The Wing says that Melville Prouty aged
about 20, and Marcellus Myrick, aged about
20, came to Bangor from Veaze ON Monday,
and spent the day. Both, as near as we can
learn, drank freely while there, and when
they returned on the regular mail train in
the evening, they were noisy and inclined to
be quarrelsome. After they got off the train
al Veazie they went a few rods from the sta
ton and commenced fighting with their fists.
Myrick drew large knife and stabbed
Prouty twice-the first blow making severe
wound in the thigh, and the second cut just
above the knee severing all the large mus
Giles, many of the blood vessels and cutting
the limb about three quarters off. Myrick
then made his escape, and Prouty was cared
for by the frightened hystanders. Prouty
lost great deal of blood-indeed nearly bled
to death before surgical aid was received
from this city, and he now lies in precari-
GUS condition. The Trial Justice at Veazie
refused to issue a warrant for Myrick's ar
rest, on the ground that he saw part of the
ARRAY, and preferred to be called as evidence.
In the mean time Myrick is at large, and if
he has not already left these regions, will
probably do so without stopping to accommo-
date the officers.

CARD.
To the Citizens OF Augusta

Some months since there was organized in New
York u Comedy and Burlesque Company, compris
ing the first talent of the country, who played to
large and fashionable audiences for three months,
at Lima Edwins Theatre, Broadway. At the termin-
alton of that engagement they proceeded to Boston
and took possession of the Adelph Theatre it be-
ing the intention of the management to make il the
standard theatre of the above city for the produc-
ton of light Comedy and Burlesque. After two
weeks of the most latterng success, on one of the
coolest nights of the past winter their beautiful
temple was burned to the ground leaving the
Company without an abiding place. In this emerg-
ency they resolved TO remain together, and having
received offers of the most fatering engagements
from managers IN the larger cities of New England
west of Boston, they accepted, and have appeared
in the cities of Hartford, New Haven, Springfield,
Providence, &c, to crowded and delighted au-
dencc; indeed the name of Mr.. John L. Hall and
the corps of Artists under his management, has
become as familiar rs household words

cuded to revisit this city previous to the departure

joyment,

FROM PORTLAND.
Grand Lodge of Good Templars-ThIr.
teenth Annual Session

teenth Annual Session
Portland, April IL. The Good Tempars
are the largest secret organization in this
State. Their pledge is total abstinence from
all Intoxicating drinks, and their aim, the
creation of a healthy public opinion upon the
subject of temperance, and persistent efforts
to save individuals and communities from the
scourge of intemperance. Almost every
town from Calais to Kittery has its Lodge,
holding weekly meetings, for mutual improve
ment, and to devise means to raise the fallen
AS an order, it has nothing to do with poll
tics or religion, each member being free to
act as his own conscience shall dictate. In
some towns more than one-seyenth Of the en-
tire population are members of this organiza-
ton. The session which commences to-day
at o'clock p. NJ, is composed of delegates
from each Lodge, in the ratio of two delegates
for the first fifty members, and one for every
additional fifty. There are nearly three hun
bred Lodges in Maine, with membership of
over twenty-one thousand. Besides the dele
gates, there are visiting members, who are
not allowed to vote.
AT the last session a committee was ap-
pointed to report as to the expediency of
electng to the Office of Grand Worthy Chief
Templar, suitable person, who should de-
vote to lecturng and organizing new lodges,
and receive therefor a salary. The commit
tee have had many applications for the posi-
ton. and have labored diligently to find Just
the right man. 1t was the unanimous wish
of the Order that Rev. Smith Baker, Jr., of
Orono, should continue as the Grand Worthy
Chief, but he could not be induced to accept
The committee will report unanimously for
that responsible position, the Rev. David
Boyd, of RocklaDd, who is both physically
will be opposition to the payment of salary,
but it will undoubtedly pass. The only other
candidate named is Rev. 0. NJ. Cousins, of
Newfeld. The Office of Grand Worthy Sec
rotary, held the past three years by Maj. II.
A. Shorey, has heretofore been the only
salaried office, and there are numerous candi-
dates for that position. The more prominent
ones are w. F. Morrill,, Esq, of Portland,
formerly of Augusta,) b. f. Hamilton, Esq
of Biddeford, G. L. Kimball, and d. X.
Dresser, of Portland.
The election of officers will take place to-
morrow. The severe storm of last evening
and today will seriously diminish the attend
ance from the country towns.
A public meeting will be held this evening
at the City Hall, where the Grand Lodge
will be welcomed by Mayor Kingsbury, and
the reply made by Rev. Smith Baker, Jr., of
Orono. Speeches are expected by Gov.
Perham, w. Dingley, Jr., Rev. David Boyd,
Rev. Geo. Pratt and others

Ject Of the revenue during the recess, was the
result OF consultation in committee, cover
ing considerable ground The design is to
dlvide the subjects and set each member at
certain Investigations, and then meet toward
the close OF the recess to put the work into
formal shape ready to present to Congress Mt
the opening OF the session. Senator Sherman
believes that, with proper disposition to
economic, the ordinary expenditures of the
government, exclusive of interest and of nro-
vision for the sinking fund and for pensions
can be brought down TO one hundred millions
If the funding goes on as successfully as now
anticipated, he thinks the interest will be re-
duced to one hundred and ten millions, sink
ing fund to twenty-five millions, andpensions
to thirty millions, making the entire expendi-
ture two hundred and seventy millions. If
the revenue of the present rates is collected
it will reach next year three hundred and
twenty millions, and thus make possible a re-
ductiOn of taxation at the next session of from
thirty to fifty millions. 1t is believed that the
committee will recommend raising nearly the
whole internal revenue from whiskey and to-
bacco."

The store of Mr.. c. c. Cornish, post
master at Winslow, was entered on Tuesday
night, and money and goods taken to the
amount of about $35. From the post office
one letter was taken and opened, containing
small piece of cloth and directed to lady
in California; no other letter was opened.
The entrance to the store was effected by
forcing open the back door with large
chisel, which was found near the store. Yes
terday morning large iron bar was also
found on the premises, which it is supposed
was taken from the depot, and used in forcing
open the door. Suspicion rests upon two
young men who were seen entering the vii
lage on Monday afternoon, each with valise
slung over his shoulder. They called at Mr..
Cornish's store about five O'Clock and pur-
chased some crackers which they took to the
depot where they remained a short time.
Yesterday morning quite early these same
individuals were seen leaving the village, and
it is believed they went to Kendall's Mills
and took the first train. Measures are be-
ing taken to secure their arrest Two per-
sons were arrested in Bangor vest erday
afternoon who are supposed to be the indi-
viduals engaged in the transaction.
