General Buffers card, Of which we
publish an extract in another column,
fully cxoncrates him from tho very
serious charges made against him in
connection with tho Hamburg riot
Indeed, one of the points Iow in
doubt is, whether he was authorized
Ivy the negro trial justice, Prince
Rivers, to take steps to cheek the
rlotous conduct Of the miItiomcn.
1t seems clear that lie WAS SO nu-
thorizcd, though Rivers now denies
having given any such authority.
Another question Arises as to the
firing of tho first shot, though the
evidence points mainly, if not altos
gcthcr, to the negro militia Ms the
aggrcssors i'll this respect. At all
events, tho first person shot was
yoang Mcrriwethcr, who was fired
upon and instantly killed IVY nncgro.
We deem it but simple Justice to
mako these notifications of ou,.
former article on this subject, which
was written under impressions OBJ
tanned from evidence we had every
reason, to heicvs' both Trustworthy
nnd accurate. The killing of the
captured negroes seems yet to have
been without excuse, and has met
strong condcrlnationb by the press Of
tho State and people generally.

Portland Diapeunary.

The annual meeting of the Portland Dis
pensary was held yesterday afternoon at their
rooms in the City Building. The Secretary,
DIR. Hersom, reported that the dispensary had
been attended during the, past year by Drs
Ring, Brooks and Bray, with DR.. Spaulding as
oculist The amount of work done is as fol-
lows:-531 patients have been treated and ], 26O
prescriptions had been given. OF the patients,
the majority were Irish. The report was
accepted.
DR.. Webster, the Treasurer, read his report,
which shows that the annual amount collected
amouLtsvb but $500, and the cash on hand
amounts to SHIFT. The funds of the Society
are well invested. This report was accepted
The following Board of Managers was
elected for the ensuing year:-O. Gerrish, J. 7.
McCobb, A. Spring, T. G. Hersey. W. S. Dana,
III. M. Payson, j. w. Warehouse. At the
conclusion of the annual meeting the Board
met and organized as follows:
Chairman, o. Gerrish; Treasurer, DR.. g. E.
Webster; Secretary, DR.. N. Hersom; Consult
ing Physicians, DR.. C. w. Bray, DR.. Geo.
Cummings, DR.. E. Hunt.
1t was suggested that the bill Of the apothe-
cary was larger than the Society was able to
pay, and the chairman and W. S. Dana were
appointed committee to call upon the apothe-
cary and try to make better arrangements.
They were empowered to make the full arrange
ments for an apothecary for the ensuing year.
DR.. Weeks spoke of the great tendency there
was for people well able to pay for medicine to
apply for it at the dispensary. He thought a
close watch should be kept to prevent frauds of
this kind on the Society. The matter of APP
pointing committee to canvass for funds was
called up, but it was voted not to appoint such
a committee this year.

Will Mr.. Phelan please accept the sum of
fifteen dollars from us, 1.-THE Little HELPERS"
as contribution to his 'Poor's Purse"
Very Respectfully,
THE LITTLE HELPERS.
PORTLAND, April l, 1876.
My Dear Little Helpers:
AS was not at home yesterday when you
made that delightful little missionary cali at
No. 80 Paris St., take this way Of saying
THANK you every one for the generous dOna-
tion you made to my Poor's Purse" 1t was
little more than you SAID in your note-$15 10
and every little helps" you know. This will
help ever so much in these hard times. 1t will
put shoes upon IA pairs of little feet that else
might go bare; or it will buy quarter tons of
coal; or buy barrels of flour, and that will
make eight quarters which will be great
when hard pinch comes. So just think what
lots of aid and comfort you have thus brought
to some of Gods loor. When you think Of
this hope you will feel in some measure re.
paid for all your toll and effort You call
yourselves "Little Helpers now, but l am
sure you have started right to be "Big Help
ers" one of these days. l was sorry not to be
able to attend your entertainment. Next time
l trust that may be there to see. That God
may bless you every one is my sincere prayer
for the Little Helpers. w. T. PHELAN.
