The efforts of communists to give practical
effect to their views have failed SO many times
that many persons suppose that. there are no
longer people in the world who cling to the
idea of holding property in common. In the
West, however, there are several communities
that are prospecting. Unlike the societies of
freslovers at Wallingford, Conn, and Oneida
Creek, N, Y, they preserve the marriage rela-
ton with as much strictness as the rest of the
world. A new society called the Reunion
Community" is now in operation at Miners
vile, Jasper County Missouri, The number
OF members is twenty and they cultivate 100
acres of land. At Queen City, Iowa, the
"Icarian Community established in 1854, has
60 members and 100 acres of land. The latter
community is composed of French people. .

STABBING AFTAIR.-Between and 7 o. clock
last evening an affray occurred at the foot of
Centre street, in which Mr.. William Lally. re-
siding in Dolan's block was dangerously stab
bed. The particulars, as far as we could gath
er them from witnesses of the ARRAY, are as
follows:
1t appears that fight was going on between
two Irishmen, when Lally interfered and en-
deavored to stop it, when he was set upon by
Michael O'Donnell one of whose brothers was
engaged in the fight. O'Donnsll saws Lally
struck him, when he pulled out his iack.knife
to defend himself, Lally being much the heay-
lest man. He stabbed Lally in three places;
one in the back just below the ribs, in the re-
gion of the spine, infcting wound three in
ehes deep; one in the aeshy part, lower down,
two inches deep, and one in the cheek, sever
ing the facial artery. DR., French was called,
who sewed up the wounds and attended to the
man. He could not decide then as to their
danger, but thought they would not prove ia
tai.
nell. He was brought into the presence of
Lally, who charged him with being the one
who inflicted the wounds. O'Donnell was
taken to the lookup for examination. Subse-
quently the officers arrested boy named
Chambers. who, it is said, struck Lally in the
face with brick while he was engaged in the
contest with O'Donnell.

HUMBUGaED,

IT is o common remark that the people like
to be
HUMBUGGED,
but for the honor of our species we have been
slow to adopt this humiliating theory and
when we see such crowds OF customers, who
having been induced by snowy placards, music,
banners &c., to crafty their curiosity 80 far as
to go and look for themselves, but who return
to the well known cheap store of Leach & Par
ker, No. Deering block, to do their purchas-
ing we are convinced that such remark is not
applicable to the ladies of Portland. 1t is up
hill work for strangers to compete with them
for the honor of selling goods the cheapest.
Look at their goods and prices and see the
crowds who visit their store daily. mch1S-3t
LIZ the ladies but knew what thousands of
them are constantly relating to us, we candid
ly believe one halt of the weakness, prostra-
tion and distress experienced by them would
vanish. James Marsh, Esq, 159 West 18th
street, New York, says she has three children
the flrst two are weak and puny, his wife hav-
ng been unable to nurse or attend them, but
she has taken Plantation Bitters for the last
two years, and has child now eighteen months
old which she has nursed and reared herself.
and both are hearty, saucy and well. The ar
ticle is Invaluable to mothers" Sc.
such evidence might be continued for a vol
ume. The best evidence is to try them. They
speak for themselves. Persons of sedentary
habits troubled with weakness, lassitude, pal
pitation Of the heart, lack of appetite, distress
after eating, torpid liver, constipation, diabe-
ties, &c., will find speedy relief through these
bitters.

The POLICE SWEET yesterday assumed
the duties of City Marshal, to which office he
was appointed last week. That he will prove
a faithful and efficient officer we cannot doubt.
Mr.. Head, who retires, has held the Office for
six years, and, so far as our knowledge extends,
has performed the laborious duties of his place
to the satisfaction of the public. He has been
faithful and efficient, and the encomiums be-
slowed upon him by Mayor Putnam when he
nominated his successor, were Justly deserved.
The Deputy Marshals will probably go out on
Monday next. Mr.. Wentworth has been
deputy during the whole of Mr. Heads term,
and Mr.. Irish for the past four years More
faithful off GERS the city never had. They have
been indefatigabls in their exertions to detect
offenders of the law and to recover stolen prop
srty. Through the vigilance of Marshal
Head and Deputies Wentworth and Irish, a
vast amount of property stolen at the great
fire in 1866 was recovered and restored to the
owners. The new Deputies, Messrs Bolton
and Perry, will find it hard work to fill the
places vacated by Messrs. Wentworth and
Irish. But they are men of pluck, and we be-
lieve they will do all in their power to main
tain the credit of the police department.
