SIP ECIAL NOTICES.


AN ELEGANT TURNoUT.-We saw at the
factory of Mr. @. P. Kimball, yesterday, the
most elegant single sleigh il was ever our good
fortune to examine. We think it even excels
in beauty the famous sleigh Mr.. K. exhibited
at the State Fair. 1t is Mr.. KS patent cor
rugated pattern, painted imperial green top
and dasber, running work fine white richly
striped with gold and carmine, trimmed with
brown silk velvet, and is rich and elegant in
the extleme. This sleigh was built by Mr.. K.
expressly for DR.. o. Fitzgerald, of Dexter, Me.
The Doctor is well known in all tie eastern
part of Maine as one of the best looking men
in the State, and we feel very sure lie will
have by all odds, the finest turn out in the
Pine Tree State.-Portland Press, Jan. 9.
To this beautiful sleigh that cost four hum
dred dollars, the Doctor has hitched one of
the most splendid horses in the country, with
gold mounted harness to match, making the
team cost in round numbers nearly two
thousand dollars. But the Doctors wonderful
success fully warrants the outlay. He is one
of the most skllllul men in the country, and
is daily performing miraculous cures of the
most terrible diseases that no man can &C.
count lor All afflicted will do well to consult
him at Merchants Exchange, Dexter, Maine.

A correspondent of the New York Sun tells
a strange story to the effect that a son of the
late Mrs. Sigourney OF Hartford, who was re-
ported drowned in East River, N. Y. in 1857,
is alive and served in the army during the
war. BE is Mrs. Sigourneys legitimate son,
for whom another was substituted in some
mysterious and unexplained way in infancy.

The Richmond Journal says that the feeling

The House committee on Territories are con-
sidering the proposition to reducethe number of
our Territories and blot Utah out of existence,
and the indications are that it will be favora-
bly, reported. They propose to divide Daco-
tab between Nebraska and Minnesota, while
Nebraska is to be divided between Wyoming,
Colorado, Nevada and Idaho. The object of
this scheme seems to be to solve the Mormon
problem BY indirection. The same question
was discussed in the committee of elections
last summer on contested seat case but of
course no action could be taken then. lu .-s

The DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.-The Demo-
Gratis of the Legislature hold their caucus for

to-day This is what may be called work of
supererogaton. But the % Democratic men,
bers are charged with the responsible duty of
Keeping up the party organization. They will
doubtless desire to nominate Pills5ury, who
has such held on the popular Democratic
heart, but we suggest that for once they rise
above the claims of mere party, and nominate
Mr.. Farwell of Augusta, who, though not here
tofore identified with the Democracy, is now
doing everything in his power to give it aid

TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY "A contem-
porary newspaper, published in Portland, and,
judging from unmistakable internal evidence.
edited in Augusta and Norway, proposes in
behalf of the Morrill, men to take the respon-
sibility of breaking up the Republican party
This is not strange, for its conservatism has
long been of SO pronounced character as to
leave but an attenuated thread of sympathy to
connect 1t with that organization. Controlled
by foreigners, devoted to foreign interests, for
eign in its synpathies, foreign in its caprices,
going to Augusta for its politics and to remote
ages for its philosophy, its Indifference to the
ruin which listening to it's counsels would
BRING, can excite no amazement But there
are those OF the friends of Mr.. Morrill, to whom
the banquet to which they are invited is not
attractive. 6endower could call spirits from
the Vastly deep but we are left to infer that
they exercised an enlightened discretion az to
obedience Our contemporary can call unop
Farwell and his hosts to revolt, and Farwel,
UM revolt, but his followers will inaugurate y
counter-reyolution They will demand better
reasons for imperiling all the conquests of the
Republican warfare than a refusal to grant a
demand for q second caucus, when a nomina-
ton has already been made. Imagine Gen
Blair presenting himself at Washington on
the 4th of March next, and protesting against
the induction of Grant into Office on the ground

SIZE oE PUBLIC BUILDINGs.-Some idea of
the size OF celebrated buildings on the CONT
nent OF Europe, may be gathered from the fact
that gentleman of this city recently meas.
ured the amount OF space that would be occu-
pied by st. Peters at Rome if moved to Port
land, and he ascertained that the church
would cover all the square, bounded by Con-
gress, Spring, State and Park streets, and
then $4,000 square feet would have to be added
to that area. In other words there is space
enough to allow thirty-two churches, like the
State street, being built on the ground If YOU
should take ten feet off of the spire of State
street church, it could be moved right into the
nave OF St. Peters without touching the roof
