MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.
Arrest of a Tuief.—Last week a young
fellow, calling ilia name Levi 8. Givens, pre
tending to be a book pedlar, and said to lie
from New York, took lodgings at the board
ing-house of Mrs. Charles, No. 82 Federal
street. Wednesday morning lie robbed the
rooms of some of the other boarders of two
complete suit* of clothes and a valuable silver
watch, and started off on the freight train on
the Maine Central Railroad. Deputy Mar
shals llawkcs and Heald started in pursuit of
him, and the former got oil Ilia track at Wat
ervillc, where Givens had hired a team to go
to Freedom. Ilawkes went to that town and
found Givens in company with another young
fellow, who it is said has been arrested two or
three times for larceny. Givens was arrested,
and ail his plunder was found in Ills posses
sion. He was brought to this city yesterday,
and locked up for examination. Deputy Mar
shal Heald, who had taken another mute from
that taken by Hawkes, had also got on the
track of tile thief, and arrived at Freedom a
short time after the arrest had been effected.
Burglaries.—On Sunday night the house
of Mr. A. Dunyon, Henry street, was entered
by burglars, and silver spoons, forks, napkin
rings, Ac., to the value ol $50 were stolen.
The rogues broke a plated fork to see of what
composition it was.
The same night the dwelling-house of Free
man Bradford, Esq., was entered, and silver
articles of the value of $10 were stolen. Here
the scamp* broke a plated ladle to ascertain
whether it was silver.
iMjiu ni muse Houses were emcreu, as is
supposed, by the use of nippers in turning the
keys of the locks in the basement doors, which
were left In the locks Inside. The doors were
found nulocked in the morning. This should
be a caution to our citizens not only not to
leave the keys in the doors, but also to put
other fastenings upon them which would cause
more|»oise in breaking, and would thus alarm
some of the members of the family.
Mibth ani> —Ossian E. Dodge,
the genial ami jovial wit, humorist, |>oet, vo
calist and incomparable button persuader, an
nounces one of tiis fresh and original soirees
musieale at Lancaster Hall, Portland, Monday
evening, Nov. 24th, when the public may ex
pect a jolly jam, for Dodge seldom sings in
Portland or in fact anywhere else that tic does
not turn away a crowd. Mr. Dodge will lie
assisted by Mr. Hayward, the capital ballad
singer, who accompanied him ou his tour last
season, and whose modest deportment and
splendid singing was the theme of general
commendation wherever he sang. He pos
sesses a voice of unusual purity and sweet
ness, and in ballads of a pathetic character
he is probably without a rival in the world.
The entertainments given by Mr. Dodge are
of a peculiar and pleasing character, and have
always been held in high regard by the best
classes in society, of wliich’bis audiences are
usually largely composed.
The Steamtuo “Tioek.”—Capt. Willard
has rebuilt the steaintug Tiger, which, it will
be rememiiercd, was nearly destroyed by lire
a few mouths since. She has been enlarged
and improved, both in strength and speed,
and is now as good as new. Capt. Willard
made a trial trip yesterday some twelve miles
dowi. the bay, and was highly pleased with
the satisfactory manner in which the boat per
formed under the improvements introduced.
The tug made twelve miles in one and a half
hours under Hfty-llve pounds of steam, against
a strong wind and head tide, consuming only
050 pounds coal. Mr. Brown, the engineer,
thorougldy understands his business, and is
just the man to ensure the patrouage of the
public for the enterprising owners, who now
have two powerful tugs well appointed for
towing during the present season.
jy-Tlie operators upon clothes-lines have
again commenced their nefarious business.
We have heard of several robberies, in that
way, committed within a week. If justice
was administered to a few of these scamps it
would put a stop to the business, which is be
coming rather extended in this city. We ad
vise our citizens to watch their lines pretty
• closely.
Cattle.—Eight car loads of cattle from
the Grand Trunk, twelve from the Maine Cen
tral, and eighteen from the Portland Kenne
bec Railroads—thirty-eight in all—passed
through this city yesterday on their way to
the Cambridge and Brighton Markets. There
were alfo five cars from the Portland & Ken
nebec road for this city.
Widow’s Wood Society.—Some errors oc
curred in mentioning the officers of the Socie
ty chosen at the annual meeting. James II.
Baker as manager for the Park Street, was ac
cidentally omitted. John Barbour is manager
for the First Universalist, not Charles.
Recruits.—About sixty recruits for differ
ent Maine regiments passed through the city
yesterday, from Augusta, on their way to
Washington. This clears out nearly all the
recruits in camp at Augusta.
ETWe understand the steamer Daniel
Webster, which recently plied between this
place and Bangor, has been sold to parties in
Boston. It is expected she will ha taken by
Government immediately.
Syitcv. W. H. Hadley, Agent of the U.
S. Sanitary Commission, desires us to ac
knowledge the receipt of five dollars fiom
Wm. Toothakcr, of Phillips, for the use of the
Commission.
While at the concert the other night,
at the City Hall, we overheard two ladies, in
an under tone, discussing Gottschalk's forte.
A third little minx put in her oar, suggesting
that his forte was a Grand Piano Forte.
Sugar Boxes.—The advance in the price
of this article is bringing them into the mar
ket in considerabl: quantities. The York &
Cumberland road is doing a large business in
bringing box shooks from Saco river.
To the bailors of the Portland Press:
Since you have several limes kindly iuserted
notices in your paper lor the Alumnae of the
Girls’ High School, will you, as a matter of
justice, insert the following:
We noticed in your issue of this morn
iug the following:—“We understand that the
former and present members of the High
School for Girls have presented to Mr. Wool
son, their late teacher, a testimonial ol their
regard, in the shape «f a splendid silver fruit
dish.” The above statement misrepresents
the matter: yet it is not from any personal
feeling, but lor the sake of. truth and the
moral influence which such a statement limy
carry with it, at this time, that we .wish to
correct it. The Alumnae did not and could
not act as a body In the matter. The testi
mony of regard came from the friends of Mr.
Woolson, including only a portion of the
Alumnae. The consciences of many of them
forbade their taking any part favoring such a
measure. And that this should be so under
stood is the wish of
Many or tue Alumnae.

Reclamations on England for tho Depreda
tions of the Alabama.
New York, Nov. 17.
A special dispatch states that reclamations
have been made on England lor damages suf
fered by our commerce from the rebel cruiser
Alabama, which sailed under British pu|)crs
from a British port. It is believed that this
hint will not he lost on England, and that she
will stop the iron clad lleet, now supposed to
be building for rebels, from sailing out of ports
into which our armed vessels are not admitted,
as she must see to do otherwise would l>e to
commit a serious breach of the neutrality site
so studiously professes. According to infor
mation received here no one of these rebel iron
clads will he ready for three months to come.
Case of Steamer Blanche.—The Spanish Min
ister Excited.
New York, Nov. 17.
A special dispatch states that it is under
stood tiiat the question about tbe destruction
of the Blanche in Cuban waters has beeu re
ferred to Madrid, and that Admiral Earragut
has been directed to investigate Com. Hunter's
action. It is said that the Spanish minister re
garded Hunter’s course as so flagrant a breach
ol international law that lie was somewhat in
dignant witli Secretary Seward for postponing
a satisfactory settlement, instead of ordering
Coin. Hunter home, and unless facts nre prov
ed essentially ditlcreut from tile Spanish ver
sion of them, making reparation at once.
Own. Burnside’s Flan of Campaign.
New York, Nov. 17.
Gen. Burnside has submitted his plan of the
campaign to the authorities at Washington.—
As soon us a response is received from them
the army w ill move.
From the Army in VirRinis.
Wahhixotox, Nov. 17.
A dispatch from headquarters of Hie army
of the l’otomac, dated this morning, says there
was nothing important to communicate.
The Flambeau Affair.—It appears that
the English steamer which ran the blockade at
Charleston, S. C., did not escape injury from
the Flamlienu, after all. A letter from the
blockading fleet oil' that place, dated Nov. 4th,
has the following passage:
"At two o’clock on the morning of October
20, it being lia/.y and dark, a steamer was ob
served by tin- Flambeau close in with the land,
and passing along rapidly for the the northern
channel to enter Charleston. The Flambeau
immediately opened upon her,slipped her cable,
followed her as far as a knowledge of the chan
nel and the rebel batteries would permit, con
tinuing her tire all the time. But the speed of
ttic steamer was so rapid that site could not lie
prevented from passing in. At daylight on
the following morning, however, it was observ
ed that the said steamer had sunk abreast of
and near Fort Moultrie: and there she now
lies, a gratifying object to behold—the effort
of the Flamiieau's well-directed shot and shell.
From a late copy of the Charleston Mercury,
f'ounpn board of a prize recently taken, we
hatOTHCcrtuined that the steamer is the Minho,
and a very small portion of her cargo has been
saved in a damaged state.”
Dikobaceful Affaib.—Cnjiture of 2,000
Convalescent* by the Rebel*.—The Newark
Advertiser makes the subjoined statement:
“ The reported capture of part of the Sec
ond District of Columbia Volunteers (Presi
dent's Guard), together with 2^hKi convales
cents, is probably correct. The following are
the taet-s of the ease, as related by one of the
regiment. About 200 members of the regi
ment, comprising members of Companies A,
E, G and K.and part of Company I. the whole
under command of Acting Major Garrett,
were detailed to escort the convalescents,
stragglers and deserters, who had been col
lected at Washington, to a point near Har
per's Ferry. On reaching their destination
and not finding the army there, contrary to
orders Major G. proceeded, and although
warned by a liattery of artillery, which lie met,
of the proximity of tiie rebels, deliberately
marched s'ill further, and the whole party,
except a few stragglers, fell into the hands of
a body of rebel cavalry.”
Snell disgraceful conduct on the part of
Major Garrett should cause his instant expul
sion from the army, if no severer punishment
can be inflicted.
A McClellan Stouy fob Southern’
Circulation.—The following from the Kich
tnond correspondence of the Charleston Mer
cury, shows the style of stories which the
Southern Bohemians get up for their employ
ers :
“An intelligent and entirely trustworthy
private, who was taken prisoner at Antietam,
pronounced in Maryland An-ie-tain. accent on
the last syllable, says he was lodged not tar
from McClellan's headquarters, and often saw
him. He is sure that he is drinking hard; he
was once an inveterate toper. I bear. Imt was
reclaimed by hio wife. His habit is to talk out
loudly to the group which assembles around
him, and litis prisoner says lie one day heard
him exclaim : ‘The demagogues have got us
into all this trouble and are keeping us in. If
the matter were left to (Jen. Lee and myself,
we could settle it in half an hour.’ ”
Black Soldiers.—The New York Tri
bune of Saturday evening lenrns from Wash
ington that Gen. Saxton’s negro brigade has
recently met with successes, having had three
fights, during which they took a number of
prisoners and captured twenty slaves. Sever
al extensive salt works ill Georgia were de
stroyed. The rebels were badly beaten, and
in retreating destroyed an immense quantity
of property.
The New York Herald says that at New
Orleans Gen. Butler lias put into the Held four
negro regiments. Should you visit that city
and desire to make an excursion to Algiers,
which is directly opposite to the city of New
Orleans, the first object of curiosity that greets
your ear is from the mouth of a negro soldier
the guard—“Who goes there?” “The coun
tersign,” dec. These four regiments are about
being formed into one brigade.
EF" rite Warden of Ward 12, South Bos
ton, iu a communication to the Journal, ex
plains the discrepancy in the ward, whereby
Mr. Sleeper was shown to be elected, when
the majority of votes were actually for Mr.
Bice. It teems a portion of the People’s tick
et contained the nairib of Mr. Bice. The votes
were properly assorted ami counted, but the
ward clerk Inadvertently placed twenty-eight
of those lor Mr. Bice, which were on the Peo
ple’s ticket, in the column for Mr. Sleeper, and
thus added them up. Fortunately the ballots
were preserved, and the paper on which was
the original liguring, and they show the facts
to be as here stated.
—
1UE ATTEMPTS TO EXCITE DISAFFECTION
in the army by alleging its existence, arc ex
citing the attention of the authorities. The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Times says:
The statements sent from this city lately to
a New York journal, and published, in regard
to disaffection in the Army of the Potomac,
have been regarded as so incendiary as to
cause serious danger of the arrest of the par
ties responsible for their appearance. They
impeach alike the loyalty of the army and the
characters of the Generals to whom their au
thors profess to be friendly.
Slave Trader Sentenced—Albert Horn,
convicted of fitting out the slave steamer City
of Norfolk, was sentenced, in New York on
Saturday morning last, to live years imprison
ment. The steamer was fitted out in June,
1860, left for St. Thomas, took on board there
n supply of manacles, hand cuffs, die., sailed
for the Coast of Africa, and subsequently
landed a cargo of slaves on the Coast ofCuba,
where she waa seized by a Spanish man-of-war,
nnd afterwards condemned.

The Express’ Washington correspondent
gives n report from, as it says, reliable author
ity, that the base of operations are to be
changed, and the army is to move on Kicli
inond by the line of Aquiii Creek and Freder

Another dispatch says the reliels evacuated
Snicker's Gap Friday afternoon, ami now ap

Gen. Sigel and staff visited Gen. Burnside
yesterday at Warrenton, and were cordially
received.
A Harper’s Ferry letter of Sunday says:—
Jackson's main force was at Stevenson's Sta
tion, litleen miles this side of Winchester. It
is variously stated at 40,000 to 70,000, but not
likely to exceed 40,000. Jackson never left
the Valley, but moved down the west side of
the Blue Kidge. while our army advanced
along the east side, skirmishing at the Gaps
with our advance, but never proffering serious
buttle. When it became known tlmt our army
hud no intention to enter the Valley, Jackson
retraced Ills steps. This advance extends
two miles from Hancock. His cavalry occu
pied Martins burg, and Jackson’s headquarters
are at Bunker Hill.

POOR RICHARD'S
EYE Sr EAR WATER !
1^0 Organs of the tinman system are more fmpor
^ tant to health ami comfort than the Eye and
Ear, and yet none are less understood or more neg
lected. They seem to pa«s even common observation,
aud yet every part of the body is dependent up n
them for life and health.
Poor Rii-hanl's F.jr and Far Water
Is a new aud rare discovery, which is most wonder
ful in its operations, putting to blush the old systems
of treatment, which have quite as often done harm
as good. Below wo give th*^ certificate of Rev. 1*. 8.
IIknhon, Pastor of the Broad Street Baptist Church,
Philadelphia. If any one ha$ doubts as to the value
of this remedy, they may learn more of its practical
value by addressing a note of inquiry to Mr. II.
Philadelphia. Oct. 17,190.
From injuries received in my right eye. wheu a
boy, a chronic inflammation had been produced, in
consequence of which I suffered constant martyr
dom. Every moment of my wakiug life w«s ernbit
tered, and I was frequently unable to sleep at night.
A variety of remedies had been resorted to with
out success, and I eutertained the purpose, as a last
resort, of having the ball takcu out of its socket, in
the hope of thus fiuding relief.
In the meantime, most providentially. I noticed
one day in a shop window a bottle of POOR RICH
ARD’S EYE WATER. I had never hcaid ot it be
fore, but determined to try it, and did, with the most
delightful results. In a very few’ days the painful
irritation was removed; 1 could bear the strongest
light, and went forth to the enjoyment of a new life.
I now keep a bottle of it always in the house, and if
my eye seems at all disposed to annoy me, I give it a
dose, aud that is an end of it. I would not be with
out it for auy amount of money. I take occasion to
say, ftirther, that my wife used to suffer severely at
times from protracted paiu in aud over her eye-, and
she has found Poor Richard s Eye Water a sov
ereign specific in her case, giving her almost instant
relief. Orateful to God for the benefit that I have
personally received, I oauuot but commend the prep
aration to all who have been sufferers like myself.
P. 8. HENSON,
Pastor of Broad Street Baptist Church.
Residence 1430 Poplar St., Philadelphia.

Is truly s Sovereign Remedy for Inflamed and Dis
eased Eyes, Dim VisioL and Weak Eyes, Deafness,
Noise in the Head, Catarrh. Rheumatism and Neu

the ear by a small glass tube, which, together with
the Water, may be obtained at the principal Drug
