RELIEF FOR THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH We
learn from the Hartford Courant, that on Sun
day, 18th inst, the pastor of the First Baptist
church of that city, called on Mr.. A. F. Hast
ings, president of the North American Insur-
ance Company Of Hartford, to state some facts
that had come to his knowledge while at Port
land relative to the losses by the First Baptist
church here. The recital drew forth the spon-
taneous collection of over four hundred dollars,
which was afterwards increased to five hundred
dollars. We understand that q check for this
amount has been received by DR.. Shailer, and
is held as the nucleus of fund to rebuild the
church. ~ t-rgf ore 48TaHr
The contributors to this fund of $500 have
literally aided the general subscription in Hart
ford, and are besides largely interested in insur
ance companies which have lost by the fire.
Every loss Of the North American company
Represented in this city by Mr.. W. d. Little.)
was promptly paid before President Hastings
left town, without case OF difficulty or dispute.
The total loss of this company amounted to over
$3.50 900.

TRIAL TRIP.-The steamer New England,
which was burned at st. John a little over
year ago, has been thoroughly rebuilt and re-
fitted, Capt. Joseph W. Dyer having done the
carpentry and joiner work and the Portland
Company having furnished the machinery.
Among other improvements the steamer will
be lighted with gas. The trial trip was made
Saturday, and was very satisfactory. The
steamer will take her place upon the st. John
route next Wednesday, under her old comman-
der, who has personally superintendent the en-
tire work of rebuilding. During Saturdays

The Executive Committee of Relief call es-
peeial attention to the following suggestions:
1t is believed that the distribution of vari-
Gus articles, for relief of the sufferers by the
1lre, is proceeding as fairly and safely as the
many expressing duties Of the Committee will
allow. Instances of imposture will and must
occur In spite of all precaution. but it is
thought these will be very few, if the commu-
nifty at large will observe the following re-
quirements:
l. Never give recommendation to any
person, unless you can state from your per-
sonal knowledge, not merely the general
good character of the applicants, but also
their real and exact wants; above all, never
give a recommendation to any. merely to rid
Yourself of their opportunities.
! 2. Remember that your duties to the
agents of this charity imperatively require,
that YOU should not make general charges of
imposition. calculated to unsettle the public
mind, but that you report directly and pre-
cisely all cases of fraud to the Executive Com
mittee, who are prepared with special or
ganization to investigate such charges as may
be Offered. E3 ga s1E8&E 1853.
g. The penalties of the law are ample, ana
the Executive Committee pledge themselves,
with the cooperation OF the citizens, to prose-
cute to the full extent of the law all persons
liable to the charges of deception, and obtain
ing, by false pretences, goods from the gener-
GUS contributions Of the public. Per order,

A HANDSOME DoNATIoN.-The business
men of Minneapolis yesterday shipped hun
bred barrels of -four to the sufferers by the
late fire at Portland, Maine,-a noble example
OF generosity, for which our prosperous sister
city deserves to be honorably remembered, and
which we commend to the imitation of St.
Paul This generous act, however, is probably
inspired by something more than the ordinary
sympathy which remote western town might
be expected to feel for the sufferers by confa-
grafton in our easternmost State. For many
of the principal business men of Minneapolis,
especially those engaged in the manufacture
of lumber, are natives Of Maine-and the
Maine element at the Falls is far larger than
at any point in the State. This munifcent
gift to the afflicted Portlanders, then, doubt
less owes something Of its magnitude and
promptitude to the warm and cordial affec-
ton which the sons OF Maine cherish towards
the old Pine State and the old folks at home.
How many barrels of -four will st. Paul Or
der from the Cataract or some other mills to
feed the houseless inhabitants OF Portland p

We have before adverted to the very gen.
erous consideration which has been extended
to the merchants of Portland since the fire
by their correspondents in other cities. The
following letter, which is only one of many, has
been pat into our hands with the request that
some notice of its contents be prepared for
publication. No notice can so well convey its
purport as the simple, business-like document
itself, which we accordingly print entire, as

diate want of amount of your account, and

more important duties are pressing upon your

more fortunate than others, and were intend
ing remittance, please contribute $3.50 for the
relief of individual suffering thar NAV come

MECHANICS TRAIN.-Mr. Chase, the efici-
lent Superintendent of the P. S. & P. Railroad
commences with to-day an extra train to ac-
commodate the mechanics of Biddeford and
Saco, who may be working in this city. The
train leaves Biddeford at 6 O'Clock every
morning, except Sunday, returning at twenty
past six in the evening. Such train must be
a great accommodation to the mechanics of
Saco and Biddeford
The above mentioned train does not super
cede the accommodation train from Biddeford
which will leave at halt past eight o'clock in
the morning, instead of eight as heretofore.

To THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS. a6 dtn
notice, in looking over the burnt district,
that the greater part of the walls of brick
houses are mostly standing, some wholly and
some partly. What are standing had better
be left to remain and repair. It will save much
labor and material, for, if torn down and
cleaned and rebuilt, a large part of the bricks
will be broken and spoilt. In these hard, try
ing times, economy and savings are worthy OF
notice.
If the granite underpinnings are cracked
break off the loose pieces and repair with
cement, and moisten the rocks well, before
laying the cement, and when dry it will be as
good as before. seaa@ j. MORGAN.
