The wife of Clarence A. Carver Of East Knox,
Me-. will be grateful for any information concern
ing the where abouts of her husband Of whom she
has lost all trace since last May. He shipped the
18th of March in Camden, on board schooner
bound to Fortress Monroe; thence to Newbury
port. Mas, The last word from him was dated
MAY 18th from Salisbury Mass, requesting his
wife 10 direct to Amesbury Mills; she immediate

We have already announced the concert to be
given on Monday evening, at Granite Hall, by
Prof. earns, the blind musician. We have since
examined the wonderful organ Of his own con-
trivance, on which he plays with his hands, feet,
knees, arms, and we were about to say teeth-snd
its wonderful power has not at all been overstated
by those who Lave heard it, And when we con-
4 der that it is the work Of genius whose eyes
hive never beheld any Of the wonders of creation'
the mystery grows. The concert which the Pro-
fessor will give will show the wonderful capacities
of an intelligent being. He does not appeal to the
public because he is blind, but because he has an
instructive and elevatng entertainment.

Count Andrassy, the Austrian prime minister,
has submitted 10 St. Petersburg the proposal he
was entrusted with. He enumerates the reforms
Turkey should pledge to the insurgents, and the
guarantees the great powers should demand for
their fulfilment. Prince Bismarck and Prince
Gortschakoff have discussed the leading points

therein. As soon as the three imperial govern

Lord Derby said in reply that he thought there
was no reason to believe that Egypt contemplated
