A reporter of the Advertiser has been taking
a look over the business field and gives the
opinions of thirty Portland firms on the pres
ent condition and prospects of business. The
result of his observations aud the drift of their
opinions are very encouraging. The condition
of trade is believed to be sounder than for
many years. In the principal lines the inn
provement is marked. Profits are larger in
proportion to capital, bills are more promptly
paid and prices steadier. We are evidently on
th mending hand. Sales are increasing and
the tendency of prices is upward. The worst
is over; aud unless legislative folly throws OBJ
stacles IN the way Improvement will be sure If
omewhat slow.
Perhaps the most marked improvement is 10
the dry-goOds trade. All the great firms re-
port large orders and brisker business Mil
goods have all been sold ahead The clothing
trade has also improved The who sale houses
find a much more hopeful feeling among their
customers The fancy goods trade does not
exhibit much change, and the millinery bnsi-
ness is smaller. The boot and shoe trade is
healthier. There has been falling off in
gross receipts, but prices are steadier and the
margin Of profit. we are led to infer, quite as
great Opinions differ as to furniture but the
prevailing belief is that it is looking up. Rub
Der goods naturally have not comm anded great
sales in this dry season The crOckery trade
shows decided improvement. There is de-
crease in the wholesale drug business, owing,
we may hope, to decrease of sickness. The
carpet trade is no better, bat an improved mar
ket is looked for after the resum ption of specie
payments. The reports from the carriage
trade are unsatisfactory-to the manufacturers
People refuse to initiate Mother Gooses child
reD, who went a-sleighing on dry ground. The
book trade is decidedly looking up. Paints
oils and varnishes are in greater demand The
outlook for lumber is encouraging and dealers
believe the lowest prices have been touched.
The amount that will be put upon the market
is large. Cooperage is better than for the past
two years. The hardware business is increas-
ing. The iron trade is better. Machinery re.
mains about the same. Ship stores and chand-
lery shows decided improvement. The grocery
trade is on the mending hand The fish bust
ness, except in mackeral, is looking up. The
fourtand grain trade is quite as good as last
year, through the volume of trade is not SO
large. The packing trade shows little change
On the whole the outlook is favorable. There
is greater steadiness of prices, more certainty
of getting paid, and less capital is required.
People are more cautious about buying, but
reader to pay for what they do buy, aud less
frequently ask extension of credits The gen.
eral opiuion of our business men is that trade
is slowly but steadily improving, and will be
still better after the resumption of specie pay
ments is achieved. The only thing they fear
is an unwise interference by Congress with the
currency question.

Mr.. A R. Dunton has another article on the
Hart NJ 1rder in the Camden Herald. For the
most part it is repetition of his former state
meut, but some new and very grave charges
are made He says thst one of the anonymous
letters was altered. According to Mr.. Dunton
in the log book written by Mr.. NJ eservey the
word "be" was spelled 'bea'' The word was
spelled the same in the anonymous letters Mr..
Dunton says, but some one erased the ga %
Mr.. Dunton also accuses the county attorney of
testfyiDg in direct contradiction to his previous
statements made both verbally and in writing.
He also indirectly charges the county attorney
with determination to convict Hart at all haz-
ards, guilty or not guilty That officer fire..
quently told him, if Mr. Dunton can be believ-
ed, that if he could convict Hart he could go
to Congress, but if be failed it was ruin.
Mr. Dunton's charges ought to be investisat-
ed aud il it be found that they have been made
without strong evidence to back them up,
their author should be punished. 1t is no
light offence to accuse innocent men of murder
and perjury.

A Geological Excursion.

The geology class of the High School took the
morning train on Friday over the Maine Gem
trail, for trip to Brunswick aud the Topsham
quarries, to enjoy the privilege of field day.
After pleasant ride to Brunswick thence by
carriage across the Andtoscoggtn river through
Topsham the class arrived at the Feldspar
quarries. The region of these qusrries is rich
in neurological deposit. They are owned by a
company belonging in Trenton, N J. Field
spar is guarried, ground, packed in barrels and
sent to New jersey, where it is made into por.
calain ware Few people except those in the
vicinity are aware of the popularity of this re-
gion for neurological exhibit. The object of
the trip was to visit these qoarries and search
for minerals that are rendered accessible when
work Of removing fedspar is in progress. A
satisfactory supply of quartz crystals, feldspar,
mica, magnetic, garnets. beryl graphic gran
lite, gueiss, mica schist &c.. was secured At
ter returning to Brunswick part of the after
noon was spent in visiting the Cleveland coll
lection at Bowdoin College, the chapel aud the
chemical labratory. The class returned by the
evening train after enjoying day that will be
followed by memories of an instructive and en-
joy able character.
At a meeting of the class the following reso.
lutons were unanimously passed:
Resolved That the class of 80 appreciate the con-
fdence and wise Indulgence of the school Committee
in granting the request for a geological field day;
thus manifesting generous willingness to favor
whenever possible the true method of scientific
study.
RESOLVED, that the thanks OF the class be rendered
to Mr.. PaysDn Tucker, Supt Maine Central r all
road who, with his usual courtesy aud sensible APP
preciaIion of the project, rendered the excursion
possible by generous reduction of fares; also to Mr.
W. H. Marrett Of Brunsw lex for his kind attention
and unreserved efforts in aording pleasant convey

The FrieudivIau.

Mr.. Herbert A. Bishop is young man of
good personal appearance and intelligence He
recently r-.cams to this country from England,
he having been here before. When Mr.. Hunt
left the Friendly Inn'' as superintendent, the
managers being unable TO hit upon any one to
put in his place, ano Mr.. Bishop being here
out of employ msr t, they gave him chance to
earn bis board until he got a stuation-by as
ssling mot superinteudiug) in conducting the
Inn. He has been in this position for several
weeks and has conducted himself very nicely
until last Thursday. He has been man who
was addicted to thu habit OF induleing IN liquor
drinking and was sent to this country in hopes
that he might get rid of (which was well
known to the managers of the Inn, who con-
Quoted themselves accordingly, consequently
saving the Inn from any embarrassment in CASE
be went back to dis habit. Last Thursday the
appetite coming upon him he yielded, as So
many others have done, though not unexpect-
eddy to the managers, who had been fearful OF
it. 4e continued more or less Intoxicated un-
til Saturday night, when, at the suggestion of
the managers, who. thought it for the best, be
was taken to the station house by Officers Flick
EFT and Gill. Everything at the Inn went on
as well as ever just as though nothing had hap
pshed.
The managers do not give him mp, and will
leave no stone unturned to cause his reforma-
ton if possible. They say the report in regard
to the matter published in the Sunday Times,
was very incorrect.

THE WHALE.-The work of dissectiog the
whale, which has been going on at House Is
land for the last two weeks, was completed
Saturday. The work, which was very labor
ious, has all been done by Mr.. E 81. Bowers
of Boston, who purchased the whale from the
schooner's crew. Every bone in the body has
preserved and the skeleton will bs mounted
for scientific purposes after having been macer-
ated for two years in fresh water. Prof. Ward
of Rochester, N. Y, VITO is the largest dealer
in natural history in this country offered
$50 for the bare skeleton and dissect it himself,
aud parties in Cincinnati, Ohio, have offered
$3.50 for it since being dssected. Mr. Bowers
will retain it himself and take it to Newton,
Mass, and put it in Mr.. G. ] Maynard's labor
atory, to remain there during the process OF
maceratior. The yield of oil, which is of a
very good quality, will be about fifteen barrels.

heart. The minister is the one whose duty it
is to supply the truths which feed this fame of
faith. but ne cannot keep 1t alive without the
aid of his peopl4, who must work cheerfuiy
with him, and put the truths in practice. He
spoke tenderly of the relations bstween pastor
aad people. relation like that of the family,
which he suggested might have something in
it beyond this world and continue in future
