MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.
ANCwtiT Er.MS.—The two largest elm tree'
of this county, are now standing near the cor
ner of Locust and Cumberland streets, direct
ly opposite the residence of Oliver Cerrtsh
Esq., iu this city. These tress were planted in
the year 1814 by Seth Clark, Esq., now a resi
dent of Westbrook. The larger and North
ernmost of the trees, measures at the distance
of one foot from the ground, ten feet and two
inches in circumference, and the second iu size
measures nine feet and nine inches in circninfe
rcnco. The branches spread in a line with the
trunks over an area of 139 feet—the trees
standing at a distance of 61 1-2 from each oth
er, fl-om centre to centre. The area of ground
covered would be of much greater extent,
were the trees farther apart, as in their present
position the brauchcs are interlaced. An anec
dote is told of one of these trees, which most
forcibly brings to mind the words of that dear
old song, “ Woodman, tt;xtre that tree." It is
related as follows:—During the infancy of the
smaller tree, it was found necessary to remove
a building standing contiguous, and which
must directly pass over the then young sajv
liug, In its removal. A workman had seized
an axe and was about to inflict the destructive
blow, when his hand was arrested by a lady,
who implored him to let the sapling have one
more chance for life, that chance to be submis
sion to the weight of the building as it passed
on and over it in Its passage through the street.
It was done; the little tree bent in submission
to the ordeal, and escai>ed with hut a few- slight
bruises, was re-set and propped up, ami now re
mains a most stately monument of woman’s
kind solicitude for the weak in distress.
Uniob CiroaOR—Ookbection.-—Owing to
our unaequaintance with local matters in this
city, we And that an error crept into the brief
paragraph in relation to Union Church, which
appeared in Tuesday’s I'iiehs. Wc spoke of
the congregation worshipping in Mechanics’
Ilall as the congregation that recently occu
pied Union Church, and as though the organ
izations were identical. This was our mistake.
Kev. Mr. Moore re igned the past irate of Un
ion Church, and the resignation was accepted
and took formal effect. The congregation to
which he preaches in Mcclianics’ Ilall as yet
has assumed no organic name, ami though
marie up in part of h|s former parishoners, it
is in no sense the organization known as Un
ion Church.
standing on the comer of Brown and Congress
streets, Tuesday morning, was summarily re
lieved of her pocket book, which contained,
however, but a small amount of money. Pock
et-picking would undoubtedly have been car
ried on upon a more extended scale, but for
the large police corps on duty, detailed for the
occasion by the wise forethought of the city
fathers.
Cheaper to Ride than to Walk.—An
obstreperous “ hombre ” was kindly taken cere
of by the ever solicitous police, during the day
of Tuesday, who undoubtedly needed some
assistance in the way of locomotion. The po
lice had, however, caught a tartar; for no
sooner had they lafd hands upon him. than,
feeling hurt at their gratuitous assistance, like
Pat's hog, he wouldn't got Consequence—
legs strapped—body shouldered—man carried
—imprecations many—convulsions of laughter
—and as we left, nothing could be seen but the
bending forms of the groaning policemen, as
they tenderly conveyed our “ hero ” to the
back apartments of the City Building—where
he was left to appreciate the comfort of a good
cell (sell).
Municipal Court, June 25, 18C2.—Thos.
Shanahan, unmindful erf the dog law, having
violated the city ordinance, by endeavoring to
keep a “ whelp ” without the necessary papers,
was mulcted in the sum of $2,00 and costs,
making in all the nice little sum of $4,20.
Thomas reached out the sum required, with
much fervor, aud departed inquiring the way
to the License Department
John Murphy, for a like breach of the law,
was adjudged as requiring to |>ay into the mu
nicipal treasury, the sum of $5,17, which being
complied with, without a grumble, Jobu was
immediately notified of his release.
James Curtin was brought before His Honor
Judge Lane on the charge of drunkenness and
disturbance of the public peace. This being
his first offence, His Honor deemed it proper
to show some leniency in the matter, merely
requiring him to pay a fine of $.1,00 and costa
—total, $<1,17, which little bill was promptly
paid.
Aid to Soldiers’ Families.—A corres
pondent writing from Alva, Aroostook County,
asks if plantations have the same duty to per
form towards the families of soldiers as towns.
We answer yes, aud their expenditures for
such purposes will be reimbursed by the State,
as towns will be. Plantation officers occupy,
relatively, the same position as town officers.
If, however, the soldier hits been discharged
from services, he is entitled to no aid from the
State.

LATEST BY EVENING PAPERS.
The dispatches to last evening’s papers were
very meagre. A Winchester letter of the 21st,
says Gen. Fremont will establish bis headquar
ters at Middleton or Winchester.
It is rc]K>rted that Jackson is at Hurey, and
that he had captured Front Royal.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 21st learns
from the Express that the troops to the number
of 6000 have advanced from Norfolk and Suffolk
to a point on the seaboard railroad, known its
the Franklin Depot, fifty miles from Portsmouth
and thirty from Welden. The aim of this force
is, beyond a doubt, to advance to Weldeu and
cut off the railroad connection at that place with
Petersburg and Richmond. This explains the
recent visit of Gen. Burnside to Gen. McClellan.

Sunday, June 24. IS1I2. 5
From the movements of the enemy lost night,
and from information received from a contra
band, a general engagement was looked for this
morning. The troops were all under arms at
daylight and everything in readiness, but after
a slight demonstration by the rctiels, and find
ing themselves promptly met at every point,
they retired to tneir old position.
A terrible storm visited this section last night
lasting atomt three hours. The wind blew a
hurricane, leveling tents and trees in all direct
ions.
The Richmond papers complain of the large
price paid for substitutes in the rebel army, any
of whom immediately desert. They mention in
stances where as high as 14 and 20 dollars have
been paid.

A ride at sunrise this morning along the en
tire front of the union forces, found everything
ready for any emergency that might arrise.—
There has been less skirmishing within the Inst
twenty-four hours, than at any time aiuce the
battle of Fair Oaks. The condition of the
swamps for an encampment has rapidly improv
ed within the last few daye.
The inovemeut8 of the enemy to-day have
been mysterious. Their pickets at some points
have been drawn in for half a mile,while at others
they remain as usual. The ground vacated by
the enemy is now held by our troo|>«.
The Richmond pajicre of to-day contain noth
ing of special interest, except the arrival of Gen.
Price. No mention is made of the whereabouts
of Gen. Beauregard's army.

Illinois Election.
Chicaoo, June 25.
Returns from all but 4 counties foot up a ma
jority against the bank article of 4500; against
congressional appointment 7500. The negro
proposition denying the right of suffrage ami
holding office was adopted by almost nine tenth
vote. The pro|msition to exclude them from
coming into the State was adopted by a nearly
two third vote. They consequently form a part
of the old constitution. These articles were
voted on separately from the constitution. The
minority against the new constitution thus far is
about 13,000.
