PORTLAND, June z, 1870.


To the Editor OF the Press:
Please give me space for a few lines in your
valuable columns. 1 notice by the report OF
the Committee on the Celebration of the COM
ing 4th of July that they recommend militia
ry parade, sc. Being somewhat interested in
military affairs, and wishing to see the coming
4th duly celebrated with as small expense as
possible, would suggest to the committee that
they give call fer an Ancient and Honorable
Company, after the style of 76. A company of
one hundred could be easily raised and with
but small expense; such a turnout as we had
in 1860. Many of us remember Captain Ellis
Company of and III. l think all will agree
with me in saying that for the last three or four
years our Ancient and Honorable turnouts on
the 4th were disgrace to the city. If the
committee will not take this matter in hand l
hope some public spirited man will, and if he
wants aid he can find plenty in WARD FIVE.

MIRACULOUS EsCApE.-On Monday after.
noon a horse and open buggy, belonging to Mr..
j. d. Rogers (and used for the time being by
Mr.. Goodhue) was standing on Beach street,
in front of Mr.. Coolbroth's, when several
boys commenced to amuse themselves by
jumping in and out of the wagon. Mr.. Good
hue went out and drove boy out Of the
wagon, when, in revenge, the youth set his
dog on the horse, the dog biting that animal
on the nose. The horse, maddened by the
pain, dashed down Clark street and plunged
over the embankment, fifty feet high, that sep
arates that street from Commercial street, yet
strange to say, the horse was only slightly
bruised and one shaft of the wagon 5rvken.

EXPLOSION ON BOARD BARK AsTURIAs.-The
last English papers give further particulars of
the fatal explosion on board bark Asturias
which has been referred to before. The explo-
sion was caused by the mate going into the
hold with light for something stored there
and the flame ignited with the foul air gene
rated by the cargo of COAL Without any warn
ing the ships decks were almost all blown out,
and the vessel otherwise greatly damaged, and
soon afterwards she took fire. The captain
(Sloan,. of Kennebunk,) was picked up
ON deck insensibe anc never spoke again.
The seaman at the wheel was blown over
board and lost. Second mate badly burned.
Three c0lored seamen severely burned and
one leg broken. The rem ainder of the crew
stunned, and several cut and bruised, but no
other serious injury. The boats were got out
as quickly as possible, and all the crew got
ir to them, taking with them the captain, who,
however, soon breathed his last. They were
soon after taken ON board the prigantine Sue
cess, of Dublin, and safely landed at Penzance.
The injured men have been attended to and
appear to be going on favorably.
