The Tradamark Case.

The trademark casa came up in the Circuit
Court yesterday morning, on hearing upon an
application for temporary injunction to re-
strain the defendant from manufacturing and
vending cigars under the name of Normanda
cigars. The complainants, Michael Stricken
burg ct ais, claimed that they had for many
years manufactured and extensively sold su-
perior quality of cigars under the name of ola
Normandi," and that these cigars had gained
an excellent reputation in the New Englan d
States, and especially in Maine, and that the
defendants use Of the name "Normanda'' for
his cigars put up in a similar manner greatly
damaged his sales The Court remarked that
there was an entire lack of evidence that de-
fendant's "Normanda" were in any way in
ferior in quality to the eomplainants' "La Nor
mandi" cigars And for this reason, and be-
cause there was question of doubt ss to
which party would finally prove to be entitled
to the use of the term by having appropriated
it, the Court denied the motion for an injunc-
ton, but suggested that as a matter of pru-
dence it would be we'll for respondent to keep
an account of sales hereafter SO that if the
final decision of the Court should be adverse to
him he might be able to show him the extent
of the injury to compliments by this resolution
not having been q anted.

Society OF Natural History

Last evening DR.. Wood read paper on the
Putnams remarks before the Maine Historical
Society last December and said he did not pro-
pose to controvert Prof. Putnam but merely
to state what he had himself concluded after
many years of observations made particularly
By Mr.. Fuller and others of our own society.
The main features of these discoveries are:
LIST, an immense heap on the Damariscotta
river, composed almost exclusively of oyster
shells of very long variety. There are no
living oysters of any sort in the river and bay
adjoining. I'd, living oysters of another
variety can be fonnd to-day in the Sheepscot
river which is five miles or more west of the
Damariscotta, but there are no oyster shells in
the numerous shell heaps of the Sheepscot
Sd, furthermore all along the coast of Maine
are found clam she'll heaps as on the Sheepscot
without single oyster shell but containing
broken bones of animals, arrow heads etc.
4th, the Damariscotta variety of oyster is
found fossil in the mud of Portland harbor and
Back Cove but no living shell can be found
and no oyster she'll occurs in the Casco Bay
heaps excepting that one single specimen and
that of a still different variety has been found
on Goose Island. 9th, living oysters were
found about 200 years ago in Boston, and
possibly in Portland. 9th, the problem there
fore who made. the shell heap and when, is
difficult of solution. Many things point to
the Indians, but others to race earlier than
they SO that in our present light no theory
seems wholly satisfactory.
A large number of donations lay over for
the next meeting.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE LYCEUM.

IdE LlCEOMs
The Lyceum Theatre re-opened last evening.
The house has been considerably improved, is
heated and repainted, and should be we'll pat
ronized. An excellent performance is given,
including acts by Harry L. Rose, j. j. Jones,
Lottie Blanchard and Harvey Collins. There
will be matinee tomorrow.
THE MIGHTY DOLLAR.
AS the Hon. Bardwell Slote, Mr.. Florence
has achieved what can only be described as a
phenomenal success. The mighty Dollar"
has little merit either as a literary production
or stage work. and its success was entirely
owing to the superb acting of Mr.. Florence.
AS Judge Slote Mr.. Florence's success has
been astounding. In appearance Slote is en-
tirely unlike Florence. His makeup is SO
well conceived and so true to the character
that his Judge is at once recognized as ia
miliar figure everywhere. Before the creation
of this role many persons were inclined to re-
gard Florence as only a successful aetor-it
stamped him as great one. Other comedians
have succeeded because they played themselves
but in the creation of Slote he gave US a part
in which it is impossible to find any traces of
Florence. Mr.. Florence will appear in the
character at Portland Theatre tomorrow night.
NOTES.
There should be good audience at Vaughan
street chapel entertainment tomorrow eve-
ming. Miss Helen Coe ana Mr.. David Moul-
ton-if we'll enough-will read, and there will

The Murder of Henry Duroy

Illinois, gives brief particulars of the murder
of Henry Duroy at that place last Wednesday.
Mr.. Duroy was sick at home, lying on lounge.
Mr.. Body, his brother.in-law, came in just
before one o'clock in the afternoon Mr.. Du
roy asked him if he had been to dinner
Body answered that he had. Mrs. Duroy, in
an adjoining room, overheard the above con-
versation. Immediately after she heard pistol
shots, and, rushing in found her husband dy-
ing. The cause of the murder is attributed to
the insanity of the assassin. The family of
Body have for some generations been afflicted

roy with his wifes relatives had always been
very pleasant

The Battle of aettzsn,,rr.

Ex-Gov. Long in an article in the bingham
journal commenting on Cen. Stephenson's
lecture on the BATTLE of Gettysburg" says:
1.-THE lecture was given in response to the COM
plimentary invitation Of his fellow-citizens 1t
was a cordial tribute to patriotism in the per-
son of the soldier from bingham who attained
highest rank, and whose personal bravery has
been universally conceded and admired and will
not be forgotten. There was something dramatic
in the scene-a veteran describing the war S
most decisive and illustrious battle, his own
face Scared with its bullets. For the lecture
itself, it was interesting, instructive and at
times eloquent. Profusely illustrated with the
stereopticon, description of the fight and of
the movements of the armies. which is always
vague when read, became plain and pictur-
esque." The lecture will be given at City
Hall Thurs yening.
