PORTLAND CHORAL AssooIAT1oN.-The ex-
brought out the Cantata of ''The Haymakers"
have permanently organized themselves under
the above title, with Mr.. Charles E. Hodg-
kips as leader The hall in Clapp's block late
ly occupied as the U. s. Court room has been
leased upon terms made very liberal by the
worthy landlord. This new musical society the
latest out-growth of the musical interest of
Portland, have been invited to join the chorus
of the International jubilee, and have accepted
the invitation The society will be augmented
to fifty members, when it will take its place as
1874 and commence the practice of the magnifi-
cent old chorals that are to be sung on the great
occasion in June next.
THE EASTERN MAIL.-The trains from St.
John arrived here yesterday afternoon, bring
ing six days mails from that city. A st. John
merchant sent, an order by mail to a merchant
in this city, and as matter of precaution sent
duplicate order through the steamboat mail
via International boats. The result was that
the merchandise was sent on the order received
by steamer and reached their destination two
days before the original order sent by cars came
to hand. The change of mails between Port
land and ST. John by Postmaster General Cress-
well last autumn, from the steamers to the cars
was not an expeditions arrangement as the
steamers arrive in st. John from three to seven
hours in advance of the cars.

BUSINESS NOTICES.

4 DELICATE CREATUREs.-This is the phrase
applied by His Blackness, the Moor of Venice,
to the fair ladies of Italy. 1t was the lovely
complexion of Desdemona, such radiant con-
trast to his own, that won his heart; and sooth
to say, every man of diseernment considers a
fair skin, like sweet voice, an excellent thing
in a woman" But this is charm which can
be acquired. There is healthful and odorifer-
GUS toilet article, known everywhere as HAGANs
MAGNOLIA BALM, which literally transfgures
cloudy OF sallow skin, suffusing the discolored
face, neck, arms and bosom with soft pearly
tinge, and imparting to the surface smooth
ness and gloss like that of polished marble
Instead of clogging the pores, like the sticky
enamels, or contracting them, and thus OBJ
structing perspiration, like the astringent cos
metics, it cleanses the skin from all impurities
and wonderfully improves its texture. This
popularity is particularly appreciated by our
rural bellies, who find that the coarseness and
roughness, which country air is apt to engen-
der, are speedily removed from their faces,
hands and arms, by this delightful preparation

Bloody Riot at McAdam Junction.
TWO MEN FATALLY INJURED.

The whole line from point few miles
above Bangor to ST. John, has been literally
''shoveled out" The snow plows were put on
early last week, but only served to sweep off
the heavy top crust which had accumulated af-
ter the storm of the Sth and 9th inst A snow
speedily followed by rain was transformed by
sudden cold blast, into an ice sheet running
along the whole line and all its diverging
branches. The dangers ordinarily used for
clearing the track were of little avail Men
were put at work somewhat more literally ON
the estern than on the western extension, and
train which left Rangor ON the Saturday after
the blockade commenced, only arrived at Vance
boro' on Sunday night Both sides of the rails
were held in. A solid rim of ice, which, when
broken OH, presented long glittering strips
seemingly as solid as the rail from which it was
separated. The ST. ohm officials at once began
work on their end, and by tremendous effort
one train was got through. Then the snow
blew once more into the gaps and ravines in
desolate fields, and the blockade held good. 1t
is exactly eleven years since so great snow
fall has visited the east of Maine and the prov
incial frontier. On the 21st of March, 1861, the
checked all travelling, and created much suffer-
ing in the back country, whittier no railroad
had yet penetrated. 1t should be rendered that
the European and North American railway
runs for the greater portion of extent through a
forest, and that in many cases trees have him
dered the snow from drifting in; otherwise the
road would certainly have been blockaded until
spring. Our coast people can have no adequate
idea of the snow fall here Between Malta
wamkeag and McAdam there are drifts which
not only cover the fences, but which Overhang
the track and look into the car windows. I
doubt if the Union Pacific blockade was more
effectual than that between McAdam and
Vanceboro has been, and the passengers from
Boston who were compelled to lie four days in
the drifts at Danforth will testify to their gran
deur .I
The railroad company behaved generously,
offering to pay all bills incurred, and the hotels
were invaded, the depot was usurped, and the
country round about was ransacked for its fair
est daughters, who gracefully consented to at
tend an extempore ball at the Danforth railroad
station. The passengers occupied the floors
and corridors of the diminutive tavern at Dan
forth, and the town has experienced a dearth
\ OF provisions since their departure. Pathetic
and comic incidents were not lacking during
the blockade last week. A lady started from

EXPENSIVE VoLUNTEERs.-The Montada
war claims have been placed in the hands of
the House Military Committee. An inspection
of the documents reveals an interesting state of
affairs in connection with the case of the $50
soldiers called out by the territorial government
for six months services in the Indian cam
paign. The claims presented amount to $780,
0Oo while the war department officials declare
that $3.50, 900 would have been sufficient for the
maintenance of the men had they been treated
as soldiers. Although 100000 had been re-
commended for their payment, an examina-
ton of the accounts shows purchase for these
men of some articles that were never before
heard of as belonging to a soldiers equipment
for instance nearly ST., 900 expended for tobae-

four o'clock this afternoon in a building on Lis

defective chimney. The building was occupied

the fire department and large supply of water
the damage to the building was small. There
were several stocks in the buildings adjacent
