VALUABLE PROPERTY FOR SALE.-By refer
ence to our advertising columns it will be seen
that some very choice building lots in the west
ern part of the city, in the immediate vicinity
of the residences of John B. Brown, Esq +,
George w. Woodman, Esq, and other first
class situations, are to be sold without reserve
at public auction, in about four weeks This
portion of the city is rapidly being built upon,
and the lots that are to be sold are among the
most desirable. The intention of the owners
of the valuable property, of which these lots
form portion, is to prevent the erection of any
buildings that would be Objectionable or tend
to injure the value of the property in the vi
cinity. For this reason these lots are to be
sold on the condition that first class dwelling
houses only shall be erected thereon. The eff
feet of these restrictions in all other cities is to
make such locality much more attractive and
desirable for residences and homes, than that
of lands sold in the ordinary way The loca-
ton OF these lots, and the favorable terms upon
which they are to be sold must prove an in
ducement to purchasers.

How the Steamship s'New Yorko Out
rode lhe Gale.


Capt. Chisholm, of the International steam
ship New York, left Eastport the afternoon of
the great gale, at about the usual time. 1t
was so foggy that the inside passage was not
possible, and the boat was put boldly to sea on
her course to this port. The whole force of the
tornado fell upon her, and for twenty four
hours she struggled with the sea, stirred by
the fiercest gale that has been known in the
Gulf of Maine for twenty years.
The steamer was crowded with passengers
an unusual number of them being women and
children. The rolling and pitching of the YES
sci was fearful. Everything movable tossed
about, and passengers could hardly hold them
selves in their berths. Sea-sickness was al
strange malady produces, the sick were COM
paratively Indifferent to their fate.
Thanks to kind Providence, the stanch
ship outrode the gale, and at half past two the
weary passengers were brought to their de-
sired haven.
The International line of boats has now been
running twenty years, through fogs and snow
squalls and storms, in summer and in winter,
in the day and in the night, along this rough
and rocky coast of Maine, and in all this time
not life has been lost by peril of the sea-
The millions that have travelled by this route
in perfect safety owe an inestimable debt of
gratitude to the admirable and liberal manage
ment of the company, to the skill and knowl-
edge OF the pilots and to the good Judgment
as well as eminent courtesy and kindness that
have distinguished the captains of this success
full line OF boats. May their prosperity long

MCCLELLAN WINS AFTER FIVE-HEATs-
A match was made Saturday morning of

LIST Heat-McClellan had the pole but
broke at the start, and was not caught down
until he had passed ever nearly two-thirds of
the first quarter. He then caught the mare,
when she left her legs, but was caught down
and from there home she did not make
skip. Mcclellan rallied on the home stretch
and come in IL length ahead. The heat
was given to Empress, Mcclellan being set
back for running. Time 2:36.
Second Heat-After scoring twice they
got the word "go." Empress" took the lead
sorey pressed by mcclellan" who at the
commencement of the second quarter came
up, and for several rods it was neck and neck,
but he left his feet and was not caught down

the word, Empress having the pole. They
tIotted well to the first turn when Mcclellan
took the pole, avoiding the mare little. The
trot was then steady until they reached thu
first quarter when Empress lost her legs but
was caught down and Tapped him out on this
turn. At the commencement of the second
half Mcclellan was ahead and kept the lead
with Empress's nose close to his driver. On
the last turn Empress made good squirt and
both came down the home stretch squarely
Mcclellan winning the heat in 2.36.
4th Heat This time they got good start,
Mcclellan having the pole and keeping it.
Empress was close on to him and the first
half was neck and neck, but it was evident
that Mcclellan was not doing nis best They
passed the wire on to the second half nearly
together, Mcclellan trife ahead. The sec
ond half both trotted squarely and at no time
was there a length between them, Empress
tapping him most of the time Mcclellan
lost his legs ON the last turn, but was quickly
caught down, when he came in one-half a
length ahead, winning the heat in 2.41.
5th Hedt.-The word was given on the first
score, Empress taking the pole on the first
turn and came square down to the work. 1t
now became evident that Mcclellan was get
ting the worst of it, for he broke badly aud
lost ground. Empress now made squirt gain
ing a length which she had until on the last
quarter when Mcclellan closed upon her and
Empress came in two lengths ahead, winning
the heat in 2.43 and the race.

Inc nomination of Thomas E. Twitchell.
renewal Bonney, Henry H. Burgess and Josh
VA aterhouse for Representatives to the Leg
isiature is calculated to give strength and unity
10 the support Of the Republican ticket IN this
city. All the nominees are absolutely unob-
Iectionabe so far as we know to the Republi-
cans of Portland All are men of ability, dis
tinguished for their integrity the purity of their
private lives and for their public spirit. Mr.
Twitchell has already served one term in the
Legislature and it is universally conceded that
he not only rendered valuable service to his
constituents but that his conscientious devo-
ton to the duties of his position gave him great
inf aence in matters of general legislation. MIR.
Twitchell will be one of the leading members
of the next House. Mr. Bonney is a young
man who has hitherto occupied himself chiefly
with the duties of his profession, giving atten-
ton to politics and public affairs only inciden-
tally. The success that has attended him as
an attorney and the gratifying position he has
attained during the few years he has been
among us make it entirely certain that he will
speedily become prominent among his asso-
ciates in the new field of action to which he
will be assigned. He is a man of liberal Gull
ture, who is almost exceptionally free from
popular vices, and who possesses an extraor-
binary fund of general and political inorma-
ton. He must certainly receive the full Re
publican vote of the city. Mr.. Burgess is a
successful business man and manufacturer,
who has had considerable experience as the in
cumbent of local offices. As member of the
City Council he has been faithful and active
Mr.. Waterhouse is one OF our best known bus
mess men, who has now retired from active
participation in mercantile affairs. He pos
sesses peculiar qualifications for the intelligent
care OF the interests of the city in the decision
of questions that will come before the Legisla-
ture this winter. The ticket is strong one,
and deserves and will receive a hearty support

POLITICAL EXCITEMENT IN PHILADELpH

POLITICAL EXCITEMENT IN PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12.-Considerable COM
motion has been caused in the Democratic
party here by the resignation of S. G. Fry,
their candidate for Treasurer A meeting of
the various candidates was he'd yesterday, at
which it was determined that all should resign
and take measures to form new ticket A
crowd of outsiders, however, attended the
meeting and insisted on nominating ticket
which is said to be more Objectionable to the
party than the present one, and the meeting
broke up, the understanding being that none
of the candidates should withdraw unless all
did together. A card, however, appears to-day
from Mr.. Fry Withdrawing and advising the
other candidates to do so. Another meeting of
unknown.
