HORSE FEArs ExTRAORDINARY.-Aliy lively
sensation was created in Middle street yester-
day forenoon by the extraordinary antics of a
horse belonging to Mr. Garland, who resides
in Cape Elizabeth. The horse in question
took fright on Union street, and ran into a
wagon, thereby detaching the fore wheels from
the country wagon to which he was harnessed,
and on arriving on Middle street, made bolt
for the window of the jewelry store of Mr..
Charles w. Wingate, smashing in large pane
OF glass, and caroming on another wagon
standing near, which he badly demolished
From thence he pursued his mad career down
the street and collidsd with buggy belonging
to Mr.. J. w. Robinson, completely demolish-
ing it and knocking one end of the buggy
through the large, front, plate-glass window
of the International Bank. Onward he sped
past lady on the sidewalk, who had narrow
escape, and igp psS viRhe h hi was hay
caught at the head of Market street,
1t was the most exciting horse-opera that has
been witnessed in this city for long while,
and would have done credit to first-class
circus. Luckily no one was injured, bat the
extent of the damage must have involved a
heavy pecuniary loss to the different parties
mentioned.

MR. EDfroBs-As all d iEitaalists--aEe-R adi~
icals, and some Radicals are Spiritualists, it
has been suggested by many that the Spirit
ualists, during their vacation of July and
August, had better make an effort to combine,
in spirit of accommodation, the leading fea-
lures of both; and that speakers of the very
first order of talent in these two divisions of
independent thinkers, should be employed to
address the audiences that may assemble on
the Sabbath in Congress Hall during the COM
ing autumn and winter.
The Radicals proper-and there are many
in this city and neighborhood--who sympa-
thize with the doctrines advanced by the
speakers before the Free Religious Associa-
ton of Boston, and advocated by their able
organ, The Radical, will be gratifed in listen
ing to the teachings Of such men as o. B.
rockingham, WATSON, Garrison, Phillips,
Higginson, Emerson, Robert D lle Owen and
others Allow me to recommend that the plan
suggested above, be the subject of discussion
at 8 P. M. next Sunday in Congress Hall; and
that all interested be requested to be present
and take part either in speaking or voting.

Eon's were the FIRST to win it in . Tournament
two years ago. They held it successfully
through the season till late in the Fall, when
the Bowdoins came here and won it from them.
They held it only a short time, however, as the
Pennesseewasse Club made them Visit and
carried it home with them, defeating the Bow
doins very badly. Last season the Andres
coggins went to Norway after it first, but were
not smart enough to win it, The Athletics, Of
this city, were the next to 90, and then the
Crescents, of saccarappa. but all met the same
fate, and came home with defeat written on
their banners. The Eons were the only club
they feared, and all looked to their contest with
great interest. They worked industriousy,
and in the latter part of July took the cars for
Oxford County. The game was the finest ever
played in Maine, and the Eons proved them
selves very powerful antagonists, defeating the
champions and winning the prize, which was
so much coveted by all the clubs, also by the

the next to come, and we Judge from the game
last Monday would have returned as the Cush-

They went home and claimed the prize, and
to prevent more trouble the Eons gave it in to
the Association, to be played for in a tourna-
ment. That tournament has been played, and

their friends are satisfied that the prize be.

now own it for good, and it will remain in Low

can see it.

they have the privilege of looking at it, but
must not handle, and perhaps the view would
be little more interesting if it could be placed

the distance can be seen the ocean, shining like
sea of silver in the moonlight, on which, and
Swallowed against the horizon, are the sails of

milk-white clouds overhead, glimpses Of the

MANY of the Democratic papers are dis
pleased because the officers of the Army OF the
Potomac elected Gen. Sheridan as President
oftheir association. They think that McClel-
Ian or Meade should have been selected in his
stead, and grow moist" over the failure Of the
soldiers to "put the right man in the right
place"
The fact is, that during the war the soldiers
never did do anything to please the Copper
heads, and now that the war is over, they are
not inclined to try. The survivors of the
"Grand Old Army are quite competent to
select their own officers and inasmuch as thew
have not taken counsel of the men who SOL
EMMY declared it as their opinion that the war
was failure; and manage their present affairs
without reference to the likes or dislikes of
this class of their fellow citizens, itmight be
well enough for Democratic organs to turn
their attention to other subjects.

THE NEW CARRIAGE REPOSITORY UNDER
THE PREBLE HoUsE.-It is hardly necessary
to "call attention" to the new carriage reposi-
tory, corner of Congress and Preble streets, for
it would seem that it has been for days the
centre of attraction on the street. It is visited
daily by hundreds of our citizens, and the pro-
prietors did most sagacious and fortunate
thing when they secured this place, the finest
by far ever opened In the State. Every kind
of private carriage known to the New England
market-and indeed to the trade of the coun-
try-can be had here, and of the most tasteful
style, as well as of the most durable make. We
take genuine pride and pleasure in referring
to these new tokens of the enlargement and
prosperity of the carriage business in Portland
and the peculiar enterprise brought to its
management. Among the sales yesterday at
this place was most elegant coupee, which
was purch ased by Gen. Shepley.
