RosslNI CLUB.-Many of our readers will re
member the two delightful concerts given by
this club Of Portland ladies in January aud
February last, at the Reception Room, city
government building. The room was then
quite filled by select and appreciative audi.
ence, and it is not too much to soy that each
performance was gem. The concert may be
said to have been semi-public, for the ladies did
not advertise in the newspapers, and relied
wholly on such notice as friends could spread
about. Now they invite us more ambitiously,
perhaps, but as we think more wisely, by prop
err advertisement in the daily papers, and also
perform in larger hall. We hope FIuent's
Hall will be well filed Friday night, and that

see ms this is its object) to pay the remainder

ton of helping in good cause.-the trainin

SUDDEN DEATH.-Coroner Hall was called
at IL o'clock last. night to investigate the cause
of the death of child Of Henry P. and Sarah
LOUISA Ball, living in the rear Of Washington
street, aged about eight months. The child
bad been suffering from what appeared to be a
cold, for about week, and it was put to bed
last night with two older children. The moth
er went to look at the infant before r etiring
and found it ia a CON atose state. DR.. Webster
was called, and when he arrived he pronounced
it dead. Coroner Hall regarded an inquest
unnecessary. 1t is probable that congestion,
induced by the extreme heat OF the weather,
was the cause Of the sudden death. The child
was robust, hearty looking little one, and the
family (colOredJ are very worthy people, the
father being cook on board the steamer City of
Richmond, He was at Bangor last night Sad
news is in store for thim on his return to his
home.

after soup the soldiers were again

Lost in the Snow.

The Nevada z ranscript says !:
"An Indian boy and twenty-one
head of cattle, belonging to
Jack Adams of Davisville,
Yole county, were lost in the
snow storm, near Traey's old
station, on the Henness Pass
road on last Thursday, and are
supposed to have perished in the
snow. Adams came through
from Utah with two hundred and
nineteen head of cattle, taking
the Hennessr Pass read. He
came as far as Bear valley when
The missed forty head,and a man
who was driving with him was
sent back with the Indian to
find the missing cattle. At
Rowman's where they camped
the night before, they found,
nineteen of the cattle, and Ad-
ans, taking these, started be-.
low with the drove, while the
man and Indian went as far as
Tracy's,and having become sat-
isfied that the cattle were no
further back, started to return.
In the meantime it came on to
storm, the depth Of snow was
rapidly increasing, and their
horses gave out two miles west
of Jackson's ranch. The man
left the Indian, telling him to
come on, and he made, his way
to Bear Valley. The Indian
who was thus abandoned
on last Thursday has not since
been heard of, and as the storm
has beenIvery severe since, and
he an entire stranger to the
country, having just come from
Utah, probably perished in the
snow. He had when left by his
companion, some bread and
meat. The missing cattle will
also perish, as it has been storm
ing ever since they were lost,
John Summers, of Sierra Val
ley, who gave us this item, says
the snow is probably seven feet
deep at Jackson's by this time.

How a Whole Family Be.
came Blind.
From the Cambridge CIass.) Herald.

FROM the Cambridge (Mass. Herald.
There lives afamily in Dorches-
ter county, every dark,eyed male
member of which for the past fif-
ty years has gone blind at the age
of 20 to 25 years. Those with
blue eyes escape the terrible af11ic-
tion. There is a tradition about
this singular circumstance which
we lay before our readers as we
heard 1t; Some sixty years since,
SO goes the story, a beautiful
black-eyed girl of 20 from some
cause or other lost her eye sight.
Her misfortune brought penury
and want with it. Being reduced
to beggary, she was Wont to GO
abroad asking aims. During one of
her Journeys she visited the neigh
borhood in which resided the an
cestors Of those which are now
sightless. Instead of her help
less condition exciting, as it should
have done, a feeling of sympathy,
sle was treated with ridicule by
some of the younger members of
the house her evil star had led
her into. Tive of the boys, as
matter Of mere deviltry, took her
out, promising to conduct her to
place where plenty awaited. In
stead of giving her a safe conduct,
they carried her into a swamp
and left her. 1t is said that she
cried out beseeching them to put
her on the public road, but they
needed not her lamentations
Finding hersell about to be deserted
among the tangled brushwood,
she turned her prayer toa curse,
asking her Maker, in her revenge
tul anguish, to punish her betray-
ers, by making theil offspring for
seven generations as helpless as
she was. 1t is said that she was
found dead in the swamp, having
p,rished from hunger and cold.
This may appear somewhat ro-.
mantle, but whether the tradition
ary part of it be false or true, it is
assuredly a fact that the male Of
spring of the family referred to
lose their sight as Indicated
Hundreds of'persons in Dorchester
county will verify it.
