THE CITY

FINE STEAMSHIP. .--Messrs. Good
all & Perkins are having new iron
steamship built at Philadelphia for
the trade between Portland and San
Francisco. She will have all the
latest improved machinery and has
been built with the intention of pos
sessing extraordinary speed. The
vessel is named the Estate of Cali
fornia." She is to leave Philadel-
phia in November next, direct for
Portland, which will afford splen-
did opportunity for persons desir>
ing to come to this country, to come
out, as the expense of transporting
their furniture and other household
goods by this route will be merely
nominal, and the comfort and pleas
ure to be derived from a trip thro'
the straits OF Magellan will more
than repay them for the time lost.
Messrs. J. McCracken Il Co., are
the Portland agents of the company.
Mr.. Willard X. Freeman, "A Pine
street, New York. is the New York
agent, to whom all letters of inquiry
in regard to freight and passage
should be addressed.
GooD SERVICE. 1t is conceded by
all that having the fire engine placed
on board of scow and towed to the

of saving thousands of dollars worth
Of property. Great credit is due to
Assistant Foreman NIinick for the
prompt manner in which the stream
was brought to bear on the fire. Al
so to Capt. Nugent OF the Success,
for towing the scow to the scene of
confagration without charge. The
boys at the breaks did nobly, put
tinga stream 200ft from the beach to
the old drum at the top of the chute.

distinguished themselves at all
the world exhibitions and car
ried the prizes IN many branches
of industry. They form good

subject as Miss Softer, who is

A CHEcKERED LIFE.-Samuel Witham died
in Belfast, Me-, Sunday last aged 6s years.
A sailor who visited every part of the inhab-
tied globe, his life was as checkered as is the
usual lot of those who seek their fortunes ON
the deep. More than forty years ago, while
on board a merchant vessel at Montevideo,
one of those frequent South American revo-
lutions broke out. Witham and five others
of the crew were kidnapped or pressed, as
the term is, into the Brazilian navy, where he
served two years and four months without
pay. At one time the ships of the enemy
drove the Brazilian vessels, on board one of
which was Witham, up the Parana river, hun
dreds of miles into the interior, until the ships
took bottom. Fighting until fighting was
useless those who were not killed escaped to
the shore and blew up their vessels They
We're now without provisions or clothing,
hundreds of miles from the sea coast, and
their suffering was great. On the march back,
which occupied months, their only food was
the meat of wild cattle, roasted over the camp
fire. Witham and one other American after
ward escaped, got on board an American frig-
ate lying at Montevideo and served three
years. Arriving at New York, after an alb
sence of six years, his wife and family, un-
doubtedly thinking him dead had gone to
parts unknown, and he never again saw them.
He afterward learned of his wife's death. He
served twelve years in the American navy, all
through the Mexican war, and at the battle
of Vera Cruz was wounded by a splinter from
a shattered mast striking him in the face.
Latterly he has worked us a rigger and a sail
maker in Belfast, where he leaves a widow

Much as has been said and written of the
g!ories and regal majesty Of October, as view
ed in our northern latitude, the half has not
been told nor indeed can it be- for neither
tongue nor pen can fully portray its beauties.
While tray lcrs in other lands exult in foreign
scenes and, as it were, beggar the English
language in their search for words to express
their admiration Of such sights, still we need
not believe that our own land is one whit be-
hind them in her natural scenery. We may
be as justly proud of that rs of her institu-
tions and her laws. True, no stately castles
or palaces Of beauty have here left their ruins
to deck our landscape, but, grander than all
the works of man, we have our mountains
and our hills. our noble streams and fertile
valleys. Even among the hills of old New
England may be found scenes equal in point
of natural beauty to those of more distant
chmcs, and wanting only the pen Of some
master hand to make thom equally renowned.
Among the granite hills of New Hampshire
We last night witnessed sunset which would
have been fit study for the pen Of Il poet or
the pencil of an artist. After a walk of two
hours we reached the lrow Of n hill from
which there burst upon the view a splendid
prospect Of mountain, lill and valley, with
the old Connecticut winding through it, Away
on either side rose ridges Of hills, one behind
the other, seeming to form a vast amphithea-
tire, all natures own handiwork, in the midst
of which was the hill on which we stood
Here and there were seen on the hillsidcs and
in the valleys white spots in the landscape
telling of the sites Of the farmhouse scatter
ell promiscuously around. while over and
anon the eye rested on the spire Of some viii
lago church towering above the trees Away
down on the southern horizon was old Mt
Ascutney, standing like a grim sentinel at his
post, guarding the surrounding hills. Our
view toward the west was bounded by the
Green Mountains Of Vermont, looking dim
and hazy in the distance. while scattered over
the entire landscape were groves and patches
of woodland, here small and clearly defined,
and there of greater extent, entirely covering
the hills, each and every cluster or grove re-
splendent in green and crimson and gold. To
all this beauty add a setting sun, a cloudless
sky, save a single narrow golden strip Just
above the sun, following that glorious lumi-
nary as he gradually sank below the horizon;
then, losing its bright hue, it settled upon the
chain of mountains, seeming like pail spread
for the departed day.
Truly we may say October holds kingly
rank among the months, though warning of
decay and death. The foliage OF our summer,
beautiful rs it is in its growth aud maturity,
is doubly so in its death. Such thoughts fill
ed our minds as the shades of darkness came
upon us and the stars looked forth like an
gels eyes to watch over the earth during the
night GREYLoCR.
