New Letter Cases.

Among the Improvements at the post
Office will be the substitution of the let
ter cases in place of the old ones. The
old style for placing the letters accord
ing to the classification has been the use
of single case which has outgrown its
capacity and convenience for the big in
crease in the corresponding business.
The new method will be the placement
of six new letter cases and two cases for
circulars which will be scattered about
the office to best satisfy the require
ments The new cases which are not so
large as the old one that has done the
entire business for some time, are made
of cherry and have much larger and
deeper boxes and have other modern adj
vantages. The cases arrived Tuesday
from Baltimore and were placed in posi-
ton Wednesday.

Freezing weather in the Harbor.

The lower bay continues frozen over,
and yesterday the water in the docks
was SKINNED over to considerable
thickness, while sheets Of thin ice ex-
tended out and even across the harbor in
some places. The upper harbor is frozen
quite hard. Yesterday afternoon, man
in dory started from the vicinity of the
Boston & Maine wharf to pull across to
the Atkinson wharf on the Cape side.
He got half way across when he was
stopped by the ice, which was all the
time freezing around him. He started
back, getting through the stiffening wa
ter with difficulty. AS it was getting
dusk he was still laboring in the midst
of the harbor, looking from distance
like fly in pan of milk.

Yesterday the counsel for the city OF
Portland in the matter of water rates,
Messrs. Rand and Larrabee. sent to
Chief Justice Peters a communication
asking him to fix an early date at which
the referees will hear the case. The ex-
pert examination of the Water Co pa
nys books has been partially completed
Messrs Rand and Larrabee have visited
and studied the works of other cities,
and the case of the water commissioners
is so far completed as to warrant the
beginning of the hearing in February.
This matter concerns the rates of the
individual water takers, and has nothing
to do with the city's $4,000 contract
which Mayor Ingraham brought up
before the cit government
Judge Enoch Foster is the refercerwith
Chief Justice Peters.

THOSE OYSTERS.
1t Is Not Quite Certain When the Common
Council Will Get Them.

The members of the common council,
whose mouths have been watering in ex-
pectation of the oyster supper which
President MCGOWAN of the council wag-
cred with Councilman John B. Kehoe,
will be obliged to wait awhile if present
appearances do not deceive. 1t was in
the course of the discussion over the or
der relating to the widening of the ferry
way in the recent special city govern
ment meeting that the controversy
arose. Mr.. Kehoe offered an amend
ment which President MCGOWAN ruled
out as not in order. There was consid-
cradle controversy, and finally an oyster
supper was wagered by the principals,
the common council to be the benficia-
ries. Messrs. MCGOWAN and Kehoe
made up an agreed statement of facts,
which they they submitted to Hon. j..
H. Drummond as an umpire. This is
the text of the agreed statement:
After an amendment to an order. or motion,
is once carried through body, IS announcer
amendment to the same order in order when
the original order as amended Is being put 10
the house? JOSEPH a. MCGOWAN,
JOHN b. KEHoE:
Upon this statement Mr.. Drummond
returned the following decision:
Another amendment might be in order or
might not be- 1t would depend upon the char
acter of the amendment and upon the particular
part of the order proposed to be amended:
j. H. d.
Mr.. Kehoe claims that this decision
renders it necessary for Mr.. MCGOWAN to
furnish the oysters; while Mr. MCGOWAN
claims that it puts the charming duty
upon Mr.. Kehoe.
Meanwhile the common council are in
that in escribable state OF anxiety
which colt feels when he looks over
the fence into clover field.
