A "REMINISCENCES, AND AN INCIDENT OF
TIE FIRE-During the revolutionary war,
when Mowatt burned the town of Portlanu,
| an infant of but few weeks age was removed
| from house on Fore street below India street.
and taken out of town for safety. The house
was burned down. During the confagration
| on Wednesday night, that same infant was re-
moved from a house erected on the spot where
/ stood the one burned by Mowatt, from which
ninety years ago she had been removed, and
she was once more taken to place of safety
| 1t was the venerable Miss Hannah Thorlo
the daughter of Capt. Peter Thorlo. Her faith
er run. packet from Portland during the rev.
olutionary war and after. She is now Oh years
of age, of infirm health, but possessing re-
markably bright mind. Fortunately the house
of her childhood was untouched by the fire,
though it was supposed at one time that every
building in that vicinity would be destroyed.

BAsENEss.-Some females IN good circun-
stanceswho were not burned out and who reside
far from the scene of the confagration, have
had the baseness to apply to the Executive
Committee for daily rations, under assumed
names and alleging that they were burned out
and lost every thing. They have received tick
cts and drawn daily rations. Yesterday some
of these characters were discovered, and they
were informed that if they made their appear
ance again they would be taken to the lookup.
| LosT GooDs.-Many people have lost goods,
clothing, furniture, &C., which were carried in
wrong direction on the night of the fire.
They are suffering for them. Persons having
articles mixed in by mistake, or left at the
wrong place, will do a great favor by notifying
through the Press, where they may be obtain
ed. There ought to be depot established
where these goods may be deposited.
FIFTEEN hundred of the Walker Horse
Pitchfork, sold in Maine this season, and four
hundred in Cumberland County. This is an
excellent article and sells more readily in parts
where the utility of pitchfork is acknow-
lodged, than where there are none in use
Persons wishing to procure one for present
use cannot be too soon with their orders. !.
COUNTY OrF1cEs.-The Municipal Court and
Police Station are on the first floor Of the Chest
nut Street School House
/ The Registry Of Deels, Probate Office and
County Treasurer's Office are in the second story.
The court room ofthe Supreme Judicial Court,
the Clerk of the Courts Office, and the County
Commissioners Office, are in the third story.
BODIES FoUND.-The bodies of Zabina
Chickering and his mother were yesterday ex-
humed from the ruins of their late residence
in the rear Of Washington street. They have
been missing since the fire, and as nothing
was heard of them, fears were entertained
that they had met with an untimely fate.
