Two PrcruRrs-we would call attention t,

Two PIcTUREs.-We would call attention to
two pictures, one on exhibition at Hales and
the other at Schumachers. That at Hale's is
entitled ''Who says Rats" and is from the
brush of Batchelder The artist has fully
caught the inspiration of the moment, for the
picture represents . little Scotch terrier, half
length, evidently standing on his hind legs and
balancing himself by aid of his fore-paws
(which are placed on the back of a chair while
his erect ears and the peculiar wistful express
sion of the eyes show as plainly as art can that
he is all excitement and eager for the expected
victim to put in an appearance.
The other picture is a large canvas by
Holmes, representing view in Thorndike,
Franconia Mountains. The spectator should
place himself at distance in order to see the
painting at its best advantage, as q close exam
ination is not favorable to its merits. Seen at a
distance the drawing is very good and the per-
spective lights and shadows and atmosphere
speak well for the talent of the artist. This
picture will be found at Schumacher's.

double state of bliss, thus far on lifes journey,
exceedingly well. A most excellent and bounti-

Remarks-The Wool market remains steady but
the demand from manufacturers is but moderate.
Wool is steady at previous prices, but for days
past the business has been light. There is in fact
firm feeling for all kinds of Wool, and holders are
confident of higher prices.
In Philadelphia the market has been very quiet but
we have quotabe change to record in prices There
are number of Eastern buyers here looking through
the MARKET but as there is no prospect of any
rial concession owing to the limited supplies hand
buyers indifferent about operating at current

The New York market for domestic fleece remains

grades. There continues steady, moderate demand

James Bradin ct City Of Portland Action
to recover damages alleged to have been sustained by
Mrs Bradin, by reason Of defective highway on the
22d Of December, 1870 The alleged defect was a
stone which placed at or the corner of WASH
ington and Madison streets as o monument within
the limits Of the sidewalk, and which, it is claimed,
projects above the surface Of the sidewalk six eight
inches. Plaintiff says she was returning to her
home on the evening Of the accident, it being very
dark, her foot struck this stone, throwing her upon
her face in the paved gutter whereby she injur
ed about the face and head to such extent that she
was confined to her bed for seventeen weeks and has
sustained more or less injury to her mind Damages
claimed $4,000. Defendants claim that theinjury was
not caused wholly by the alleged defect, but by slip
ping on the ice; that the injuries which she did
tain are by her greatly exaggerated At the adjourn

the defence.
