ASSAULT. and 2 o'clock this
morning, as the steward of the yacht Ethel
was going down Maple street to 60 on board
the vessel, he was met by Mr.. Murray, the
Waterman of the Portland Sugar House, who
sprung a lantern upon him. The steward ut
tered some offensive language and, as Murray
says, drew dirk. Upon this Murray attacked
the man with billy, inficting some bad
wounds on dis face and head. HIS cries
alarmed policeman Miller, who conducted the
steward to the police station, and a surgeon
was sent for to dress his wounds. Mr.. Murray
acknowledged the attack upon the man, but
said it was in self defence and not until after
q knife or dirk had been drawnby the steward.

The ARGUS says it is not right to refuse the

After the public bearing, which seemed 10

cented an invitation, and went to the hne resi-

terprising man in Concord. n. Gov. gSfearns'ss
members of the Legislature, the elite OF Con-
cord were present, and full band discoursed
some fl ne music. The new railroad tosC Concord
was the theme of consideration. There is a
universal expression of delight by the whole
party of observation in regard to the character
and fertility of the country, the general thrift
of the people, especially by those who have
passed over this country for the first time. 1t
seems too bad that this section of the country
has been SO long neglected, and there ;isan un-
mistakable demand blythe people all along the
route for railroad connection with the city of
Portland. There is no appearance of any cut
or heavy grade, but continuous valley, one
commencing where it leaves another, from
Rochester to Concord, Mousam Gap through
the Blue Hills being the only grade, and that
comparatively easy The whole route passes
through portion Of the most beautiful coun-
try in New England. The Concord people say
that the road shall be built; our Nashua friends
are at work on their enterprise; towns are hold
ing their meetings and voting their 5 per cent.
The friends of the (" Lake Shore route again
demand charter. Why delay any longer the
building of the Portland & Rochester,? Its
Conceded by everybody that Portland has been
too long blind to her true interests The
friends of their several charters claim that
they will succeed There is some opposition,

the question no longerla doubtful one. AT a
