Cart LUcE's HisToRY-James g.
Luce was born at Rochester Mass, in the
year 1906, and is consequently at this time
forty eight years Of age. AT the age Of l6
years he commenced his career as a mari
ner, and so successful was he in all of the
subordinate positions he occupied, that be-
fore he was twenty one he was placed in
command of ship, and from that time up
to 1880, hc was very successful com
monder. In that year, on accornt of the
eminence he had attained as a skillful navi-
gator and able captain, he was invited to
the command. ..of the noble steamer Arctic.
lie accepted the invitation and obtained
popularity both for himself and that noble
vessel, seldom equalled and never exceed
ed and his noble conduct subsequent to
the recent calamity, has crowned him with
laurels which in coming years will remain
ever green, and will associate his name in
the future with all that is brave and self
sacrificing.
+ In Capt. Luce's experience as n Com
mander, he never met with an accident un-
I'll May last, when as the Arctic was pass
ing the southern coast of Ireland on her
voyage home, the last previous to this, she
struck on the Tuscar rock, but was speed

cd it prudent 10 return to Liverpool, in or
der that the full extent of the damage
might be ascertained 1t was found that
the injury was slight and she was enabled
to resume her voyage in few days.
\ Another singular fact connected with the
history of the vessels which he commanded
prior TO his taking the Arctic is, that seven
out Of the nine were lost after he left them.
Captain Luce has been twice married. -

D"The Parade has been IN confusion
and disorder now for about four years; i'm
provements have been sometimes in pro-
gress and sometimes delayed, to the great
annoyance AMI discomfort, not only of the
residents of that vicinity, but also Of all per-
sons who have occasion to pass there
For nearly four years immense banks of
dirt have been heaped up against the Mall;
last Autumn the lower part of the Parade
was repaired and put in most excellent or
der, under the supervision of Mr.. Brownell,
the Street Commissioner the alterations
of the upper part, which are made by the
State, under the Superintendance of Mr.. f.
o. Angel, are nearly completed and
there is now small space in the centre to
be repaired, and then the work will be
complete. 1t is well known that the Street
Commissioner has as much work on hand,
in different parts of the City, as he can
possibly attend to; and it is utterly ont of
the question for him TO complete the repairs
on the Parade the present year. In con-
sequence Of this, petition has been pre-
pared and is now being signed, request
ing the City Council to employ Mr..
f. o. Angel, who has charge of the
State work, 10 Immediately complete the
bslance of the work this petition will be
presented to the Council, at the meeting on
Monday night, and we trust that they will
act fayorably upon it, as the interests and
welfare Of the City require that they should.
There has been several accidents to per-
sons, in consequence Of The impaired con-
diton Of the Parade, and the want OF prop
er lights at night; and in one case, at least,
demand has already been made upon the
City for damages, which the City will he
compelled TO pay. Under all these circum-
stances, i, seems to US that propricty and
wisdom dictate that the City should at once
employ Mr.. Aagel to complete these re-
p'irs, which h? will probably be willing to
/ do, and tia; without further delay.
