The Portland Press says: s'Our estimate
of yesterday, that the number of buildings
destroyed was 1900, we are satisfied is too
low. We think it will come nearer 1900;
and 5000 families, embracing 10, 600 or 49,
900 persons, were rendered homeless. The
amount of the losses will aggregate to up
wards of $10,O00,000. Some persons set it
as high as $15,000,o00o The Portland
Argus says: g It is estimated that about
1000 buildings were burned, and property
destroyed to- the amount of $12,000.000,
which is probably insured for about one
half. The State valuation of the city was
$28, 600, 900, and the real valuation must
be over $50, 100000. Fully one third must
have been destroyed"

A writer in CasseJEs Family Paper ad
dresses the suhjoined lines to young lady
on hearing her sing popular song:


IN hearing her sing a popular song:
You wish Won were bird u
P-a don't be SO absurd,
A girl of our size and age
Wouldn't like to be in cage,
And fed ON canary seed
A fine bird you'd make, indeed;
How would you like to be
Obliged to live in tree,
Holding on by your feet,
With flies and worms to eat!
I'm sure you'd get no rest,
Tucked up in a nasty nest.
You's never have new things,
But b. always dress d in wings;
Out in ali sorts of weathers,
And n even a change Of feathers.
How would you manage TO speak,
With such ridiculous beak
Or to eat without Tacking your neck,
Bobbing up aud down for peck?
And as f,r wanting TO fly
Round about in the sky,
Rubbish its all my eyei
Do leave of being absurd.
And wishing TO be a bird.
