Friday afternoon, during the height of the
storm, party of gentlemen and a party of
ladies took hacks and rode out to Portland
Head to enjoy the grandeur of the scene which
is presented at that place during a gale. Both
parties arrived about the same time, and alight-
ing proceeded to the rocks TO get better view
of the angry waves as they roared and broke
upon the lodges. The hackmen, who were ac-
quaintances, named Augustus Williams and
Freeman Bean, went together, with the party,
and while the gentlemen and ladies were stand
ing in two groups on the top of the rocks the
haclkmen passed around point down on a low
er shelf where the spray broke furiously. Both
were dressed in long rubber coats, boots and
cape caps. and they sat there few minutes al
lowing the spray to dash over them and laugh
ing to see the water runaway. Some OF the
party attempted to warn them of their danger,
but the force of the wind prevented them from
hearing what was said. Soon great roller
came in and rose over the rock, lifting the men
up and carrying them off into the awful tnmult
of waters. The people on the rock were para
lyzed with fear. 1t was terrible sight and
they knew that ten thousand men could not
have stayed those terrible elements. One
gentlemen from Cape Cottage, who CHANGED to
be present, threw off his coat and ran to lit
tie cove close by, hoping that the men might be
swept in there and possibly be saved. But he
arrived just in time to see them dis ppear The
party on the rock saw the men swept away and
brought back on the top of the wave and dash
ed against the rocks. As one of them was
borne towards the shore, the undertow uncov-
cred rock little distance from the base of
the cliff. He attempted to grasp it, but he was
powerlcss against the force of the waves. He
seemed to be dashed against the ledge and
hurled back into the seething waters; and al
most before one could tell the story both men
had disappeared. Horror-stricken and almost
overcome with the awfulness of the scene, the
party returned to their carriages. Some drivers
were procured at Cape Cottage, and they came
back to the city with the sad news. Augustus
Williams was the owner of his hack while
Bean drove for William SWEET. The former
was a married man and lived on Merrill street.
He had no children Bean was single man,
about % years of age. The accident occurred
at just fifteen minutes past four o'clock.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES..

ONE of the greatest improvements we have
noticed for long time, is the change in the
well-known "Whitters Drug Store" Mr.
Whittier has taken the next store formerly oc-
cupied by Miss Deland, and has put the whole
building into one store, doubling the space, and
every foot is needed in his increasing business.
The whole ground floor is to be devoted to the
retail department. The prescription depart
ment' occupies one end entirely. The cases of
drugs are directly behind the dispensing coun-
ter. The laboratory is separate from the dispens-
ing counter, yet convenient TO it so that every
prescription is compounded-away from the
noise and hustle of the other business, ensur-
ing correctness, with no danger of any errors,
resulting from Interruptions and each prescrip-
ton is under the personal supervision of Mr.
Whittier or Mr.. Landers, for so many years
head clerk
The public will appreciate one convenience
adopted by Whittier in his new arrangements.

MATTERS In MAINE.

Special to Prcss)
Republican RaIIy-aseneraI Farnswer,h
Breaks an Engagement.
BATH, Aug. 30.-City Hall was filled this
evening. in spite of the hard storm prevailing,
to listen to Gen. John L. Swift, who unclaimed
the audience with his wit, sarcasm and elo-
quence for long time. The meeting was
called on only four hours notice. The meeting
closed with cheers for Grant and Wilson.
The GreeleyItes had given extensive notice of
a meeting this evening to be addressed by John
A. Farnsworth, who arrived this morning I'M
noticed and uncarod for, and continued his
journey West. Therefore they had no meeting.
1t is thought he may have gone to Illinois,
thinking the friends of the Louisville move
ment might be in want of a candidate for Con-
gress
A Forgery.
AUGUSTA, Aug Ex-senator Wilson, who is
here, saw to-day for the first time the letter just
published purporting to have been addressed by
him to certain German citizens of Brooklyn
n. Y, in response to an alleged letter from
them requesting to be informed whether he
ever belonged to the Know Nothing party.
This letter he pronounced forgery. He never
wrote it, as is evident from the fact that it is
said to be written in German and Senator Will
son does not write German.
The Rally at Augusta-A Large Meeting.
A cold, dismal rain set in early this morning
greatly to the disadvantage of the programme
laid out by the Republicans of Augusta, who
had planned for grand gala day, and had the
weather been favorable no doubt their hopes
would have been realized, for Notwithstanding
the severe rain, long and heavily loaded trains
arrived from Belfast and towns North OF here
All outdoor demonstrations had to be aban-
doned, and in their place meetings were held
in the hall, which was densely packed. The
people were addressed by Senator Wilson, Gen
B. +. Butler, Senators Hamlin and Morrill, and
Gen. John NJ. Harlan. Special trains, which
were to bring visitors to participate in the
grand torchlight procession and celebration of
the evening, have been counter-ordercd, and
the services this evening will consist of speak
ing in the hall. All the distinguished speakers
who were advertised to appear are in town and
nothing but the inclemency of the weather pre-
vents the affair from being grand success.
Senator TrumbuIl Looked After.
BANGOR, Aug. 3O.--Hon. John A. Bingham

THE SToRM.-An unusually severe storm of
wind and rain occurred here yesterday, begin
ming about three o'clock in the morning and
lasting until sunset. The wind was northeast
and quite heavy, while the rain was incessant.
We hear of no damage by the gale except that
a good many awnings were destroyed, and some
branches of trees broken down. The Grant
and Wilson flag in Market Sxuare YVES badly
split and tern and Sidney Perham seemed to
run behind the rest of the ticket; but the Gree
ley and Brown flag Jared worse. Charles p
Kimball could not be recognized as candi-
date; and Greeley and Brown looked as if they
had been struck by Louisville Convention. A
number of other campaign flags in the city
were damaged by the wind. In Deering many

Mr.. KIMBALL's Observation-Disclosures of
the Greeley Zouaves came out here Tuesday
night and walked around the streets. The
Democrats say they sent messenger into Port

two got into fights and then fought with the po-

bad. The officer of the Company gave as an
excuse FOR coming out, that he had some roughs
in his company and run them out here to prevent

A room, fronting upon Congress street, with an
entrance upon the street, independent of any
other, nicely carpeted and painted, with chairs
aud other furniture, is to be especially devoted
to the comfort and convenience of ladies, and
others who may wish to wait for the horse
cars, or to rest, to.wait while their medicines
are being prepared. This room will be kept for
That special purpose. No one will be allowed
to occupy it except those for whom it has been
arranged. Smokers and loafers will not be
welcomed there. Ladies and children can al
ways feel sure of cordial reception, and when
enjoying the privileges of comfortable sitting
room, convenient for either line of horSe-cars,
it will be an attraction that other retail stores
may find it good policy to adopt. 1t is we'll
known fact that there are few places in Port
land where more attention is paid to the wants
of the people, as regards little things, such as
postage-stamps, car-tickets, &c, &C., as at
Whittier's. When the new internal arrange
ments of Whittier's are completed-we are
safe, we think, in predicting, that a marked in
crease in his business will at once be noticed
and the old store will continue, we hope, for
many years, to enjoy the confidence and pat
ronage of the public.

SAFE DEPOSIT VAULTs.-While parties are
contemplating the small amount saved by omit
ting to secure place of safety for their valu-
ables in a safe deposit vault, burglars are as
busily engaged contemplating the probable
amount to be secured by tapping, perhaps the
very vault containing the valuables of the first
class, deemed by them as perfectly safe against
any attack of burglars.
The results of the recent attack upon the
Baltimore Bank have undoubtedly convinced
is special depositors that it would have been
economy ON their part to have awaited them
selves of the security afforded by safe deposit
vaults, and should serve to convince the direc-
tors of the bank that its vaults would have con-
tanned less attractions for the burglars had it
been free of that class of deposits, the recep-
ton Of which, by National Banks is held by
the Comptroller of the Currency to be a trans
