turned a verdict for defendants.

specifications of defence are:—1st, That de
fendant is in no way liable to plaintiff as
charged in his account; 2d, that if plaintiff
undertook to drive any logs for defendant it
was done under a special contract between
plaintiff and defendant, containing certain
terms, conditions and stipulations to be per
formed by plaintiff, which have never been
performed; 3d, that if plaintiff undertook to
drive any logs for defendant, the work was
done so unskillfully and carelessly that the
logs were scattered and lost, and very few if
any arrived at the place of destination; and
defendant received no benefit whatever, but
sustained great damage. Not finished.
J. II. Drummond. Fessenden & Butler.
Municipal Court—-Nov. 5.
Catharine Touro, alias “Kitty Kentuck,”
was brought up on a complaint charging her
with keeping a house of ill-fame. -She pleaded
not guilty. J. II. Williams, Esq., appeared as
her counsel, and F. Fox, Esq., for the State.
After examination, the Court decided that
there was probable cause to believe her guilty,
and ordered her to recognize with sureties in
the sum of $300 for her appearance at the
‘term of the S. J. Court, to he held on the last
Tuesday of this month. She furnished the
sureties and was discharged.
Death or an Old Citizen.—Joshua Rich
ardson, Esq., died at his residence in this city
Tuesday night in the 88th year of his age.
The deceased was one of our most active
public men. For many years, under the old
town eoverninent. he held the office of Sc
lectmau, and ? so represented the town in the
Legislature of tile State for some years. When
the City charter was adopted, his name was
prominently brought forward as a candidate
for Mayor, and at the tlrst election he received
a large number of votes. There being no
choice effected, he declined before a second
election was held. He was the tlrst President
of the Manufacturer’s & Trader's Bank, and
held that office until within a few years. His
active business habits continued until he was
past the age of 80 years, and he seemed as spry
and energetic at a man of sixty. About six
teen months since he was attacked with par
alysis, and since that time has not been out of
his house. But his mind continued strong
untU the last moment, when lie sank away to
his tlnal rest.
Small Notes Puohibited.—We have
been requested to call attention to the follow
ing section of the aetof Congress, authoriz
ing payments in stamps, and prohibiting the
circulation of notes of a less denomination
than one dollar:
Sect. 2. And be it further enacted, That
from and after the first day of August, eigh
teen hundred and sixty-two, no private cor
poration, banking association, firm, or individ

note, check, memorandum, token, or other ob
ligation, for u less sum than one dollar, in
tended to circulate as money, or to be received
or used i. lieu of lawful money of the United
States; and every person so offending shall,
on conviction thereof in any District or Cir
cuit Court of the United States,-lie punished
by fine not exceeding five hundred dollars, or
by imprisonment not exceeding six months, or
by both, at the option of the Court.

The Evening Couriei “pitches in” to
Adjutant General llodsdon lor requesting his
oflicial notices copied by only one paper iu
this city, and then publishes it free of charge,
out of sh**er spite. Nothing like showing
“proper resentment,” Doctor, only in vault
ing about loosely it may be prudent to ob
serve Artemas Ward’s advice, and keep your
under garments well fastened down. But for
your' onset upon the Adjutant General, we
should not have noticed his request to copy.

Fall Plowing ns one ol the Most Effectual
Means tor Thorough Pulverization.
The following remarks upon Fall Plowing
we copy from the “Cultivator,” one of the
most popular agricultural journals in the coun
try. Farmers all know that their oxen are
usually iu better condition in the Fall than in
the Spring, and this is an additional reason for
improving the present season for such work.
The Cultivator says:
Alter a soil lias been broken up, it soon com
mences to run together again, and to set, very
much as mortar does, which lias been made ol
lime ami sand; and to assume u solid and al
most organized form. Iu this process almost
every particle of the soil that has been*plowed
is moved, more or less; and much of the soil is
separated and moved several inches from those
parts,with which it has long lieen in contact.
Tliis operation is effected by rain and sunshine.
As a matter of course, this change in the po
sition of the particles of the entire soil, does
much towards securing thorough pulveriza
tion.
Frost-freezing and thawing of a soil, exerts a
very important influence in securing tin* com
plete pulverization ol all soils. But when a
soil lias been plowed several months before
tlie time of frost, it becomes consolidated, and
the frost will not exert half tlie influence, in
its more thorough pulverization, that it would
were it hut recently plowed.
For this reason, plowing early in autumn—
where thorough pulverization is the chief ob
ject—will not be as effectual as late plowing,
or even plowing iu the winter. If tlie rains
and frosts of winter can be in operation, when
a soil is running together, alter it has been
nlowcd. the niilvcriyiit win will Iu- mere tlwir. I
ough ami complete than it would be under any
other circumstances. And more than this, the
more complete the pulverization is, the lon
ger that soil will remain mellow and porous;
and consequently, the greater w ill be the avail
able amount of fertilizing matter in that soil,
which \gill promote the growth of crops.
Since th« introduction of the “Coulter Har
row,-’ manufactured by Messrs. Gbf.eni.kak
& Fisheh, at Bath, Fall-plowed land, we are
told, does not need plowing in the Spring.
This Harrow reduces the soil to the greatest
degree of fineness or commutation of parti
cles, mechanically breaking up the solidity of
the soil, and most thoroughly and effectually
turning the soil upside down. Farmers would
do well to look to this new improvement in
husbandry, as hard lumps of earth are of no
more value than the same amount of stones.
“Birds of n Feather.”

The Belfast Journal of this State, democrat
ic, has published the recent speecli of John
Van Buren, and commends it thus:
“We print on the outside of this paper an
admirable speech by this able gentleman, and
commend it to the perusal of our readers. It
is bold, outspoken, and searching as the knife
of the surgeon, cutting down the radical can
cer that is eating into the vitals of the coun
try.
Another democratic (!) paper, the Rich
mond, Va., Dispatch, also publishes it, and
says:
“We published in our Northern news yes
terday some extracts from the speech ofJohn
Van Buren at the Democratic Mass Meeting
in New Nork on Monday. If there is any
real significance in any of these addresses
lately launched against the Lincoln admistta
tion. by the Democratic orators in the North,
that of Mr. Fan Buren is far more importl
ant than any yet published. He is the only
s/ieaker icho has dared to meet the question
of peace squarely, without making subjuga
tion a sine qua non.
The Newburyport Herald says Mr.
Sleeper, elected to Congress over Mr. Rice,
w ill stand in the next Congress as Judge
Thomas does in this. J udge T. made an able
speech at the last session on the confiscation
question, in which he proved with the plain
ness of holy writ, that the President, as a mil
itary measure, and acting as coinmunder-in
cliief. lmd full authority to do precisely w hat
his proclamation proposes. The Post and
Courier both approved his speech at the time.
Cy Mr. Sleeper was called on by his politi
cal friends on Tuesday eveniug, alter his elec
tion had become certain, and in an address to
them said he should give the Administration
a generous support, complimented his unsuc
cqpslul competitor, Mr. Rice, and intimated
that lie differed from him only in his inability
to endorse Mr. Sumner.

She brought no passengers. Our officers and
guard were not allowed to go on shore at
Aiken's Landing.
L'ol. Aiken, one of the rebel commissioners,
ha- been deprived of his commission.
The Richmond Despatch of the 1st inst.,
says the movement of the rebel forces indicate
the evacuation of northern Virginia. The
Despatch is salisticd that a general advance of
the Federal forces is not anticipated, and that
McClellan will not risk an engagement.
Winchester had not been evacuated on
Thursday last, and the rebel cavalry pickets
still hold their old positions north oi Bunker
Hill and east of Charlestown.
Forty prisoners of war arrived at Richmond
last evening, who were captured last Saturday
in the vincinity of Harper's Ferry.
Seveu members of the 42d Mississippi regi
ment had been imprisoned lor acting as bogus

The Despatch forsees that Mobile, Charles

Baltimore & Ohio Railroad from North Moun
tain to Sheppardstowti.
The rebel Secretary of War has ordered the
conscription to extend to all men not subject
to exemption between eighteen and forty.
The Whig says it cannot be disguised that
the law under which this is done is unpopular,
if not odious, among a large class of the peo
ple. .
The Whig also says tiie captain of the Brit
ish man-of-war Kinaldo recently approached
New Orleans, assumed a hostile attitude, and
demanded the release of an English subject
named James Syme, a druggist, confined iu
Fort Pickens, and indemnity to him in $100,
000. Gen. Butler requested ten days to con
sult with the Washington authorities, which
was assented to.
The Whig says the sympathies of the cap
tain of the Kinaldo are warmly witli the South.
Gen. Butler, the Whig likewise says, has
issued another infamous order forbidding the
payment of debts to persons who have not
taken the oath of allegiance.

I CLEMS’ SUMMER CURE
—A5D—
Howes’ Cough Pills,
By the concurrent testimony of many sufferers, th
fact has been established, that for the cure of
DIARRiHEA OR DYSENTERY
In persous of all ages, no medicine has ever come to
the knowledge of the public, that so effectually doee
, it work and at the same time leave# the bowels in an
, active, healthy condition, as
CLEM S SUMMER CURE.
That for Children Cutting Teeth, if troubled with
i Diarrhoea or auv irregularities of the bowels, all oth
' or remedies are insignificant, as compared with
( LEM’S SUMMER CURE.
That for Children troubled with Canker in mouth
or stomach, or mothers suffering from nursing sore
mouth, a safe and speedy cure is effected by the use of
CLEM’S SUMMER CURE.
That for Coughs, Hoarseness and Bronchial affect
i font, there is no remedy extant that so universally
i affords relief as
HOWES’ COUGH IMLL8.
That for a Tightness or Wheezing in the Cheat
Tains in the side, or a long standing Hack, the beat
remedy is
HOWE’S COUGH PILLS.
That as an expectorant and ameliorating agent In
eases of Phthisic. Whooping Cough, and Confirmed
Consumption, the public have already rendered their
united \erdict in favor of
HOWES’ COUGH PILLS.
CLEM’S SUMMER CURE is a pleasant, agreeable
decoction of Roots and Barks, and contains not a
particle of Onux or Drug of any aort. It always
does good, and uever does harm.
