EXTRAORDINARY RESULT OF ADvERTl5
INa.-A gentleman residing in Portland insert
ed an advertisement in this paper for a few
days, stating that be wanted~a man to take
care of his horse. The result was instantane.
GUS. The very first day he had applications
from men enough to constitute full regiment
of cavalry The number went on increasing
in geometric ratio, till our unfortunate patron
-four himself receiving as large a number of
letters As if he was manager of a mammoth
lot,e.y,' or the proprietor of a new kind o.
sarsaparili or "hair restorer." Letters encum-
bered all his tables aud desks, and pervaded
every nook and corner of his house. The post
man staggered under his unaccustomed load,
and the Post Office department was at last in
a fair way to become self sustaining. Postmast-
er General Cresswell was in extasies, but our
friend was in despair, and rushing into the Of
fee. he i'm pored that the notice might be dis
continued. His request was promptly compli-
ed with, but the stream of applications flows
steadily on. He has already has specimens of
the chirography of the people of all the coun-
ties in Maine and New Hampshire, with scat
tering letters from the Dominion of Canada
New York and the West have some represen-
tatves, and an insinuating Cuban puts in his
claim. Our patron is now awaiting with the
keenest apprehension the arrival of the next
European steamer. He has no doubt that after
the lapse of sufficient interval he will hear
from ''Greenland's icy mountains" and In
dia's coral strand'-from Kamschatka, Ispa-
han, Yokohama, Quito, Abyssinia, Bankok,
Timbuctoo, Skowhegau and Madawaska.

ARREST OF BURGLARS -Two men named
Frank LIBBY and Martin WEIGH we're arrested
Saturday for breaking and entering Bray &
Moores store at Morrills Corner Thursday
night. These two fellows have bad reputa-
ton, and suspicion fell upon them as soon as
the burglary became known. 1t seems that
the burglars broke into the store, packed up
the goods il bags and then came down the
railroad track piece and hid the bags in the
woods. Then they came to town. The Mar
shall had good reasons to suspect them, and
after consultation with the Deputies they de-
cided TO wait and see what the thieves would
do. The thieves hired wagon to go out of
town, and when WEIGH came in "a watch hlv-
ing been kept on botb) with the bags in the
team like an fonest market-man, he was ar
rested by the Deputies, who afterwards arrest
ed Libby on Fore street. The rascals, after
robbipg the store, made arrangements to burn
it but the machine hung fire.
