THE SMALL Pox.-There are present seven
cases of small pox at the hospital No othercase
are known to be in the city. Of the seven per-
sons who have the disease four are residents of
Portland. The remaining three are sea-faring
men. There is but one case of genuine small
pox as yet reported; the others being cases of
variola. In every instance but one the conta-
gion can be traced to other cities. The excep-
tional case is that of little girl taken from
Fore street All the persons afflicted with the
disease are doing we'll, and three of them will
probably be discharged from the hospital to-

of the disease to take all those precautions

and the authorities will take prompt steps in
the matter.

FRosT's ALLEGoRY AND TABLEAUx.-Ar-
engagements are perfected to bring out the ALLIE
CORY of Joseph and his Brethren in fine stvle
on Monday evening at City Hall. We cut the
following from the Manchester Mirror, where
this entertainer mt has recently been given five
nights:
As we looked at the splendid scenery and
brilliant oriental costumes, and the precision
and accuracy with which those thrilling scenes
were acted, we thought notwithstanding the
high praises it has everywhere received, the
one half has not been told.

OUTRAGEOUS AssAULT.-A lady residing on
Deering street, while walking toward her home
about six o'clock last evening, was outrageous
ly and indecently assaulted by man who came
up behind her. The lady screamed for assist
ance, and the fellow took to his heels. She
describes him as short man with curly black
hair, wearing cloth cap and short dark coat,
and apparently thirty years of age. When
these scoundrels who prowl about our streets at
night are caught, as assuredly they will be some
time, we trust Judge Morris will administer
heavy and condign punishment.

MISCELLANEOUS POLITICAL NOTES.

The Boston Advertiser administration says Mas.
sachusetts was secured from Berkshire to Cape Cod
for evidences OF republican dsorganizatlon--result-
ing in the late "Bird call" for the gathering OF the
liberals at Cincinnati. 1t IL the old anti-slavery
faction rediriuus.
The Norfolk Jou,nd, (democratic) earnestly and
heartily hopes that the Cincinnati platform and
nomination will be acceptable to all the opponents
of radcalism, In all sections and in every State Of
the Union.
Ex-Governor oglesby is ogling for the republican
nomination for Governor of Illinois, vice Palmer re-
ceded.
The Lafayette Journal administration thinks
Grant should be reelected on the principle that
'history repeats tself.v
Professor Woolsey does not go to the Cincinnati
Convention. As q republican he don't want to have
the "wool pulled over his eyes" In that way.
An Illinois paper thinks Governor Palmer Is only
"paying possumn in declining to be a candidate
for denomination by the republicans. He has tried
that little game before and succeeded. But 1t will
hardly work q second time.
A Cincinnati paper says General J. c. Fremont
will in a few days publicly declare his sympathy
with the liberal republican movement.
The Philadelphia Press quasi administration
does not believe that Ex-Governor Curtin will allow
his name to be used for any position by the mana
gers OF the Cincinnati Convention. The wish is,
perhaps, father to the thought.
The Providence Journal administration does
not believe that while Mr.. Sumner holds towards
General Grant an attitude which 1t deeply regrets,
che will give the weight Of his name to an organza'
ton that can succeed only by the aid and under the
direction OF the enemies OF his lifelong principles,
and who will not give their aid TO any organization
which they cannot c0ntrol.r
