THE science OF COP, MAN AND THE
DEVIL, Mr.. William Morse Wiswell, now of
Lynn, formerly of Portland, delivered aIlecture
on the above subject at Congress Hall last eve
ming. His audience was small, but made up in
enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers The
speaker was supported by that worthy young
man who ties and unties himself in front of the
post-ofice occasionally, and we believe it was
intended that he should illustrate the third
branch of Mr.. Wiswell's subject, viz, the
science of the devil, by performing his post
Office feats. Mr.. Wiswell touched upon phre-
nology, physiognomy, perpetual motion, fly
ing machines, gulf stream, electricity and SO

orite expression.) His flying machine will be
tie wonder of thoniEeteenth century. 1t is to

with wings 80 feet wide, cork breast and
frame of whalebone. Passengers are expected
to enter through the br rs bill and walk down
its throat and take seats in the stomach. This
continuance he thinks will abolish ocean
steamers. Mr. w. announced some other
startling invention, and discoveries, which will
in due time burst upon the world.

known. 1t was first discovered in the lower
part of the house, near the stove. The families
saved their furniture, although in "a damaged
condition. There was no insurance on the
building The owner amused the crowd by
cautioning the fremen not to break the glass
as the building was not insured. The furniture
was Injured mostly by the carelessness of the
owners of it. They would take trunk, and
instead of passing it down stairs, throw it OUT

Superior Court.
NOVEMBER CIVIL TERM, 1874, syMoNDs, j., pREsID

FRIDAY.-Thomas woodward ct al. vs.. David !.
Fernald. This was an action against the General
Inspector of Fish damages alleged to have
been caused by the fault of James Frye Of Camden,
a deputy inspector, in not properly inspecting and
branding fifts-eight barrels of mackerel.
The fish laws of this state provide that mackere
to be branded No. must be of the best quality, not
mutilated well struck with salt, measuring not less
than thirteen inches from the extremity of the head
to the crotch or fork Of the TAIL and free from rust
faint or damage.
These mackerel were packed by James Frye Of
Camden in August, 1874, bearing his inspection
brand and Immediately shipped to this city by boat
and thence by boat to New York. The plaintiffs put
In large amount of testimony to the effect that up
on their arrival in New York they examined them
and found that from quarter to one-third of them
were thin of poor and inferior quality and mcasur
ing sss than thirteen inches many being as short as
eleven inches The plaintiffs reshipped ten barrels
back to Portland for renspection, disposng Of the
remaining forty-eight barrels, they say, at large
discount. a. ~ -.r.4 asf
The ten barrels were examined by about every
deputy inspector in the city and some old cullers Of
fish, and the testimony as to their condition at
time was very conflicting, some saying the fish were
number one with the exception ola little rust caused
by the pickle getting OUT others that there were ten
to fifteen pounds in every barrel less than thirteen
inches and thin and poor in quality.
The defense put in the testimony of the deputy in
spector and those who packed and culled these sa,
that when packed they were of good quality and
number in every respect; that they were in good
condition when skipped; that if the fish were in any
other condition afterwards it from some causes
occurring after they left their hands Verdict Tor the

The GENEVA CRoss-This celebrated drama
by Mr. Geo. Fawcett Rowe, which has achiev-
ed immense popularity throughout the United
States, has at length been transferred to the
boards of the Adelphi Theatre in Londo n.
There its success was assured, and the all pow
erfu voice of the Times pronounced it as fresh
in language, healthy in tone, and exciting in
representation. The author is the great origi-
nal Micawber and in that character and the
hero of the Geneva Cross will appear at the
Portland Museum on Christmas week.
