There is some dissatisfaction with the name
given to the new town by its legislative spousers
and there has been some canvassing in regard
to change. The names of Oakland and
Brooklyn There is Brooklin in Hancock
county, have been received with favor, but no
formal decision has been arrived at On ac-
count of the near approach of the adjourn
ment of the Legislature it has been decided to
lay the matter over until next year. The old
town will retain the name of Westbrook, and
we hear that an attempt will be made to do
away with the name of Saccarappa by having
the name of the post office at that village chang
ed to that of the town.

CAPT. WILLIAM CLEAvEs, who for mauy
years was steamboat captain on the lakes
died in this city Tuesday morning of paralysis.
By his long absence from the city while in fer
eign ports and on the great lakes, and his re-
tirement since his return, he was little known
among our citizens, but his friends both here
and at Buffalo, and other lake ports held him
in high estimation. For number of years he
commanded the steamer Queen of the West,
one OF the finest steamers of the lakes, and
which run between Buffalo and Chicago
Capt. Cleaves' age was 63 years.

We had the pleasure of being present at the
concert spoken of by Dwiehts Journal whiol
was far beyond the average concerts given by
professionals, in the display of fresh, pure
voices, good training, and excellent style ant
method. The instrumental portion of the pro
gramme developed talent of high order, ant
the audience was the most critical that coult
probably he collected in this city. We hav'
no doubt that the coming concert will be,evel
greater success than its predecessor, as it i
announced as public entertainment.

The ADMIRAL RUM.-In yesterdays issue
we published an interesting article from w. q.
on the "Dart" rum. There was another rum
brought here about the same time that had a
greater celebrity than the Dart" 1t was call
ed the Admiral rum, why Admiral we do not
know The circumstances in relation to it
were these: Captain Lemuel Wees of this
city was on his way home from the West H.
dies when one day the sailors on his vessel
which by the way, may have been named the
"Admirap-saw what appeared to be the top
of a reef covered with green above the surface
Of the waves. They lowered boat and pulled
to the spot when they discovered it was hogs
head covered with sea-weed and barnacles, and
furthermore that it had been tossing on the
waves so long that the barnacles had eat all
through the wood so far that it was me,e
shell. With great care it was hosted aboard
the vessel and ascertaned to be full of splen-
did Jamaica rum that had probably been tossed
ABOUT on the ocean at least for several years
1t was brought to Portland and sold, and as
was the case with the Dart brought out in
after years only on particular occasions. We
would here state that there is gentleman re-
siding in this city who possesses in his cellar
few bottles of both the "Dart" and admiral
rum and only short time ago it was sampled
on special occasion by some bon viyants who
admitted its smoothness, oliness, ETC., but
laughed at the idea of its great strength
They only took one or two "smles" but shortly
after found that it had "sarching' way with
it that Major Baystock would lave called slev-
iish sly"

HIGH PRICES FOR SHoRTHoRNs.-The
great demand for beef in the cities and
large towns in this country, keeps up the
prices of Shorthorns beyond all other
breeds of cattle. Though they have been
very extensively cultivated both at the
East and in. the luxurisnt pastures of the
West, prices are still rising. We have
probably quite as good Shorthorns as can
be found in the world. Breeders from
Great Britain are now found among the
purchasers at our annual sales. At q sale
of Shorthorns in Woodford Co., Kentucky,
June 9th, eight bulls brought an average
nrice of $50 624, and twenty five cows
brought an average of $305. The highest
bull was $44O, and the highest cow $lO25.
At a sale at Paris, Kentucky, June 18th,
the bulls averaged $1S1 so, and the cows
1890. At public sale in Clarke Co., KY,
June :3Otl, the bulls averaged $4OO, and the
cows 1917. These are great prices to pay
for cattle, but they are cheaper to the Pur-
chasers who make a business Of breeding
than inferior animals at any price. Mr..
King, the distinguished breeder of Mime
sofa, has recently offered Mr.. Sheldon $50,
GOO for three heifers. On the same day
Mr.. Sheldon was offered $4,000 for Ave
of his heifers. These offers for first
class stock, by men who best know the
market, indicate good times ahead for
Shorthorn breeders. This breed 10 likely
to take the lead Of all others in the new
States west of the Mississippi, where beef
making is to be q leading business for many
years to come. No Investment will pay
better than Shorthorn bull to run with Q
herd of Texas or common cows.-AnericGn

NKw ORLEANS CONSERVATORY OF Music
We are pleased to motto the establishment in
our city OF an Institution whose object is to
impsrt thorough practical as we'll as theorcti-
cal musical education to all who may desire to
avail themselves of its teachings.
1t is an undeniable fact that institutions of
this kind are among the great wants of the day,
hence, in supplying the deficiency, the founders
of this conservatory which is on the style of the
most prominent and successful conservntories
of Europe, deserve, and we are satisfied will
receive, the earnest support of our citizens.
Tho system of instruction will be thorough
and progressive, embracing the piano-forte,
singing, organ, violin, harp, and all orchestral
instruments. Tho school year comprises four
terms Of ten weeks each, beginning on the
third Monday OF thi. month, aud, excepting
o vacation daring Christmas week, continu-
ing forty-one wesks.
Tho charges are very moderate, and tho
names of the gentlemen and ladies composing
the Board OF Instruction, amongst which we
see those of Mr., T. Masao, C. Won Hufflen and
Miss C. Zeiss, of the French Opera Messrs
Groenevel, III. Braun and A. Mari, and Misses
May and Lemoine, are sufficient guarantees
that the benefits to be derived from . course
of instruction at this institution will be worth
. hundred-fold more than the amount of sub
scription.

dent, Mr.. T. Masao, at the Conservatory, Nc.
