The RAILROAD ADJUsTMENT.-The agree
ment entered into between the Boston & Maine
and Eastern is based on the pooling of all
competing business. The road that does the
business is to have 80 per cent of the receipts,

is to be divided equally between the two corpo-
rations. All freight cars of the Eastern road

between the two roads are considered settled
Each road is at liberty to inspect the free pass

HORATIO STApIl

THE attention of our readers is directed to
the card of Walter Corey & Co., which appears
to-day. This house has been known as the
leading establishment in the furniture business
in this city and state for over forty years. A
long attention to the wants Of the community
has brought large experience which the new
firm has at its command in the designing and
manufacture of goods, and this it is proposed to
turn to every advantage in novelties in work
and styles such as the times demand. Pur-
chasers will always find at this establishment
furniture of all grades, drapery and upholstery
of the newest patterns, the prices always the
lowest. These facts should be kept in mind
and when anything in their line is needed, give
them call.

A LITTLE STRIRE.-Some of the fish packers
in this city have for some time been intending
to reduce the price for packing mackerel. The
old price is six cents, and the general feeling is
that four is sufficient as the times are now. Ac-
cordingly on the arrival of fisherman with
mackerel for Chase & Cushing, the other day,
the packers were told that four cents was the
price to be paid. The packers refused to work
at that price, and intimated that no one else
should work at that price. New men were pro.
cured, however, and they went to work and
were not interfered WITH and now the price for
packing mackerel is four cents all over the CITY,

OPENING OF THE HOTEL DE PoNcE.-The
new Hotel de Ponce was opened for the summer
yesterday by Mr.. Ponce, the enterprising and
popular proprietor. The members of the city
government and good plumber of citizens re-
sponded to an invitation to attend the opening
AT 10. 80 Chambers Band headed the procession
of invited guests who had assembled at the
City Building, and they marched to Portland
Pier, where the steamer Magnet was in waiting
to take them to Long Island. The sail down
the harbor was short and very pleasant despite
the threatening weather. On arriving at the
hotel a game of base ball was started, but be-
fore one side had finished an inning the rain
began TO fall, and the hotel was eagerly sought
for. Judging from the commencement of the
game, it would have been full of interest if the
rain had not interrupted it, The City Messen-
ger proved an excellent pitcher, and when nee.
essary he would turn a somersault backwards
in order to accomplish his object. The Alder
men from wards one aud four acted as catch
ers. When one couldn't catch the ball the 9th
er did. Not single ball passed between Them
The Argus representative got good rap at the
ball and sent it into the hands of the pitcher,
and he passed it to the first base just before the
striker reached that spot, and the cruel verdict
of the empire was "Out on first base"
Soon after ~ o'clock fine dinner was served
in the spacious dining hall of the hotel. After
all had satisfied the inner man Mr.. Josiah Bur-
leigh called the company to order, and announc.
ed few short speeches in order. Remarks
were accordingly made by Councilmen Haskell
and Chaplain, DIR. Brooks and others, to which
remarks Mr.. Ponce responded. Mr.. Orvile
Robinson and Mr.. Charles Theadore, who were
present, amused the company with number
of humorous Rotations. Chambers Band also
furnished number of pleasing selections. At
ter thoroughly inspecting this fine summer ho-
tel the company embarked for the city, where
they arrived about O clock. Despite the rain
it was most enjoyable occasion, and Mr.. Ponce
has the thanks of the entire company for fur
nishing such an entertainment.

The Enfnnfry,s Anniyessary Excursion.


The Portland Light Infantry, Captain Cobb,
celebrated their 18th anniversary yesterday by
an excursion to Col. Mattocks farm, at East
Baldwin. Accompanied by Coles Band. which
discoursed excellent music, they started from
the Eastern depot shortly after o'clock, a1riv-
ing at East Baldwin about half past ten, imme-
diately after which the company with the hon
orary members and invited guests, partook of
an ample lunch. The most interesting part of
the days programme was the target practice,
which occurred ia the early part of the after
ternoon, and in which the company exhibited a
good degree of proficiency as marksmen. Ow-
ing to some misunderstanding as to who were
entitled to them, the prizes to the active mem
bers were not distributed, but await a satisfac.
tory decision. The shots of Lieut.. c. A. Wes-
ton, Sergt. w. f. Chase, j. j. Carter and Geo.
e. Lefavor were so near alike that it was inn
possible to tell who was entitled to the first and
second shots. The matter will be left to a COM
mittee or the contestants will try again.
The first prize to the honorary members, a
beautiful gold maltese cross, was won by Gen.
S. j. Anderson; the second, gold shield, by
Samuel league. A leather medal, the re ward
VI eAO poohCco udihSuiau, was WOu NY
Il. Galley, Esq These prizes were presented
by Capt. Cobb in few appropriate remarks,
and responded to briefly and happily by each of
the recipients.
AT the conclusion Of the target practice an
excellent dinner was served, to which all did
ample justice, after which the excursionisls re-
turned home, having enjoyed a very pleasant
reunion. The only unpleasant feature of the
affair was the rain, but as from past experience
on their anniversary days, wet weather was an
ticipated, the company were not very much dis
appointed. Altogether, it was very pleasant
affair, and the friends of the company wish
them many happy returns of the day in the fu-
ture.
1t is but justice to say that Mr.. Norton, the
proprietor of that excellent hotel, the Saco Riv-
er House, did everything in his power for th e
pleasant entertainment Of the company.

BIOLOGICAL EXCURSION. -Thursday the third
class of the High School, under the efficient
guidance of their teachers, went on natural
history expedition to Long Island. Having
made their preparations beforehand, they were
off bright and early and arrived at the island
before the dew had hardly disappeared. The
forenoon was spent in collecting specimens,
which. though few in number. were the very
cream Of rarity. They consisted of few sea
anemones, star fish, one large jelly fish, and
last but not least, hermit crab, which had
shuffled off this mortal coil before the hands of
the spoilers reached him. After dinner being
satiated with conquest, they strolled over the
island, bent on having good time. When the
time for leaving came there were not many who
were not sorry that the day had so quickly end
ed. The weather was all that could be desired
for the trip, and the accidents were few and Tot
at ali of lamentable character. The salt
breath of old Neptune seems to have sharpen
ed the wits of some of the Glass; to Judge by
their improved reco!lections since the excursion.
