Illustrations of Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress is
thus spoken of by the Salem Register THE
journey of a Christian from the City of Des-
tructon to the Celestial City, is graphically
portrayed by "a large paintings executed by
distinguished painters in the highest style of
art. But it is not simply for their artistic
merit we recommend these paintings 1t is
principally for the salutary moral effect,-illus.
tratng the struggle which must be made by
every one seeking for a higher life,-that we
consider this exhibition one of the finest ever
given. This exhibition is not sectarian in its
tendency but has received, as it deserves, the
commentator of Christians of all denomi ma
tions, and has frequently been recommended
by pastors, Sabbath-school superintendent,
and teachers OF the public schools; and in fact
by all classes looking for the improvement of
their fellow being"
The box Office will be opened tomorrow
when clergymen, superintendent of Sabbath
schools, and teachers in public schools, will be
supplied with complimentary tickets The
exhibition commences tomorrow night at
Deering Hail.

SOCIAL GATFERING.-A very pleasant party
of ladies and gentlemen, and including the
representatives of the press, sat down to a
very Internal but very social supper last
evening, to which they had been invited by
the politeness of Mrs. Butterfeld, who has
just opened tbs new boarding house on Free
street, over Kilborn & Co.'s carpet store, in
their elegant granite building. This boarding
house also occupies the two and half story
brick dwelling adjoining, and comprises some
thirty rooms finished off in the best of style,
elegantly carpeted and furn ished, and finely
frcscoed.
If the supper provided last evening is a
specimen OF the every day table of the estab-
lishment, We can only say that it has never
been our good fortune to sit dow n to an enter
tainment whore the viands were of better quail
ityor better cooked. twas a most sumptu-
Gus feast, and enlivened by the jest, story and
merry laugh, which add so much to the enjoy
ment of the occasion. We have not the slight
est doubt that Mrs. Butterfeld will have more
applicants for rooms than she can possibly ac-
commodate and that the house will become
celebrated as leading Portland institution.

THE ADVERTISER AND MIR. FosTER.--In the
history of journalism there never was a more
degraceful proceeding than that of the Port.
land Advertiser, in persistently misrepresent.
ing the views and purposes Of gentleman
whom death has taken from our midst Yes.
terday it gave place in its columns to com.
munication from G.. W. Randall, containing
statements that Mr.. Fosters family and all his
intimate associates know to be utterly without
foundation. There was never day when Mr.
Foster did not propose to support Hamlin fol
the Senatorship, in case of a controversy be-
tween that gentleman and Senator Morrill,
As editor of the paper OF which Mr.. Foster
was the proprietor, we should be very unlikely
to have wrong impressions as to his views on a
matter of so much Importance, and one which
has for some months engaged the attention Of
the public. The cause that requires its sup
porters to traduce the memory of the dead
must be both wicked and desperate one.

1t would be disaster to the whole world if
John Bright should be spoiled by the f1attery
of the Queen and the Princess Royal of Prus
STA. The stout old Quaker, it seems, was re-
ceived with the greatest suavity at court, and
many pleasant things were said to the man
who has recently declared that English insti-
tutions are "rotten" and doomed to ultimate
destruction. 1t is shrewd thing in royalty
to conciliate John, for he with his immense
constituency in both hemispheres is stronger
than the throne. But stranger things have
happened than it would be if Bright himself
were to be converted into courtier as was
William Penn if we may believe Macarlay.

the country. No one who has never witnessed
their performance should fail to be present aud

muscular strength that is being developed
among the members of this institu ion.

the State Fair. 1t is Mr.. K. s patent corrugat.
ed pattern, painted imperial green top and
dasher, running work fire white richly striped
with gold and carmine, trimmed with brown
silk velvet, and is rich and elegant in the ex.
treme. This sleigh was built by Mr.. K. ex.
pressly for DR.. o. Fitzgerald, of Dexter, Me
The Doctor is well known in all the eastern
part OF Maine as one of the best looking men
in the State, and we feel very sure be will have
by all odds, the finest turn out in the Pine Tree
State. -.-

CoRoNER's VERDIcT.-The jury in the case
of Frederic s. Blake. who met with death from
blow inflicted by stick of wood throw n
from the tender at the Kennebec Railroad sta
tion in this city on Friday last resumed its
investigation yesterday morning. George w.
Crawford, baggage master, testified that he
saw Hersey and Allen, two employees of the
company, come out of the engine house and
pass by the tender on the opposite side while
he was throwing wood over the tender in front
to supply passenger train, but did not see
Blake. Mr.. Hersey testified that he saw the
stick of wood strike Blake. DR. Foster made
the post mortem examination and testified that
the skull was fractured, the principal artery
severed, and a clot of blood collected opposite
the right ear, the latter fact being sufficient to
cause death. The jury returned verdict that
deceased came to his death in the manner
above described and recommended employees
to be more careful in wooding up.

CHARACTERISTIC STATEMENTS BY GEN
GRANT.-In a recent convention with U S
Senator and louisiana Judge General Grant
stcutly opposed request to have the Govern
ment endorse the Levee bonds. He said: Il
never knew the Government to become re-
sponsible for any amount that it did not ul.
mately have to pay. You now want an en-
dorsement of your bonds. If that is given
you will soon want Ito legislate for the pay
ment of the bonds"
But" said the Louisiana Judge, millions
of acres of the best land in the world are sub
ject to overflow" "Let them overflow and
stay under water" said Grant, until the own
ers are willing that northern men and north
ern capital should come in and protect and
improve them. Northern men with ample
capital are ready to make a garden of your
State, and you will not let them do it. Your
large landholders are hostile to the United
States to-day, as they have ever been, and il
that Government should rebuild their levees
it would not change them particle. know
no way the Government could have adopted
for rebuilding the levees but to have confiscat-
ed the lands of those engaged id rebellion and
used the proceeds to restore the country. As
that was not done nothing remains but to set
your negroes to work and invite and welcom e
Northern men,"
General" said the Judge, negroes won't
work" wont work ?" Grant quietly replied,
"They will work if you pay them"

AcCDENT.-Two young men (from the
country no doubt) driving up Exchange street
Saturday morning, attempted to drive across
the vacant lot above the Post Office, when all
at once, the horse seemed to be some distance
ahead of the sleigh, leaving one of the country
gents sitting upright in the vehicle whilst the
other was having his photograph taken in a
snow drift. Unloading their robes revealed
an empty bottle lying in the sleigh which evil.
IDENTIFY showed from subsequent action, that
the men were in too much haste to reach the
City Agency.
