This venerable society has entered upon the
sixty-eighth year of its charitable work, and all
its original founders have passed away. They
left a record of their good will by subscribing
5000 towards creating. fund for the use of
the society, but owing to subsequent CONNER
cial embarrassments only So, 200 was ever col
lected.
OF three subscriptions of $500 each, that of
Hon. Samuel Freeman alone was paid in full.
rhe others paid only the first installments of
fifty dollars each. From some cause, flfty-six
subscribers failed to pay their subscriptions in
full; some of them paid nothing
Notwithstanding such discoura.ements the
society has always had noble supporters
among the best men of our city, and the prac-
sice of securing public address and appeal for
sympathy and help at the commencement of
winter has been maintained. 1t has dispensed

tanned such position in society as to make it
neither fit nor desirable for them to secure aid
from the town.
OF late years the society has been remember
ed by the late Hezekiah Winslow and William
Swan by legacies of $1,000 each and by Mrs
Elias Thomas, who gave $780, Some have
been made life members by paying twenty dol

THE PORTLAND CADETs.-The grand exhibit
ton drill and promenade concert to be given by
this company at City Hail. ON Tuesday evening
next, will no doubt be one of the finest exhibit
tons of military skill and proficiency ever wit
messed in this city. 1t s not generally known
to what high standard of excellence in the
manual of arms and the school of the soldier
the Cadets have attained; and the drill ON Tues
day evening, will no doubt surprise many of
our citizens. Since the appearance of three
members of the company in their matehless
silent Zouave drill at Music Hall in June last
the Cadets under their able and efficient cap
tain, have by continual practice brought them
selves nearly up to perfection in military tao
tics and they are now prepared to challenge
competition with any company in the State.
The drill will be given by squad of twenty
four picked men, while the music will be fur
nished by the full Portland Band, of 90 pieces
With these combined attractions, the hall
should be crowded, and we trust that the friends
of these youthful soldiers will see that this ex-
