Mr. Elias Millis intends running a weekly freight packet on the canal between this place and Cincinnati. Ashe s a faithful and accommodating man, business cannot be entrusted to better bancs. As we have neither fire engine, buckets or cisterns of waters, to extinguish fires in our town, we hope all our people will insure their property. There are two agencies in town for companies, whose solvency and promptness have been thoroughly tested. They are the best that ever have been established. They are the Hartford Protection, A. Ward, agent; and the Indiana Mutual, M. W. Haile, agent. Then get insured, or if you are burnt out do not cry over it, and ask your neighbors to contribute to your necessities. Insure, then sleep soundly.

From tile i:1itnr.- IR. . Pi.btlard, Me. Jcke 16,1853. -This is the city of Maine, and its inhabitants think it is the city of the world. The love of home is the prevailing trait of all New England. Let them wander where they will, they sigh for the rocks and pines the hills and brooks

of their native, home. It is a beautiful j trait in the Jtoman character not particularly a virtue, but & nature. Were it a virtue it would love only the pure, the good, the best. But this love of our primitive home, clusters around as well

the barren rock, the sterile waste or the putrid morass, as it does upon the rich and yaried landscape where it appears as though the Creator had exerted his power to make earth beautiful and lovely, that it may engross our earthly desires, and thereby require of us faith to purify our love of God and heaven. But Portland is a beautiful city to any one whether livins on the broad and

rich savannahs of the West, or the sweet and ever blooming everglades of the south. It has all the variety of scenery surreunding it that earth affords. They have the broad ocean with its ever restless tides, the numerous isles that adorn and beautify Casco Bay, looking more like aland of enchantment, than reality. Then on the West they see in the distance the proud mountain peak far above the 6torms and tumult of this world. Nor is the natural scenery all that attracts the attention. The city has been built by men of taste of architectural taste, in which the rich blending of science and money, have built a city the sight of which makes one feel comfortable all the time. The streets, shade

the advancing hosts of the temperance arrny in other Statesi They say it would politically kill every matt that voted for its repeal. They do Vote for its

repeal, but so long as the law is unre

pealed no excitement can be raised against those who voted against it. Portsmouth, from whence we write, is about the only seaport in N. II. and is the county seat of Rockingham county, the best farming lands in the State,

and we believe the best county in New England. This city is at the mouth of the Piscataqua river, three miles from the Ocean proper. It is an old town, and is not unknown in the history of the trying times of the country. As early as 1623, this city was settled, when it belonged to the Massachusetts colony.

f rom that time to about 1 50, it suffered severely from the French and Indian wars, led on principally by the Jesuits of Canada. In early days too it suffered from two devastating fires. About 1800 or 1801, it was nearly all burned, and about 1823 it was again more than half

in several instances, tno ill ettects usually resulting from the bite of a rabid

dog. There are now three stones of

this kind In this place, all of which we

have seen, and some of which, we think,

ought o be at Cincinnati or Chicago, where hydrophobia is prevalent, that they might be tried practically, and scientifically tested by competent persons. The difficulty however is, although the Faculty can do nothing for the disease, they would pronounce the stone a humbug, and would be unwilling to test it, tearing, perhaps, the jeers of their neigh

bors, especially, if an application of the stone should be unsuccessful. The stone we have is an inch by an inch and an eighth square, and half and inch thick. It is evidently a production of the sea, seeming to have a coral formation the deposit of insects. It is porous, and lighter than limestone. It is soraethinrr of a shell formation. In

The 4th at Brookville. The hastily gotten up Pick Nic passed off finely on the 4th, with a few exceptions. The music was fine, the women pretty, the cakes good, and the speeches eloquent. The only drawback wa6 the arrangement of the speakers. It was intended that several tpeechts of ten minutes each should be delivered. By the selection of Rev.T. M. Eddy, to take the lead, all common men were frightened from the attempt, and no one dared follow in his wake, except probably the Rev. W. W. Hibben, who saved his reputation by making an appropriate apology. But the speech of Mr. Eddy was sufficient. They adjourned in good order at a reasonable hour say half after 12.

OThe suits for damages against the : L. &. U. M. Railroad, in Ripley county, were knocked into a cocked hat by the decision of the jury. Sume 810,000 were demanded, and only 250 granted. This is right. Men whose land has been increased in value some three or four dollars per acre.by the road passing through it , should not be upheld in asking exorbitant damages. Some people think that a railroad company, even in its infancy, although it is for their benefit, 1 should be made to pay enormous usury on the natural price of their property. : Such men should be placed on an oasis i in a desert of quicksand, 50, 000 miles from water and all manner of improvement, where a canal or railroad, a saw mill or a factory of any kind would be an utter impossibility. It would be danger- t ous to pull such men out of the gutter, for fear they would charge fifty cents for

or better. W heat is steady, with a fair demand at 1 ;22 for Western white, tnd Sl.23 for Genesee. Corn is scarce higher. Sales of 17.000 bushels t 676'Jc. for mixed and yellow. Pork ami Beef are steady. Lard is firm. Butter is steady.
