JONATHAN MORGAN Rogers, the famous
sculptor, whose ideal groups have made his
name famous in the art-world, will find rival,
it now seems probable, in Portland Mr.. Sheri-
dan, of the firm of Sheridan & Griffiths, has
just completed in clay fuu-length statuette
figure of the late Jonathan Morgan, which is a
decidedly creditable work. The old gentleman
is represented sitting, reading a manuscript,
the goggles laid carefully over one knee, the
cane between his feet with the head resting on
his person, and the head surmounted with that
familiar hat. A table by his side holds an open
Bible supporting the Masonic emblems, while
on the floor at his feet is finished manuscript
with the wel-known autographs of the veneer
able man at the bottom of the page The face
and figure are excellent-a more truthful like
ness it would be hard to produce even in the
plastic clay. The pose of the figure is almost
faultless, and those who knew the old man well
in his life-time, will take pleasure in examining
the work of this new artist. 1t is at Hale's
THE HAYDN CoNCERT.-The Concert by the
Haydn Association last night attracted quite a
large number of their friends and admirers. A
very fine programme was offered, and the
choruses were given with wonderful accuracy
of time and in splendid harmony of tone. 1t is
hard to discriminate among so many fine vocal
efforts, but it was evident that Mr.. Mcclellan s
song, The Yeoman's Wedding, Mrs. Wether-
bees song from Gianni de Parigi, the Liberty
Duet, and the closing chorus, 'Let their celes-
tial concerts all unite were the favorites.-
Mrs. Wetherbee responded to an enthusiastic
encore given to her song, with charming little
English ballad.
HARPER's BAzAR.-This beautiful weekly
publication is the standard with ladies for all
the fashions of the day. Besides containing nu-
merous fashion plates and their explanations,
it gives large amount of first-class literary
matter, which always renders it welcome Wis
itor to the parlor circle. The number for the
ensuing week. richly illustrated, has been re-
ceived at the periodical depot of Messrs. Fes-
sender Bros, Lancaster Hail. also by d. Went
worth, dealer in books, stationery, &C., 337
Congress street, corner of Oak street.
THE ALLAN LINE.-The agents of the steam
ship line between Portland and Liverpool will
extend the present winter season at this port
one week, the last steamer being the North
American, which will sail from Liverpool April
18th, and her day of return will consequently be
May 4th. On the 9th of the present month
(to-morrow) an extra steamer, the Moravian,
will be despatched from Liverpool for this port
to be followed on the regular day Thursday
by the Sarmatian, Capt. Wyley.
FLowERs-As flowers are in active demand
the present week, we think we are doing oul
readers favor by directing their attention te
the advertisement of Mr.. c. f. Bryant, al
| Woodford's Corner. The greenhouses of AL
bert Dirwanger, on Montreal street, are espec
tally worthy of a visit. His collection of new
and rare flowers is particularly fine, and fol
beauty and gorgeousness of coloring nothing
