ROLLER SIX ATING RINK.
a Brilliant Carnival Tonight.

This resort daily grows in popularity as is
evidenced by the increase in patronage through
out the winter. Every week has shown i'm
provement in this respect, and last week the
business was far in excess of any previous
week for the season. The reasons for this are
not far to seek. The management have stead
lily sought the comfort and pleasure of patrons;
excellent order has always been maintained,
and the special entertainments have been iu-
diciously chosen and varied. The effort has
ever been to bave the last exceed in interest
all that have preceded.
Tonight occurs the most beautiful of the
season. The ectric lights will be dispensed
with on this occasion, and some 500 or 600 Chi
rese, American and Japanese lanterns, she'd
ding soft radiance of every conceivable tint
and shade of color. are to be substituted. The
grouping and arrangement would reflect credit
upon a professional decorator. AT regular in
tervals are suspended magnificent chandeliers,
consisting of large elaborate centre lamps,
about which are artistically grouped many
hued smaller ones. From these radiate fes-
toons of variegated lanterns, and innumerable
| others are strung across balconies, and wher-
ever else they may best serve as illuminants
and heighten the general effect. When all
are lighted the scene suggests fairy land.
That the rink will tonight be thronged
by lovers of this rational and healthful amuse-
ment, goes without saying, and the manage
ment will again find their efforts fully appre-
ciated. The decorations, we are informed, ara
to remain hereafter as permanent attractions
| of the rink.

The warrant for the annual town meeting,
which occurs on next Monday, is out and is
made up of tnirty-fve articles, the first ten or
twelve of which refer to the election of town
officers, the raising of money for roads and
bridges, the pay of help employed by the
town, &c. Article 10Th calls for three more
hydrants to be located in this village and
Cumberland Mills. The 10th aud 18th srti-
cles relate to the purchase of 1000 feet of hose
and a steam fire engine. The next article is
to see if the town will build school house at
Cumberland Mills, as the building now in
use there is insufficient to accommodate the
large number of scholars in that thriving viii
lage. Article 10Th calls for board of health
The three articles following ask the town to ac-
cept new streets that have been laid out dur
ing the past year. The remaining sections Of
the warrant are devoted TO sewers, sidewalks,
crushed stone for streets, the acceptance of a
list OF Jurors prepared by the town officers,
etc.
The Odd Fellows of this village have decid-
ed to hold five days fair, on the completion

as directors: j. X. Dunn, Geo. F. johnson,

ALLEGED SMUGGLING.
The Purser and Doctor of the Nova SEQ
tian in Trouble.

Last Saturday morning U. S. Inspector Dali
ton, on duty on the Grand Trunk wharves, OBJ
served a gentleman leave the Allan steamer
Nova Scotian and saunter up the wharf, hav-
ing in his hands a bundle done up in q news
paper, with pile of newspapers on top In
spector Dalton walked up to the man and ask
ed him what he was carrying. The gentleman
inquired what business it was of his. The In
spector replied, naming his office. The gem
tleman then said he had can of tobacco for
his own use and that he was Mr.. John Whit
ty, the Purser OF the ship. The Inspector
opened the can and found it contained about
two pounds of muriate of morphia. valued at
1878 to $400lan ounce, and bearing duty of
one dollar at ounce.
When the Purser saw the morphia he de-
clared he had made a mistake and taken up a
can OF morDhia instead of his own can of to.
bacco. The Inspector returned to the ship
with him and taxed him with smuggling
VIII CHI the Purser denied Finally he said he
had been given the morphia by the Doctor to
bring on shore for him.
Inspector Dalton, who had had his suspio-
ions aroused for some time as to what was GO
ing on, then proceeded to search after the
struggled goods. He found four separate pack
ages, one at an apothecary's in town, making
in all eight pounds eight ounces of the expen
sive drug. The Purser, Mr.. Witty, and the
Surgeon, Dr.. Cook, were arrested Yesterday
and brought before Commissioner Rand. Dis
trict Attorney Lunt appeared for the govern
ment and Gen. G. P. Mattocks for the prison
ers. They pleaded not guilty and were ordered
to recognize for their appearance, from day to
day. in the sum of $500 each. La default Of
bail they were ordered to be committed. The
doctor insisted the Purser was blameless in the
matter, but the authorities were not SO well
satisfied.

PoRTLAND's POET.
An English Opinion of Our Laureate.

The latest edition of the Encyclopedias
Britannica, now going through the press, has
biographical and critical sketch of Mr..
Longfelow that has excited wide attention.
The article is of great length, and cannot be
fully copied here. But, on this, the birth day
of the poet, we cannot resist quoting this Just
and tender tribute to the personal worth of the
most famous of Portlands sons:
AS man Lonqfellow was almost perfect,
as much so as IL is ever given TO human nature
TO be. A man In intellect and courage, yet
without conceit or bravado; a woman In sensi-
bility and tenderness, yet without shrinking
or weakness; saint in purity Of life, and de-
votion OF heart, yet without asceticism or relig-
iosity; knight-errant in hatred OF wrong and
contempt of baseness, yets without self-right-
eousness or cynicism; a prince in dignity and
courtesy, yet without formality or condescen-
sion; poet in thought and feeling, yet with
out jealousy or affpctation; scholar in tastes
and habits, yet without aloofness or bookish-
ness; a dutifnl son, loving husband, Judic-
ious father, trusty friend, useful citizen,
and an enthusiastic patriot he united in bis
strong, transparent humanity almost every
virtue under heaven. A thoroughly healthy,
wel-halatced, harmonious nature, accepting
life as it came, with all its joys and sorrows,
and living it beautifully and hopefully, with
out cahker and without uncharity. No man
ever lived more completely in the light than
