A FIRST CLASS FIRM.-We learn that s. M.
Pettengill & Co., have just established a
branch of their advertising business in Phila-
delphia. This veteran advertising concern be-
gan business in Boston in 1849 and established
branch in New York in 1852 In the course
OF this period they have done business
amounting to ten millions of dollars, 1t is no
disparagement to other houses to say that none
in the country stand better with newspaper
publishers and very few as high, and none have
done more to secure to papers fair remunera-
ton for ther-colnmns. We would recommend
all who want advertising done in any part OF
the country to call upon them. They can point
to hundreds of business men who have follow
ed their advice, and awaited themselves Of
their facilities. who have made fortunes for
themselves, and they are daily assisting 9th

imitation of any considerable number of men,

that patriarch of the olden type can very
properly take some pride in saying that years

In speaking of the Importance of the SUBJ
ject considered by the recent meeting in New
York city and the high character of some Of
the gentlemen who participated in its deliber-
atoms, the New York Times says of the rem
ely:
The practical way to the abrogation of ex-
orbitant freight charges undoubtedly lies in
bringing the transportation lines into sub.
lection to law, and as this can never be
done so long as these lines control all
departments of the State Governments, the
Convention wisely resolved to work reform
in this respect. When railroads cannot in
fuence legislation, and are unable to dictate
to Governors and Judges, the solution Of the
problem of cheap transportation, so far as
concerns existing lines will be comparatively
easy. The struggle to achieve this result is
now fairly commenced, and there can be no
doubt how it will terminate. The Ameri-
can people have never determined to do any
thing which they have not accomplished, and
they have determined to secure cheap trans
porcation.

The Bridgton Neaos gives an account of a
piece of meanness at North Bridgton that de-
serves briefnotice. Last March two Young
men claiming to be runners for a wholesale
liquor house put up at the village hotel. In
the course of time they called for liquor but
the landlord had it not. On inquiry they
found that a respectable man living in the
neighborhood might have some which he
used for sickness. They repaired to his
house and pleaded for it, urging case Of Sc
we're sickness. After long entreaty and con-
siderable search, bottle containing half
pint of whiskey was obtained, for which they
expressed their heartfelt thanks. nothing
more was thought of it until one evening last
week when ga middle aged, square built
light-complexioned man, with sandy side
whiskers and moustache," arrived at the
hotel, took rooms and sent for the man who
had, as an act Of charity, furnished the men
with the liquor, saying that he had impor
tant business with him. When the man ar
rived, the stranger told him he was United
States marshal and that he had war
rant for his arrest for selling liquor with
out a license. He also remarked that he pre-
sumed that the Bridgtonite did not want any
stir made about it and in view of that he
would settle the matter for one hundred dol
lars and make it perfectly quiet. Mr. Hill,
the accused, wanted to consult friend
which the officer allowed him to do and as no
arrest had been made he was advised to make
himself scarce until the marshal should leave
town. In the morning the pretended officer
called at Mr.. Hills house but not finding him
at home left on the stage. Mr.. Hill is an old
and highly esteemed citizen and his neigh
bors are very indignant at the affair.
There have been frequent complaints of
unwarranted practices by parties who claim
to belong to the secret service that are dis
ere 1itable to those concerned therein, but
this bears all the evidences of being fraudu-
lent transaction and one that should consign
the parties interested in it to punishment.
We cannot believe that any United States
ofhcer would be so lost to common decency
as to be particpator in such piece of un-
qualified meanness. If Col. Whitley has in
Maine any such low down pimps as those
fellows that prevailed on the kind hearted
Mr.. Hill, to let them have little liquor for
urgent sickness, and then complained of him
for violation of the revenue laws, he had
better recall them and consign them to the
nearest penitentiary. We cannot, however,
believe that these mean scamps are any
thing but impostors.

Nor so BAD A BARGAN.-Two small, rocky
islands in the Behring Sea- says the London
Globe, "will soon have paid back to the
United States Treasury the whole sum ex-
pended upon the purchase of Alaska. When
the cession of this territory was granted by
Russia, people smiled at the bargain made by
the Americans. 1t was asserted that Yankee
shrewdness had deserted Mr.. Seward in the
matter. He knew better, and did not buy with
his eyes shut St Pauls and St. Georges
Islands, belonging to the Aleutian chain, have
since been leased to the Alaska Commercial
Company for sea-fshing at a yearly rental of
$55,0O0 A tax of nearly three dollars ON each
fur seal skin taken and shipped from the is
land is also imposed. As 100000 skins are ex-
ported yearly now to San Francisco and New
York, a fruitful source of revenue ,is obtained
from these two barren rocks This territorial
enterprise of the United States is therefore a
great success and will probably help to devel-
op the idea in America that colonial possess
sions are useful from many national points of
view ~
