The Lafe Frank Moves.

At a meeting of the Trustees of the Portland
Savings Bank, held yesterday morning, the
following preamble and resolutions were unan-
imously adopted:
Frank Moves, one Of the Trustees of this
bank, and for the past nine years its Secretary
and Treasurer, died on Monday, December II,
1877. at his residence in this city Feeling sim
cerely our own personal loss in thus being de-
drived of his services in the management, we
deem it to be only just to his memory that our
records should exhibit some evidence of
the appreciation in which his associates hold
his memory, as we'll as to express to his daugh-
ter and the other members of his family our
sympathy in their affection.
His faithful devotion to the interests of the
Portland Savings Bank deserves this record at
our hands, which we make 10 our own behalf,
as well as the thousands of depositors, over
whose property he watched for SO many years
with such answering fidelity.
He devoted the best years of his life to its
service, and now leaves an untarnished record
of faithful, honorable and successful labor.
ResolUed. That copy of this record be trans
mitted to the family of our late associate, and
that the bank be closed on the day appointed
for the funeral, so that the trustees and officers
of the bank may attend

HARTz ExHIBITIoN.-The was good house
at Hartz's second exhibition of his wonderful
tricks of magic last evening. AS before, every
one thought they saw the trick, but they inva-
riably failed. 1t is one of the best things of
the kind ever seen here, and no wonder it draws
such fine houses. There will be an entire
change of programme this evening, when Prof
Hartz will introduce for the first time in this
city, his.wonderful living mystery. The follow
ing received leading presents: Mr.. j. Mitchell,
IA Temple street, a set of gold band china, Mrs.
A. s. Allen, % Temple street, silver plated
fruit stand. A. I. Walsh, 161 Congress street,
a silver plated ice pitcher, A. r. Averill, 24s
Cumberland street, metal toilet set, A. Lord,
% Cedar street, silver plated sugar bowl.

A PHYSICAL STRUGGLE.-On next Saturday
evening the public will have the pleasure of
witnessing the great wrestling match between
Moses Miller and Bauer. When it is remem-
bered that these men are trained athletes and
in the best of practice some idea Of what the
struggle will be can be conceived. The purse
of $500 is made up by sporting gentlemen in
this city who are anxious to see the sport. The
stake is worth working hard for, but when we
add to this the incalculable spirit of intense
rivalry which animates these giants, one can
imagine there will be music in tie air, as these
brawny fellows strain every mnscle for supre-
macy. Men more equally matched cannot be
found, and it is an exciting moment when
these concentrated muscular frames are en-
twined together, struggling for the mastery.
The audience hold their breath in apprehension
of some terrible accident. The match will be
the best two falls in three and is set for three
hours, 8 to III p. M, with the following provis-
ion: Should no fall have been won by either
contestant during the three hours, the men
must continue until fall is gaiued, the winner
of which takes the stakes. Should bat one fall
have been won previous to call of time, the
winner of said fall to be allowed the stakes; in
case each have fall to their credit the purse
to be equally divided.
