Destruction of Two Of the Dwight Man.
ufacturing Co.'s Mills.
500 People Thrown Out OF Em-
pl0yment.

SPRINGFIELD, April 14-One of the most de-
structive fires that has occurred in Western
Massachusetts for number of years, broke
out at five minutes past ten tonight, in mill
No. 2, of the Dwight Manufacturing Company,
of Chicopee, and before the flames were extin-
gushed had destroyed both that and adjoining
mill No. /, belonging to the same corporation.
The fire caught in the wheel room by the acct
dental overseeing of lamp and nearly con-
sumed the buildings.
The mills were devoted to the manufacture
of cotton sheeting, and cotton flannel, and
contained $500 bales of cotton which were de-
stroyed as was also one stock house and three
lumber sheds. The total loss will not fall short
of $4,000 fully covered by insurance.

HoMEwARD BoUNp.-The painting by Har-
nv Brown, now in Hale's window, representing
the ocean steamship Scandinavian passing
Portland Light, is attracting much attention,
not only ON account of the softness and bril-
liapcy of the coloring, but also for its fine per-
spective and the admirable correctness Of its
drawing. The water has that peculiar, emil
nently natural shade of green shot with yellow
light which one may see any day when the
waves run high. The long black hull of the
Scandinavian, with its masts and rigging and
the one trick-colore1 spot of smoke-stack
which gives it light and relief, will be recog-
nized at glance. Between this and the shore
a coaster with bellying sails, is seen, while a
large merchantmen under convoy of tug, is
proceeding in the opposite direction. Above
the light, which stands out with great distinct
ness in the foreground to the right, hangs
low heavy, suilen cloud, seemingly cradle for
tempest. To the left we have the clear, cold
blue of a northern sky.
The painting is eminently realistic while at
the same time it is permeated with that crea-
tive touch which distinguishes the work OF the
artist, the originator, from the handling OF the
copyst 1t will take rank as the besto Brown
marines, and among the very best of American
ocean scenes 1t is to be hoped that the
picture may be retained in the CITY,
and not be suffered to become the prop
erty of any art-lower, from abroad, The mas
terpiece of Portland's favorite artist should
find an abiding place in the city of its birth.
"A. R. A. BALL-City Hall was packed to
overlooking last evening on the occasion of the
Irish American Relief Ball. Many of the au-
dience were attracted by the fast increasing
fame of the Sheridan Cadets. The hall was
very tastefully festooned with the blended ban
ners of Ireland and America and decorated
with portraits The Cadets, under the COM
mand of Captain Somers, surprised even those
who expected much from them, by their fine,
soldierly bearing, and by the beauty and precis-
ion of their drill. The manual of arms was
gone through with excelleLtly, and the march
ing was superb. Considering the short time
this company has been organized its excellence
is surprising Prior to the drill grand con-
cert was given by the Portland Band, and at
the conclusion of the drill, the company gave
itself up to dancing by the inspiring strains OF
Chambers Quadrille Band. The affair was a
very enjoyable one, and one of the most success
full of the season. Webster furnished refresh
