Accidents,

Miss johnson, an old lady residing at No. is
Casco street, fell last week and cut two severe
and dangerous gashes in her head from which
the blood flowed freely.
Saturday afternoon George Roses team ran
away at the corner of Federal and Temple
street, throwing him out and hurting him quite
badly. A wheel was broken off and the horse
ran furiously down Federal street.
Saturday evening as the mixed train which
leaves this city OH the Portland & Worcester
line at 6.45, was passing the foot of Green
street man attempted to get on the rear plat
form OF the last car. By mischance his feet
slipped from the platform and he was carried

Harry Browns Studio.

Saturday Harry Brown held his usual week
ly reception at his studio Oh Danforth street,
which was largely attended.
Among the principal pictures is one, still on
the easel, representing Tuckerman's Ravine
from the Glen road. In the far distance may
be seen the snow-capped top of Mt Washing
ton, with the ravine little this side, almost
encrcled by the chain of hills, with Hermit
Hill almost in the middle distance. A little
to the right is Huntington's ravine and Ray
mond's cascade. In the middle distance is
the delta formed by the great unbroken front
OF pine woods In the right foreground is
Peabody river, with splendid birch tree on
the further bank, and in the left foreground
the Glen road, winding its way along bordered
with birches and pines that throw their shad-
ows across it. The play of light and shade in
the picture is admirable, and the harmonious
blending of the various green's in the pine
forest with the belt of dark frs, that separate
their dense foliage from the brighter green's of
the foreground, contrast most effectively with
the varied shadows thrown by the hills, and
the white of the snow-arch in Tuckerman's
ravine. The painting is 25x3O inches in size,
and when completed will no doubt find a
ready purchaser.
There is Renaissance of Italy in one of
those dreamy italian pictures Mr.. Brown loves
so well to paint, that is intended for Mr.. Elwell
of the Transcript; charming beach scene at
Kennebunk with the slvery foam lazily cir
cling up on to the single, while, in the dis
lance, the fog is melting away before the sun;
three charming marines, taken at the Cape,
one with broad sunlight effects, that are very
pleasing But perhaps some of Mr.. Browns
best efforts will be found in the beautiful little
glimpses of woodland and brook, such as those
in Conway valley and at Artists brook, where
the SUMS rays penetrate the interlacing
branches of the elms and naples, and feck the
turf with sunlight while the water has that
CLASSY appearance so familiar to our readers.
There are also some delightful paintings of
scenery in the Saco valley and on the Songo
that would worthily adorn any mans gallery.
But we cannot name fraction of the pretty
things that may be seen at the studio, and we
advise our readers to go and look for them

The Babv Show.

Owing to a provoking typographical blunder
in setting up the advertisement of the baby
show the tariff of prices was enormously
stated as being IS cents for reserved seats and
30 cents for admission, when they should have
been only 80 cents for reserved seats and %
cents admission rs cents for Children These
low prices ought to ensure full houses to the
enterprising originators of this unique and
pleasing entertainment.
The show will consist Of baby show with
out the noise and confusion usually attending
such exhibitions. All are 'sprize babies.'' No
quarrelling mothers. No savage fathers. No
excited brothers and sisters Each baby shows
off equally we'll.
Most of the babies to be thus exhibited have
been carefully selected from negatives taken
by j. Il. Lamsom, our we'll known photo
grapher. Upwards of eighty transparencies
have been prepared. All parts of the city are
to be represented. The picture of each baby
will be thrown upon a mammoth screen by
means OF fine stereopticon and the Drum
mond light Besides the exhibition of Port
lands prize babies, beautiful programme, in
Producing all the attractive features of baby
land, will be rendered during the evening. This
programme will consist of cradle songs, lula
bles. reci'ations both serious and humorous
accompanied in all cases by appropriate illus
trations. Thus to the picture of a very lovely
little babe, Hattie Randall will recite George
McDonald's exquisite lines, "Where did you
come from, baby dear?" AS the picture of
baby Philip -, with large, noble eyes, is
thrown upon the screen, Miss Muloch's beauti-
full poem, "Philip my King" will be recited.
10 a thoughtful little fellow, Sophie Bedlow
will address j. G. Hollands poem, "What is
the little one thinking about?" Those laugh
able poems, "Little Yawcob Strauss, ''and "Dot
Baby ov Mine, accompanied by graphic illus
trations, will be recited by Johnnie Berry.
Mr.. Smyth will read short selections from
Longfellows Hanging of the Crane" while
pictures of the Household sovereign" and of
his little sister call covered and uncovered
with curls" are shown. M. G. Pingree will
pronounce Mark Twain's celebrated toast,
while all kinds of babies in groups of four
will be exhibited. "A fine quartette is to rem
der two favorite lullabies, "Sweet and Low
and 80, Hush Thee, My Babie.' Miss Belle
Bartlett and Miss Merrill are each to sing two
beautiful lullabies.
Altogether most interesting and varied
programme may be expected. No pains or ex-
pense have been spared. Everything will be
brought out in the best possible manner. The
,stereopticon to be used has been furnished by
Rev. E. G. Bolles and is known to be a very
good one. Prof. Fuller of the Natural History
Society is to operate it. OF the music and the
literary portion of the programme there can
be no doubt.

Splendid Swine.

Four very fine Berkshires were landed from
the New York steamer in this city Thursday,
en- route to the stock farm of Geo. Blanchard
Il Bros, Cumberland Centre. They are from
the Berkshire herd of T. S. Cooper, Coopers-
burg, Pa, Linden Grove Farm" the largest
and most noted breeder of Berkshires in the
United States, and who imports from England
the choicest strains. Mr.. Cooper says these
Berkshires are the finest lot he has shipped
from his yards for year, and they combine
the best Berkshire blood in America in their
breeding. A visit to the farm of the Messrs.
Blanchard will repay one in viewing their
large and choice herd of Jerseys and fine lot
of Berkshires.
