Capt. A. Clark, Register of Deeds, is re
covering slowly from bis protracted sickness.
Mission Sabbath Schools arc being estab
lished in the outskirts of the city, by the
Angusta V. M. C. A.
Rutter has been reported ns active. Some
hu'ter offered for sale ought to he active if
strength has anything to do with activity.
C. \V. Jackson, who has been at the Na
tional Asylum for more than a year, is a most
efficient and capable police officer.
It is stated, and upon good authority, that
a new daily paper is shortly to be started in
Rangor. It will be Republican in its pol
itics.
The proprietor of Hriek’s Roston Express
has facilities for transporting packages which
must ensure an enlargement of his business.
Fruit dealers, by patronizing this line, may
be sure of having their orders attended to
promptly.
We learn that Col. Horace L. l’ike has de
clined the appointment of Consul General to
Tampico, Mexico, which was tendered him
some weeks ago. Col. Pike should have a
position on the editorial staff of some live
newspaper. He wields a ready pen.
We understand that a petition is in circula
tion praying the city fathers to tax dogs. A
petition to either tax or kill them sfiould re
ceive numerous signatures. A large hull-dog
chasing a full grown terrier over a carefully
made vegetable bed in the garden answers the
purpose of a sub-soil plow.
The “Ilallowell Gazette” has ceased to ex
ist. In its place, Mr. Henry Chase, the pub
lisher, has presented to his patrons a hand
some quarto sheet, bearing the name of the
“Saturday Gazette.” It is larger than the old
paper, contains more reading matter and is
in a better form for preservation than before.
It has its usual local department and a greater
circulation. The subscription price has not
been increased.
The commissioners to investigate the
charges against towns for men not put into the
service during the war, will meet at the enp
itol to-dav. to enter upon the duties of their
office. It is understood that their proceed*
f ing will notbe publicly reported until the inves
tigation shall have been completed. The
commission is composed of the following
named gentlemen: Hon. George F. Talbot,
Portland; Gen. Selden Connor, Augusta;
Hun. Abram Sanborn, llangor.
The number of sheep destroyed in five
counties in this State last year by dogs, was
fourteen hundred ! The number destroyed by :
dogs in 417 counties in the I'nited States was
99.547, and as many more were wounded.
This involves an actual loss of $2,000,000, |
and a constructive and none the less real loss
to production of many millions more. New
Jersey, which as a State is behind some of its
sisters in many respects, last winter protected
its sheep-misers by laying a tax of $2 on the
owner of every male dog. and $3 on the owner
every female dog.
A young man representing himself to be a
lather, made application for board at a board
ing house on Elm street, in this city. Just
before the dinner hour he was shown to the
room assigned him, as he wished to prepare
himself for dinner. On starting out for labor
he made inquiry as to the usual hour fur sup
per. This was the last that was seen of him.
During his stay at the boarding house he
found time to open the drawers of a bureau
standing In the entry and purloin the con
tents of a portinoniae belonging to the lady of
the house, containing the sum of 01‘J. Look
out for these fellows.
The treasurer of the Portland & Kennebec
Railroad company, received a few days since
an anonymous letter enclosing 81.50, the
writer stating that the sum was to pay his
fare from Bath to Portland, of which
he had defrauded the company some
time since. We don't believe another such
instance is on record. It is deemed a virtue i
to “dead-head it" on railroads. How that
man's conscience must have stung him I In
his dreams the iron horse with fiery nostrils
rushed towards him ; a terrible smash-up oc
curred, and the company not responsible;
Frank Bodge dodging round after tickets, and
the poor delinquent compelled to inform him
that he had lost his. May the conscience
stricken individual find relief.

On Wednesday lust, Gen. Henry Boynton
i of this city submitted to a painful and difficult
surgical operation. For six years he has car
ried in his body one of those “leaden mes
sengers” which have proved fatal to so many,
iIn the battle of Drury’s Bluff, Va., on the
16th of May, 1864,* Gen. Boynton, who was
■ then Lietit. Colonel commanding the 8lh
Maine, bore a conspicuous part on the right
of the line, holding it against tearful odds,
capturing a large number of prisoners. For
,his gallantry on this hard fought field, he re
ceived the special mention of Gen. Weitaei, j
■.which is not a very common thing for a man
iin his position fo do. Our loss in that fight |
was between 1400 and 1300 In killed and
!1wounded. During the engagement, by the
^bursting of a shell, Gen. Boynton received a
{bullet in his left side. For six years ltd* bul- |
let lias been working its way towards the right
side, until nt the time of the operation on
Wednesday it was in a position on the right
side at the top of the hip, between the hip
bone and the spine. The operation was per-!
formed in a skillful manner by Dr. John Ben
son of Newport, who was Surgeon of the 20th
Maine Regiment. He was unassisted in the
operation. The bullet is somewhat battered.
It weighs 11-lfith of an ounce avoidupoi*, or
392 grains, and lias been a constant trouble to
the General. We are glad to know that he is
getting along well and will be out in a few
days.
The Decoration of the Graves of Soldiers
who fell ill the lute war, and memorial servic
es, will take place at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery,
on Sunday next, (May 29th,) at 4:30 P. M.
The Committee, after consulting the several
Clergy and others, decided to have the servic
es oil Sunday instead of the Monday lollow
ing, (the day appointed liy Gen. Hogan for
general observance,) so as to give every one
an opportunity to participate in the services.
The G. A. R. Post at the Military Asylum
will attend, bringing with them their fine
Band, which will discourse music appropriate '
to the occasion. A large quantity of (lowers,
will be required, and the Committee solicit |
donatious from the citizens generally, which
may be left at tile Armory of the Capital
Guards, (Eureka Hall, on the east side of the
river,) and at the Council Rooms, (Granite
Hall Block.) oil the morning of the 29th inst.
It is hoped that the citizens generally will
unite in paying this just tribute to the Dead
who fell in the service of their country.

mating that unless this was done Texas and

posed the resolutions, and the latter said that!
this was but a move in the direction of dio- ,
cesan territorial Bishops.
Bishop Paine, on behalf of the Bishops, ex- j
plained their views on the subject, setting j
lorth that they had done their work, but in 1
view of the fact that five new Conferences hail
been added, they would agree to an addition, j
but would acquiesce in the action of the Con- I
ference if two were asked for, under the op- j
eration of the previous question. The resolu- j
tion was adopted, 110 to 112. On motion of
