Notices of thc Press.

From tn Round Table, New York, July, 1871
The Portland Press evinces a commendable ener-
gy In colating facts pertaining to the commercial
manufacturing and agricultural life OF its State. Its
editorial opinions are also expressed with unusual
weight, and it is the only provincial journal in he
country that pays any considerable attention to Ca
madam events.
TFrom the Watervle MAIL Oct. 25.l
The .proprietors Of the Press are sparing no ex-
pense in strengthening their editorial force and in
improving their paper In every department. A drst
class daily may now be found without going out of
the State.
IFrom the Augusta Standard, Sept. 20, 1871
The Portland Evening Star is conducted with
far more manlness, dignity and honesty, than any
other Republican paper in the State. 1t presents its
views with marked ability and defends them with a
zeal that betokens sincerity, but descend
to personal abuse, SANDER and vil.ncaon of political
opponents. Its course in this respect is in marked
contrast with that of the Press, published in the
same city. aeF -4l-af eaa

The Portland Daily Press is one Of the largest
sized journals, is ably conducted, has regular
pondents in the principal cities in the State in al.
dtioh to its special dispatches and regular
pondents In New York, Washington, &c. We do
not see why citizens who want large sized, po-
