Letter From Boston.
Correspondence of the journal.


The inevitable calm after a storm has
settled most effectually upon us, and the
past week has gone by with scarcely a
sufficient breeze to even ruffle the skirts
Of Dame Gossip. Everybody has pro-
nounced the heartfelt "too bad" over the
late misfortune by fire; and it gradually
fades into forgetfulness, save as we are
reminded OF it by having occasion to pass
that way. Travel is resumed on Wash
ington street, and the s'new burnt dis
trict," with its thick growth of little sign
boards, strangely resembles it's big brother
down town. Nearly all of the sufferers
have located themselves again. and are
pursuing business with renewed energy.
Mr.. Cheney, OF the Globe Theatre. has
completed his arrangements to erect a far
more beautiful building than the old one,
and promises that the curtain shall rise on
the first of October Already the street
commissioners have found great advan-
tages for improvement by the fire, there
by verifying the old adage Of ono great
loss without some small gain"
Summer has come'-says the faithful
almanac, but alas as yet that is the only
evidence, and if we had ever caught the
old fellow fbbing, we should surely in
cline to doubt that assertion.
The festivities attendant upon the adj
vent Of sunny June are greatly impeded,
and the excursion boats and big wagons
placarded "Mill-dam" and s'Chestnut Hill
Reservoir" go out with scarcely sufficient
appreciation for ballast A few persever-
ing clubs have rolled themselves in Win
ter overcoats and big shawls. and tested
the virtues of a trip down the harbor; but
in each instance an over abundance of
compactness tailed to keep out the sckly
chill of the saucy east wind.
Sombre indeed is the general aspect of
the streets, which at this season usually
wear such gala-day appearance. Gen
tlemen are again buttoned tightly inside
spring over-coats, and poor females are
forced to cover ]aunty suits with cumbrous
outside wraps. Several evenings we have
all snuggled around the kitchen fire, the
only room in the house Boosting of heat
ing apparatus; some of the colder blood
ed members of the family even going to
the extent of tucking their feet in the
oven.
The Ancient and Hon orable Artillery
Company celebrated their two hundred
and thirty-sixth anniversary last week,
the ceremonies as usual being quite i'm
posing. Speeches by Governor Wash
burn, the Mayor, and other gentlemen of
note, a grand parade, and a sumptuous
dinner, made the occasion very enjoyable
for the members, and gave rich enter
tanment to the crowd which invariably
follows in the wake of such turn-outs.
Jubilee Gilmore left the city few days
since with his famous band, to participate
in the musical festival at Chicago, where
he hopes to realize better harvest pecu-
niarily than at his own great undertaking
last year in Boston.
Henry Ward Beecher and Mr.. Murray
exchanged pulpits on Sunday, which oc-
casion drew an enormous crowd to the
Park street church, spite Of the recent
rumor of the formers belief in Universal
lsm.

Sad Affair at Eastport.

EASTPORT, June 10.
A sad accident occurred here this morn
ing at the Gas Works. Repairs were to be
made at the Works, and a young man
Hiram Lawrence went down into the
gasometer to let off the water. The gas
overcame him and fell from the ladder
into the water. His brother Edward went
down the ladder to get him out and he
too was suffocated and fell. Another
brother. James, manager of the Works,
tied rope around his body and was
lowered down. but had to be drawn up
Immediately. He was nearly dead when
taken out and now lies in dangerous
condition. The other two were dead when
taken out. Edward leaves a wife and four
children. Hiram was recently married.

During the thunder storm Of Saturday
afternoon, oath ult., the store of r. F.
Keene & Co., South West Harbor, was
struck by lightning. The bolt ran down
the chimney, passing into the room over
the store where were seated four persons
From the foot of lady, Mrs Geo. league,
the lightning tore her shoe. Mr.. w. R.
Keene was rendered senseless and his
legs were paralyzed for several hours.
In a neighboring house Mr. H. j. Ander-

were knocked senseless. The bolt tore
up deep furrow in the ground as it went

New Workers are troubled about the
want of cleanliness in that city, in view

son of Chas. A. Nealley, of this city, aged
Is years having had some experience as
a sailor and wishing to continue in a sea
faring lite, was provided by his father
with schooner OF sixty-tive tons, named
the Eliza Frances. which was loaded with
lumber at Mr.. Nealley's mill, and the
young man was told to sail where he
pleased and sell the cargo. He purchased
chart OF the coast and sailed, arriving
at Rockland the same day; but as he
could not sell his freight there he again
set sail and went to Thomaston, and meet
ing with like result there, he tried Car
ver's harbor and from thence went to
Portland, being fog bound three days.
At Portland he sold the cargo for good
price, sent the money by check to his
father, chartered for Boston loaded his
vessel, all in the space Of nine days realiz-
ing as the proceeds OF his first trip $40o."

The local reporter of the Bangor
Commercial is writing very interesting
accounts of remarkable spiritual maniles-
tations through Il lady medium in a dark
ened room. A drum was beaten by
ghostly hands, a lady's ear ring taken out
and thrown across the room, and II bell
rung while floating over the heads OF those
present. The reporter is sure there could
be no deception because, as he says "Dur-
ing all this time both on the mediunl'S
hands ,oere held By the Writer.' A young
man sitting in dark room, holding both
a lady's hands, is liable to believe almost
anything.

There is manifest intention by the
party managers in this city to keep Hon.
A. G. Jewett out of the state convention
at Bangor. They don't like his determined
attacks on the corruption at Washington,
and mean to punish him in that way. The
Custom House here will pat Mr.. Jewett
on the back so long as he can be used to
forward its purposes, but as soon as his
voice is raised in denunciation of corrup-
ton, then he must be barred from the
party councils. Has he not friends enough
among the honest republicans of this city
to put him at the head of the Belfast dele
cation, where he so appropriately belongs ?

Every thirty days it is the custom OF the
republican newspapers Of the country TO
90 into a state of ecstatcs over "the re-
duction of the public debt by the present
Administration" and to claim credit for
their party only as the source from which
the reduction is made. But the debt is
paid in reality from taxes imposed on
democrats as we'll as republicans. 1t is
TO the whole people, Of both parties, that
the credit belongs, and not to a faction
The Albany Argus correctly remarks that
it is the surplus taxes of the country, not
the Republican party, which is paying the
