teen years cashier of the Vermont Ma
tional Bank at Brattleboro, died at his
residence in Armenia, New YORK, on Sun.
day, February 4th, Of congestion of the
brain. He was AZ years of age. He
left Brattleboro about 1866, and was
cashier of the national bank at Arme-
MIA, at the time of his death.
Perry q Holding have gone into bank
ruptcy on their own petition. Their liza
biities are stated as bigh as $4,000 and
they expect to pay fifty cents on the dol
lar.
Thomas Evans formerly of Fayett-
vile, has bought of j. Estey the Brat
tleboro House, for S1S, 900.
The second new furniture manufacture
ing company of Brattleboro has organ
lied, with a capital of $4,000, which
was increased to $4,000 The directors
are d. S. Pratt, E. w. Packer, S. M.
Spencer, o. B. Douglas, r. w. Clarke.
The permanent name of the corporation
is not determined.
Orion Clark, the lustre man, has fail
ed. Liabilities not stated but said to be

The Masonic Levee and Ball on Mon
day evening was brilliant affair. The
hall was beautifully decorated, and with
the superb music of the Lowell Germa-
mia band Eve don't know as that is the
title but they are worthy of IT'D and the
company present, it made fairy scene of
rare beauty. The tables in the lower
rooms were most elegantly laid and fur
nished with great abundance of nice
things from the markets far and near,
and in all respects the occasion was a
very complete success.
Have youever seen NJ. 7. Van Doorn's
crockery store 1t is doubtless the finest
of the kind in the State. 1t is brilliant
display of beautiful things, and lead
ing feature is the perfect taste and sym
metry with which his goodsare arranged,
much of the credit for which we presume
may properly be given to the son. Snow
ey white piles of crockery and china are
set off by glittering cut glass in every
form and style from the most delicate
toilette service to the elegant chandeliers
for private parlors or churches. This
last department is especially complete
either for gas or kerosene. In fact few
similar establishments in New England
make better or finer display of goods
than Van Doom.
Messrs. Clark & Willard have moved
into their new store in Brooks Block,
and opened on Monday evening. 1t is
certainly among the most beautifully
finished and attractive drug stores to be
seen anywhere. The walls and finish
are carved in elegant designs, the color a
pearly white and gilt, and with silver band
ed show cases and snowy bottles present
brilliant display. A great attraction,
however, is the Aviary in the window in
which are twenty FIVE beautiful little birds
of various colors, and whose MARBLES as
they fit about made little scene Of
beauty and euchantment
The demand for the cottage organs
manufactured by ]. Estey & Co., con-
stantly increases. They manufactured
631 organs last month and their sales
during the same time amounted to near
" $4,000.

LaughabIe Dilemma of a COuntryman

Mr.. EDITOR.-In times of political excite
ment exchange my PRESS for a neighbours
argus. One thing which always recurs at
such seasons, causes me great perplexity
No sooner does a canvass begin, and the Re-
publcans call public meetings, than, accord
ing to the argus, complete desolation reigns
throughout the city. have read in books of
history and travel, of deserts, but never of
such awful solitude as uniformly exists in
your streets, in the evenings appointed for
Republican demonstrations. The desert of
the Thebiad has not the representation in
song and story, of being lively place, but it
is the theatre of the widest merriment, the
most frantic tumult, compared with Portland
on the evening of Republican mass meet
ing. Once before 1 die, I earnestly hope l
may be permitted to see with my own eyes,
what must be the most comical sight that
the universe affords distinguished speakers
from all parts Of the country, standing on the
platform in City Hall, earnestly haranguing
and wildly gesticulating to the insensate
benches! You, doubtless, Mr.. Editor, have
seen this thing many times since 1856,
but to a novice, the pantomime would be ex-
tremely engaging But now comes my diff
Guilty. How is it that you aI,cdys carry the
city, when election day comes? Your orators
waste their words on the boundless realms of
space. If you have procession, one or two
dilapidated urchins make up the entire assem-
blage. No adult "white male" was ever seen
on such an occasion. Can you repeat the mir
acle this year, and carry Portland for Grant
How is it, that from silence, solitude, desola-
ton and decay, you always bring the consum-
mate fiower-Victory? .

This expression is often used. but it is manifesly
absurd. Gloom and melancholy not spon taneous.
They unnatural mental conditions and usually
have corresponding causes. If there is apparent
reason for dependency it is symptom of physical
disease. In nine cases out Of ten the stomach, the
liver and the bowels are responsible for the cloud
which rests upon the BRAIN In all such cases imme-
diate and permanent relief may be obtained by the
use of Hostetter's Stomach Btters If the digestive
organs weak an invigorant is necessary; if the
liver is disordered Alternative is required if the
bowels constipated irregular gentle aperient
is needed In that famous vegetable remedy these
three medicinal properties are commingled with
several others of scarcely less important character
and hence it speedily cures every species of hypo-
chondria arising from material causes by removing
the causes themselves.
In the summer when disorders of the stomach
and bowels, bilious complaints and all diseases
which affect the assimilating and secretive organs
are especially prevalent the importance of having
this invaluable tonc Alternative and corrective in ev
cry dwelling, and within the reach of all who travel
by land water, cannot be over-estmated As it is
staple article throughout the country it would be
next to impossible to find settlement, near
mote, unprovided with stock of this famous vegea-
BILE restorative.

Political Notes.

A correspondent informs us that the East
port Greeley flag hoistings were not such i'm
mense affairs after ALL In the first case the
Grand Army had nothing to do with the mat
ter as an organization, not being political,
while in the case of the prominent mer-
chant" he proves to be the gentleman who
exhibited the 'Leviathan of the Deep'-the
monster shark or something of the kind,
caught near Eastport several years since.
The Journal of Commerce is neither for
Grant nor Greeley. 1t says, however, that it
could name ticket that would succeed; but
it doesn't do so.
The Greeley men are congratulating them
selves that Belmont is ''willinp' and yet he
says: "The nomination of Greeley is one OF
those stupendous mistakes which it is diff
cult even to comprehend"

Portland and 0gdensburg Railroad,

A notice has been duly issued to the voters
of this city calling upon them to vote .sYes''
or NO." on the 25th inst, upon the propo-
sition to accept the act of the Legislature
authorizing them to grant further aid to the
construction of the Portland & Ogdensburg
Railroad to the extent of $3.50, 1000. As
the proposition was made last Winter many
serious objections were urged against it. The
company asked for aid to the extent of 81
100000, representations were made that the
road could not be completed for that sum
even, and that the western connections were
uncertain and controlled by interests adj
verse to those of Portland.
The situation is changed in every respect.
A contract has been made with responsible
parties to build the road for 50, 3OO. 900 taking
one half in bonds of the company secured bv
the same mortgage which the city will have
Tor It's security against loss, and more advan-
tageous western connections are assured than
had ever been anticipated by the projectors
and friends of the road. The credit of tho
city is asked for only about one half the
amount originally proposed, and the tax pay
ers are guaranteed against the actual expen-
diture Of any money by the same security
which private individuals accept for an
amount nearly as great. r.
Considering the removal of the chief OBJ
Jections to the measure which have existed
in the minds of citizens, and the enormous
benefit to the city which must follow the
completion of the road, we feel that il is
clearly for the interest of the city to grant
the aid which is asked. 1t is matter which
should be fully and freely discussed in all its
bearings without passion or prejudice. In
business matter of this kind appeals to pref
udlces, or denunciations of individuals infalli-
bly, show want of substantial grounds of ar
gument. This is proposition which should
stand or fall on its intrinsic merits and We
shall endeavor to present to the public all
facts and arguments bearing on the question.
The details of the points which we have gen
orally indicated will be made clear to every-
body, and careful and impartial investigation
is earnestly desired by the managers of the
enterprise. A very remarkable change of
public sentiment is observable, in consequence
of the recent developments of the business
and financial prospects of the road, and the
indications point to result favorable to the
completion of this great enterprise.
