Visit of the Worcester Light Infantry

Visit Of the Worcester Light Infantry.
The 9th of June is near at hand, and the
coming visit of the Worcester Light Infantry is
now the chief topic of conversation in military
circles The trip of the Portland Light Infan-
try to Worcester last year, and the very bril-
liant and cordial reception they received at the
hands of the W. L. l. and the citizens general
ly, linger fresh in the memories Of all who were
present on that occasion. Now that the 2. l..
/. have an opportunity to return the compi-
ment, it is their earnest wish and desire that
the reception of the visitors shall be no less
cordial nor their stay less pleasant than was
theirs when in Worcester, while it is their
hope if possible, to Guido them in hospitality.
To accomplish this, it is only necessary for the
past and honorary members and the citizens
generally to lend the company all the assis-
tance required, and success is assured. Dnring
their stay here the visitors will be quartered at
the Falmouth. The banquet will be given at
the same place. The several military compan-
les will be invited to join in the parade, which
will be made after the return from the islands,
and II il proDosed to have dress parade on the
Western Promenade. Chapder's Band has
baen engaged for the day and the banquet in
the evening. This, with the presence OF the
Worcester brass band, ensures good musician
essential feature of all military gatherings.

The Rocknort Harpor of Refuge.

Speaking of the intended harbor of refuge at
Rockport, Mass, for which petitions have
been signed in this city, correspondent of the
Herald says: "Of the 10000 vessels that pass
this cape yearly, many are in bad condition,
and need place of refuge where they can re-
pair damages and reft to perform their respec-
tive voyages. In the winter season many YES
sells are driven off the coast, and the men suf-
fer extremely before they can gain port.
Most of this would be obyiated were there a
harbor at that place, and it should be e fore
most duty of the States from Maine to Texas,
to instruct their Congressman to give their at
tsntion to this great national object Com
merce demands it, the seafaring man demands
it, the nation and the world demand it,"

A Protest.


To the Editor Of the Press:
Permit me to protest, in the PRESS, againsl
the repeated publication in other journals of
what are called Summaries of the result OF
Republican caucuses. Such summaries as
heretofore published will be likely, though
perhaps not Intentionally, to- deceive the pub
lie as to the true situation. The first summary
in the Advertiser, on which the others are
based, shows in Westbrook but one vote ont Of
six for Col Robbie, whereas in point of fact
the Colonel will receive the votes of the en-
tire delegation, with possibly one exception.
In Yarmouth four votes are given to Thomas,
whereas ROBBIE will certainly receive two at
least of the number In the case of Freeport
the spirit of prophecy was invoked, and the
entire delegation given to Thomas, whereas
the caucus at which delegates were chosen was
not held until the day after the publication of
the summary. :, The object OF citing these in IN
stances is to illustrate the errors into winch
partizan zeal may lead honest men, and to
warn the public not to place too implicit conf
dence in such preliminary estimates.
