NoD-HEAD APPLES. This delicious fruit is
raised 10 but four portions of the State, for the
reason, ob'bly, that it is not hardy winter
Ape. But though that may be the case it is
the choicest fruit raised here for fall and early
win er eating.
We believe the first fruit of this kind was
on the Jewett farm in Cornish, and all that is
raised elsewhere now originate from CRAFTS
from the Jewett orchard. The fruit raised in
the Jewett orchard appears fairer and larger
than that raised elsewhere.
We noticed yesterday thai Mr. Amos l..
Millett, at bis grocery store, No 1888 Congress
stree, was receiving lot of this fruit from the
Jrwett farm. 1t is the hlndsomest that has
been brought to the market, and those who
love good apples should secure some of them
in season.

The CONCERT To-NIGHr-We wish to inn
press upon our readers not to fail to attend the
concert given by the grand orchestra of Theo-
dore Thomas tonight. 1t is an opportunity
afforded to hear snch music as we have never
before heard in Portland, ard probably shall
not again for a long tine to come. We had
the rare good fortune to listen to this celebrat-
ed band of musicians in Boston last week, and
frankly confess We came away from the Music
Hall with the feeling that never before had we
known what wealth of expression and execu-
tion was contained in full orchestra. Think
what an impression must have been made upon
that audience OF some two thousand people
when not football, hardly the breathing of the
p rson next to you, could be heard, az each in
'dual bent forward to catch the faint pianis-
sinao notes, or listened entranced to the won.
-rlul combination of sounds. This effect is
often produced by some celebrated vocalist,
but rarely by an orchestra. Bach's music,
Mendelssohns, Schumann's, Strauss ,all seem
50 different when played by these fifty picked
musicians. The effect may be compared to the
m IN who, blind all his life, is restored to sic ht
and has all the beauties of nature and art re-
veal to his wondering and delighted gaze.
Let, then, every one who has any love for mu-
sic, be sure and attend tonight If necessary
strain a point in order to CO. If you have a
prior engagement get excused If 1T is ques.
ton of expense, stay at home from two or three
ordinary performances, or deny yourself some
little luxury you think you can't do without.
But whatever may stand in the way put it
ASIDE and attend this concert and our word
for it. YOU will never regret it.
We understand that arrangements have been
made for trains on the different railroads after
the coucert, and we suppose that Col Kicker,
with his usual attention, will look alter the
wants of those coming in from Westbrook.

This disposition to disburse accumulations
arising from their United States Stocks, &C.

proper. OF course a Bank must keep proper
reserve to provide for losses but beyond that,
the generous and true nolicy is, to let its pro-
prietors have the use of all beyond that 1t
circulates the money, and enables it to be
passed from hand to hand, in paying debts
and thus helping many.
The First National has been remarkably
successful in its business operations, ever since
its establishment. The first in this city, to
put on the National garb-when it was quite
an experiment to do so-its stockholders have
been fortunate in the patriotic step its Directors
took, at time when the government needed
the support Of all the loyal citizens. Its man

About an hour after their departure the officer
arrived, but finding the passengers gone, 1e-
turned to the city where he instituted legal
proceedings to secure the amount due and
costs, which were promptly paid by the cap
tain, who thinks that it is rather hard to be
obliged to suffer for the failure of public
officer to perform his duty promptly.
1t is certainly unreasonable to oblige pas
sengers arriving from foreign ports to wait an
unnecessary length of time for the appearance
OF an officer who should be prompt in the dis
charge of his official duties.

teen miles from Cadiz, and In Montaro bar
ricades had been constructed and fight
ing was going on between the govern
ment troops and the rcvolutionists, with some
loss 70 the latter. Cadiz was quiet. The dis
turbances arose from an attempt to enforce
the CONSUMPTION law Of the Cortes, the NOM

party, have agreed to sustain the government

The sa.abble for the spoIls.

The newsmen at Washington have but little
to report except the movements, expectations
and prospects of this man and that man, this
clique, that clique and the other, In the general
squabble for the spoils. General Grant, how
ever, holds them to the Tenure Of Office law,
with a few favored exceptions here and there,
and so this law returns to plague the inventor.
The hungry sposmen will doubtless be too
much for the Senate; but while waiting for the
grass to grow the horse starves. The New
York budget Of fat places and pickings is the
subject OF lively contest, involving half
dozen rings, cliques and coteries, and great Is
the prevailing excitement and uncertainty
among them all for they are all sore afraid
that General Grant has filed slate OF his
own, which will upersede every other slate
made up. Greeley is reported among the
ofice-seekcrs as Houndering about like a stur-
geon among the small fry, and Raymond is
represented among the faithful as a fish out Of
water. Dana, they say, sees that his splendid
castles In the clouds are vanishing, and the
free trade poets Of the Post cannot sing the
music Of Boutwell,, and 80 they remain for the
present in the background. But still the gen.
eral scramble goes on, and in the midst Of II
the President Is reduced to the position Of su-
periutendent of o national almshouse, sur
rounded by a still increasing swarm Of hungry
and thirsty followers, clamorous for their re-
wards
