessenden, morrill,
Sumner, Wilson and nearly forty more Oh tne
ablest men in the country joined with ooz
| en- other individuals who have each bondreo
times declared their belief in his entire limo
| cenee his situation would not be regarded 81
especiallv deplorable. This is exactly the cast
of Andrew johnson. The number of hi
Judges who have expressed an opinion favor
able to his innocence is double the numcer o
those who have iutimated that they SHOULD
'vote for his conviction. The efforts incessant
ly made by the Copperheads to cast discredi
upon the conduct of the Senate since impeach
ment proceedings were initiated are futile
for certainly all its proceedings have beef
regulated by the strictest requirements Q
decorum aud justice. The proprieties of
court room have, so far as we have seen, onl
once been outraged, and that was when MI
Stanbery, the leading attorney for the Presi
dent, few into passion on the first day of hi
| appearance.
The Portland daily press., 1868-03-23

The WAR OF GIANTs.-Impeachmen and
reconstruction are overshadowed as topics OF
public interest by the war of railroad Kings in
New York. The legislatures of both New
York and New Jersey have been called upon
to become parties to the strife between Erie
and Central. The former body is importuned
to legalize the issue of stock by the Erie direc-
tors, against which Commodore Vanderbilt has
procured an injunction. The railroad commit.
tee of the legislature is now hearing both par
ties. Meanwhile the legislative body of the
Kingdom of New Jersey has passed an act
making the Erie road New Jersey corpora
ton, SO that Mr.. Drew and his associates can
transact the business of the company at Jer-
sey city where they are still fortified. They
require larger body guard than general
officer in active service. On Thursday night
seventy-ive policemen were in attendance and
two companies of State guards were held in
readiness.
Hitherto neither of the two parties has SEEM
ed to gain much advantage over the other, and
both have wished that might or Blucher''
would come 1t is rumored that the expected
reinforcement is now approaching, and comes
to the aid of Vanderbilt. Aston has Joined the
Commodore, and thrown the weight of his
untold millions into the scale of the Central
