Mr.. EDIToE.-Some years ago, Mr.. Stew
ems a wealthy resident of Hoboken, N. j., i'm
ported into that city soma four thousand Ger
man sparrows. For time they were fed, and
houses were provided for them. They increas-
ed rapidly in numbers, and are very numerous
now, and worms, etc., on vegetation are un-
known
A few years since, there was the same COM
plant in New York that there is now in Port
land; the worms were destroying every green
thing and were terrible nuisance to passers
in the streets, in which there were any trees. The
example of Hoboken was followed; the spar
rows were introduced, and New York now
has immunity from the scourge. The same
thing has been done in Brooklyn with the same
result.
These sparows are hardy, and it is believed
would readily flourish in Portland. recently
attempted to obtain some, but ascertained that
they can be obtained only during the autumn
and winter. when they are are kept for sale by
bird callers in New York. The better way
would be, if the city undertakes to act, ar if
several citizens will unite to import them di
rectly from Germany or England, where am
told they abound.
OF course it can be determined only upon &C.
tual experiment, whether they can endure our
winters, but if any one has any doubts as to
will bsvsc tiYeness, if he will visit Hoboken, he

EIGHTH DAY.

| There was yesterday no cessation OF the
| crowds that since the opening day OF the FAR

evening the crowd was denser than on the pre
ceding evening. The articles offered for sale
have been very largely disposed of. The gen.
orally excellent taste manifested by donors of
articles in adapting their gifts to practical

the articles. The opportunity for purchasing
the remaining articles will, we doubt not, be
sufficient to finally dispose of ever thing now

contemplated strike on one of the railroads run
ming out of this city. Last Tuesday night the
conductors and brakemen on the night freight
trains which run between Portland and Boston,
over the Eastern railroad struck The sub

under the new regulations for time, they were
obliged to run up one night and back the next,
Formerly they made two round trips one week
and one the next
The officers of the road state that they asked
the men to put up with this extra labor for a
short time, until the new time table got into
proper running order. when they should be re-
lieved of the extra work. As soon as the strike
became known, experienced men from the
Grand Trunk, B. & NJ, and P. & o. roads Of
fered their services, and were at once put in the
places of the strikers. There was no Interrupt
tion to the trains.

lSpeclal Dlspatch TO the PreSsJ
BANGOR, June 18.-The evening trains
brought in large numbers of delegates from
both east and west. All the hotels are crowded
and the Convention tomorrow promises to be
one of the largest and most harmonious that
was ever held by the party. There has been
considerable canvassing to-day on the question
of candidacy. Mr.. Dingey's friends claim a
large majority of the delegates and there is
every evidence that their claims are not ill
founded There will be between eleven and
twelve hundred delegates in the Convention.
The county towns are very generally for Mr.
Dingley. All of Aroostook outside of Houlton
represented by resident delegates, are the same
way.
Penobscot is not.organized, land shows quite a
sprinkling of Dingley votes 1t is our opinion
that the opposition to Mr.. Dingley will not
number more than one third or one-fourth of
the Convention. At the meeting of the State
Committee last evening, Hon. Eugene Hale
was chosen to be tenn, orary Chairman of the
Convention. The Convention will he called to
order by Hon. VIM. P. Frye, active Chairman
of the State Committee.
