Board of Trade.

At the close of the monthly meeting of the
managers yesterday morning a meeting of the
full Board of Trade was held.
Messrs, George L. Kimball, BENZ. W. Jones
and VIM. h. w. Bean were elected members,
Mr.. Walker of the firm of G. j. Walker q
Co., presented petition very generally signed
by firms and business people of Portland and
addressed to Mr.. Hickson of the Grand Trunk
railroad upon the matter Of providing some
system of mileage tickets for commercial
travellers similar to some of the other roads.
Mr.. Walker thought that if the board would
aid in proper presentation of the matter to
Mr.. Hickson or the right authorities that the
request would be readily granted. All con
CURED in the opinion that the officials of the
Grand Trunk would do anything reasonable 10
accommodate and facilitate the business Of
Portland if some individual or committee
could represent the matter fully to head
quarters.
The subject was finally referred to COM
mittee consisting of Hon. George 2. Wescott,

The State Fair.

The State Fair Trustees were in session in
this city Tuesday evening and Wednesday fore
noon: They partially revised the premium
lists. A very liberal concession was made to
exhibitors of all kind of cattle. The premiums
have been greatly increased, are now more lib
eral than ever before offered in this State, and
the exhibitors will not be charged the usual
per centage Of the premium for entry of stock;
but the exhibitor will be simply required to
purchase ticket and supply his own forage.
More liberal terms with the exhibitors OF horses
will probably be made, too. The premiums on
farm and garden crops will be published this
month. No action has been taken in regard to
building on the grounds. There is strong
talk of erecting one, and at another meeting to
be held III this city next month, the question
will be decided The Trustees will petition the
Lewiston City Council to build road from Col
lege to Main streets, on the southerly side of
the grounds, for new characterization

Boston and Maine.

James I. Farber, General Superintendent
of the Boston and Maine Railroad, in recent
letter to James e. Lothrop, President OF the
Board Of Trade of Dover, N. H, says that he
(Furber) stated last summer before the railway
committee of the Legislature that the corpora
ton which he represents had always been
willing, and is now, to connect rails with the
Portsmouth and Dover road at the latter
point. Mr.. Furber further said that the Boston
and Maine Line is ready to cooperate with
the Eastern road in making Dover billing
point from the West, as. it formerly was for
some time previous to March, 1876.

Cumberland Mills.

An interesting lecture WAS given by Mr.
John e. Warren Wednesday evening at War
rem church on his Experiences in Anderson
vile Stockade." Mr.. Warren was prisoner
nearly six months and he told the story of his
imprisonment with such zest and descriptive
power as to hold the attention Of his large au-
dience to the close. Few of the 10000 men
who passed through that stockade remain to-
day TO rehearse the sad narrative and fewer still
could tell it SO accurately and eloquently.

Railroad Ticket Office.

The building OF the Union Mutual Life In
surance Company is approaching completion.
1t is to be one of the best Office buildings in
the State. 1t has occurred to us that the cor
ner store is remarkably good location for q
railroad ticket and baggage express office, an
accommodation greatly needed in this city.
In almost all other cities of its size, an office
is kept where ladies, as well as gentlemen,
can procure all necessary information, obtain
tickets, and arrange to have their baggage
checked and taken to the depot, and thus be
saved much trouble and annoyance when they
go to take the train.
If the six railroads centering here would
unite in this, it would be little expense to each
company, and afford great accommodation to
our citizens.

The committee were obliged, for lack OF
means, to unite the two classes In mechanical
and architectural drafting under one teacher,
Mr. Wilson Sprague, who taught them SO sue
cessfuly last year. In the mechanical class,
is entered and the average attendance was 10.
Ibis class has made marked progress consider
ing the age of the pupils, many being quite
young.
The architectural class had only five pup lis,
but those who attended made excellent pro-
gress.
The committee were ableto again resume the
tuition in free hand drawing this year. Mr..
John B. Hudson conserving to take the class at
the compensation offered. He however left
for Florida early in the course, and his place
was taken by Mrs. Annie G. Kimball, who
proved to be an excellent teacher, and under
her the pupils made good progress In this
class were IS scholars, and the average at
tendance was 81, which shows decided in
terest throughout and indicates the value of
this branch.
The committee trust that the association
will feel warranted in still more increasing the
appropriation, SO that they can have al archi-
tect to teach the architectural class, and
restore the interest in that branch. While
they consider Mr.. Sprague amply qualified to
give all the instruction in that direction, that
may be demanded in this school, they are
aware that the public will only place full con-
fidence in an ex pert in each department.. They
have endeavored to cheerfully cary out the
wishes of the Association so far as practicable
with the appropriation assigned them, but feel,
nevertheless, that larger sum should be de-.
voted to this purpose.

THE GOOD u OLD TINES.

1t sounds very poetical to say
''the good old times" but if we
should DO strictly truthful, having
an eye upon the actual rather than
upon the sentimental. We should be
more inclined to designate them as
the "mean old times" especially il by
some powerful freak of nature, we
should be taken up aud sot back
among the days that fell to the lot
of those who we're men and women
when our grandparents were little
children. II ia no wonder that Ben
jamin Franklin, with his prophetic
vision, wished it had been his des-
tiny to be born two or three centur-
les later. Think Of the journeys
then requiring days, that may now
be accom- lishel in as many hours,
and with far more comfort. Think
OF sitting in church winter after
