NEW NoRTHwEsT.-We are indebt-
ed to a. n. Arnold, agent, for copy
OF the above entitled paper, which has
just been sent afloat upon the sea of
journalism at Portland, by our former
fellow citizen, Mrs. Duniway. The ty-
biographical appearance is superb
(which is due to the mechanical skill
OF Mr. Isaac Long, and the paper
abounds In original and vigorous arti-
clcs peculiar to its able editor. or
course her strong-mindod proclivitics
protrude from almost every line
throughout its prolific columns, but she
tempers her right-istical demands with
so much moderation and apparent cam
dor that they are devoid of any ofthose
Growing' peculiarities which have
made similar publications so objection
able to the masses. The establishment
of the Netc North,rcst Is q bold venture,
by bold and ,launtless woman, and if
1t docs not prove success the failure
will be in the weakness of its cause
and not in want of pluck or ability on
the part of its conductor.
a BRILLIANT IDEA.-From the
Jacksonville Sentinel of last Saturday
we quote the following:
Mrs. John Tupper, who started on a
visit to Germany this week, has re-
quested us to present, through the col
umns of the .ScRtiaci, her compliments
to those of her friends and acluaintan-
ccs whom she was unable to visit be-
fore leaving.
There! why didn't some brilliant Ia
dy genius think of that before? Mrs.
John Tupper should be immortalize,i
and handed down to posterity as the
alleviator of her sex, for she has sud-
denly opened to them an avenue of es-
cape from the sshorri,l 5ore'' of making
fashionable calls. All the dressing,
primping, flouneing, and crimping
necessary to get themselves up in shape
for a ''call,n and the enormous expense
incident to providing \ first-class rig
for the purpose, can now be entirely
obyiated by the payment of an insig-
nificant fee to the printer! We shall
open stcaller's column at the earliest
moment, and will insert their cards
with neatness, cheapness and dispatch.
Insertions for widows will be made at a
liberal discount. iess.F

CORA, the Magic Queen, has been
performing in Parrish's Hall during
the week to crowded houses. The AL
banians have never patronizcd n show
SO extensively nor received so much
pleasure from ono. The performer is
lady of more than. ordinary personal
attractions, and with manner as win
ming as a seraph's voice and a smile as
ailuring rs vcritable siren, while her
magical performances certainly entitle
her to the distinguished apellation of
the eHMagic Queen" The presents dis
tributcd throughout the entertainments
We're both valuable and substantial,
AMI their distribution created great
interest and much merriment among
the apprcciative audiences. We COM
mend Cora to the favor of the public
wherever she may wait her magic +!
wand or practice her mysterious orien-
tai wonders
RAILROAD ExcURsIoN.-To-mo
Saturday the Sabbath Schools of this |
city will take an excursion by rail to
Portland, the railroad company having
agreed to take them the round trip for
one dollar each. The State Sabbath
School Convention will be in session at
Portland, and a rare opportunity will |
thus be afforded to exchange greetings
with so large a number of teachers and
children engaged in the same great
work. AS the trains viii leave here
and starton their return at the regular |
hours, it is important that all should
be promptly on hand This will be q
rare opportunity to have a cheap ride |
on the cars and to see the sights at the
and we predict an overflow
ing train on the excursion trip.
