A gentleman in this city lias bum “figur
ing” quite extensively for the new post office*
for several days, ami thus far lias been very
successful—in painting the figures on tlx* glas>
boxes.
How it is that a person “fails,” and keeps
right on in business “as though nothing had
happened.” is a mystery that remains to be
solved. Some people are born to tail—it's
their forte.
Inquiries are frequently made for rents in
this city. They are very scarce. The edi
tor of the Sewer has x Mnall room vacant in
the upper story of his earthly tabernacle, but
it is hardly tit for a decent tenant.
It is learned from the Secretary of the Knox

and paper-hangers. The two lower stories
have been plastered and made ready for the
finishing. After the wing is completed it will
be speedily occupied by those who are in

It will interest everybody to know that the

Blaine) from a just condemnation.—Main

condemned.
Mr. Zina O. Sprague is building a neat and
commodious dwelling house on his lot on
Sewall street, in this city. Although he is
employed ten hours each day in the railroad
shop, the house has been erected during the
season, almost by his own hands, in the hours
that men usually take for refreshment and rec
reation. This is manifesting a spirit of energy
and enterprise which if adopted by other me
chanics who are paying a large portion of their
income for house rent, would result in the es
tablishment of many happy homes throughout
(he city- Mr. Sprague is putting a roof on
his house, with the prospect of completing the
whole before snow flies.
The Standard maintains its pet name, the
“Main Sewer,” by receiving into its stomach
this week several gallons of sour ale. Adver
tisements, correspondence, anything of a low
character, unfit for publication in any decent
sheet, is sure to be produced in its columns.
I'erhaps this would lie well enough if the
Sewer had a good outlet: but when it is full,
it throws its dirty stuff upon the counters of
our stores, into the nice new boxes of the post
office, on the tables of counting rooms, and
even into the doors of private residences. We
trust that the city in its system of sewerage,
will make some provision for an outlet of this
sewer which is becoming so offensive, es
pecially in this warm weather.
Allen Lambard, Esq., of this city, who is

for the purpose of establishing a home for
aged and indigent women. He paid therefor
the sum of fcti.OOO, and proposes to fit up the
establishment at his own expense and give it

sufficient fund shall he contributed for the
support of such an institution, ^fr. I.amhard
is our highest individual tax-payer, has abun
dant means at his command, which he is will
ing to use for purposes which will bring upon

Hooksett, N. IL, June 22<1. 1*70.
K. (i. Chase, Esq.— Pear Sir: — Iti reply to
( yours of the 20th in regard to “Williams’
Uroof Paint." we have a very favorable opin- .
! ion of it so far as we have tested it. We had j
: the roofs of many of our building- covered
witli it three years ago. and it prove - < qual to
my expectations. And the only important
point in using it is tnis : Have your roof, nr
the shingles. ) perfectly dry anti p<: t it /(ell.
Don’t let it by the job, hut do it yourself, or
( by the day. If damp, or wet. the paint will
not p* ni trate the wood, and will w h off and
j^he of little use. if dry and well p. tied, it is !
a good investrnt nt.

and in some instances, all the glass on the

were entirely broken out by the hail, which
tell so thickly that it lay in winrows.
One man in Orrington who had cut his
hay and stacked it up in the field, had it
taken up by the wind and scattered far and
j wide. One house containing a family was ,
icmoved from its foundation, and another

The Journal- say that the French cabinet
having received as the first concession a per
sonal renunciation of the Spanish crown by
Prince Hohrnzollern agreed to continue the
n< gutiations to obtain from the King of Prus
sia his official renunciatian now and forever,
i t all pretensions to the throne of Spain on ,
tin part uf any number of the Hohcnzollern
family.
It. appears that the King of Prussia has
refused to receive Count Hcnedetti.or to sign
the promise required of him by the French
gov e rmnent.
The Emperor left St. Cloud this morning
l»v a special train, and Arrived at the Tuilhries 1
at noon. The ministers wi re all at the Palace
and a council was held immediately.
At half past three o’clock this afternoon
the Presidents of the Senate and the Corps
I.ogislatif which were then in session, were
informed that the government would have a
communication to make to those bodies be
fore tin close of fitting. It is generally be
lieved that this communication will be a de
claration of war.
Lonijon. July 14.
The North German Parliament has be* r.
convoked, and will meet next week. Bis
marck heard of Prince Leopold’s withdrawal
while on his way to rejoin the King at I
Kins, whereupon lie turned hack and set out
lor bis estates at Yargine.
The Kmperor left the Tuilleries at 0 o'clock
on his return to St. Cloud, and at that hour
the chambers were informed that no declara
tion would bo made by the government to-day.
While the ministerial counsel was in session
a despatch was received from the King of
Prussia, which changed the situation, and
there is now reason to believe peace may he
preserved. The agitation throughout the
city i> extreme. The majority of the evening
pupejjp maintain a warlike tone, and groups of
people in the streets seem strongly in favor
of war.
The report that the Egyptian troops had
landed at Bay Ashub on the Bed Sea. and
captured the Australian trading station is offi
cially contradicted.
Mr. Gladstone stated in the House of Com
mons to-day in reply to the question of
Disraeli that the British government in com
mon with other European cabinets sustain* *1
the position taken by the Duke De Gramftmnt,
which was that Spain was entitled to choose
anyone for a King except a German Prince.
There was a wild panic on the streets after
change hours to-day. An official state
ment that the Bank of England has received
£131,000 is not sufficient to restore confi
dence, and much uneasiness still prevails.
It is positively asserted that Count Benc
detti has been ordered hack to France, and
he only awaits the departure of Baron Yan
Werther, Prussian Minister from Paris.
Advices from Madrid arc pacific «*■ far as
Spain is concerned, and llatsa Bayvant the
Spanish Minister of the Interior has sent
envoys to the different Counts to notify them
of the acceptance by Spain of Prince Leo
pold’s renunciation.
