The beautiful steamer “Ella,” which is to
ply between this city and Portland, arrived
here yesterday afternoon at six o’clock.
Two young men, members of the high
school, of about the same age, both good
scholars, have died within a week—Gould and
Rutherford.
The thunder tempest Monday night extend
ed over quite a range of country, in some
places carrying destruction in its train. In this
city, with the exception of tearing away young
vines from their support, the damage was quite
slight. It will be seen by an item elsewhere
that a house within the city limits was struck
by lightning.
The Maine Medical Association will hold
their eighteenth annual meeting at Bangor on
the 28th. Members of the quill fraternity, we
believe, are excluded from the secret sessions
of this body, but members of the pill fraternity
are in full fellowship. The meeting at Ban
gor occurs the same time as the Masonic
gathering, and it has been hinted by an indi
vidual inside the ring, that the occasion is to
be a sort of Medico-Masonic affl lir.
Work is progressing rapidly on the new
reservoir to supply water to the Asylum at
Togus. Gen. Tilton’s house is finished and
he now occupies it. The portable railway is
in successful operation, bringing the hill to the
valley. A large piggery been has built within
a few weeks, which will afford room for the
extension of this branch of farming opera
tions. There is an air of comfort and cleanli
ness about the entire establishment at Togus.
The excursion of the members ol the high
school to the seaside did not take place yester
day. The teachers and scholars were prompt
ly at the wharf at half-past six in the morning,
but through some misunderstanding the little
steamer “Clarion" did not put in an nppear
ance. After waiting for some time the little
folks and their friends concluded to change
the programme, and take a ride out to one of
the ponds in the country. Accordingly teams
were chartered and an excursion made to
Webber Pond, where the day was much en
joyed by all present.
Mr. A. W. Scott, for fourteen years con
nected w ith the Boston Police department,
and recently proprietor of the panorama
“Streets of Boston,” has removed to this city,
and intends to make Augustu his home. Mr.
Scott is interested in all the reformatory
measures of the day, having seen in his offi
cial position the different steps leading to ruin,
' and the derious ways of sin in which the
youth of our country are too often led. He
has frequent calls to address Sabbath schools,
and speaks with enthusiasm and ability on the
subject of temperance.
A friend of ours who has a boy three and a
half years old—one of those very remarkable
children (in the eyes of their fond parents)—
who has but just now learned to remain per
fectly silent during morning prayers. A night
or two since on going to bed, and after re
peating that sweet little prayer we have so
many of us—we trust it has never been for
gotten, and that many “children of a larger
growth" in their simple faith yet repeat the
^amo words—learned in our infancy, said with
great solemnity, “Atnen.” Then waiting a
moment, he said in the same thoughtful way,
“Awomen.”
.The house of Thomas Little, Esq,, on Mid
dle street, (east side of the river,) was gently
struck by lightning about half-past 8 o’clock
Monday evening. The fluid apparently passed
from the branch of a tree which overhung the
roof to the roof itself and from thence into
the wall of the garret, knocking off two or
three square feet of plastering, and splinter
ing quite a number of clapboards. It occas
ioned no serious damage. The clapboards
were somewhat blackened. Mr. Little and his
family were in another part of the house at
the time and of course for a few moments felt
considerably thunder-struck.
Mr. Edward Bowse, at his jewelry store on
Water street, in this city, has for sale the
“National Coffee Pot,” notice of which has
been given in several of the papers, and
which it is thought will be the means ol bring
ing back many an old coffee drinker who has
abandoned its use and taken to cold water.
The pot is manufactured by the National Tea
and Coflee Pot Company, and is of itself a beau
tiful article of domestic furniture. It is divid
ed into various departments, is in fact a pot
»ithin a pot. The inner pot cannot be boiled,
consequently no steam or fumes arise, and
the aroma of the coffee is all retained, ensuring
excellent coffee. The coffee in the vessel
cannot be spoiled by boiling. We shall give
this new contrivance a thorough test, and
promise our readers to commend it if it is de
serving.
Allen Chandler Rutherford, oldest son of
Mrs. W. A. Rutherford of this city, died on
Monday night last, at the age of 18 years.
The death of this young man will carry sor
row to many hearts. To the mother whom he
loved so well and served so faithfully and
affectionately, it will come with almost crush
ing weight, llis schoolmates and associates
will miss the sweet, pule face and cheerful
word of a companion who commanded always
their respect; the church and congregation of
which he was a member, who have often
heard his voice in sacred song, will Ik- sincere
mourners beside his early grave. His trust
was in his Savior, lie was granted but a few
years' time in which to serve Him on the earth,
but those were filled up with Christian love,
faith and works; aud now that he has been
called early home to enjoy with angels the
mere immediate presence of his Savior, his
best and most intimate friends would not wish
him back to earth, where, even at the highest
point of spiritual attainment, lie must “ecu.
through a glass darkly.”
Boothbay Marine Railways.
The Townsend Marine Railway, located in
McFarland’s Cove at Boothliay Harbor, is
now in operation. The “ways” are 448 feet
long; there are two “cradles” 153 feet long
and 40 feet wide. This Railway is capable of
holding a vessel of 38 feet width, or of about
1000 tons. The engine is 15 horse-power.
The chair is two and one-fourth inches iu di
ameter where it is subjected to the greatest
strain. The cost of the works has been
$13,300. The enterprise has been carried for
ward under the superintendence of Mr. K.
G. Loring, formerly of Cape Cod, who has
built eight marine railways, hut pronounces
this one the best of all. The Iioothbay Ma
rine Railway was built by Mr. Loring at a
cost of $10,700. This railway will hold a
vessel of from 500 to GOO tons, and has been
in operation three years.

FOR THE WORLD RENOWNED
SINGER
SEWING MACHINES.
Opposite the Post Office,
AUGUSTA, - - MAINE.
These Machines, by their fdmplcity, durability,
and the great range of work they’execute,
have gained a reputation truly
enviable.
The famous success of the HIM.ek M wit vci i ir
l\G (omi'ANV has stimulated many other com
panies to put forth all their energies and talents lo
produce a Hewing machine that would eclipae or
equal the Singer, but ill every ease they have sig
nally tailed, u-, if, plainly shown by the tael, that of
all the travelling agents—“runners «»|- drummer*”
—of other companies, none have the assurance lo
claim more than an equality w ith the >inger, even
upon am special class of w ork.
There are many sewing machines, now offered to
the public, that have their good points, and are of
much assistance to the housewife and the industri
ous seamstress. Patties purchasing a sewing msi
chine of any sort, tlud the improvement on the old
fashioned way of sewing l»y hand so great and
pleasing, that they are naturally, but erroneously,
led to br* lie A e that they hav* the l*e-t, until tin- spill
is broken by tin* introduction of 1h< Singer of 1*70
into a neighbor's family, which is sure, by the in
creased rapidity and ease with which it docs every
kind of plain or fancy sewing, to aw aken them to a
positive, although ii maybe silent acknowledge
ment. of the painful truth that there are very many
varieties of work that are easily executed upon the
Singer, but that they must either he content to do
without, or exchange, at a heavy pecuniary sacri
fice, their curved needled, frail-powered. unrelia
ble-ten sioned, low-speeded or rnvcl-stilciied ma
chine for a Sing* r AVw Family Machine,
\ .-trious expedient.-* are resorted to, that the pub
lic eye may be turned from the singer tor the pur
pose* of introducing inferior machines—viz, “The
iSuttun-ilole Dodge,” “The Ovci-seaming,” “The

“Vertical feed Burs'” “Noi.--.cl— Running,” “.■si
lent Feed .” and last and word of ail the low-priced
—“Fainih Shnfth* Machines.”
Many * f in* <• point- are desirable, an-l the
singer c\< * II- II in each individual speciality) but
the greater n i made of tlc-e special points, is Dy
the retail ag*-nt who parades them before the Inex
perienced purchaser ’with such fluent and earnest
style, as to entirely divert attention from the really
important bearing’s of the ease. While other inno
cent local agents ignorantlv represent that the ma
chine sold b\ th--m is capa)»le of iloiiig every varie
ty of work, erftnrt (•> the Singer, and often do they
thus iiic-oiiM :ously sw indle customer.- w lio cannot
affoid to squander their substance upon gilded
follies and worthless rattle-traps.
Parties in que-t of a Sew ing Machine should look
about them and learn what machine is most exten
sively used in lamiHcfl, tailor shops, shoe factories,
and enrria re fart on**.-. It in an acknowledged fact,

These Machines are manufacture <1 by or.e of the

ies that ha- ever been engaged in the busine.-s in
the world. Throughout their immense manufac
tories. which are kept in constant operation “day
and night,’’ none hut highly skilled mechanics are
employed. Newly improved machinery is em
ployed turning out each'pa it finished to that me
chanical exactness, that every one is a perfect du
plicate of the other in size, weight and finish. All
new inventions are carefully examined and tested,
and if approved, are adopted, regardless of ex
pense, while the many impractical humbugs that
are patented, are left to grace .nine new wonder

at Fairs to gain medals or premium-.
They simply make their Machine* a- \; luable as
money and science can perfect them—place- the in

out their virtue- in their own war. By this straight

FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
Washington, June 21.
Senate. Mr. Sherman, from the Finance
Committee, reported that the Committee
unanimously recommended non-concurrence
in the amendments of the House to the Senate
Currency hill, and the appointment of a Com
mittee of Conference.
The tariff' hiil was made the special order as
soon ns the Consulate appropriation bill was I
disposed of.
The Senate then resumed the Post Office
appropriation bill, and the franking appeal
amendments.
Mr. Trumbull's amendment, limiting the i
franking privilege to the dep’t, and allowing
public documents to be franked only from
Washington City, was rejected, 22 to 25.
Sherman, Warner and Sprague have been |
appointed as a Conference Committee on the
part ot the Senate, on the Currency bill.
The Senate then proceeded with the Con
sular and Diplomatic appropriation hill and
adopted amendments providing for a Consul
General at Liberia, raising the Minister to
Japan to Envoy extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary, and increasing the appropri
ation for contingent expenses of foreign inter
course, and for missions, from $50,000 t<>
$150,000.
Hoi.sk. Mr. Butler, from the Reconstruc
tion Committee, reported a bill for lull am!
general grace, amnesty and oblivion of
wrongful acts, of all persons engaged in the
late rebellion. Ordered to be printed and
recommitted.
Mr. Schcnck of O.. from Committee on j
Ways and Means, reported back the Funding
bill, with one slight verbal amendment, and
asked that it be made a special order for
Tuesday next.
Mr. Randall objected.
Mr. Schcnck withdrew the bill, saving
that he would take the chances of its being
made a special order in the House next Mon
day, under a su.-pension of the rules.
Among the bills reported, was one by Mr.
Ela of X. II.. reciting that $<>7k,372 was due
by the Cnited States to the State of Mass.,
for interest on expenditures during the war ,
of 1M2. The bill went over without action. I
The case of B. F. Whittimorc of 8. C., j
came up by a special assignment, and Mr.
Logan of 111., offered a resolution, meeting
tin* action of the Committee on Military
Affairs, and the House in reporting a resolu
tion declaring that Whittimorc by selling
naval cadetships, was unworthy of a seat in j
the House; reciting 1 is election and presen
tation of his credentials, and resolving that
the House of Representatives decline to al- i
low the said B. F. Whittimorc to be* sworn in j
as a Representative in the 41st Congress, and 1
direct that his credentials be returned to
linn.
Mr. Logan proceeded to address the House
in support of the resolution, and quoteil the
statute which rendered Whittimore liable to
be tried criminally for his offence, and on
conviction to he murdered, infamous and in
capable of holding any place of trust or
profit, under the government of the United
Slates. He held that the judicial action of
the House in the matter disqualified him, the
same as if he had been tried and convicted
in a court of justice. If the House had
power to expel them by parity of reason, it
had power to exclude them otherwise. The
power to expel did not amount to anything.
This man’s constituents had.bten notified that
the House had solemnly declared that he was
unworthy to occupy a seat as a member, hut
they had thought it proper as if to insult the
House to re-elect him. The House had no
right to say that a man should be excluded on
account of his polities or faith, but it had the
right to say that a man of infamous character
should he excluded.
Mr. Lldridge of Wis., suggested the danger
of assuming such a right, which might be ex- |
tended to the exclusion of men on account of
their politics or religion.
Mr. Logan denied that the position which
he took was open to such criticism. He had
directly disclaimed the power of the House to
exclude men on account of politics or religion,
hut only on account of what the law declared
to he a crime. The ease of Giddings of Ohio,
who was censured by the House for introduc
ing anti-slavery resolutions, w ho resigned and
w as re-elected and re-admitted at the same
Congress, was not a contrary precedent, be
cause his offence was not a crime. So to with
Brooks and Keitt.
Mr. Farnsworth took offence to an allusion
made against him by Mr. Logan, as a iriend
of Mr. Whittimore. He did not want the
gentleman to indulge in such a fling at his ex
pense. lie was no more that gentleman’s
friend than his colleague was, but he was in
favor of deciding the ease on a cairn, dispas
sionate view- of it.
Mr. Eidridge of Wis., suggested a case of
a constituent desiring to be represented by j
just such a man as Whittimore, and partici- S
paling in the benefits of his acts, and asked
w hether a refusal to admit him would not be i
touching on the rights of representation.
Mr. Logan denied that it would, lie said
the ease was exactly as the election of a!
colored man would have been before colored i
men were admitted to citizenship. Whitti
more’s constituents knew he was disqualified,
just as colored men were disquhlified.
After a long discussion, the matter was left
to the Judiciary Committee to report the law
and the precedents of the ease; and further,
Mr. Whittimore was entitled to a seat in the
House.
The House went into Committee of the
Whole on sundry civil expenses on the ap
propriation bill.
Mr. Dawes deemed this a proper occasion
it being the last general appropriation hill to
review the work of the Committee, and of
the House in regard to public expenditures.
He reminded the House of the remarks made
by himself in the early part of the session,
comparing the estimates of next year with
the estimates of the last administration for
the present year, and showing that the bal
ance was alarmingly against the former. The
remarks made by himself had been much
commented on, and no two gentlemcff had
since been able to agree upon the figures for
either year.
The Treasury department had however
employed one of its most faithful accounts to
review the estimates for both years, and he
now laid before the House to be printed in
the Globe, the result of that investigation. It
showed the balance to he handsomely in favor
of the estimates of this administration. The
summary showed the estimate for the new
year to he $8,098,295 less than the estimates
for the preceding year. That difference was
found by the department, correcting its own
mistakes, in estimates to the amount of
about $32,000,000, all made against itself,
and correcting the estimates made by the
l;ist administration for the year, to the amount
of about $5,000,000, all inado in its own
favor. With these corrections, the differ
ence in favor of the estimates of this admins
trillion, was $8,098,245. The Committee on
Appropriations had adhered itself to the
work of redeeming the pledge made to cut
down appropriations, not only lielow the es
timates for next year, but also below the ap
propriation for the present year. He took
pride in submitting the result to the House.
The estimates for the year ending June 30,
1871, exclusive of what was called perma
nent appropriations were, $150,090,727. The
