The WEST POINT EXAMINATIoN.-Wo are
informed that Messrs. Strout, Jewett and Ham
ilton, the gentlemen appointed by Congressman
Bnreigh to examine candidates for the West
Point cadetship agreed to report the names of
FEE. Hobbs, who claims to be resident of
North Berwick, as passing the best examine
ton. and William HI. Looney of Portland, the
second. The committee reported two names
because there are very grave doubts as to the
eligibility of young Hobbs, his parents residing
in Washington, D. c., for more than two years
and the young man coming from that city to
contend for the appointment, and intending to
go back Immediately. 1t would certainly seem
that this simple fact should bar him under the
statute from receiving the appointment, as it
provides that the appointee shall be an actual
re dent of the district. Young Looney is about
eighteen years of age, ana is a member of the
present graduating class of the Portland High
School. He is first class boy in every respect,

stolen from the body of Capt. Colvocoresses,
who was found dead in the field near Bridge
port, Ct, year ago, having died from pistol
shot wound in the head The manner of the
death of Capt. Colvocoresses was in doubt, not

work in the eight hour shops but found them
an full, aud they will probably have to return
to their old shops at ten hours labor.
IL is stated that IN n representing himself
as society carpenter, has visited several shops
to-day threatening those who are working ten
hours, 1t is not believed now any general
strike will occur unless the bosses of eight
hour shops decide to change to ten hours. The

The Big Show.

Barnum came, saw, and conquered. He
came at o'clock yesterday morning, he saw
the streets filled with immense crowds of peo-
q continuous one.
The people began to arrive Tuesday nighttime
first lot being boat load from Bangor, the far
thest distance any ever went to see the big
show The special train over the Ogdensburg
brought in 1900 people, while the Grand Trunk
and the Rochester brought upwards of three
thousand. The number of teams from the
country was enormous, and it was capital
day for the girls to count white horses. About
5000 people were present at the morning exh-
bition. In the afternoon the attendance was
much larger, and in the evening the great pa
villions were densely packed. There were
probably Il, 900 people present.
As for the show the only fault to be found with
it is that it is too large There is too much of it,
and the eyes grow weary before half the sights
are seen. 1t fully sustains all the praise that
has been lavshed upon it, and is undoubtedly
the greatest exhibition that is shown under
canvass. In fact, it is a combination of exhibit
tions. The menagerie is very large and com
plete, embracing many animals never exhibit
ed before. The gymnasium and the hippo
drome form great exhibition in themselves,
and the mechanical curiosities and freaks of
nature. many thousands in number, are all par
ticularly fine Many features which the visitor
hastily passes by would be well worth All hour s
study had one the time. There was excellence
