BRIEF JoTTINas.-Yesterday was cold, rainy
and cloudy with occasional peeps of sunshine.
Thermometer 63 o.-The steamer Ella will run
for the winter between St. Augustine and
Jacksonville, Florida.-The merchants are
bound to have their excursion to Alfred before
winter sets in, and will try it on again tomor-
row. We think the third trial will be sure to
be successful.-We saw yesterday couple OF
specimen tickets for the Hop and Clam Bake
to be given to the Ancient and Honorable Ar
tillery Company of Boston. They are very
prettily gotten up. We understand that it
will be the best clam bake we Portlanders have
been interested in this year.-Miss Sallie Bar
ton is stopping at the Falmouth Hotel-It is
curious to note the effect of the great gale Of
the 9th inst. on the trees in the woods at Cape
Elizabeth. Many are blown down fat, while
others look as if the first gentle puff OF wind
would be sure to bring them down.-The equi-
noctial produced some fine breakers at the
Cape yesterday morning early, but as the wind
went down so did the breakers.-The wind Of
Sunday night tore to pieces the awning Oh

PHANS OF AvoNDALE.
PLYMOUTH, Sept. N.-The Trustees OF the
Avondale fund for widows and orphans, met
to-day and adopted plan for the distri-
outlon of the funds that reach them Inc
Trustees elected E. G. Wadhams, President;
ID. Gaylord, Treas; VIM. l.. Wilson, Secre.
tary and Diltribution Agent. The plan OF
distribution for the first year is as follows:
Each widow will be paid the sum of $2OO'
in equal monthly payments. Each male or
phan child under IA years of age and each
female orphan child under 16 years shall be
paid for the same period. 300 in the same
manner. The children over the ages mention
ed will be paid in full, sum not exceeding
1900. To meet special cases not embraced IN
the foregoing, $4,000 was voted. aEas
These provisions are made for their aid ana
relief until the first day of October, 1870, and
will absorb all but $4,000. The remainder OF
the funds are to be invested carefully in good
securities that can be converted into cash when
required, and to constitute fund divisible on
the following basis: 1-3 to constitute the Wild
ows fund, and the remaining 3d. the orphans
fund. From these funds, the widows and or
phans are to receive quarterly payments until
the whole is exhausted. The bonds of the
Treasurer were fixed at $4,000. The board
adjourned to meet at Plymouth, Saturday,

The w. d. B.-We understand the schoon-
er-not the brig, w. D. B., was picked up
about Is miles from Wood Island by two fish
ing schooners and lowed within about five
miles of Wood Island, and then the steam tug
Uncle Sam and Tiger took her in tow and
carried her into Wood Island outer harbor.--
Then she laid some days bottom up and a
couple OF sloops tried to turn her over, but were
unable to do SO, and the schooner Nellie Chase
then went and turned her over and she was
towed to this port by the Uncle Sam Friday
night Her chains and anchor were on her and
nearly all her rigging and sails. Two trunks
were found in her, which were locked, but ne
bodies. The sails were in bad condition. TIL,
masts were gone.

Guiding municipal delegates, Governors OF
States, members of Congress, representatives
OF boards of trade, mechanics institutes and
kindred bodies; railroad officials, and active
business men will take part in its proceedings.
As to the organization OF the convention it
would be premature to speak, except to say
that the Hon. and venerable Gerritt Smith
will open the proceedings by an address of
welcome.
From Maine large deleg alton is expected,
for next to the lake ports represented, Port.
land Is the important point to be affected.
There are some indications that the CITY of
Boston will favor the limo from Oswego to
Rutland, competing at that point with Port
land for western trade. From New York no
favoring responses are yet received.
We deem IL proper to say in this connection,
that parties going BY the Grand Trunk can
leave Portland as late as 135 P. NJ on Monday,
Oct. 4th, reaching Montreal at $50 Tuesday
morning, leaving for Prescott at $50 A. M,
reaching Prescott at P. NJ, crossing the river
to Ogdensburgh, and taking the Oswego train
over the Rome & Watertown Railroad at 2 P.
NJ, reaching Oswego at $50 Tuesday evening.
The convention meets at 10 A. M. of Wednes.
day, and will continue its sessions some days,
rendering ii probable that parties who desire it
can return to Portland by Saturday night
Those who choose can remain at Montreal, Og-
densburgh, the White Mountains, and other
places on the way, during the following week.
AS pleasure excursion, it would be difficult to
get up more attractive programme. The fare
for the round trip from Portland to Prescott,
opposite Ogdensbnrgh 4l0 miles, will be $780,
and half fare from Ogdensburg to Oswego, 1876
miles; 50 that the whole fare will not exceed
$1,000, probably $500. We have not the exact
figures as to the fare from Ogdensburgh. Ex-
press trains will be run if need be, to accommo-
date the delegates, so that no delay will occur
by failure of connections.
There is good deal Of curiosity to see o.
densburgh and compare its business and facili-
ties with those Of Oswego. Some parties, we
are informed, will join this excursion, and on
reaching Oswego, proceed farther south and
west-after the Convention is over. Several
delegates will be accompanied by ladies.
