NoRToNs MIDNIGHT ON THE ATLANTIC.
This painting at Hale's Gallery still continues
to receive the warmest appreciation of our citi-
zens, and we are told by Mr.. Hale that no pic
ture that has ever been exhibited here has met
SO hearty an endorsement as this. It is daily
visited by large numbers, and among them are
many very familiar with moonlight effects on
the ocean, and Mr.. Hale says he has yet to
know one who did not think tho management
of the light, as near to natures own work, as
it is possible to put it upon canvas. Capt.
Smith, of the Peruvian, related an experience
quite like the effect here produced, when two
days out from this port on his last voyage to
Liverpool. He was very enthusiastic in praise
of Mr.. Norton's skill. The picture will remain
but short time longer. Those who have not
visited it must not delay.

GoaaAM OYER THE Bony OF AN UNKNowN
Person. "Wednesday afternoon John Golding
drove up to:the hotel of Jeremiah GRAHAM of
West Gorham and made arrangements to be
put up for the night. AT 10 clock, before re-
firing, and nearly two hours after his arrival,
he said that he had a man in his wagon, who
was going with him to West Baldwin to work
en- the p. & o. railroad track, and as he was
intoxicated he desired the hostler to help him
take care of him. The hostler did as he was
told, and proposed taking him into the house,
but G olden said as he was so drank, it would
be better to fix for him lodging place in the
stable. The man was consequently taken into
the stable and laid in stall on a bed of straw.
In the morning he was examined by Golden
and pronounced as still under the influence of
intoxicating liquor, SO it would be impossible
to carry him farther on the journey. lie
(Golden) therefore proceeded without him.
At 10 o'clock Thursday morning the man died.
S. +. Bacon, ESQ.,, one of the seiectmeh' peinS
notified, Immediately sent to Portland tor Oor-
oner Hall, who, yesterday morning, AFTER lnVes-
tigating the case concluded to summon jury.
The unfortunate man is Irish and apparently
80 wears old His head appears to have been
badly bruised, and without further evidence
there is indication of foul play. After the jury
were sworn, Samuel r. Clements, Esq, was
made foreman, and Drs. Hunt and Reynolds
proceeded to make examination of bad look
ing face and head. The inquest was adjourned
over until to day at 9 o'clock in order to give
the Constable an opportunity to summons
Golden land other parties. 1t is understood
that the deceased left Portland apparently
well, remained in Saccarappa village half an
honr, where Golden says he drank freely
He afterwards became insensible and fell from
his wagon, SO that he (Golden) had to tie him
in the baggage wagon with rope 1t is prob
able that rum and exposure did its work on
person otherwise injured by an accident, care
lessness, or perhaps by design 1t is proper to
state that Mr.. Graffan keeps an orderly house,
and is a kind-hearted man and did not know of
the mans condition, or the manner he was dis
posed ofin the stable until he was cared for
The name Of the deceased has been ascertained
to be John Finnigan who resided at the little
house by the draw of Vaughan's bridge and
who leaves wife and several children. The
widow proposes to have the body brought to
this city.

OYsTERs.-The Freeman Brothers jesse
and Thomas-who are known by hundreds Of
our fellow-citizens to be lineal descendants of
a long line of oyster Kings, have fitted up a
pretty little shop at No. 10 Exchange street.
They are thoroughly versed in the business,
both as providers and cooks, and the man who
orders dish of the delicious bivalves at their
table will find it we'll cooked and everything
around the establishment neat and orderly.
These young men will succeed, for who e7er
knew a Freeman in the oyster business that
was not successful. They cling to the profes'
sion like a barnace to Spite, and that is the
secret of good luck" as people call it.

PAPER HANGINGs.-If our readers wish to
feast their eyes upon an artistic exhibition
they should visit the store of G. L. Lothrop.
No. 81 Exchange street, and request him to un-
fold his magnificent stock of paper hangings to
their view. From the cheapest paper to the
most expensive, the taste can be readily salts
fed as well as the purse accommodated. His
borderings are "things of beauty" and the
eye dwells upon his imitation frescoings for
ceilings, window shades, imitation marble and
choice woods with sensations of unmixed de-
light He has not only all the best styles of
New York and Philadelphia, but imports
large number direct from Paris We make no
exaggerated statement when we say that an
hour in his store inspecting these beautiful de-
signs is passed as rapidly as in an Art Gallery

NEW Music TEAcHER.-We understand that
Chas A. Libby, Jr., so long and favorably
known to our citizens in connection with the
music store of Mr. William Paine and as Or
ganist of the Cathedral of the Immaculate
Conception, is prepared to take pupils for IN
struction on the piano-forte. Mr.. Libby is
supphed with the very best of references and
his card will appear in our columns in a few
days We have not the least doubt that his
success will be assured from the start for he
possesses all the requisites to that end-a
thorough knowledge of his profession, q most
ainable but firm disposition, and a host Of
friends.
