COMING SOUTH.

A New England paper says: 1--WE
learn that in many of our cities organi-
cations of colonies are being formed
with view of exploring the Southern
States, and of establishing at suitable To-
calties the nucleus Of manufacturing
towns and cities. These combinations
among artisans of different callings is
much more sensible mode Of improving
their condition than trades unions to CO.
cree higher wages. Tho contributions
required to support strikes, if applied to
sending delegates to spy out the fertile
fields and inviting opportunities await
ing their embrace would enable many
families, now struggling for existence in
crowded North, to become independent
in few years in The sunny South,
where now there is no class so welcome
as the manufacturer and the skilled la
uorcr.

company had been formed among
them for the purpose of colonizing por-

not the case, we are told each family

have relinquished the possession of con-
siderable land and comfortable homes in
many eases, by far more comfortable
than they will be likely to find in the
wilds of Texas, and with families EN-
bracing the old and feeble and tender,
are seeking new fortunes in a strange

The Bangor Whg says Mr.. j. s. Griffin of
Levant, relates queer freak of two sheep in
his possession. On the 10th of March each
sheen had lamb and each claimed both, un-
til the 25th, when one dropped twins, and then
disowned her first lamb The other sheep
took the first lamb and takes care of it as she
does her own. The lambs are all smart.
We learn from the Whig that Mr.. John W
Pope, of Brewer, was seriously injured Mou-
day, by falling from ladder, distance of fit-
teen feet, and striking on stone doorstep
His side was badly injured, and it is feared
that his skull is slightly fractured.
WALDO COUNTY
Laura V. Ellis has been amusing the people
of Belfast with tricks or manifestations" as
she styles them The Bangor Whig SAYS there
was considerable suspicion that there was
more humbug about the business than the per-
formers were willing to acknowledge, and con-
sequently. they were subjected to close scru-
tiny, among others by Captain Charles Ba-
ker, who, by paying Mr.. Ellis twenty-five dol
lars obtained permission to open the cabinet at
any time he chose, and by so doing, as he
states, discovered Miss Ellis making the music
with her own hands. This was on Thursday
evening, and on Saturday evening another ex-
hibltion was gwen at McClintock's Hall, and
on that occasion Capt. Baker offered Mr.. Ellis
five dollars to allow him the use of the cabinet
after the close of the performance believing
that he could perform, unaided, all that Miss
Ellis had done. This Mr.. Ellis declined to do
when Mr.. Pierce offered the use of his hail.
and, followed by some two hundred. and fifty
of the audience, Capt Baker went up there,
and extemporising Cabinet had the same
committee which bound Miss Ellis bind him
in the same manner precisely, and, while
bound performed just the same tricks that
Miss Ellis performed. Satisfied that the
whole thing was humbug, quite a number
repaired to the hotel where Mr. Ellis and his
daughter were stopping, and said they thought
the least he could do was to return Capt
Baker his twenty-five dollars, which he did.

PORTLAND March 30, 1869.
Mr.. EDrToR:-While travelling east the past
week, it was my good fortune to listen while in
Bath to Floral Concert" conducted by
Prof G.. w. Gardner, of Portland.
The programme was made up of pleasing
variety of solos, Duets quartetts and choruses
of first class music. 1t is surprising to your
correspondent, when children can be trained to
sing such music, that the people are so slow to
appreciate an effort to teach them. Why can
not the cities of Maine support musician who
shall attend solely to this business Other cit
les have taken this course. A person of talent
and taste should fill such an office, and Port
land has such man in Mr.. Gardner, the gen.
tleman before referred to as conducting the
"Floral Concert ;" at Bath.
1t has been my pleasure to listen to the best
English and Italian tenors in this country; yet
never heard ballad sung in better voice or
stTle than "GEaham's FAREWELL by Mr.. Gard
ner, last Thursday avening.
You will excuse me, Mr.. Editor but the cit
les of Maine are more deficient in juvenile
singing than almost any where else in the Unit
ed States. have been surprised in visiting
your Sabbath schools to see how few of the
children sing and how poorly the time and
tune are kept by those who attempt to do so.
And now let a stranger suggest that among
the attractions of your beautiful city, you add
that elevating art the training your children in
vocal music. A TRAVELLER.

June. Two candidates are mentioned thus
far-General s. r. Hersey of Bangor and the
Hon: Ebenezer Knowlton OF Montville. Cen
eral Hersey will receive the hearty and cordial
support OF the great eastern portion of the
Ssa1e IN convention. He is wealthy lumber
dealer, has had a good deal of experience in
the Legislature, and is liberal and large-heart-
ed gentleman. Mr. Knowlton was formerly a
Free Baptist clergyman, and has served one
Term IN Congress from the third district of
Maine under the old appointment. He has
oeen LOT years consistent and jealous advo-
cate of temperance, and in convention will be
likely to receive the support of the so-called
temperance wing of the party. Other candi-
dates will appear in due time

THE FIRE YESTERDAY MORNING. Mrs Stat
ford, who owned and occupied the store in
which the fire originated, is of opinion that it
was the work of an incendiary for the purpose
of robbery, as she had watches and je%elry in
her stock to a considerable amount There
had been no fire in her premises, and she was
absent when the fire broke out. The buildings
that were damaged were occupied by nine
families, three of whom lost nearly all their
effects. The upper part of the block was about
ruined, and a small building adjoining, also
owned by Mr. s. was damaged to the amount
of $500. She estimates her loss on the stock
at $4,000, on which there was insurance for
$4,000; and on the buildings and furniture at
from $4,000 to $3OOO ON which there was insur-
ance on the buildings for $25OO and on the fur
niture and piano for 5000.

AwANDERER RETURNED
The case of Mr.. Boad, who left this place
very mysteriously last summer, has cleared up
somewhat. 1t was rumored, as stated in your
columns at the time, that he had gone off with
another's wife. There appears to be no clear
evidence that such is the case. He did not
leave town by the same boat, although she
disappeared the same week. Mr. B. has re-
turned to his family and, while his explana-
tions are not yet made public, the better part
of the people seem inclined to accept the legal
maxim and believe in the party's innocence,
till he is proved guilty. DENNET

HIGH STREET CHURcH.-At a meeting of
the parish, held at the rooms of the Young
Mems Christian Association, corner Brown
and Congress streets, on Monday evening, the
committee on estimates reported plan of a
new church designed by Mr.. Newcomb, the
well-known architect which would be very
handsome and convenient building having
two towers on the front Zone on the right and
the other on the left), and one tower to be sur
mounted with spire 240 feet in height The
report OF the committee was accepted. A dis
cussion then ensued as to whether that report
should be adopted, there being good deal to
be said in favor of and against the project.
Letters were read from Hon. John b. Brown,
and his son, Philip Fl. Brown, Esq, now in
Rome, strongly favoring thorough remodel
ing of the house. Several resolutions were
passed, among which was one that none but
pew-owners, or regularly recorded proxy for
apew-owner, should have right to vote at
these meetings. The meeting finally passed a
resolution that st is deemed advisable to sell
the church property on High street and the
land connected Herewith, and that steps be
taken to carry out this resolution The meet
ing then adjourned to next Friday evening at
same place.

THE WEATHER. About seven o'clock on
Monday evening, the storm that had been gath
ering since noon, broke upon us with heavy
down-pour of rain and high wind, which
continued till noon yesterday, when it subsid-
ed into steady drizzle. The wind all day
Monday was from the northeast, and it was
very raw and damp, but shifted to the east
yesterday afternoon. The roads in the Duck
Pond region at Westbrook were in bad con-
dition, and in some places the horse-car track
was quilted, and in one spot submerged. At
the Cape the travelling was not SO bad, but
owing to the high wind and the quarter from
which it blew, the display of the breakers at
Portland Light was perfectly magnificent, and
would have delighted marine artist They
broke upon the coast with tremendous roar
and throwing their clouds of spray and
foam to height of some forty or fifty feet
We have not heard of any marine disasters of
consequence. In the city the tides were very
high and nearly submerged some of the

against the assaults of the Post and CONNER
ciaT Advertiser and other papers. Tt says that
the testimony charging Fenton with having
received $4,000 for signing the Erie Railroad
bill is contradcted by Jay Gould who is
charged with paying it and by Hamilton Har-
ris who is charged with having received it for
the Governor. The Tribune reviews the
course of the Post in opposing the Republican
party in the interest of free trade, and alleges
that its assaults upon Fenton are part of the
