| tnroplc enterprises. Especially has this trait
been observable during her sojurn in her native
State Last year she gave, without recompense,
her services in behalf of the fund of the Maine
General Hospital and she is now under en-
gaSement to assist other worthy local organiza-
tions in different parts of the State. Next
Thursday evening she will sing at City Hall in
conjunction with number of our favorite
singers, and has kindly offered to divide the
proceeds of the evening with the Hospital
This generosity ought to be appreciated, and we
have no doubt it will be. The Hospital is an
institution we all onght to take deep interest
in, from personal motives and on the score of
its broad philanthropy. While we have the
good example of Miss Cary and her compan-
ions before us, we should emulate their exer-
tons and make the concert a grand success, that
shall equal the similar event of last year.

THE PORTLAND CoMPANY.-This company
yesterday turned out splendid and powerful
freight engine, the "Androscoggin," for the
Maine Central Company. They are building
| two more for the same company, one of which
is for shifter of trains and cars, the tank of it
being over the boiler and the coal bin in the
cab 1t has only two pairs of wheels, drivers
81 feet diameter. - IaH
The company has as much locomotive work
on hand as 1t can possibly attend to. 1t has "a
engines to build for the Grand Trunk Co.,
five for the Canada roads and twofor the E.
and N. A. railroad Company. 1t has con-
tract for 80 box cars for the Eastern R. R. Co.,
% of which are about ready. They are built in
the strongest and most substantial manner.
REsIGNATIoN.-We understand that Mr..
Thomas o. Goold, the veteran conductor on the
Grand Trunk railway, has resigned his position
and it has been accepted. Mr. Goold entered
the service Of the company in 1913, and was the
second conductor appointed when the road went
into operation, G.. G. Waterhouse being the first
Mr.. Goold has never been absent day on ac-
count of sickness, and we do not remember
that any passenger under his charge has ever
been injured Very few men in this country
| have wider circle of acquaintance than Mr..
| Goold.
THE WHOLESALE DRY GOODS TRADE.-In
conversation with several wholesale dry goods
dealers in Portland, yesterday, we learned the
gratifying fact that the sales for the past three
months have been 20 per cent. greater than for
| the corresponding time last year. One firm
stated that some of their largest purchasers
| were in the interior cities of Massachusetts.
The small-ware and fancy goods trade has in
creased still more; one of the leading houses re-
port an increase of 80 per cent. in their spring
trade over the year 1871. = q .hsa
THE Maine Central Railrod bridge across the
| Androscoggin at Topsham, is about complete,
and it is announced that trains will begin run
ming over it on Monday. The energy which in
spired the reconstruction of sucra piece of work
in so short time, is beyond praise. The new
structure is built upon the abutments and piers
of the old bridge, and no delay will occlr here
after to the business of the road, either by the
erection of the iron bridge or the change of
rails from the present to the new one. Mr..
Lunt, the Superintendent of the road, has Civ
en- this work his careful supervision, and has,
by his example, infused remarkable degree
| of zeal into the work. The public will quickly
recognize his value as public servant, and give
to the Maine Central road hereafter a more I'M
divided confidence ast

JAMES WOODBURY., who seems to be doing
substantial good work in Portland, spoke for
the third time from the steps of the Centre
street school-house last evening, to larger au-
dience than on either of the previous occasions.
The great crowd listened to his earnest and
logical appeals with marked interest, frequently
interrupting the speaker with hearty applause.
Mr.. Woodbury. proposes to organize temper
ance society for working men at an early day.
He will speak at Music Hall tomorrow even
ing, and he earnestly invites all, of every class
and station to come and hear him, and encour-
age, by their presence and acts, the great tenn
perance reform. = ,s+gs
GIVE THE LITTLE ONE HoHE-A male
child, ten months old, is in need of some kind
lady to adopt it. 1t is a beautiful boy, healthy,
American parentage, and SO lovely as to attract
the attention of all who see it. How many
loving, sorrowing hearts with room therein
made vacant by death or otherwise, that would
yearn to shield this babe from the rough road
it must otherwise travel, there are, who, if they
could but see this cunning little fellow would
rejoice to call him theirs Who will take the
baby? San angel in the house," is one like
this-and she who shall clasp him to her heart,
and intervene between him and harm, shall be
} blessed indeed. Amy one desiring to see the
darling can call on its guardian, j. G. Shirley
