CAPE ELIZABETH FERRY CoMPANY.-The
affairs of this Company have, during year or
more, been in an unsatisfactory condition on
several accounts, and while active efforts have
been made by many residents at Cape Eliza
beth and in this city to bring order out OF
chaos; and Just as everything seemed all ar
ranged and fair, clear road opened out of
their troubles, an old creditor strikes upon the
property and the Company is forced into bank
ruptcy. On Saturday all the property and
franchise of the Company was sold at auction
by order of the assignee, Gen. G. P. Mattocks.
The steamer H. Fl. Day was struck off at $3.50
to Mr. N. O. Mitchell Of Gardiner. The fran
chise brought $3.50 and the two sail boats
brought $40, both being purchased by Ran
dali, McAllister & Co. A dory was sold for
$3.50. and the safe for $40. 1t is understood
that Messrs. Randall, McAllister g. Co., pos
sessing the franchise by this purchase, intend
to build a suitable wheel propeller, which
shall be both safe and fast, and put her on the
ferry route. The project will no doubt pay
them well, as the ferry has always paid, and it
only needs judicious management to make the
new enterprise remunerative one

Yankee audience in Yankee land be allowed

We only wish to remark, did the correspon-
dent buy bis ticket to the course with the in
tention of becoming martyr or for the sake OF
appearances, as he must be well aware that
very few singers sing English ballads altogeth-
er, and If a large majority of the patrons Of the
M. L, d. course deliberately stay aaoay every
time an Italian concert is announced, how enor-
nous must be the society's receipts judging by
the size of the audiences at the concerts Fur
thermore, does "P." deliberately place himself
on record as countenancing deliberate insult

LARcENY.-On Friday night last Melrose d.
Palmer and William McCarty of Turner'S Is
land, went to JEWELS Island after load of
stones. When there they broke into the soop-
scow of Jonathan Chase Of that island, named
the "Poor joe and stole from the cabin bag
of meal, six fishing lines of the value of So
each, oil. clothing of the value of $40 and few
candles. Capt. Chase reported the larceny to
Deputy Decele on Saturday afternoon and al
30 that a sloop loaded with stone sailed for
Turner'S Island the previous night about -
O'clock and he supposed the thieves were
aboard of her. Deputies Sterling and Decelle
repaired to Turner's Island and found the scow
reported, on board of which they discovered
the stolen property. By making enquiries the
deputies asccrtained who manned the scow and
arrested the above named parties. McCarty
denied all knowledge of the affair but Palmer
confessed the whole thing, and furthermore
that McCarty had suggested committing the
larcenies previously.

CAN THE HEIRS OF MAN WHO COMMITS SUI
eide CLAIM THE INSURANCE +?
from the Hartford Post Nov. ELL
A notice that an action has been commenced
by Anna NJ. Buell., relict of the late Jeptha G.
Buell., Of Cleveland, Ohio, against the Connec-
ticut Life Insurance Company, for the sum of
1000, was received at their office on the 18th
inst Jeptha G. Buell. was insured in the Con-
necticut Mutual Life under policy No "a $50,
s1o,uoo, on the ga Gay OF March, 1866, and
committed suicide by shooting himself with a
pistol on the 18th day of November, 1869 Mr..
Buell. was insured in three other companies
for $4,000 each, making total of Coo OF
these companies the New York Life insures
against suicide and has paid its policy of So
600. The Connecticut Mutual Life, of this
city, the Mutual Life, of New York, and the
Mutusl Benefit, of New Jersey, do not insure
against suicide, and these three companies
have combined in the defence against the suits
brought on behalf of Anna NJ. Buell. The case
will very likely be carried by either party
which is unsuccessful in the Circuit to the
Supreme Court of the United States. We
shall so get an adjudication OF the law of sui
throughout the United States.
Jeptha G. Buell. was cashier of the Second
National Bank of Cleveland, Ohio. The cor
oner's jury, brought in verdict that be came
to his death by pistol shot, delivered by his
own hand while in the state of temporary in
sanity.
1t is a satisfaction that the commencement
of the actions are announced, as the large
amount in controversy, the ability of the plain
tiff to prosecute, the weights of three corpora
tons defending, the ability of counsel retained
on both sides, assures more satisfactory dis
cussicn and authoritative settlement of the
law of suicide as applied to life insurance con-
tracts than has yet been bad.

Division . + Wessbrook.

r. the Editor OF the Press:
wish, through the columns of your paper,
to correct an erroneous impression which Iun-
derstand has got abroad with respect to the
position of the anti-divisiousts in the matter
Of annexing portion of Westbrook to the city
of Portland.
The anti-divisionists prefer that the town of
Westbrook should remain just as it is;
they are opposed to division in every FORM
The town they believe is well enough as it is
and they are content to let well enough alone
No one is authorized to say that the division,
lists will cooperate with the annexationists
They are not yet driven to the alternative of
choosing between two evils, and will do all in
their power to postpone the day when they
shall be ANTI-DIvIsIoNIsTs.

AMATEUR THEATRICALs.-We were glad to
notice, on Saturday last, that the plan of Port
land Theatre at Halves B Cragin's, No. "
Middle street, gave evidence that there was
consid cradle interest manifested in the anna,
teur performances to take place this and to-
morrow evenings. We hope and expect to see
the Theatre filled to its utmost capacity on
both occasions, not merely because the enter
tainments are to be given for charitable OBJ
ject-since it is well known that charity often
covers many poor "shows''-but for the reason
that we feel confident that all who are fond of
seeing good plays well acted find that they will
ind that they will receive "quid pro quo" for
the amount invested. The actors are all tai
ented amateurs, and the rehearsals have heen
many and carefully regarded by the company.
Tonight will be produced the comedy In two
acts. by John Courtnay, Esq, entitled "Time
Tries All" with the favorate farce of "Betsey
Baber," and to morrow night the comedy in
two acts, by T. & J. M. Martin, Of "All that
Glitters is not Gold" followed by the charm
ing comedietta of "The Morning Call" Be
sure and secure seats during the day.

TRIAL OF HYDRANTs.- Saturday afternoon
a trial of the comparative power of the john
SOL hydrant and new one which has lately
been put down at the corner of Congress and
Chapel streets, manufactured by Dockray and
Titcomb of New Jersey, took place. Both by
drants played two streams with pressure OF
forty pounds, each through fifty feet of hose,
and pipe with an inch and one eighth nozzle.
The streams from the johnson hydrant reach
ed height of about forty-fve feet, while that
of the latter attained an altitude some twenty
feet greater. Besides the superiority in throw
ing water, it is claimed that the latter hydrant
is simpler and much less liable to get out OF
order, and for this reason its makers say that
whereas there are four ports at the base of the
johnson hydrant where it connects with the
main pipe, the wave at the base of their n.y.
drant is as large as the bydrant itself. There
fore while the water from the main pipe can
only get into the johnson hydrant through its
four ports it takes more time and gives less
head OF water than when it goes into their by.
drant, since their valve let's in all the water that
there IS in the main pine at once
