Mrs. Livermore will leave Boston the first of January tor an extended lecturing tour in the south and west. Prof. Kaphaci Pumpelly has accepted the po sition of state geologist tor Missouri; an ap pointment that recognizes his lame attainments and experience in practical science. There have been 117 notices of petitions to the legislature filed in the secretary of state’s office up to to-day, being one-third more than in any past similar period. The friends of Kev. L. A. Grimes, pastor of 12th Baptist church in Boston, will bring him forward as candidate for the chaplaincy of the Massachusetts senate. Kev. Mr. Vibbert, a member of the house last year from Rockport, but now settled in East Boston, will receive a good support as candidate for chaplain of the house. During the progress of his lecture in East Boston, Friday evening, Kev. Mr. Cudworth suddenly remembered that he had promised to marry a couple in his own church at that hour, and asked for fifteen minutes’ leave of absence. Tec organist improved the time by playing the Wedding March, and on Mr. ('udworth s return the lecture was resumed. The dumb animals fair, which Las been a de cided success from first to last, closed Satunhn evening with a grand promenade concert in the upper hall. Music was furnished by the Ger mania and Gilmore's bands combined, and the ball was densely filled. Probably no fair held in {Boston ever met with better success in the disposition of their goods, nearly all the articles upon exhibition being disposed 01. All ot the tables can boast of good receipts. .Mrs. Win. Appleton’s table realized nearly SG0O0; the Salem table $1700; Mrs. Fax’s table of preserves fully $1800; the Oriole table a round SIOOO, and Mrs. Dow’s donation table about the same amount. The gross receipts of the twelve days of the fair figure up about $25,000, and the net proceeds will amount to fully $20,000. Mr M. M. Ballou, the son of Hosea Ballou, the great apostle of Universalism in this coun try, is .about to engage in an important news paper enterprise in Boston. Mr. Ballou began newspaper life as one of the publishers ol the Bay State Democrat, in Boston, more than thirty years ago. He failed in this, ami went to writing novelettes for Mr. Gleason, who was the originator of successful story-papers in Boston. By and by he bought out Mr. Gleason, and ran the business in his own name. The first pictorial paper in America was published by Mr. Gleason, and afterwards by Mr. Ballou. Both gentleman made fortunes in the business, ami Mr. Ballou invested largely in real estate after he retired, building the St. James hotel as one of his enterprise*. Now he proposes to re enter the newspaper field, not with a weekly pictorial, as has been reported, but with a daily paper, which shall run in competition with the Journal, Advertiser, Post, and the rest. Rumor is to the effect that the new journal is to be on a large scale in all its departments, and will aim to do for Boston what the Tribune, Times and Herald do for New York. In an article on the railroads running out of Boston, the Advertiser gives the following facts: The comparison with the preceding year is difficult, because the returns published by the railroad commissioners last year included but ten months' business, but an approximation may be made by adding one-fifth to the amounts returned for ten months. Following this rule wc find that the increase of the num her of passengers carried by the Boston and Maine railroad is 3 per cent; of the Boston and Albany 5 per cent; of the Eastern 8 per cent; of the Lowell 16 per cent; of the Old Colony 22 per cent; of the Providence 25 percent; of the Hart ford and Erie 70 per cent. The Fitchburg alone exhibits a loss of 8 per cent. The total number of passengers carried during the ten months ending September BJ, 1870, by these eight rail roads was 18,562,819, or, by our rule, at the rate ot 22,275,883 forayear. During the year end ing with September, 1871, the same roads car ried 25,202,338—a gain of 2,928,950,0 rof 11} per cent. The gtosseamings for the ten months ot last year of all eight railroads were $18,629,810, at the rate of $16,855,772 for the twelvemonths. In the year ending September 80th last they re ceived $17,862,492, an increase ot but nine per cent; but the net income increased from $3,- 727,711 ($4,473,251 tor the year,; to $5,098,487—a gain of more than fourteen per cent. MIDDLESEX COUNTY. The funeral services of the late George Fair grieves, a former prominent member of the Odd Fellows’ fraternity, were held on Sunday after noon in Hurd street M. E. church, Lowell. Bishop Tunic, of Salt Lake City, preached in the Episcopal church at Lowed, on Sunday, upon his missionary work in Utah, Montana, and other places in that section. He related many interesting incidents. The annual report of the city marshal of Lowell shows 2846 arrests during the past year, of which 2011 were caused directly by rum; 2183 were Irish, 426 American; 1240 were prosecuted. William Avery, the youngest son of Deacon Erastus Avery of Groton, was thrown from a horse which he was riding, on Friday, and re ceived internal injuries winch resulted fatally. At about 12 o'clock, Saturday night, Murty Quinlan, a notorious rough, assaulted James McLean, on Winter street, Lowell, and in the fracas bit off a portion of the nasal appendage of the latter. The assault had its origin proba bly in an old grudge existing between the par ties from a fight about two jears ago, in, which McLean stabbed Quinlan. At Lowell, Saturday’ evening, Nathaniel Gookin, while at the signal station of the North ern depot, missed his footing in some way as the cab train was passing to the Merrimack street depot, and, falling under the wheels, had both legs so badly mutilated that amputation was rendered necessary. The unfortunate man lin gered until about ten o'clock, when he expired in great agonv. He was in his fifty-ninth year, and leaves five children. His remains are to be carried to Boscawen, N. H., on Wednesday next for interment. ESSEX COUNTY. The fiftieth anniversary of the weddins of the Kev. Benjamin King of Lynn, a veteran lo al minister of the Methodist denomination for forty years, was duly commcmoiatcd last week. More than two hundred persons, old and young, met on the occasion and presented Mr. King, through Kev. J. C. Smith, bis pastor, with nearly 5300. In the double murder, at Lynn, already de scribed in these columns, the principals were a man named William Vanner, ami a woman who was the wife of one Thomas Jones, who tor some time lived together as man and wile. A anner was born in Washington, Knox county, Me., and has through life borne the reputation of a dangerous character. When a young man he attended a militia muster, supplied with a bottle of liquor, from which one of bis comrades took a drink against his wishes. This so in censed him that he struck the man on the head with the bottle, inflicting serious wounds, and disfigured him for life. He joined the army during the war of the rebellion, and upon one occasion drew a revolver upon a lieutenant, whereupon be was knocked down, and with great difficulty|prevented from killing the officer. Vanner married in Maine, where be has a wile now living, and whom he abandoned for the woman who has now fallen a victim to his un bridled passions. He was addicted to strong dnnk, and when under the influence of liquor manifested a murderous disposition. In June last, during an altercation with bis paramour, her mother, Mrs. Luce, interfered, wheieupon be stabbed the mother in the abdomen, and flee ing from justice, came to Lynn, where he ob tained employment, passing under the assumed name oi m. Brown. Mrs. Vanner was a rather comely woman, some eight years the se nior of her murderer, for whom she forsook the husband ot her youth, who, after residing in -difornia several years, returned, and finding her faithless, returned to the Pacific coast where, according to one account, be died of a broken heart; another report makes him still alive ami undivorced. NORFOLK COUNTY. Chas. Amory of Nahant and Samuel R. Pay son of Boston, are the executors of the will of flic late Dr. Oliver Dean of Franklin. PLYMOUTH COUNTY.

B U 001, the town clerk and treas urer, on Centre street, by breaking a window in the rear. The safe, containing the town records ami funds of the treasury, was blown open with gunpowder, the force of the explosion bcim' such as to overturn the stove, tables and desk" and create a scene of general confusion. The rear end ol the building, a one-story structure, M’as started off. The burglars obtained from this safe about 81500, mostly in cash. Alter en tering several other places and obtaining some more money, they entered a livery stable and stole a horse and Carriage and drove to Taun ton, wlnre the yleft the team. BRISTOL COUNTY.

The Dover I atari I of education recently decided to introduce draw ing into all the schools below the high, on a new principle. The Portsmouth Chronicle suggests that the total defeat of the democracy in Manchester city was “occasioned by the purchase of copperhead voters with jobs on the Manchester navy yard,” which joke will be appreciated by those who read the Portsmouth democratic organ. The Rochester Courier says that Mr. Charles W. Jenkins, in six months time, stitched on a sewing machine 1500 blankets, twenty-five yards in a blanket, making 40,28 b yards, or 120,840 feel, or twenty-two miles of .stitching, using 159,000 yaids or nearly seventy-four miles of thread. I his was done at the Norway Plains coiporation. The Dover Enquirer, after giving the figures in relation to the Manchester election, says: “1 bis victory, tollowing so closely the large re publican gain m Portsmouth and the decisive republican majority in this city, shows the democracy what they have to expert in the spring, when the entire stale will have an op portunity-to pronounce its verdict. 1 hey al ready sec the handwriting on the wall. Wc be lieve nothing can save them from an over whelming defeat; but to make it the mole crushing and irreversible, it heroines the repub licans to make wise nominations ami to work heartily and harmoniously together until the day of election. VERMONT. W. H. Fletcher has been appointed postmas ter at Lyndonville, vice 11. K Dewey resigned. Forefathers' day has been regularly observed at Middlebury since 1842, and the usual festival will take place on Thursday evening, the 21st, to suit the corrected calendar of events adopted by the Pilgrim society at Plymouth.

We offer for sale at par and accrual interest, the First Mortgage Land Grant Gohl Bunds OF THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPAAY. These Bonds are payable in 1900—hear 7 3-10 per cent Interest in OOI.D, payable first of July and January are FK EE OF U. S. TAX— are receivable at IO PER CEXT PREMIUM for the Company's lands at the LOWEST CASH PKICE.and are Issued in the following denominations: Coupon bonds, $l6O, SSOO, ami $1,000; Registered bonds, SSOO, SI,OOO, $5,000 ami SIO,OOO. The Company is allowed “to negotiate and procure a loan which shall not exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars per mile,” which is secured bv a FIKST and ON EY HORTOAOE, “UPON THE KAIE KOAD, FRANCHISES. AND ALL THE LAN DS AXD PKOPERT Y, AND KIGHTS OF PROPERTY, KEAE AND PERSONAE, NOW IN POSSES SION BY THE NORTHERN PACI FIC RAILROAD COMPANY, OK WHICH THE SAID COMPANY MAY HEREAFTER ACQUIRE,” an I THE TRUSTEES OF THE BONDS AKE OBLIGED TO HOLD 25,000 A<’KES OF AVERAGE LAND As SECURITY FOR EVERY $50,000 OF RON OS ISSUED. The sales of all land.-, “AT SUCH PRICES AS APPROVED BY THE SAID TRUSTEES,” are set apart to redeem the Bonds, for by the definite terms of the mortgage. “THE PROCEEDS OF ALL SALES OF LANDS, WHET’HEK IN o,ooo of bonds, there would be a surplus of $17,590 over the amount of bonds that can be issued on each mile of the Northern Pacific Railroad. During the present month the Northern Pacific Rail road will be opened for passengers and freight to the Red River of the North, theeastern boundary of Dakota Territory—this, with the completed road on the Pacific slope,and the St. Paul and Pacific branches of 288 miles will mike nearly 600 miles of road in operation at the close of this year. As the U. S. Government is now calling in the Five Twenties, holders of these can convert them into North cm Pacific Bonds, and thereby IN UREA Si: THEIR INCOME MORE THAN 33 I’3 PER CENT. At the present time a good pro;><>r lion of the sales of N. P. Bonds are by the conversion of Five-Twenties, ana we notice that the Boston Journal in its monetary article of Nov. llth, says “Holders (of Five-Twenties of 1862) are either realizing upon them, or exchanging them into other issues-often into rail road bonds—the Northern Pacific Seven-Thirtits arc favorites for reinvestment.” The Chicago dhastcr frilly demonstrated that a First Mortgage Bond on any Trunk Line of railroad is the safest and least fluctuating security known. This Is manifest inone quite marked instance, as seen in the fluctuation of the First Mort gage Bonds of the Michigan Central Railroad, which fell but one percent, in the late financial panic, while U. 8. Five-Twenties and Sixes of 1881 fluctuated two to three per cent.; and lien* the Michigan Central Railroad had met with the greatest loss it could by tire-the burning of its large terminal depot. The New York Daily Bulletin, which gives the authentic reports of the Stock Exchange, in its Issue of the llth of October, after the Chicago tire, says: ‘•Rail road Bonds have stood the shock better than any other class of securities,” and again, October 18th, says: “Railroad Bonds are steadier than any other ciass of securities.’’ GV'To persons seeking permanent investments, also holders of Government Bonds wishing to increase their income, WE WOU LD R E<’OM MEN D THE NORTHERN PACIFIC BEVi,\. THIRTY GOLD BONDS AS ONE OF THE BEST AND SAFEST SECURI TIES NOW OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC. Wc recommend this bond for the reason that It Is GROUNDED UPON A LANDED REAL ESTATE BASIS, WORTH DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF BONDS ISSUED PER MILE, AND ALSO UPON A FULLY EQUIPPED TRUNK LINE OF RAILROAD RUNNING THROUGH THE SAME. For furt her particulars concerning this Bond, or pur chase of the same, apply to the undersigned. SAM E T. BIGELOW, SE< RETA RY Worcester Safe Deposit and Trust Co. GEO. F. WOOD.
