WEEK ENDING THU SDAI.
January 80, 1873.

ldE WtsE4h.-Inefe mas been n
noticeable improvement during the
week in commercial circles, and for the
season business has been fair, but not
active. The naval store market in
nearly all of its branches, except resins,
has been very firm, and quotations
show a decided Improvement. The
jobbing merchants have had an in
crease of orders, and the tone of the
dry goods market is very firm, and the
talk is all for higher prices for cotton
fabrics when the Spring season opens.
Provisions are held more firmly, and
the markets generally show an i'm
proved feeling. Our local money mar
ket, though far from being free, has
also shown a decided easier movement.
The changes in prices of the leading
articles, and special features of the

Sidewalks.

Mr.. EDITOR, An article in late issue Of
your paper, calling attention to the unsafe as
we'll as disgraceful condition of the sidewalks
in some parts of the city, has led me to say,
that in my opinion great many households
would be justly dealt with if the city authori-
ties imposed fine upon them, not alone for
the condition of tho sidewalks, but Of hat Of
their oecn doorsteps.
have in my mind two houses, around both
of which is perfect "Sea of ice'', and in front
of the doors, what used formerly to be mats,
but at the present writing a solid block of ice
And what think you "Mr. Editor is the ex-
cuse offered by these people, for not even COW
ering this? 1t is, that if covered with sand
OR ashes, it is carried into the house and makes
SO much dirt" So ''hall carpet is of more
Importance than the life or limbs, of citizen
or stranger, who is so unfortunate as to be COM
PEELED to visit this dangerous locality.

A PoRTRAIT.-Mr. Selden j. Woodman, the
well-known Chicago artist, has just completed
portrait of the Hon. George Woodman,
which, for fidelity to its subject and for its mas
terly command of color will take very high
rank. The likeness is striking one, and
stands out from the canvas with all the vivid
ness OF life. The expression of power in the
strongly marked features is brought out with
rare skill, while the crispy curling beard and
the lines on the forehead, so noticeable in the
original, are admirably rendered. In the man.
agement of light and shade and in the depth
and purity of the flesh tints the artist has won
marked success, surpasssing indeed any of his
previous efforts. While the portrait shows a
carefully minute attention to detail it as plainly
shows the marks of that broad touch and free
hand which duly subordinate detail to general
effect. The portrait has been placed on exhibit
ton at Schumacher's gallery for few days.
This artist has recently finished view of
Gray's Peak as seen from Idaho Springs. 1t
is capital representation of the peculiar, al
most grotesque, mountain scenery of that re-
gion. The bizarre iron-markings of the rocks
looking as though stamped by art, are admira-
bly, reproduced while the stream in the fore
ground with the deer upon its brink, evinces al
exquisite delicacy and command Of depth.
We understand it is Mr.. Woodman's inter
ton to defer his European engagements unit
early summer, and to pass the winter and sprin
in Portland. So we may confidently count
upon more good work from his brush.

NEW HAMPSHI RE.
Arrival Of Sherburne Mt Concord
He is Attacked by the Crowd.

CONCORD, Jan. 16.-Sherburne man who
escaped from Baskerville few days ago with
Miss Drew, a daughter of a resident of Fisher
vile, arrived here this morning from jersey
City, at which place the death Of the girl occur
red few days ago, under suspicious circum-
stances, in custody of officer CHADWICK. He
was taken to the police station followed by a
large crowd of people, who had been awaiting
his arrival at the depot. On his leaving the
police station for Jail, Drew, the father Of the
girl, rushed upon him and struck him violently
in the face and kicked hin. Several other per-
sons fell upon him and pulled him in severe
manner. 1t was with difficulty that the officer
rescued him and conveyed him to Jail, where
he is to await examination.
Mr.. Drew was taken to CAROLS saloon and
most kindly cared for. He is temporarily in
sane and in a terrible state of agitation. And
when, in addition to this, there comes the re-
port that the mother is distracted in her home
at Baskerville, it is not to be wondered at that
the threats of vengeance upon Sherburne are
freely uttered.
He will not probably be arragned before TO-
morrow. In the meantime the utmost precau-
tions will be exercised at the Jail to prevent his
escape and to keep an outraged and indignant
community from taking the law into their OWL
hands and meeting out justice to the wretch.

Relief for the Peer.

Mr. Editor:-In your issue of Jan. 10th cor
respondent appeals to the ''well-to-do" citizens
of Portland in behalf of the poor. If you will
allow me space in your columns, I would like to
rise and explain in as few words as possible
what the well-to-do citizens are doing for the
poor and are doing constantly, for communi-
cation like the one under the above head will
certainly lead strangers to believe that Portland
people are very delinquent in responding to
calls, WHILE be it known far and near, that
no city of its size in the United States ever at
tended to the poor more promptly and more
willingly than our citizens. And this winter,
particularly, the contributions have been re-
markably large. Our churches give extremely
literally. and take care of their own poor, as
well as the poor at large. Our Sunday schools
provide for all destitute Sunday school children,
whether the parents attend church or not. My
experience has been somewhat extended in
visiting and assisting under the direction of
l society the poor of our city, and invariably
/ where the children of a family have attended
\ the Sunday school of any denomination, have
found that they have received timely aid, and
also their parents. Perhaps j. r. I. will say
all children cannot go to Sunday school. Icon
tend that every child over seven years old should
report himself to some Sunday school ADD be-
come member of the same, and accordingly
he will be properly clothed and fed, and books
provided
Also, all widows who cannot earn their own
living, if they are identified with any society,
which is eyerybody's duty as well as privilege
to be, will be taken care of. have yet to find
the family who reported themselves to any so
ciety, church or Sunday school who were moi
| promptly and comfortably provided for. AS to
children working or serving out, or any othel
honorable employment, it is what they should
do until they earn money enough to go t.
school, which has been done by younger ones
than sixteen years." know of some well-to
do citizens who earned their bread at ten year
old. and they are to-day among the able mer
and women of Portland.
The Provident Association has done nobl
work, but it is only one of many ways for tn
people to work. So that if that particula
branch has been once overlooked, it is not
fault or negligence of the well-to-do citizens
nor because the old clothes were laid away t
be moth-eaten, but because they met SO man
on the road the bag got empty before they &c
