A PLEASANT OccAsIoN.-On Friday last a
pleasant party Of relatives and few invited
guests celebrated the 9Sth birthday of our VEN
cradle fellow citizen, Hon. Elias Thomas, at
his house, corner of State and Danforth streets.
Throughout the day he received the congratu-
lations of his friends, taking great interest in
the festivities of the occasion. He has now
entered upon his e9th year, and excepting his
sight, retains all his faculties in remarkable
degree. Mr.. Thomas has led an active and
useful life, having filed many places of public
trust faithfully and well. For time he was
Treasurer of the State of Maine, and has al
ways been an efficient promoter of all public
enterprises and charities of the day. His sis
ters, Mrs. Morse, now in her Tooth year, and
Miss Betsey Thomas, in her Goth year, are still
living in this city, tho former ia the full pos
session of her faculties, and the latter having
only recently been deprived of her sight. They
are the links connecting our times with those
Of the colonial period. They were born in this
city, the subjects of King George, and two of
them remember the burning of the city by
Mowatt in 1775.

IS Mrs. Col. Inman, with her little boy, aged
about six years, were riding in her double
sleigh, drawn span OF spirited horses, on Con-
gress street, the iron braces which held the
pole snapped by reason of the sleigh runner
catching in the track of the horse railroad near
tne corner OF Park street. The driver was
thrown out, receiving a severe cut on his head,
ana the pole dropping upon the horses heels
they became frightened and set off at dead
run. with remarkable presence of mind Mrs.
Inman watched her opportunity and dropped
her little boy into the street by the side Of the
sleigh, and when at the corner of State street
jumped from the sleigh herself The boy was
uninjured, aud Mrs. Inman received only few
sllght bruises. The horses were afterwards
caught, and the damage will amount to only a
few dollars. 1t was a narrow escape for both
mother and child

BURaLARIEs.-There were four burglaries on
Monday night, or early on Tuesday morning.
The first at j. I. Libby's store on Central
wharf, where the burglars broke a pane in the
side window, and bored holes with an auger in
the desk, getting nothing for their pains but
seventy cents in coppers. One of the burglars
must have cut his hand with the glass, for
blood stains were left all around the counting
room.
The second was at Hophni Eaton's, on the
same wharf, where the burglars broke out two
large panes of glass aud the sash in the front
door. They injured one desk in the same way
as at Mr.. Libby's, but got no booty.
The third was at 81. M. Sargent's lunch room
on Commercial wharf, where they broke the
window on tho street above the outside shut
ter. Here they stole about hundred dollars
worth of pipes and tobacco.
The fourth was merely an attempt on Mr.
Hilton's jewelry store, corner of Plum and
Fore streets. The window was broken in the
same manner as at Mr.. Sargent's, but the Ias-
calls were probably frightened away.

PORTLAND GLAss.-It may not be generally
known to the people Of this State as, until re.
Gently it was not know to the writer, that the
table ware manufactured at the Glass Works
in Portland is equal to the best in point of
quality and style that is made in Europe or
America. Having occasion a few months since
to purchase glass ware, and being in the city
of New York, l visited several of the largest
wholesale and retail houses in which glass was
sold. Examining at one of the former several
varieties of English, French and Bohemian
ware, one of the partners remarked that there
was an American glass superior in beauty and
quality to anything he had shown me, and,
said he, if you will 60 with me across the street
I will let you see some Of it. We went, and
the glass there exhibited, and which was really
superior to any bad seen in his store, was
glass manufactured By The Portland Glass Com
pany. I returned to Maine and bought my
glass OF the Portland Company, and compar-
ing IL with several specimens of glass which
had been sent TO me from Paris, it was found
70 be superior iu every respect to the foreign
ware. PENoBscor.
