The Emerald Pool,

On the 10Th of last November the PRESS
contained notice of the various sketches Mr.
II. B. Brown had been making during the
summer vacation, many of which were then
described. At that time some idea conld be
obtained of a work on which much time and
patience must have been spent before it would
be ready for delivery to Mr.. Harmon of Cali
fornia, whose great wealth enables him to
crafty his artistic taste. That work was the
Emerald Pool near the Glen, one of the most
beautiful and romantic spots in lthe White
Mountains. The Pool is now completed, and
in few days will be shipped to California, SO
that those who desire to see it must visit Mr.
Browns studio before Tuesday next.
The painting is 50x3S in size, and is mag
nif1cent example of autumn at the mountains
For warmth and richness of coloring it will
commend itself to all. The solidity of the
coloring is also a marked feature. and the
scarlets, yellows and browns are SO skillfully
laid on that nature is caught in one of her
most pleasing moods There is breadth and
height given to the picture by the careful
management of perspective that grows upon
the spectator the more he studies it. In the
distance Mt. Carter rears its head among the
clouds, with lesser peaks in 'front.' and a
glimpse of Tuckrman's Ravine just peeping
forth. The hillsides on the right and left of
the foreground are covered with dark, giant
pines, brilliant birches and blazing naples,
while on the left. an old birch is growing in an
almost prostrate position, its foliage pendant
over the cliff. In the centre foreground the
Peabody River, foaming, creamy torrent,
discharges itself into the dark, green waters of
the Emerald Pool in the immediate fore
ground. There is tender sentiment of the
pine woods, mingled with the grandeur of the
mountains, that makes delightful atmos-
phere, and we regret, with others, the paint
ing must leavesP Portland, while we congratu-
late Mr.. Harmon on the prize he has obtained.

the prisoners in the Ellsworth Jail about 3
o'clock yesterday morning, Three of them
built fire in the window, or stone port hole,
from fuel they had secreted, hoping to break
the stone by the heat, remove the iron bars
and make their escape. Unfortunately for
them wooden spout, extending from the
caves to a point near the window, took FIRE
and in a few minutes was blazing to the caves
were filled with smoke, and as the prospect of
serious confagration was not cheering to the
prisoners, they gave the alarm and Sheriff
Devereux soon extinguished the flames with
out calling out the engines Five minutes de-
lay would have given the fire complete control
of the roof and made the saving of the build
ing we'll nigh impossible.

A NEW SINKER.
A Valuable Patent for Fishermen.

MIR. William H. Andrew of Portland has
Just taken out patent sinker for fishermen
that will Immediately commend itself to all
of that profession and has already been en-
dorsed by many of the best men that sail from
this port. The sinker is of various sizes, from
one and half pounds to nine pounds in
weight. At one end there is swivel to which
the hook is attached, so fashioned that once
the fish takes the hook he cannot get it out of
his mouth, no matter what lodges he at
tempts. At the line end is spiral spring so
arranged in the sinker that the fish cannot
jerk the line out of the fshermen's hands, or
snarl, or "muss up" the line. The strain on
the line has to be steady and regular. 1t will
thus be seen that Mr.. Andrews invention is
really valuable one.
