THE EoN's VISIT TO BOSTON. Our club did
not win imperishable honors Thursday in their
game with the Lowelps, but were beaten 35 to
II, in five innings, the game closing then on
account Of the necessity Of the Eons to take
the night boat. Abbott's catching was COM
plimented on all hands, but in other regards
there was hardly anything notable in the game
on either side. Mean time the hveliest inter
est is felt as to the approaching tournament
here, when the Eons will not fail to appear at q
much better advantage than they could possibly
expect to do with their Boston opponents, who
make -balling calling.

yer platter, residing at No. 13 Prospect street,
while engaged yesterday, at the islands, sho,t-
ing, received serious injury from the ari-
dental discharge of his gun.
The charge took effect in the left side of his

side. He was Immediately brought to the city

fearfully lacerated by the wound. Several
blood vessels were torn, and his appearance

last evening thought the chances were in favor
of his recovery, though the extent of deformity
in the face win be very great.

The HIGH ScHooL.-The examination Of
classes at the High School will begin at nine
o'clock on the morning of the 18th inst in
stead of at eight as stated by US yesterday
The graduating class numbers sixty -four msm-
| bers, and is believed to be the largest ever
graduated from high school in New Engllnd.
A class nearly as large graduated at Lowell,
last year, but the course there is three years
instead of four. The pride of Portland in its
High School is far from irrational INDEED,
one who visits it and examines its workings
personally, goes away with the impression hat,
high as it stands in popular favor, it hasnot
been fully appreciated. To the visitor, the
manner in which Mr.. Stone and his corp of
able assistants have systematized the conpli-
Gated regulations incident to the instruction of
so large and apparently cumberous body of
pupils seems beyond all praise. OF the excl
lence of the methods of instruction adopted in
school, the ripe scholarship of such ofits grad
yates as have improved with any fidelity the
advantages IL offers, is ample proof In Ehe
recitation rooms one may hear as elegant snd
accurate rendering of an ode of Horace and as
satisfactory demonstration of theoreu Of
Euclid as in the class rooms of our COLLEGES.
But of all these things the public will havean
opportunity to form an Intelligent opinion
at the forthcoming examination. The High
School needs no "puffpg;" it is known ofits

THE NATIONAL HoLIDAY.-The ninety third
anniversary Of our national holiday will be
appropriately observed in this city, and, from
the arrangements that have been made by the
committee of the city government, there is ev-
cry reason to believe that the celebration of the
day in Portland will be more generally partici-
pated in by the citizens, and the inhabitants of
the towns and villages in the vicinity, than any
year since 1866, when we were visited by one
of she most destructive confagrations ever re-
| corded in history. The programme for the day
| appeals to the different tastes of all, and we
think that, with the means placed at their
command, the committee have laid out their
money very judiciously.
The parade of Company @ will no doubt be
worthy of the efforts of the gentlemen who
have been engaged in getting it up, and will be
a capital burlesque on the leading events Of
the period. The programme and route of the
company will be found in another place.
| There will be the usual ringing of the bells
the firing of salules and the decoration of the
public and private buildings; and in addition
to these rowing regatta, base ball match, fo-
raj concert, sailing regatta, military parade
and music by the bands and fireworks in the
evening, the particulars of all of which will be
found on our third page.
We should not forget the races at Forest City
Park at o'clock p. M, the programme Of
which will be found in our amusement col
umn, or the fair and festival of the Payson
Memorial Church, with all its manifold at.
fractions, at City Hall, throughout the day
and evening.
Peace, with all her attendant blessings, may
be said to have at last overspread us with hel
broad white wings, and there is every reason
that on this A. D. 1869 all should uLite as in
the days before the rebellion, in an earnest
heartfelt and general jubilee.

EXTRACT from private letter from Hawaii,
Sandwich Islands. Although
the eruption is not SO violent now, the volcano
is a fearful sight to behold. The rivers of lava
still flow, and the smoke from the crater as
cends in awful majesty. During this volcanic
upheaval it has been very sickly here. A pc
culiar sort of low malarious fever, which has
grown out of the foul, condensed vapors of the
volcano, has prevailed to an alarming extent,
and at one time it was feared it would depopu-
late the island. But fortunately, a sea captain
calling here for supplies) distributed Planta-
ton Bitters to the suffering, and quick and
thorough cures were the result The news
spread like wild-fire. Messrs. Ching g-Takin &
Co., Commission Merchants, had these Bitters
for sale. In a short time their Office was be-
sieged and their supply exhausted. A steam
er was dispatched to San Francisco by order
Of the Hospital Department, and new and
enormous supply obtained as soon as possible.
From that moment the scourge was stayed.
Not another fatal case occurred and the cpl
demic has now entirely disappeared. Is
this wonderful remedy known in your city? ]
hope so, for it is sure cure for all feyers and
miasnatic sickness. You may tell your friends
so for me, H. M c.
