WARD SEvEN.-Another enthusiastic meet
ing in this Ward last evening, attested the de-
termination of the Republicans there not to
be behind-hand in the great work now going
forward.
Owing to the fact of the uniforms not having
arrived as was expected, the West End Guards
did not as was intended, go out in body to
the meeting at Harmon's Hall, but large
number of the company, and other citizens,
formed a procession and marched out to the
Hall, where they had the pleasure of listening
to the Baltimore blacksmith

Grand Rally mt Libby. Corner.

A large and enthusiastic meeting was held
last evening at Harmon's new and beautiful
Hall, at Libbv's Corner. Mr.. j. w. Bear was
the orator of the evening, and was presented
to the people by Mr.. j. b. Hall, of the Mon-
tor Press Mr.. Bear commenced his remarks
as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen:-I am not in the
habit of making apologies, but my dress is not
what would have had if possible. 1 am a
plain man, and have not had the means of an
education, but have been a public speaker for
number of years, and am well acquainted
with the history of this country, and know
that the Democratic party must die. They
will be unable to carry State in the coming
election.
In the midst of Mr.. Bears remarks he was
interrupted by the music of the West End
Guard Upon arriving at the hall they gave
some hearty cheers.
MIR. Bear related a story that created much
merriment The purport of it was that the
Devil was once asked to write the history of
Democratic principles. when the Devil replied,
"You have got me now" One of the audience
asked him why Andrew johnson went over to
the Democratic party. The speaker then relat-
ed another story, and said that johnson Joined
the party to disgrace them, and God
knows that they were disgraced enough be-
fore. He observed that he came to Maine to
fight in the contest, and he would not dare to
go home if Horato Seymour is elected. In
short, the speech was plain, common sense
talk, and highly amusing.
The meeting closed with rousing cheers for
Grant, Colfax, the speaker and the ladies'.
AN UNAVOIDABLE PosTPoNEMENr of the
play oil "Tullia" was occasioned last evening
by the sudden illness of the stage manager
and leading actor, to the great disappointment
of hundreds of people. Tonight Miss Good

the announcement of the postponement.
large number of tickets for reserved seats TO-
night were sold. Miss Goodrich has claims
upon the public that will be acknowledged
all the more cheerfully on account of the dis
appointment of last evening, which was felt
by no one so keenly as herself.

A MAGNIFICENT PANrfNa-Mr. Thomas
Hills noble picture of the famous ''Yo Semitic
Valley" is now on exhibition at the gallery of
Messrs. McKenney and Davis, 2S4 Congress
street, opposite the Preble House; and we add
wise every one capable of approaching the
grand IN nature or the excellent in art to go
and see u. The 70 Semitic Valley, which lies
on the MERGED river in Mariposa county, Cal,
mas long been the wonder and admiration of
all travellers on the Pacific side This pic
ture represents one of the most striking scenes
in the valley. On the right of the SPECTATOR
IS the Bridal Veil Fall" which leaps down
descent OF nine hundred ieet, and above it the
Cathedral Rocks" rise like turrets three thou
SAND ieet above Continuing the view ON the
right is the Sentinel" of over three thou
sand two hundred feet in height, and the
Great South Dome" rounds through the air
at an elevation of six thousand feet. while in
the extreme distance the CLOUD Rest" with
its billowy mists, blends with the horizon. On
the left the granite cliff Gel Captain" goes
straight up, without shrub or tree, clear into
the clouds, three-fourtEs of mile in height
and from its base spreads out the long valley
Of the Yo Semitic, grove-clustered with the
MERGED river flowing cool and clear in the dis
lance, and bending over all the blue sky of a
summer morning, broken by a few white fieecy
clouds. The whole scene is one of almost I'M
| equaled beauty and majesty, and the truthful
| ness with which the artist has represented it
will be apparent even TO the eye uneducated
| in art. 1t is picture which will richly repay
| not only one but many visits. Indeed, once
! seated before the canvas the observer finds it
difficult to tear himself away. The longer he
| gazes the more beauties he discovers, the more
| wildly do the vast and titanic features of the
| scene impress themselves upon his mind.
We understand that arrangements have
been made for the reproduction of this paint
| ing by the Chrome photographic process by L.
| Prang & Co.. of Boston, and Messrs McKen-
ney & Davis are authorized to receive SUBJ
scriptions for limited number of artists
proofs We also learn with pleasure that this
enterprisng firm propose to place on exhibi-
| ton at their gallery succession of the famous
| works of the best artists, such as have not
| hitherto been exhibited here. Such a plan
will meet the approval of every person of taste
| in the community.
