THOSE FIREwoRKs.-It has been suggested,
and we heartily adopt the suggestion, that the
fireworks, given to the city by Mr.. Hunt. the
contractor for the exhibition on the Fourth.
should be displayed from Lincoln Park, in OF
der to afford the residents in the northern Dor
ton of the city an opportunity of witnessing
the display. We understand, also, that the
Portland Band would prefer the Park to
play in, and would, undoubtedly, volunteer
their services on that occasion.

Little Chebeague

To The Editor Of the Press:
Perhaps few are aware that Little ca beagur
is of the fiuost Islands in our beautiful
bay, affording every facility for delightful So
journ. While all our islands have their pecu-
liar attractions and prominent features, there
are some peculiar to Chebeague which render
it far preferable to those intending to spend a
few days at the seaside. The island is of COR
siderable extent, with an almost even surface.

to state that if the rain pours and the Hoods

hotel of Mr.. Abraham Osgood who has spared
M effort to make his house comfortable and

arises how can this enchanting isle be reached,
and the main purp0rt of this article is to urge
that one Of our island steamers should run
there. We think its owners would derive
pecuniary benefit therefrom, and no doubt
Judging from last year, the route would be

FEARFUL STORM AT MONTREAL.

MONTREAL, July IA most fearful storm
swept over Montreal last evening 1t commenc-
ed about o'clock and actually levelled every
thing in its way. A large number of buildings
were utterly destroyed and hundreds severely
damaged. No loss of life has yet been report
ed. Two of the large freight sheds of the
Grand Trunk railroad we're Frustrated. The
loss is immense. All telegraphic communica-
ton with the city was stopped as far west at
Lachine. There are rumOrs of still greater
damage at other points from the storm.

FATAL AccIDENTs.-A boy drowned and a
boy run ouer and killed. -Yesterday noon boy
about seven years of age named George Ross,
son of Capt William Ross, residing on Tate
street, went down to the wharf at the foot of
State street, with little Haley boy, to put a
dog into the water and see him swim. Whe n
they were returning the Ross boy came round
near an abandoned dock near the Boston de-
pot, and it is supposed he stepped eff into the
water. About an hour Afterwards, his body
was seen in the water by boy passing that
way, and officer Burnbam was called and took
him out Coroner Hall deemed an inquest I'M
necessary, and took charge of the body The
boys parents were both away, the mother hav-
ing started for New York this morning to meet
her husband, who is master of the bark Mary

About five o'clock yesterday afternoon lit
tie boy named Owen Hassett, aged about ten
years (whose father, Thomas Hassett, is en-
ployed by the G. T. Company as weighcr) was
riding on dump-cart on Pearl street with his
brother and another little boy he fell from his
seat under the wheels which passed over the
left side of his head and crushing it in. DR..

Earthquakes in Ecuador.

Much damage has been done in the
vicinity Of Quito, in the Province of In
babura, and in many other places by
earthquakes. On the I'd of December
several shocks were felt, and on tie 18th,
continued shocks we're felt from noon
morning Of the next day, when a shock
ofextraordinary violence occurred "The
Inhabitants" says the Panama mail,
"were terrified, and rushed from their
dwellings, fell on their knees, and i'm
plored for mercy. During the latter part
of the day thirteen distinct shocks were
felt in Jipijaps, each one being accom-
panied by II violent wind storm. On the
18th Of December another terrific shock
was experienced.
"Several times since many shocks
have taken place, but none created great
alarm, until the I'd instant, when there
was one Of unusual severity at about
midday; but the most terrifying one of
all took place on the Sd instant, when be-
tween Pedernals and Cabo Pasodo the
earth was seen to open and emit hill
lock Of stones from 30 to 40 feet high.
Behind or near the spot where this oc-
Cured stood an earth hill about 60 feet
high, which suddenly and entirely disap-
peared. Around the base of the hilock
is a circular pond Of salt water, and for a
long distance surrounding that the earth
which before was hard and solid has be-
come soft and spongy. The inhabitants
Of the locality have become positively
terror stricken, and no lnducement will
take them within a very long distance of
Of the spot"

Advice to Philip Sheridan, Esq.

A great many complaints have been
made against Sheridan because he kills
the Indians. The following bit OF advice
is about as good piece Of satire on the
subject as we have ever seen:
One Of the objections made to Sheri-
dan as a warrior is, that he killed people.
Another is, that he kills the Indian
father at a time when his family needs
him as a provider Of food, and the inno-
cent squaws and children suffer from
this cruelty. We always did think
Sheridan killed the enemy too much.
Why can't you just shoot them IL little
Phil, SO as not to hurt them Why do
you want to 90 around makinga a grave
yard Of everybody that murders Ameri-
can citizens! Don't you know any way
to carry on Il war without killing people
this way! Suppose the poor Plegans
have taken scalp or two, and dug the
bowels out Of Il few babies, and subject
ed a few women to the embraces OF half
a tribe Of the most hcllish ruhians that
ever wore the human form, what has
that to do with it? You ought not to do
that way. You should send missionaries
to them. Send them peace Com mis-
sioner--send them the Cincinnati
Gdzettc-send them bald headed Qua
ker chat Can't be scalped send them
confound it-send them Mungen aud his
fiddle We can spare him. 1t would
do him good to 90. 1t would do us GOOD
to have him go. The Indians would be
glad to see him. Let him take Mrs.
Cobb along Let him take the whole
female lobby from Washington. If they
can't bring the Piogan to repentance
and to thinking Of his latter end, nobody
can. And don't be 50 brash with your
shooting any more. Don't you remem-
ber how you used Rosser, in the Valley -?
He only wanted to come along down in
the rear. He wasn't hurting you any.
Yet what did you do to that young
man! You went out with Cu5tar and
shot at him and charged into him with
your Internal cavalry and made him git up
and git till his artillery wagons went 50
Fast on y one wheel touched the ground,
and his horses were nearly tired to death
That's no way to treat man. You
should have been polite and friendly
to him. You should be polite and friend
ly to these Indians. Give themblankets

PAIN x I'LL Il "
WE ASK ATTENTION TO THIS UNRIvALED.
Family Medicine F!

The Pain Killer is, by universal consent allowed
to have won for itself reputation unsurpassed in
the history of medicinal preparations. Its nstan.
taneous effect in the entire eradication and eXtnc-
ton of Pain in all its various forms, incidental to
the human family, and the unsolicited written and
verbal testimony of the masses in its favor, have
been, and are, its own best advertisement.
For evidence in favor of the Pain Killer for
Ministers Sore Throat or Bronchitis, read the fol
lowing:
GENTs.-The PAIN killer has been q constant oc-
cupant of our house for over two years, and por-
ton of the time it has been the only medicine I'M
der our roof Hardly ever do l have my children
complain of being sick, without having them ask
i'll the same sentence for Pain Killer.
For several years before | became acquainted
with the Pain Killer, | had suffered a great deal
from an affection in my throat thought by some
physicians to be Bronchitis, by others to be what
is called Minister'S Sore Throat. At one time it
was so severe that was obliged to give up preach
ing Within a few months after had become ac-
quained with the Pain Killer, had anothera attack
from that distressing complaint. l tried my new
found medicine, and, to my astonishment and de-
light, it produced wonderfully soothing effect
In a short time was wholly relieved Since that
time have had number of attacks of the same
nature. and the Pain Killer has always afforded me
relief. About one year since, my wife became sub
icct to severe suffering from rheumatism: our re-
sort, usual, was to the Pain Killer, which would
always relieve her.
! have not time now to say more as could with
u hearty good will. and always have done, in
praise of the Pain Killer. If this hastily written
letter. in commendation of Perry Davis valuable
medicine, will be of any service you are at liberty
to do with it as you please.
Very truly yours.

His confession states that he medtated
the murder for a year, and about four
weeks ago intended to do it. but the
presence Of Il negro frustrated his design

A Double Man.

All the stories told of the Samese
twins hardly equal this of the Scotch
man, of whom the following account is
given by the Rerum Scotiarum Histo-
ria:
During the reign of James Ill, of
Scotland. and at this court, there lived
man double above the waist and single
below that region. The King caused him
to be carefully brought up. He rapidly
acquired a knowledge OF music. The two
heads learned several languages, they
debated together, and the two upper
halves occasionally fought. They lived
generally, however, in the greatest har-
mopy.-When the lower part Of the body
was tickled the two individuals felt it
together, but when, on the other hand
each individual was touched, one alone
felt the fact This monstrous being died
at the age Of %. One of the bodies died
several days before the other.

Remarkable Preservation.

A case has been recently reported of a
boy who fell from the mast head of the
ship Surprise into the sea, keeping him
self ahoat for three quarters Of an hour,
then being rescued by the vessel. This
occurred during a very dark night, and is
one of the most remarkable cases of pres
ervation on record. The lad had on heavy
clothing at the time, but succeeded in di-
vesting himself of most Of it, and his
boots, or otherwise he would have been
unable to sustain the weight of water
they would have contained.

Important to Whiskey Drinkers.

A new process has been discovered in
which sulphuric acid is used in the man
ulacture of whisky from corn, by which
treatment the quantity Of whisky is in
creased from 10 and 16 to IS and 10
quarts per bushel. A specimen of the az
ticle, which has been shown to US, proves
to be most deleterious and poisonous
compound When put through the usual
course of rectifcation it corrodes and de-
otroys everything with which it comes in
contact, and an alcohol manufacturer, in
attempting to distil it, discovered that it
rusted the copper still to such on extent
that the fluid was highly impregnated
with copperas. If copper still cannot
withstand this article, how can the hu-
man stomach be expected to go it.
