AsorHan crsrrsAR1As.-Mrs. Anna Place,

ANOTHER CENTENARIAN.-Mrs Anna Place,
who for FIVE years past has lived With her
daughter, Mrs. Pierce, on Paris, street, has
reached the extraordinary age Of a hundred
and two years. So says the record in her fam-
lily Bible, but, true to the proverbial sensitive
ness of her sex in regard TO age, MIS-. flace IN
sists that her friends give her credit ior one
more year than she is entitled to, and stoutly
maintains that her age is one hundred and one!
She is the widow of a Revolutionary soldier
who enlisted at Lee, New Hampshire, and
served throushou the war, and she now re-
ceiyes pension from the ngoverbmen.. q h oh
serves to add to the comfort of her old age. Her
recollection of the events that took place in
her youth is quite vivid, and she claims to re-
member even the throwing overheard Of the
tea in Boston harbor before the beginning Of
the war, but we are inclined to think that the
narrative OF Others, heard in early youth, has
been naturally mistaken by her for her own
recollection. She is able to move about the
mousse, aud II it were not for the difficulty of
getting down stairs she would still be able to
walk out of doors. Lat summer SIZE walked

impaired, though it is somewhat aificnlt to
communicate with her ON account OF her deaf
ness. Until within few years she has been
able to sign Der name to the papers necessary
to enable her to draw her pension, but the in
creasing dimness of her vision row renders the
use OF the pen impracticable, much to her dis
gust, and she is profuse in her apologies for
this very excasable disability. Mrs. Place en-
tertains decided convictions in regard to the
future state, which at her age must be a SUBJ
lect OF immediate interest. She declares with
much emphasis that she believes nothing of an
existence beyond the grave, though she has
dreamed" it might be otherwise. Her friends.
from whom she seems to receive the care and
respect due to her venerable age, states that
she enjoys almost uniform good health and
that there are no indications of speedy de-
cline of her physical powers. They indulge
the hope that she may reach an age still more
remarkable. 1t only remains TO be added that
Mrs. Place preserves her cheerfulness and am
Inability of temper to wonderful degree, and
that she awaits the inevitable event with most
composure. She has had six chill
iren,all Of whom are dead except the daughter
ncw seventy-one years old, with whom she

BUILDINGS m PoRTLAND.-The style OF
dwelling houses erected in this city since 1855
has been gre atty improved from that in vogue
before the great fire. Now, the Comfort ana
| convenience of the family is looked to in the
erection of house, and much better class VI
buildings, both in style and convenience, taxes
the place of the evergrown hastily put up edi'
| fees that were wont to meet the eye on our
new streets. ~ ttAHE Ks4
We have been looking into two beautiful
brick houses ON new High street, recently
erected which will show all the improvements
of the age. The architect of these buildings
was Mr.. F. H. Fassett. They are owned by
Mr.. John f. Rand and Mr.. Isaac BIitton and
are two stories high above basement, with
Mansard roof. The masonry was done by
Messrs. Ridlon & Dolly and the carpenter
work BY Mr.. j. G. BODICE, and better WORK
cannot be found in any building in TINS Guy.
There are fourteen rooms in each mousse i""o
pendent of the basement which contains &C.
mented and plastered cellar, with WASH roo"''
furnace and coal bins. On the first floor are
parlor, library, dining room and kitchen. On
the second floor are four sleeping rooms and a
bath room. The third floor contains two sleep.
ing rooms, two large store rooms and large
hail, convenient for children to play in. The
arrangements Of all the rooms are just such as
are needed Tor comfortable dwelling house
as well as for the convenience Of the family.
The carpenter work in both these houses is
OF hrst class and such as to reflect credit upon
Mr.. BODICE. The rooms are, principally, fin
ished in black walnut, the ornamentations
being very neat and handsome The frescoing
in Britton's house was done by Schumacher,
and that in Rand's by w. M. Paine, both
evincing skill and beauty. The nantes and
sinks are marble and were furnished by
Thompson. The houses are heated by furnaces
and low-down CRATES in the library and dining
rooms. furnished by Tolman, The rooms on
the first floor are eleven feet six inches, and
the sleeping rooms ten feet six inches in the
clear. On the roofs are balconies and from
them can be seen the White Mountains and
beautiful view of the country and the back
bay.
We would advise any one who is about to
build to take a look into these houses and see |
how convenient they are and how handsomely
the work, both exterior and interior is done.
Mr.. Dodge erected the beautiful large school |
house at Skowhegan, which is pronounced the |
handsomest as well as the best finished build
ing of the kind in Somerset county. He is |
now about erecting beautiful dwelling house
on Cushman street for Mr.. Lincoln, conductor
on the Maine Central railroad.

The STEAMER MoNTREAL.-Tbe customary
overhauling of this coed steamer for the sum
mer business is completed and Saturday night
she took her place in the line between Port
land and Boston. She has been thoroughly
painted, the ate-rOoms, cabins and berths
renovated, and some new furniture put into
the saloon. A new dome has been put into the
roof OF the saloon, over the staircase leading
to the main deck, and the central part of the
roof raised, and the sides filled with glass and
ventilators, greatly adding to the comfort and
beauty of this elegant apartment Tbs engine
and boiler have also been in the hands of me-
chanics. and a donkey-boile has been placed
on the main deck by Messrs. Quinn & Csyle,
to furnish steam for heating the vessel when
in port. The chief improvement in the Mon
treal is the introduction of Winslow's improv.
ed radiators into the cabins, saloons and offices,
in place of the ordinary steam coils. By this
process currents Of air are heated by being
driven through open cylinders, composed of
two surfaces, an outer and inner one, between
which a current of steam continually passes
but at much lower pressure than in ordinary
steam heating apparatus. There is none of
the disagraeable Swapping that is SO annoying
in the steam coil radiators, and the heat is
much more easily graduated. Each cluster Of
pipes is enclosed in ornamental iron net work,
and in case of fire the steam can be easily used
as an extingusher. These heaters are supplied
from the main boiler or from the donkey-boiler
mentioned above, when the large boilers are
not in use, and the boat is kept warm at all
hours OF the day and night. This invention is
the patent of j. L. Winslow, and manufacture
ed in this city at Winslow's machine works.
Saturday forenoon the Montreal made short
trip down the harbor with a few invited guests
on board. The rooms were thrown open, and
every one expressed their qualification at the
excellent condition of the cabins and state
rooms, and the thoroughness with which the
boat had been prepared for her summer work.
She is elegant enough for any line Of travel,
and the secret Of the popularity of this line
among travellers is that the boats are always
neat and clean, well managed, and the compa-
ny practice true economy by keeping them in
the best condition. and literally provide for
the comfort and safety Of passengers. 80
