BOSTON. Oct. IA.
Notwithstanding all that is said about the unrc-
muneratve character OF the Boot and Shoe industry
OF New england, the complaints of some of our
manufacturers partaking of the nature Of chronic
malady the market continues be well SUPPLE

supply that stocks do not accumulate. In fact, q

AccIDENT.-Yesterday forenoon one of the
carpenters employed in rebuilding the steeple
of the Catholic Cathedral was standing on the
ground near the spot where the workmen who
were engaged on the steeple, were throwing the
pieces of lumber, sawed off from the posts and
supports, when piece of timber, about two
feet long by foot broad, struck him on the
shoulder-blade with such force as to break it,
and also to knock him down, thereby cutting
his face somewhat. The man was taken to his
home, and we learn is doing nicely. His name

MERCANTILE LIBRARY DEBATEs.-It will la
borne in mind that the debate as to whether
Corporal punishment promotes The religious
and moral growth of the people" continued
from last Saturday evening, will again be TAX
en- up this evening, and we trust that there
will be large attendance. These debates are
of great advantage to young men, as it makes
them thinkers as well as perfects their argu-

PORTLAND BAND CoNcERT.-It was a pity
the weather was so unpropitous last night, for
the audience at City Hall was a small one.
But those who were present, were amply re-
maid for their trouble by the music afforded
them. The gem of the evening was the fam
tasia sDream Pictures" The piano move
ment in the first part was very fine, and the
pizsicato playing by the first violin was exquis-
lily rendered. The different movements. like
the sudden changes of dream, were all beau
tifully executed, and we only wish, if it were
possible, that we could hear the same played
again, out of doors, as serenade, on still
moonlight evening. 1t reminded one at Tunes
of some Of the Tyrolean airs, and again OF the
"rauz DIES caches 1t was ese.vedly encored'
The remainder of the pieces showed good taste
in their selection, and wers very carefully
played The band numbered twenty pieces Oh
this occasion. After the concert, ten dances
were INDUCED in by the audience.

A FRUITFUL FAMILY The work of collect
ing the genealogical history ofthe Hall families
has progressed very rapidly, and will soon be
completed The following statistics of one
branch of that numerous family, furnished by
the Messrs. Halls of this city who are prepar-
ing the work, may not be uuinteresting. Ha-
tevil Hall, late of Falmouth, was born in Do
yer, N. III. about 1707-8. He married in 1888
-one hundred and thirty-six years ago. He
had Is children, and 1875 grandchildren, His
children of the third generation number near
~ eleven hundred and the fourth generation
make a respectable army of between four and
.fue thousand persons. The whole number of
descendants of this one man in 1876 years will
undoubtedly reach the respectable figures of
ten thousand. What other family in Maine
can show larger increase in 136 years. We
are informed that the histories of about 600
families of these descendants have been receiv-
ed and arranged for publication, and it is hop
ed that the balance will soon be forthcoming.
The record of large number of families of
Halls, not belonging to the branch above allud-
ed to are in the hands of the compilers. -

DEATH OF A wELL-KNowN TRADEsMAN.-
Mr.. w. D. Robinson, VIII has for many years
been engaged in the toy and periodical bust
ness in this city, died at his residence on
Bracket street yesterday morning. Previous
to the great fire of 1866, Mr.. Robinson had
been doing prosperous business on Exchange
street, but his insurance was effected in
company that paid very little percentage, if
any, on their losses, and Mr.. Robinson found
himself compelled to start anew, at an advanc-
ed age. His was one of those cases of men
completely broken down, body and mind, in a
single night. He reopened a store on Ex-
change street. for the same business, but his
health has been failing rapidly, and yesterday
he passed away. We are pleased to learn that
he leaves policy of insurance on his life,
which amounts to some $4,000. One of Mr.
Robinson's daughters married a son of the late
Rev. Dr. Payson. Mr.. Robinson was a man
universally respected by his fellow citizens.

ground clean. All other crops look
fine.
From Phelps down, most Of the
fields have been, OF are now, under
