View. Of !. proper,v Holder.

Mr.. EDIToR.-I am:the owner of a valuable
property near the foot of High street. 1t is a
concern to me therefore, as to other property
holders and business men in the vicinity and
to the whole public, that the convenient use of
the street be not impaired. The street com
mttee, some of the papers inform us, have
visited the bridge and grade complained of at
the foot of the street. and the railroad yester-
day made minute change in the cant of two
of the lower planks in the bridge, but it still
remains at its former height. The grade is
still excessively Steep Now the bridge can be
lowered three feet by first lowering the track
to it's level at the Commercial street crossing,
and then bringing down the bridge to the
height of Park street bridge. This, and indeed
less than this, will give the public good grade.
1t will permit the railroad to use its tracks
with as much freedom as under the Park street
bridge. Certainly this can and should be done.
These statements are based upon a survey OF
the premises taken at the cost of citizens inter
ested. 1t is to be hoped that the grade as now
fixed will not be permitted to stand.

MAINE CHARITABLE MECHANICS AssoCIA-

worthy association will soon announce q course

Mr.. EDIToR:-In reference to the proposed
arrangement of trains upon the above railroad
from which in two successive issues you have
presaged injurious results to Portland, it is
proper to say, first, that it is not now and has
not been at any time. or by any of the execu-
tive managers, advised or proposed that the
through train east should leave Portland at the
''no hour of four o'clock in the morning"
Half past five is the earliest that has been
. named 1t is proper to say, secondly, that the
matter of change has not been before the d.
rectors at all. Any statements in reference to
it are at best mere rumors, for nothing has
been determined or ratified. Thirdly, you
omitted to mention the compensations to be
secured by the people of Maine, including
Portland, by the change even as stated in your
columns, and which will be secured, it is hoped,
under any arrangement that may be adopted
in particular the convenience of direct con-
nectlon through from New York. This will
enable passengers leaving New York at three
o'clock, p. M, to reach all points to Bath,
Rockland and Bangor early the next day
Bath and the towns on the Knox & Lincoln
road now have no such accommodation.

and the flames quickly spread, destroying Mr..

ling house of the Widow Gould, and damaging
James A. Jackson's house and the pottery
works of Francis A. Plaisted & Son. At one
time it seemed likely that the whole village
would be destroyed, and in response to kilograms
engines were sent from Hallowell and Augusta

STREET LAMPS IN CAPE ELIzABETH-Those
who have occasion to cross Vaughn's bridge in
the night will be pleased to learn that the Sc
lectmen of Cape Elizabeth have erected four
street lights in that vicinity. The nature of
the material of which the road in that locality
is made is so dark that it is impossible to see a
team approaching on a dark night. These
lights were furnished by the New England Gas
Light Co. of Boston, and the burners are their
improved solar patent said to be much supe-
rior to that in use in this city in those localities
where the street mains are not laid to furnish
gas. 1t is to be hoped that the city will furn.
tsh lights for their portion of the bridge and up
Cassidy's Hill 1t is said that seven more of
these lights are to be erected upon the rolling
mil grounds by private enterprise

THE MUsEUM.-The crowded house on the
sixth night of the presentation of the Octoroon

taken the opportunity to polish their parts, and
the result is that they now give finished in
depreciation of the piece. None who enjoy
good acting and fine scenery should see the
play this week

operation was the only slight chance the man
had of saving his life, and he preferred to take
