Another accident, involving the loss of much
valuable mail NATTER occurred on the New
Jersey Central Railroad ON Wednesday. A
baggage car caught fire from the sparks of the
locomotive, and in few minutes it and nearly
the whole of its contents were destroyed This,
we believe, is the third accident of the kind
which has occurred on the same road within
very few months, and yet the Company in
opposition to the wishes of the public who
support them, persist in using wooden cars
instead of iron ones, every day and hour leav-
ing valuable property intrusted to them liable
to destruction.

Mexico. He fully describes the silver haciendas

poured out Ike water on a hundred bloody
fields, cries aloud to us to press on to the go-
rious consummation for which so much has
ioyfulIy been sacrificed. The election of Grant
and Colfax secures the ascendency of Liberty,
Justice and Peace. 1t is the AppomattOx of
our civil conflict. 1t insures that ours shall be
henceforth land of Equal Rights and Equal
Laws. 1t makes our recent history coherent
and logical. 1t demonstrates that the discom-
future Of the Rebellion was no blunder and no
accident, but the triumph of principle and an
added proof that God reigns.

THE LA GRANaE-BRIeNoLI CoNcERT.-The
concert given at City Hall last evening drew
ont fine audience of the fashionable and
music-loving people of Portland. 1t is not Of
ten that on our provincial" boards is gathered
such galaxy of brilliant stars and certainly
it is very seldom that we enjoy musical en-
tertainment so varied and delightful. Ma
dame de La Grange was in fine voice, sang SUI
perbly, and looked as beautiful and queenly as
ever. After all her long succession of bril-
liant triumphs she is still fresh, and always
the same consummate artist. Mile. Stella
Bonheur made most favorable first impress
sion. Her voice is rather a mezzo soprano
than contralto, and of remarkable volume
and compass. Her first aria, from ''Lucretia
Borgia," took the house by storm, and made
her favorite at once. ...
The great tenor was never better than in the
duet from "Trovatore." His English song,
too, was charming, and was warmly encored.
Signor Sarti was most happy in the trio from
"The Barber" The clarionet solo, performed
by Signor Ciccone was really admirable, and
might have been the chief feature of any ordi-
nary programme.
We have neither time nor space to speak at
length of the various pieces, but the entire
performance was one of the most artistic as
well as the most charming to which our citi-
zens have been treated.
This evening an entirely new programme
will be given, embracing the full strength of
the company, with some of the choicest pieces
in the repertoire of each artist, and the entire
first act of "T,ucia di T,ammermoor." also the
"Brindisi" from Lucretia Borgia, and the con-
Guiding act of "Trovatore." The opportunity
for a rich musical treat is one not often pre-
scented, and no one should fail to take advan-
tage of it. Tickets should be taken early.

MAINE SOLDIERS RELIEF FUND.-We publish
on the first page of to-day's paper the cores
pondence of Hon. Hnratio King of Washing
ton and Governor Chamberlain, respecting
the disposition made of a balance of $3.50 left
in the treasury of the Maine Soldiers Relief
Association on winding up its affairs. 1t ap-
pears that while Mr.. King, the Treasurer of
the Association, thought this balance should
be devoted to the purpose for which the fund
was raised, the executive committee thought
it proper to bestow portion of it,. as addi-
tional compression, upon Mr.. Leonard Watson,
the faithful and hard working agent the as
ISOLATION. There is at the first glance room
for difference Of opinion here. Mr.. Watson
so long as the war lasted, was poorly paid for
his labors at $500 year-if the pecuniary
equivalent were all. But the soldiers for
whose aid this provision was made were still
more poorly paid for far more exhausting la
bors, and a debt of gratitude is still due to
their families. Mr.. Watson's side of the case
cannot be considered alone He has made a
mistake in asking and mistake in accept
ing any portion of fund to which there were
prior and stronger claims than his. That he
had a claim which deserved consideration, it
would be wrong to dispute, but the people of
Maine will agree with Mr.. King and Govern
or Chamberlain that it could not rank with
the claims of the widows and orphans of our
soldiers

We learn by letter from Sebago that the
buildings of our esteemed citizen Oliver D.
Dyke Esq. with nearly all their contents were
destroyed by fire at about 2 o'clock on Satur-
day morning the 18th inst. The fire had made
such progress when it awoke the family that
they with difficulty escaped from the devour-

clothes and papers from his house, succeeded
in getting his cattle and horses from his barn
while nearly all his furniture, all his hay
grain and farming tools excepting moving
machine and pillow, all his harnesses and car
riages, excepting Que sleigh, his watch, COM
passes aud surveying implements were des-
troyed. Loss $1,000 to $4,000. Insurance

We understand Mr.. Dykes kind friends
and neighbors, who all sympathize with him
in his affliction, have already commenced to
help him erect other buildings. Friends in
need are friends indeed"
