GOVERNMENT BONDS IN PoBTLAND.-J. B
Brown & Sons have sold in Portland $150,000
of the new government four per cents. Swan
8, Barrett sold $15O,OOO of the four per cents
and 100000 of the four and half per cents
The latter bond the firm considered the best
bargain, as there was half per cent. more in
terest, and the difference in the price was but
three and three-eghts per cent, although it is
true the fours had fifteen years longer to run
than the others.
Mr.. Swan has received despatch from New
York, stating that the Syndicate had advanced
the price of the four per cents, now they have
come into their hands, half per cent in gold.
The fact that the bonds have met with so large
sale in this country will prove great card
for the Syndicate in marketing them abroad.

Fire in Marbiohead, Mass.

Boston, June 25.-At 2 o'clock
this morning fire broke out in the
rear Of the Marblehead Hotel, OF
Pleasant street, Marblehead, and from
this small beginning spread until
fifteen acres of buildings, including
every shoe factory but five in the
town, had been destroyed. The fire
department rallied with all possible
dispatch, but it was soon seen that
the fire was beyond their efforts to
control. Dispatches were sent to
Salem and Lynn for help.
The main source of the water sup.
ply was a brick pond reservoir and
over this was the Gen. Glover en-
gine-house. In the rear of the ems
CINE house was the building owned by
Jne. s. Marion and occupied by
Lyons 81 Collins, shoe manufacturers.
Only a few feet from this factory was
the barn in the rear of Marblehead
Hotel. The hotel itself stood about
twenty feet from the en- gine>house.
Thus the first result of the fire was
the Simultaneous burning of these
four buildings, and consequently the
fire department was virtually COM

SALE OF THoRoUGHBREDs-Fora
Temple.-The annual sale of yearlings
bred by Mr.. A. WEIGH, of the Chestnut
Hill farm, near Philadelphia, took place
on Tuesday. last. Fifteen yearlings,
thirteen by bennington and two by
Lyttleton, were sold for $4,000 an
average ofsl 900 each. The top figure,
$500, was brought by chestnut colt
by bennington, out of Maiden, bought
by P. Lorillard, who also bought a
bennington colt, out Of Susan Beane,
for 800. A reporter who was present
at the sale says groom opened stall
and the visitors saw poor looking,
decrepit old mare, with every bone in
her body standing out as if the flesh
was gradually wearing away, and the
eyes sunken and bleared. showing that
her sun had almost set. They did not
leave in disgust, but stood and looked
in silence at all that was left of the
famous Flora Temple, the Queen of
the Trotting Turf, that in her palmy
days could draw tens Of thousands to a
trotting match to see her move. Her
day of glory has passed away, and never
again will she be greeted with the APP
plause of thousands as she swings into
the home-stretch at twenty gait.
The old mare is now thirty-two years OF
age. and will soon pass away,

The PROPER MEDIUM FOR ADvER-
TIsING.-At late meeting Of the stove
manufacturers of the country at Detroit
the president denounced the Ineffective
and expensive advertising that had been
much INDUCED in by the trade, the
tawdry Autographs and other sensa-
tlonal machinery, and recommended
instead the more exclusive use of the
best newspapers. "Ifwe would make
the best possible use flour money"
he continued, 1--WE should patronize
ably conducted and responsible news
papers. The newspaper is immeasurably
the best medium open to our trade; the
most liberal and expert advertisers
testify to it's value, and in the employ
ment of its columns we would find a
means Of escape from wasteful, undig-
nified and ineffective methods, to which
so many resort in their eagerness to
secure attention and patronage" There
are Indications that, as if by common
instinct, these suggestions Of experience
and common sense are being adopted
by merchants. manufacturers and other
classes of the community having oc-
casion to engage in either purchasing
or selling.

"WHo WILL BELL THE CAT~-
Was the question anXiously asked by the
whites Of Virginia in the troubulous
days Of 1869. Like Douglas, of the
olden time, VIM. Malone. with the tact
and daring which have ever distinguish
ed him, undertook the dangerous task.
The self-imposed duty was boldly, skill
fully, and successfully executed; the
Radical tiger stripped of its teeth and
talens, and has ever since snarled il
impotent rage at the State rescued from
its clutches, and the hero who accom-.

The exercises at Princeton College
opened On Friday evening last, when
the freshman class began the fun by
assembling in front Of DR.. McCosh's
residence and bowling at the new.
corners, who were compelled to run a
regular gauntlet both in going in and
coming out. The supreme ambition Of
these gentlemen seemed to be to make
the youngsters grin, as result the per-
petrators are just now grinning on the
'other side oftheir mouths" The fun
waxed furious, and when Associate
Justice Strong, Of the United States
Supreme Court, came out and was
saluted until he smole a prodigious
smile, the venerable DIR. McCosh
thought the time had arrived for throw
ing in protest. 1t produced little
effect, and the boys went in for the
jolliest kind of time. AS result the
entire freshman class, numbering
Lightweight students, was suspended,
and an extra train took them out of
town Monday morning. The punish
ment, however, amounts to very little
as the present session ends this week
and the class will be readmitted at the
beginning of the next session.

A WARNING in almost every pa

A WARNlNG.-In almost every pa.
per may be read the advertisement
"Your names neatly printed on 50
cards for 10 cents postage paid, etc.
Every printer knows that the cost of
the cards furnished, which are of fine
board together with the work and
postage, will cost ten times ten cents.
How then can they make this traffic
pay? The answer is simply this; these
chaps thus gather in the names of
thousa nds ofgirls and boys through
out the country. These names are
sold to dealers in obscene books and
pictures, who then send circulars ad-
vertising their filthy goods. And
sometimes the men who print these
cheap visiting cards are in the OBJ
scene book and picture business
themselves. Parents should look out
for such things and Keep an eye on
the mail matter received by the their
children. Rig Lick Ne,es.
