BURGLARY.-The family of Mr.. John E.
Palmer, who owns large millinery establish
ment on Middle street, has been passing few
days of the hot season at the Old Orchard
Beach. Yesterday Mr.. Palmer returned as u.s.
nal to attend to his business, and went to his
residence, corner of Winter and Spring streets.
Upon entering the house surprising scene
met his astonished eyes. All the furniture
was thrown into the utmost confusion, disorder
reigned supreme, and everything indicated
that some thief had entered the house In the
absence of the inmates. After careful in
vestigation Mr.. Palmer ascertained that two
silver watches, ten dollars in money and a
small savings bank containing quite sum had
been stolen. 1t was at first feare that $500
worth Of jewelry belonging to Mrs. Palmer
had been taken, but a telegram from her stat
ing that she bad the jewelry with her was re-
ceived. The burglars, without doubt had en-
tered the stable, and then bored a hole through
the door of a connecting shed SC as to lift the
hasp. After that it was an easy matter for
them to enter the dwelling.
The dwellings of VIM. g. How, corner of
Congress and High streets, and Of Lewis T.
Brown, 65 park street, were also entered by
thieves Wednesday night and several articles
stolen. These, we believe, are almost entirely
owing to negligence and should be warning
to people to lock their doors when they leave
home.

Exchange Street.

The repaving of the old part of Exchange
tstreet reminds me that this was the first paved
street in Portland. Some cutters had previ-
ously been paved with beach cobble stones, but
this was the first street to be paved the entire
width. 1t was paved in 1884. Jonathan Dow,
who had also been the second Mayor, was
he Commissioner of streets, and John Ander-
son was Mayor. OF the board of Aldermen for
that year none are alive, and of the Council,
VIM. W. Thomas, Daniel Winslow and Martin
Gore only remain.
As I write, memory brings before me the
business men on Exchange street AZ years ago.
The venerable and esteemed citizen, Henry S.
Pearson has been continuously pursuing his
business, (watches and nautical instruments)
on Exchange street for IS years, with pros
pect of more years before hm-he is now ST.
The next in seniority is John Bar
bour (boots and shoes) who has been
in business on the same site fifty years COM
mencing as partner with his father.
j. S. Bailey was in business there in 1884, and
is now but he has not been continuously there.
Besides those already named, the following
business men are recollected as having places
of business on the street in 1884. Oliver Ger
IRISH, S. a. Colesworthy, Henry Quincy, and
G. and G. Marks. There may be others whom
I do rot recall Exchange street then extended
from Fore to Middle street only-beyond that
it was Court street until 1887. w. G.

+ THE ZoUAvEs.--The Tilden Zouaves went
out to Biddeford last night to serenade the
Hon. John M. Goodwin. There were about
sixty Of them in line, and Chambers Band land
the drum corps which has succeeded in making
the corner of Middle and Exchange streets
place to be avoided for several weeks past,
furnished the music. They marched up Con-
gress and down High streets to the depot, and
as there were no bulls in the street to take Of
fence at their gaudy breeches, they got on
board in tolerably good condition. At Bidde-
ford they succeeded in collecting crowd and
stood round Mr.. Goodwin's house while the
band serena1ed him. Mr.. Goodwin responded
first with speech, and then with sandwiches
and lemonade in the back yard. He told them
it was very wong to be personal, that he didn't
intend to be personal but Of course didn't refer to
the fact that he is standing on Platform which
contains gross assault upon the executive of
the state and senator in Congress- On
the whole the Zouaves enjoyed the back yard
more than the speeches, though lemonade is not
very warming. When they got back to this
city they called on Gen Anderson, but the Gen
eral was at the islands or mountains or some
where else, SO. after marching a spell to settle
their sandwiches, they put themselves in their
little beds, with cheer or two for "Uncl e

COUNTY TREASURER.
Considerable interest was manifested over the
candidacy for County Treasurer Col. Perley
of Bridgton, presented the name of Benz. G.
Stone, Esq, of that town, and urged that gem
tleran's nomination. B. T. Chase ESQ., took
occasion to declare the statement made in the

not support Mr.. Fessenden last year as without
a shadow of foundation. Mr.. Stone, as a mem
Der of the Republican town committee, and
individually as Republican, did all in his pow
er to prevent any action by Republicans in that
section hostile to Mr.. Fessenden. Col Robio
presented the name of Lewis Mcclellan of Cor
ham He had, as clerk of the County Treas
urer, done the business of the Office the past
two years, aDd he had served the county most
acceptably. In reply to question respecting
the vote of Mr.. Mcclellan last fall, Col. ROBBIE
said that Mr.. Mcclellan voted for Mr. Dixie, the
Republican nominee for Treasurer. Gen. Mat
tockr in behalf of the Portland delegation and
those of Sebago and Baldwin, presented the
name Of Oliver d. Dixie of Sebago, and urged
his nomination on the score of usage. John
Woodbury., Esq, of Falmouth presented the
name of Smith Barber of that town. Messrs.
Robbie of Gorham, Hale of Portland, and Brown
of Bridgton, were designated committee to
receiAe, sort and count votes for candidate for

lows:
