High street.

Mr. EDIToR.-The PRESS informs us that
the Boston and Maine Railroad raised their
roadbed Sunday, underneath the High street
bridge, two feet, nine inches above the adjoin
ing culvert. 1t was two feet or more above the
drain before the raising. Evidently the whole
road at the point could have been lowered in
stead of raised, and lowered even more than it
was raised, without involving any difficulties
with standing water. 1t has been suggested
that the road is seeking by this device to make
justification for building the bridge and grade
SO high. If so, it will hardly succeed For
months it has been using it's track under the
Park street bridge-a bridge built by itself, to
suit its own notions-and has mar aged to get
along without particle of inconvenience, so
far as appears. There is no need, then, that
High street bridge should be any higher than
the Park street. The rights of the people OF
Portland in the use of High street forbid it
shall be higher. Gentlemen Of the City Conn-

MYSTERIOUS Yesterday morning gentle
man named Norton was st landing in Winslow's
provision store in Market Square, leisurely
smoking his cigar. He suddenly stopped smok-
ing for he had no longer any cigar to smoke,
the half consumed fragment of the weed flying
out of his lips. At the same moment, almost,
Mr.. A. Z. Winslow, who was standing at a
table close at hand, felt sharp rap on his side
and saw mimic ball aatten itself on the wall
near by. 1t seems that the ball, nearly spent,
struck the cigar from Mr.. Norton's lips, gave
Mr.. Winslow gentle reminder of its prese nee
and then, after vainly butting the wall, fell to
the floor. The gentlemen who had such mar
row escape are anxious to know where the ball
came from.
