GEN. GRANT.

New YORK, May 21.--Gen. Grant slept FIVE
hours last night, but this small amount Of
sleep was not owing particularly to pain. This
morning anu today he has felt very bright and
has dictated some matter for his book, At
13O he went out for q drive.
The Generals drive did not improve him,
and he spent ve1y restless and painful after
noon, His throat felt SO bad that he discontin-
ued distation. The General is nervous and
restless, and not as we'll as for the last few
days.
Saturdays number of the Medical Record
Will contain the following: During the past
week Gen. Grant has been .in o comparatively
comfortable condition. He obtains a full
amount OF sleep, takes nourishment without
difficulty, and is quite free from pain. At a
consultation May 18th, Drs. Sands, Shrady
and Douglass being present, it was found that
the swelling un1er the angle of the jaw on the
right side, had increased in size, that the
glands were still indufated ane deeply fixed,
and also that there was a tendency toward
ditfused ittiltration into the adjoining tissues
Of the upper and anterior portions Of the neck.
There was consequently some rigidity Of the
jaws, preventing wide opening of the mouth,
this in measure, interfering with the exami-
nation of the throat The liberation on the
right side of the base of the tongue showed a
tendency to extend backward, was more exca-
waited and had elevated and indurated the
border. At the examination Wednesday m ade
by Drs. Douglass aud Shrady, the local copdi.
tons we're found unchanged.

best of authority: Riel took an active part

territorial elections, having become an Ameri-
can citizen there, and he created considerable
excitement in the elections referred to, being
an active worker for the Republicans. After
these elections were over he was prosecuted on
a charge of having induced several half breeds
20 vote, although they had not the necessary
qualifications, but before the prosecution had
got fairly underway he fed to his old home at
st. Vital, Mon, but he subsequently, returned
to Montana on flying visit, and removed his
family to st. Bonifsce, Manitoba. Then, in
the fall of 1883 he went up into the Saskatche-
wan country, where he has been ever since.

The Falmouths won the first game last night in
the local tournament, defeating the Congress rink
team in three straight goals. There was little
science displayed, but the vigor with which the
players fell down and threw their hockeys after the
ball gave the game considerable interest. The first
goal was won for the Famouths after fifteen
minutes considerable of the time being lost
broken skates. The second won after ten
minutes rough and tumble work, and five minutes
scrambling after the ball it for the third time
into the goal of the Congress team. During the
excitement, one Of the players received blow just
over the eye, necesstating his leaving the floor for
repairs.

In relation to the petition of the Portland and
Cape Elisabeth Ferry Company, ated May IL.
The duty of this Board seems perfectly clear in
deciding that any wharf built from the water front
lying between Spears and the Railway Wharf,
should paralal with these wharves and at right
angles to the Harbor Commissioner line; and also
that the wharf should be placed seveDty-hve feet
from any other structure. 10 recommend the Ioca-
tion of a wharf extending from the Butler lot, In
any other place. at any other angle, would in our
opinion be detrimental to the public interest. The
petition is granted.
