THE GRAND ARMY FArE
Fourth Day.

The crowd last evening at City Hall showed
plainly that the fair of the Grand Army was
an immense success. The galleries were filled
with those who preferred to sit and look at the
dazzling crowd beneath rather than to mix with
them, for it required quite an effort to walk
about the hall, so large was the crowd. There
was a continued tramp from the main hall to
the bird show, from the bird show TO the art
gallery, and from the art gallery back to the
main hall again. Then from the main hall to
the refreshment room and return. The receipts
from each and every department must haze
been large. The several tables were well patro-
nized, and but few went from the hall with the
same amount of money that they had when
they entered; but from their general appear
ance they did not regret the exchange that they
had made Many of the best chromos were
dra 1n last evening, G. Fl. Haskell and c. b.
Nash each took one of the best The large
doll on ward fours table was drawn by e. Free
man, while the prettiest doll in the hall went
to Miss Grace w. Sampson. One Of the large
rustic baskets filed with flowers was drawn by
Miss Mary Gately. The entertainment con-
sisted of two of Sappho's lively songs, Master
Pingrees harmonicon music, and the tableau
entitled " The Birth of the Republic" They
all passed off to the satisfaction of the audi
ence.
Near the stage stands job printing PRESS
owned by Stephen Berry and run by bis work
men. They are prepared to execute visiting
and address cards of all kinds in the best style
of the art 1t is amusing to see the crowds
gather around "just to see how it is done"
Last evening they did fine business, large
number of persons improving the opportunity
to have their cards printed.
When it is convenient the nice articles pur-
chased are allowed to remain until the close of
the fair, thus making the tables all look nearly
as full as the day the fair opened. The chromos
that are drawn are all left in their places until
the close of the fair.
The committee desire to acknowledge the re-
CENT of tierce of Porto Rico molasses from
Phinney & Jackson; cases pickles, tomatoes
ketcbup, and Eorseradish, from E. T. Cowdry
of Boston, through Mr.. Jackson, their agent:
also courteses from the Portland Steam Packet
Company.
Nelson g. Co, are ahead in the race for the
rustic chair The work table near ward fonr's
table is to be voted to the present or some past
commander OF the post
:asppho is fast disposing CT the articles on
her table. and it looks as though she would
have but little left at the close of the present
week, She is to be com mended for the zeal she
mas manifested in helping forward the object OF
the fair.
This afternoon the hall will be open to the
children of the Female Orphan Asylum, and it
is to be hoped that the friends Of the institution
will not allow the children to 90 away empty
handed
This evening the Arion club will sing, and
Master Piugree wildly request, play on his har.
monicon again. There will be several raffies
drawn and the entertainment will close viii

RAILROAD ACCIDENT


About quarter before eleven o'clock last
night, VIM. Mariner of Cape Elizabeth, a
switchman on the Eastern road had his legs
both cut off by car that passed over them.
The particulars arc as follows Mr.. Mariner is
engaged as switehman at the railroad crossing
at Portland bridge. At the time of the acct
dent there was shifting engine in the yard
making up freight train, aDd the train was
backing to leave a portion of the cars, when
Mr.. Mariner stepped between the cars while
in motion, to draw the Stacking pin, when
his foot slipped and one or two cars passed
over his legs, crushing the left one above the
knee and the right one just above the ankle.
He was at once taken up and put into hack
and carried to the police station, and Drs.
Small, Files, Webster and Foster summoned
He did not appear 10 suffer much until he ar
rived at the station, when he spoke of being
hurt badly and wishing the doctors to hurry up
and dress his legs. AS ether was about to be
administered he sent word to his friends, and
bid gentleman present, whom he knew, good
bye. He asked Dr. Files if he should live, and
when answered in the affirmative, replied that
he did not expect to. DIR. Small performed
the amputation of the left leg and DR.. Files
the right. 1t was done in very short time,
but it was some time before the unfortunate
man came out of the influence of the ether.
and when he did, the shock he had received
was so severe that he was greatly Frustrated.
Mr. Mariner is a single man about 27 years
of age, and supported his aged father and
young sister. He revived SO much that about
2 o'clock this morning he was taken to his
home. DR.. Files accompanied him.

HE MUSEUM.-There was fine house at
the Museum last evening, Fra Diavolo proving
great favorite. 1t is entirely unnecessary to
say anything further in praise of this opera, for
the large audiences which gather nightly at the
Museum are by no means chary Of applause or
of the expression OF their favorable opinion
Mr. Arnold's fine voice has lost none of its at
tractiyeness, and Mr.. Tilla sustains himself in
popular favor. That the Museum is becoming
a favorite place of resort of an evening is very
evident and that Portland can support an opera
house of such pretentions has gone far to be
proved This evening, in accordance with the
general desire, Fra Diavoo will be repeated
The opportunity to see it should not be neglect.

Saving is Wealth.

One great cause of the poverty of the
present day is the failure of our COM
lion people to appreciate small things.
They do not realize how daily addi-
ton, be it ever so small, will soon make
large pile. If the young men aud
young women of to-day will only begin,
and begin now, to save little from their
earnings and plant it in the soil of some
good savings bank, and weekly or
monthly ad / their mite, they will wear
a happy smile of competence when they
reach middle life. Not only the desire
but the ability to increase it will also
grow.
Let clerk and tradesman, laborer and
artisan, make now and at once begin
ming. Store up some of your youthful
force and vigor for future contingency.
Let parents teach their children to begin
early to save. Begin at the fountain
head to control the stream of extrava-
gance-to choose be- ween poverty and
riches. Let our youth go on in habits
of extravaganza for fifty years to come
as they have for fifty years past, and we
shall have a nation of beggars, with @
moneyed aristocracy. Let generation
of such as save in small sums be reared,
and we shall be free from all want. Dc
not be ambitious for extravaganza for.
tune, but do seek that which is the duty
of every one to obtain, independence
and comfortable home. Wealth, and
enough of it, is within the reach of all.
1t is obtained by one process, and by
one only-saving.
