Board of Trade.

A special meeting of the Board of Trade
was held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, to
see what action should be taken in regard to
entertaining the Vermont visitors.
The president, Geo. w. Woodman, stated the
object of the meeting, and called upon Gen.
Anderson to state his knowledge of the excur-
sion. 3
Gen. Anderson stated that he had received a
letter from Hon. Horace Fairbanks, who said
that the Vermont merchants were anxious to
see if they couldsmake business relations with
our merchants, and if they can form such con-
nection SO as to give Portland the business that
they have formerly given to Boston. Gen.
Anderson thought that this visit was of the
greatest Importance to our merchants He
thought that freight could not be carried
through the Notch to advantage at present,
but that Portland should form The acquaint.
ance of these men, so that when the connec-
ton is made they could be all ready for bust
ness. He offered to carry the delegation to
Bemis station, free of charge, to meet the
excursionsts.
Hon. j. B. Brown thought that we should
spare no pains to make the acquaintance of the
distinguished visitors He thought that they
should meet them as the business men of the
city, and not as the Board of Trade.
j. S. Bedow, Esq, thought the entertain
ment to be given them should be in the even
ing.
w. S. Dana, Esq, thought that there should

A PHYSICIAN IN TRoUBLE.-There was con-
siderable talk in Augusta last Friday and Sat-
urday, growing out of an indecent assault by a
special physician, who was temporarily resid
ing there upon the daughter of we'll known
and highly respectable resident of that city,
who was patient. The man was arrested
there, gave the officer sum of money as Sc
curity to appear when called for. Saturday he
took the train partly disguised for the purpose
of leaving. His escape was discovered and
the Augusta officers telegraphed to the police
here. From what we can learn the man was
found, but the matter being adjusted in some
way after his arrest was announced in Augusta
by friends there, it is understood that he was
set at liberty. The police authorities affect to
know nothing of it here, but it is evident that
they know more of the matter than they will
tell, for Saturday at two o'clock, a policeman
inquired of several persons if they knew DR..
--, whom they had an order to arrest The
accused declares that it is put up Sob"
Since writing the above, an Augusta despatch
gives the name of the physician and states that
the matter has not been settled, and that the
fellow has again disappeared.

THE MUsEUM.-The audience at the Museum
last night was very good, considering the bad

were introduced and the play ran more smooth
by than on any preceding night. Miss Isadore
Cameron played with her usual power and her
sister was received with the same favor as on
previous nights. The death scene was rendered
considerably more effective by improved play
ling on the part Of Mr. Lonsdale. 1t is hardly
possible to speak too highly of Miss Cameron $
acting in this scene, and it is pity it sh ould
The marred by lack of support.
