Lewiston people have such an ineorrigble
taste for poor liquor that the Journal has
found it necessary to revive for their benefit,
the story of the sale of some rum in which a
human body bad been preserved, which was
first printed some fifteen or more yeara ago.
Daily Advertiser.
The Advertiser, as the leading "intemper-
ance journal" of the State has found it neces-
sary to sneer at everything that tends to cast
disoredit and reproach upon its theories. The
fact about the story alluded to is this. Sew.
eral weeks ago correspondent Of the Pres,
writing from New Hampshire, spoke of the
fact of liquor being sold here in which bu-
man body had been preserved as one within
his own knowledge. The fact that a similar
circumstance happened ten or fifteen years ago
is not at all wonderful.

LEWISTON. Ian On 100,

To the Editor Of the Press;
The Supreme Judicial Court for this county
commenced its January term yesterday, Judge
Barrows presiding. The prospect is good for
fair amount of business; this county, however,
is much the poorest of any in the State for
lawyers. The continued docket shows 1854
cases; the continued criminal docket 6S cases.
GOLD MINE.
Several months ago it was stated in the pa
pers that gold had beeu discovered on the
farm of William Vosmus in Auburn. Moth

though somewhat has been done. The farm
has passed into the hands of company whose
members are A. Williams, of Embden, 81. M.

IT surprises no enc that the Pennsylvania
protectionists attack the report of Mr.. Wells,
the Special Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue.. Mr.. Wells having no axes to grind, no
"interests" to protect, no Office to seek, and in
short nothing but facts figures and brains, is in
danger of displeasing everybody. Meanwhile
the protectionists have their revenges and
their triumphs. Their copper tariff bill has
marched VIGOROUSLY through the Senate, not
withstandng the clouds that seemed to lower
about it at one time, but thank heaven Maine
can claim one of the few Senators that voted
against it.

He HAS FITs.-A Ne,o Dodge-A man has
been, and for aught we know, is now going
about town begging for money, which he OBJ
tains under false pretences. He visits the first
families and tells the ladies most piteous and
heart-moving tales. If any one shows a re.
luctance to give him aims, or unnecessasii,, de-
lays to bestow their charity upon him, he says
in very tremulous voice-"I'm terribly sub
ject to fits, and feel as if should have one
soon." The lady, to get rid of him, gives him
some money and away he goes to another
house. Sometimes he says he is sent by par
tcular friend of the lady on whom he calls,
but how he should know names so we'll and
how and where to use them is great mystery.
1t is well for our citizens to be on the look out
for him, and when he calls drive him away,
and If he still fingers as he always does, never
taking no for an answer, it will be best to
give him fits" in good earnest. He is cum
ming imposter, and has collected quite sum
Of money already.

THE POPULAR CAUsE.-How entirely the
regulation of the civil service is the cause of
the people against their servants is seen in
the fact that the author of the bill on that SUBJ
ject now before Congress has ceased to labor
with his associates at Washington, who are
moved to oppose it by the too easily convinc-
ing oratory of Logan, and has taken the lyce-
UNI platform for the PRONUNCIATION of his views.

The WHALE FISHERY OF 1868.-The New
Bedford Mercury gives succinct account of
the whaling business for the year 1868. The
number Of vessels from the Atlantic ports en-
gagged in the fishery January LIST, 1869, is 22O
ships and barks, % briggs and 81 schooners, with
1906 tonnage, showing an increase OF only
one vessel as compared with last year, but a
falling off of ,489 tons, of which 1878 tons grow
out of measurements by the new system, to
which we add vessels from the port of San
Francisco, with / ,414 tonnage, making a total
number Of vessels from the United States jan
uary l, 1869, 1856, with tonnage OF '4'oi'' '0e
within 70 tons of that of 1865
The usual number of whalers nave ie.urneu
during the year, generally Win SATISFACTORY
catches. and quite as favorable results as anti
clnated, the price of sperm oil ruling steady
during the year, while in whale, a generally
advancing market was maintained; and in
September, owing to news from the fleet as
late as the middle OF August, announcing a
failure up to that date, holders of the small
stock then on hand, IT 500 bbls., demanded
Sis per gal. and upwards. Whalebone was
similarly affected, selling in the summer at So
cts per h. currency, and advancing to, 81 AZ 1-2
with sales, and held at still higher prices. A
month later, however, more favorable news was
received, and nearly all of the ships in the
Arctic did WELL many making extraordinary
cuts. In one instance, the barque John How
fand, taking 1000 barrels of oil in four daysin
in the latter part of September, and many 9TH
er vessels an average of 1000 bbls. in thirty
days, the largest catches being the ships Rein
deer, $50 bbls., aud the Florida, LOO bbls.
THE AMERICAN YEAR BooK.-Under this
title, Messrs. o. D. Case & Co., of Hartford,
Ct propose to publish next month the initial
volume of an annual National Register, the
design of which is to bring together each year
in convenient form, the latest astronomical
historical, political, financial, commercial and
general intelligence connected with the United
States and foreign countries. We have before
us advance sheets of the volume for 1869,
which will contain general view of the
United States, including every department of
the national and state governments, together
with bliet account of foreign states; en-
bracing educational, religious and industrial
statistics, facts relating to public institutions
and societies, miscellaneous essays, important
events, obituaries, etc. 1t will furnish great
amount and variety of information, exhibiting
the growth and present condition of our own
country and of the world, which merchants,
lawyers, statesmen, farmers, clergymen, teach
ers, physicians, politicians, importers, and
manufacturers-all classes in every profession
or calling-will find interesting and valuable.
Should its success be commensurate with its
merits the american Year Book must become
a permanent institution. The work will be
sold by travelling agents, and those desiring
to secure agencies, should apply to or address

PORTLAND & RUTLAND RAILROAD Co-The
Committee of the Corporators of the Portland
& Rutland Railroad Company are requested
to meet at the Office of John A. Poor, ESQ,
No. II Exchange, on this Thursday morning,
Jan. 2st, 1869, at II o'clock. A full and prompt
attendance is requested, as business of impor-
lance is to come before the meeting. A depu-
tation from the New Hampshire Central Rail-
road Company will be present.
1T is seldom that we use the columns of this
paper to puff" or notice the Thousand and
one" articles known as Patent Medicines. We,
however, vary from our rule in the present
case. that we may call attention to the article
known as IS. T.-1S60-X., Plantation Bit
ters." We desire it understood that we do so
without any solicitation or promise of benefit
from the proprietor or other interested parties.
We simply do it as an &C of duty towards
those who are laboring under physical disabil
ty, weakness, and the various complaints aris-
ing from impurities of the blood. Having
used the Bitters at the instigaton of friend,
(and; we confess, with some misgyngs at the
outset) we found them a most valuable medi-
cal compound, and to our great satisfaction,
accomplished the object for which they were
used.

MUSICIANS ARE BENEvoLENT.-And why
not? The art and science of music not only
gives strength to the intellectual powers, but
also refnes the heart. What the mental and
moral condition of a man is who "has not mu-
sic in his soul, " has been admirably described
by Shakespeare. And the description given
centuries ago by the immortal bard is as true
to-day as it was then. The members of the
portland Musical Association"-a name re-
Gently adopted-propose to give concert next
Monday evening at Congress Hall for the ben
eft of Mr.. Wheelock who is sick and a
stranger in far off land. He is now in As
pinwall Frustrated by sickness and destitute
of funds to meet his pressing necessities. Mr..
Wheelock has long resided in our city and is
well known to our citizens. His voice in our
churches has been heard many years and given
pleasure to thousands. His musical friends
here are disposed to give concert for his ben
eft, and they will make their appeal to our
citizens through the charms of music. The
music selected for the occasion is "Haydhs
Third Mass" composition which has claims
to higher feeling than the Grand Duchess or
anything from the teeming brain of Often
bach. This Mass will be rendered in fine
style by this Association, and our citizens will
have musical entertainment of high and
classical order. We trust and believe Con-
gress Hall will be crowded on the occasion.
Further notices will be given of this entertain
ment.
