STATE STREET CoNoERT.-We would say for
the benefit of our young friends who do not
quite understand about the floral concert on the
Fourth" that there will be no procession, but
when the hour arrives the singers will be in
their places on the stage, which will be prepar.
ed for them beneath the beautiful elms near
the State street church. Each one will be fur
nished with flag at the last rehearsal before
the concert.
Remember the first rehearsal Saturday June
21st) in City Hall, at q o'clock. Tickets will
be distributed as soon as the chorus is formed,
efter which, no new ones will be added.

MAINS REAcTIoNARY LIFTER-We visited
this novel and newly patented machine yester.,
day at the room of J. II Gaubert, Fluent
Block. We entered the room a skeptic and
left firm believer in his method of treatment
The machine is little affair, aud consists of a
series of splendidly adjusted fulcrums. The
manner of using it is simple, easy and-delight-
full. Every muscle in the body is gently exer-
cised aud one is surprised to find that he has
really lifted $50 or 800 pounds. Ladies can al
so exercies without change of garments. We
ADVISE all who desire gentle and thorough
exercise which will move every muscle in the
body in ten or fifteen minutes, to give Mr.. eau

Commercial Street Il. r.. Crossing.

nIh GDIIOh,-IU SUCH OF your CORRESPOND
ents as enquired whether the Boston and Maine
Railroad propose to cross Commercial Street at
three different localities, a little reflection
would have saved the trouble of asking and have
suggested at once the following answers, viz:
LIST. The Boston and Maine Railroad can desire
crossing only for the purpose of connecting
with their wharf property, and with the Grand
Trunk Railway and through them with the
other wharves of the city, and therefore do not
need three crossings. End The Boston and
Maine Railroad have no special privileges, nor
any not given them by the general laws of the
State; and therefore cannot cross without the
consent of the municipal officers of Portland,
and then only upon such terms and conditions
as such officers may prescribe. Sd. After the
great expense the Boston and Maine Railroad
have incurred in this city to avoid grade cross
ings, it is not to be supposed they will now I'M
necessarily seek them.
From the time the above named Railroad
commenced their extension towards Portland
it must have been clear to them and to orr cit
liens, that the interests both of the Railroad
and its customers here, required the Rail-
road should reach the wharf property
on the south side of Commercial Street.
Precisely how the railroad should reach it
and at what point, of course could not be made
certain until the enterprise was somewhat adj
vanced, property on the south side of the street
secured, and the practical relations of matters
so far developed as to enable the Railroad and
Municipal authorities to cooper ate in meeting
the necessities of business with the least detri-
ment to other interests on the street.
The right of the Railroad to locate their line
az they were advised, expired Feb. II, 1872.
For the purpose, among others, of having time
to adjust properly this very matter, the Corpor-
alton applied to the Legislature for an extern
sion of the time of location. This request was
one which had never before been refused to any
railroad while actually in process of construction
as this one then was; and YET, the most powerful
railroad lobby ever organized in Maine,
and which was so pow ?rful that, this last ses-
sion it was able to give the Eastern and Maine
Central Railroads possible right to appropri-
ate the streets of Portland, without her con
SENT and in the face of her remonstrances, de-
feated the requested legislation, and did this
SO late in February, 1872, that the Boston and
Maine Railroad were compelled forthwith to
make so many locations across Commercial
street, as would enable them to choose with
consent of the Municipal authorities the route
which might thereafter be shown necessary by
future purchases of wharf property or other
contingencies.
Now, having obtained Smiths wharf they de-
sire to reach it aud at the same time make the
Grand Trunk connection, and their petition Cor
leave to do this is pending before the Mayor
and Aldermen. Verv resi- ectfully,
WILLIAM L. PUTNAM.

CANANDAIGUA, N. Y, June 19.-This after
noon Judge Selden made motion in the case
of Mrs. Anthony for new trial upon the ground
OF misdirectior of the Judge in ordering a ver-
dict OF guilty without submitting the case to the
jury. The District Attorney replied when the
court in a brief of the argument of the counsel
denied the motion, the District Attorney i'm
mediately moved that judgement be pronounc-
ed upon the defendant. The court made the
usual enquiry of Miss Anthony If sic bad any
thing to say why sentence should not be pro-
nounced. Miss Anthony said she had a great
many things to say, and declared that in her
trial every principle of justice had been violat-
ed, that every right had been denied, that she
had had no trial by her peers; that the court
and jurors were her political superiors and not
her peers and announced her determination to
continue her labors till equality was obtained
and was proceeding to discuss the question in
volved in the case when she was interrupted by
the court with the remark that these questions
could not be reviewed.
Judge Hunt then said that the Judgment of
the court is that you pay fine of 800 and the
costs OF prosecution, and Immediately added,
There is no order that you stand committed
until the fine is paid, and so the trial is ended
motion for new trial is to be made in the
case of the inspectors tomorrow morning. on
thd ground that Hail. one of the defendants
was absent during the trial. cs
