Club at City Hall, Wednesday evening, though
mot crowded to its utmost capacity as upon the
preceding meeting, yet contained as many as

of numbers and was such as gave pledge of the
integrity and earnestness of the movement H.
Fairfield, Esq, presided in his usually easy and
graceful manner The meeting was addressed
by Charles J. Smith of Portland, whose re-
marks evidently made a deep impression upon
his hearers H. M, Bryant who has attended

INTERESTING TEMPERANCE MEETNG.-Mr.
Woodbury-the ''Thrashing Machine"-had
another large audience in the school-house yard
on Centre street, last evening. 1t was larger
than that of the preceding evening, and was
composed principally of the Irish parents and
children in that vicinity. His remarks were
well received, and a more orderly outdoor meet
ing we have.never seen. He told his hearers of
the sufferings and misery strong drink was in
ficting upon those who INDUCED in it, and up
on their families, and urged them to give it up
entirely and adopt total abstinence. He was
frequently applauded in his remarks, and at the
close received cheers from the men and 'God
bless We" from the women. At their urgent re-
quest he will speak again this evening in the
same place and general attendance Of the
Irish men, women and children is requested.

SALE OF PAINTINGs.--O Owing to the bad
weather yesterday very fow people were present
at the sale of paintings at Schumacher's, and
the prices at which they were sold were uinous
to the artists. Only one brought anything near
its value, and that was a new picture by Brown
"a coast scene-which was not catalogued. 1t
was bid off at $120. His North Coast of Ire
land went for $40. Frost's Head Waters of the
Androscoggin realized but $25; and the prices
of some others were as follows: Island Pond
twenty years ago, by Stone of Boston, $50; Cat
and Kittens, by Miss Skeele, $780, Ossipee VAL
ley, by Champney, $21; Koenigsee, by Schu-
macher, $15; Farm Yard, by the same, S1O
Taking in Sail, by Brown, $40; Fishing on the
English Coast by same, $40; Quiet Nook, by
Hudson water color) $3.50; Head of Terrier,
by Batchelder, $3.50; Road Scene in Sandwich,
N. H., by Gerry, $40; Racket River, Adiron-
dacks, by Enneking, $40; three landscapes by
Miss Quincy, s., 81 and SIS respectively; Old
Farm House, by Higgins, So. There were all
very good pictures and worth great deal more
money. The figures we quote are fair sample
of the sale. The bidding was duh and heavy
like the weather outside. Perhaps the audience
were influenced by these outside circumstances
