CATTLE
With larger number of cattle on
sale than there has been for several
weeks past, and but very few foreign
buyers, the market was little tame
to-day, though, In reality, 30 FAR as We
could see, there Is no change in prices.
Prime to extra cattle sold at from SI<
to exc which is fully as high as last
week; there are more good cattle on
sale than there has been for sey-
eral weeks past, and our butchers
experienced no difficulty in ma
king selections, though, IL Is true, they
had to pay pretty well for the privilege.
There Is q continued good demand for
stock cattle, and We can report sales of
common to prime western stock steers
at from 5H to 61<c, and even &c. How
long the present exorbitant prices viii
pc maintained It Is difficult at this writ
ing 70 conjecture; there Is usually n
breakdown in the market when grass
cattle commence to come in, and We
can see no reason why this spring
should be an exception, unless it hinges
ON scarcity.

Tho Grand srunk hallway.

Mr.. EDITOR, Il do not profess to be rail-
road man and perhaps do not understand rail-
road matters we'll enough to write about them,
but l know something of the condition of
roads when pass over them and can decide
whether the cars are running on the iron or
the sleepers. Considerable has been written
about the Grand Trunk railway, and probably
some unjust as well as just articles have been
published. I shall not attempt to criticize
their articles but will give my idea of the state
of things on this road. On going to the White
Mountains in August passed over the road
to Gorham, N. FL. and found it very rough,
and in many places where examined the
iron found it worn badly. On inquiry, 1
was informed, that at that time there were
twenty freight trains running per day besides
the regular passenger trains. 1t was not SUR
prising then that in some places it had begun
to show evidences of hard usage. Last week
passed over it again to Bethel and was sur
prised to see the improvement that had been
made in its condition. Twenty-Five miles of
new iron have been laid between Portland and
Island Pond and q passenger train can now
run ON time, if not interrupted by freight
trains. VI course in some places the road is
rough yet, but it has been arranged SO that in
most cases the worn ironsis laid where the
grades and curves require slow running. A
great deal of praise is due the management.
for this improvement; and the travelling pub
lie have reason to thank Henry Bailey, Jr,
and the gentlemanly conductors Messrs
Gould and Whitney--for their excellent man
agement In avoidi1s eoeidonts turing the
time wnen the road was in a bad condition.

RECEPTACLE FOR CLOTHES LINE THIEVES
We mentioned Saturday the arrest of two girls
for larceny from clothes lines in this city; also
the arrest of Mrs. Winnifred Cunningham, in
whose house, on Fore street, some of the stolen
articles had been found
On Saturday officers Pencil and Haiues
searched the house of Mrs. Cunningham pref
ty thoroughly, and found large quantity of
goods OF all kinds that are usually exposed on
clothes lines, and which had undoubtedly been
stolen. The articles were taken to tue police
office where portions of them were identified
by different parties rs having been stolen from
them. There are many articles We. remaining,
and those who have lost by these thieves are
requested TO call at the police office this AFTER
noon and see if they can identify any of them.
Mrs. Cunningham is an old offender. She has
been before the Municipal Court several times
for larceny and drunkenness. She would 60
out with the girls and point out the enclosures
they were to enter and would then take the ar.
t'cles they stole. The goods taken from ner
house were found concealed between the beds,
under the beds, under the floor, and in trunks
and boxes in various parts OF the house. We
think her career in this line is brought to an
end for an in 1efinte period

The WEATHER. Saturdav yvaa tho

The WEATHER. Saturday was the most
uncomfortable day, for pedestrians, of the sea-
son. A raw northeast wind SWEPT through the
streets, raising clouds of dust, while the heavy
skies betokened snow storm. Late in the
evening. or very early in the morning, a fail of
snow occurred about one inch and a halt in
depth, sufficient to robe tie house tops and the
streets in white mantle, but hardly fulfilling
the promise of a severe storm the day previous
Sunday was bright clear da,, and the out
line of the mountains was most distinctly de.
fined to the spectator from the head of High
street, as they glowed in the warm coloring
from the rays of the setting sun.

time he had fixed upon. A despatch from
Biddeford stated that it was on account of
l'meness that Weston only made % miles on

raw and dusty, and threatening a storm at
every moment and the other that it was Sat.
urday evening, when people are making pur.
chases for Sunday. The music was not Of a
high order, but was OF pleasing character
and very well rendered, particularly the "He,.
ter-Skelter Galop," although at times the notas
of the cornet were little wiry. Their time was
very good. We hope on the next occasion tho
public will be more generous with their nat
ronage, although the Band were well satisfied
with the size of their audience. These con.
certs are to be given Saturday evening until
further notice.
