BRIEF JoTTINGS. storm of Thursday

once touched zero.-The new fire engine will
be tested this afternoon at the reservoir corner
of Cumberland and Preble streets at 8 o'clock,
and will be on exhibition in front of the City
Building at 2 IL O. clock.-Red noses were OBJ
servable in force ON the streets yesterday
Livery stable stock went up ON Thursday night
but fell little yesterday on account of the
cold. 1t will touch high figure as soon as the
weather moderates if we don't have rain as we
are likely to, judging from the winter weather
so far.-John Yeaton, Jr., Quartermaster of
Bosworth Post No. 2 has been appointed A. A.

Prince, who has left tie Dep't-A horse at

Widow, Wood Society.

To the Christian and Benevolent Pubtic:-The
Widows Wood Society is one of the best of all
benevolent institutions; it was early formed
and has become one of the strongest charitable
societies tor doing good in our city, it is an Or
ganiZation peculiar to Portland Its object
may be and doubtless is not known to all, is to
aid the poor, deserving widow to little fuel
during the cold and inclement season. There
are certain qualifications to enable widow to
become q beneficiary of this society, viz
"Must be a resident of the city five years; of
good moral character and without property.
The foreign as we'll as the native born, black
or white, are alike entitled to aid No certain
religious creed is expected to be formed in Or
der to obtain the fuel" Many OF our oldest
and most worthy widows are benefciaries of
this society.
We submit statement of last years doings,
that some idea may be formed of the extent OF
its usefulness:
The society furnished fuel to seven hundred
and three persons, giving 200 tons of coal and
166 cords of wood, expanding for fuel $362S.
We present tLis circular as reminder of an
early winter making the demands upon the
society very large.
The extreme dullness of business and the
high cost of fuel, taxes the energies OF the wild
ow in obtaining an article whereby she may
become warm, and unless we have large con-
tribution from our church collections the
amount of fuel to be given will be very small
We trust that you will contribute literally
remembering "that it is more blessed to give
than to receive" Kindle up flame OF relig-
ious love and devotion for true benevoence,
and give that you may "called blessed" Re-
member that it is your "mite" that aids the
society in extending its usefulness.

Court.
Davis s. Drummond. Orr.
Henry Baker and wife vs.. City of Portland
Henry Baker vs.. City of Portland. These two
cases being for the same cause of &C ion sub.
mitted together. They are brought to recover dam
ages alleged to have been sustained by reason of
defect In Cumberland street the 18th of October,
1865 The defect is alleged to have consisted in the
fact that there was near the middle OF the street two
piles OF paving stones.
The testimony the part of the plaintiffs was in
substance, that as Mr.. Baker and his wife were COM
ing up Cumberland street from Washington at
moderate pace, with horse and open buggy, a
about o'clock in the evening, at which time the
street lamps were not lighted, and the night being
dark the left wheel struck one OF these piles of stone
and threw Mr.. Baker out OF the carriage, injGring
him internally; the horse becoming frightened ran
with Mrs. Baker down Smith street, where she was
tnrown out injuring her by tearing the ligaments
from the knee and also internally. The testimony
also tended te show that the horse, valuable ami
NAL was spoiled, and the wagon and HARNESS COM
pletely demolished. In the first case the damages
claimed are $4,000 and in the second $1,000.
The defence Is assumed by the Portland Watel
Company, in which they allege that the injury Wal
not occasioned solely by the defect but that the
PLANTING negligence contributed to it; also that thu
plaintiff was violating city ordinance by driving q
rate faster than six miles an hour.
Evidence all out Arguments to be made thi
