New YORK, Jan. 1O.-A Madrid special of
the 9th states that Gen. Sherman and Lieut..

Charge d Afaires. The King is reported as
saying that he was pleased to see so famous a
representative of the American army as Gen.
Sherman, and that he always entertained friend
ship for the American people. He desired the
most cordial relations as between neighbors,
whose interests can only be in the preservation
United States and Spain.'' In the evening
there was banquet at the United States Lega-
ton, at which were present Malcampo, Minis
ter of Marine; Topete, Minister for the Colo
mes; LIE Bias, Foreign Minister, and others.
Toasts were drank and responded to in honor of
the King, President of the United States, and
the armies and navies of the United States and
Spain. The utmost cordiality and friendship
marked the sentiments of the speakers of both
countries. Admiral Topete said that he hoped
peace between the United States and Spain
might never be disturbed. The Foreign Minis
ter said that there was no difficulty between the
two countries that is known here but that can
be settled through the representatives of Spain
at Washington.
The same special says that the excited feeling
in Spain in regard to the United States has en-
trely Gained down, and lin that city the war
cloud was considered to have passed away.
The announcement of the recall of Roberts,
the Spanish Minister at Washington, and of
Captain General Valmaseda from Havana is
premature and has not the slightest official con-
frmation.

From the Medical Record of November LIST, 1871
Having been requested to state what know
therapeutically of Kennedy's Concentrated Ex-
tract of Pinus Canadensis, and Furthermore be-
ing requested to send it for publication in the
columns of your journal, 1 beg leave briefly to
tax your patience and generosity.
For the past six months l have used this ex-
tract in many cases affecting the mucous menu
branes, and in almost every case it has given
entire satisfaction. In abrasion of the os and
cervex uteri, when applied in its full strength
by means of pledget of cotton, have found
it far more satisfactory than tannin or iodine.
In endometritis it has proved equally satisfac-
tory. 1 have used it with perfect success in
acute and chronic vaginitis, by applying it in
its full strength every other day. have also
used it in several cases of gonorrhea, and must
say that L vastly prefer it to the Wanted rem
edy of claret and tannin.
1t is certainly most valuable astringent and
tonic; and doubt not that it will very soon
have its place in our Materia Medica.

ARREST FOR LARCENY AND Horse STEAL
NG.-In October last two young ladies belong
ing in Cornish, but at work in Boston, desiring
to visit their home, sent their trunks contain
ing all their wearing apparel to the Eastern
Railroad depot in charge of a truckman. Their
intentions were known to young man named
Charles Ramsdell, also belonging in Cornish,
who intercepted the truckman and informed
him that the ladies had abandoned the idea of
going to Maine, and by RamsdelPs directions
the trunks were carried to Pleasant street.
he came to the surface again and fell into the
hands of the police. In addition to the above
charge, it now appears that several months
since he hired horse and top buggy, valued at
$500, from j. NJ. Davis, of Cornish, under a
pretext of going to Marlborough, N. H., but
neither horse, buggy nor Ramsdell have been
seen since by Mr.. Davis, until Ramsdell was
identified by Mr.. Davis on Wednesday, Infor-
nation was obtained as to the whereabouts of
the trunks and their contents, and Ramsdell
was held to await a requisition from the Gov
ernor of Maine.
Ramsdell was put before the Court in Boston
yesterday morning. He alleged that he took
the trunks as the property of one Brown, who
was indebted to him and was trying to smugge
them away with other property, and the affair
was somehow arranged and Ramsdell was dis
charged. But Deputy Sterling, of this city,
was present and took the man ON a warrant for
horse stealing, and brought him to this city last
evening.

A HUMOROUS INcDENT.-In the Superior
Court yesterday afternoon, in the trial of the
case of the State vs. Moses Maxwell, there &C.
Cured one of those rare incidents where the le-
gal skill and acumen of an able attorney is
more than equalled by the native wit of a wit
ness. The witness upon the stand had been
o xamiDed by the County Attorney as to the
ro,u. 'stiSn of the prisoner for truth and vera
civ ana the prisoners counsel, one of the
abiest memb, srs of the Cumberland Bar, pro-
ceeded to cross examine. The first question
was request to nam- one of the persons who
had pronounced the prisoners reputation to be
bad When the witness replied, Ihat II he was
not mistaken, he had heard the counsel himself,
make such a statement" This unexpected re-
sponse set the bench, bar and spectators in a
roar of laughter; and although the counsel
earnestly denied the statement, it had had its
due effect upon the spectators, and could moi
easily be changed or eradicated. 1t was con
sidered by all as an excellent turning OF thu
tables, and the counsel joined as heartily a
ANY one, in the mirth which the wholly unlock
ed for answer had occasioned.

growler; such as our correspondent Oh" of
Deering, who complains bitterly of the manage
ment of the Westbrook line of horse cars We
are unable to print his letter because it is quite

not cars enough run for the accommodation of
the patrons of the line; that at the most i'm

more than an hour between trips, and that too
much time.is consumed on the road; eighty
minutes being required for a round trip. He
alleges that the patronage of the line has fallen
off one-third within two years; and suggests
that an increase in the number of trips and
permanent timetable would distribute the
business more evenly through the day and in
duce people to build houses and take up their
residences along the line of the road.
