F9IIsE OF
After daily trial, under your directions, of
IN eHealth-Lift during two months, it gives
me great pleasure to express to you the very
favorable impression it has made upon me-
Lifting, as 1 now do, five hundred pounds,
have never felt the least strain, nor any other
injurious effect. On the contrary, the sensa-
dsns, afses lifting, are only those of exhilara-
tien, lightness, increase of muscular force, and
a pleasant acceleration of the circulation.
Those whom have sent TO you bear the same
testimony. In fact, every one who gives the
Reactionary LITTER fair trial becomes fasci
mated with it. Heaith-Lift rooms, POI Middle

Portland Society of Art.

The first monthly meeting of the Society of
Art was held yesterday afternoon in the rooms
of the Maine Historical Society. The attend
ance was small owing, no doubt, to the time
for which it was appointed, but those present
evinced an interest in the society which agurs
well for its success. The Board of manage
ment reported they had failed to secure the
rooms desired, which seemed particularly we'll
adapted for the uses of the society and have
been unable as yet to find others as suitable.
The next meeting of the society will be held
on the last Wednesday of April, when they
will probably be located in rooms of their own.

City Hall.

There is a misapprehension on the part OF
the public as to the seating capacity of City
Hall. Mr.. Stockbridge says that, with the
concert stage. the hall holds only 1881 people,
but with the addition Of extra seats, 1929 can
be accommodated. With the Grand Army
stage the seating capacity is reduced to 1911,
and with the additional seats, to 1888. The ad-
ditional seats were not put in for Pinafore on
Tuesday night.

A val,1ahle restimonial.

On the seventh of last August Mr.. Isaac ID
Grant, keeper of the White Head Light, per
formed gallant deed. A storm was raging
and the weather was SO thick that it was only
occasionally, as the fog lifted, that objects
could be seen OUT at sea. During one of these
intervals Mr. Grant espied boat capsized and
two Rsn clingingto her bottom. He imme-
diatsly dispatched his little daughter to the
life saving station for aid, ordered his wife to
attend to the fog signal, aud put out to the
rescue of the men in his little boat accompan-
fed by his son. So violent was the storm that
the mast and sails had to be throw overheard,
and 1t was with the greatest difficulty the ship
wrecked men we're reached and taken aboard
In consequence of this gallant rescue'the
Secretary OF the Navy has forwarded to Cap
tain Pickering, Commander Of this Light Dis
trict, a magnificent silver medal, which he will
present to Mr.. Grant. 1t is of size much
larger than dollar and very heavy. 1t has

IS female figure rescuing drowning man,
surrounded by the words Life Saving Medal

We have had occasion at various times before
this, to call the attention Of our readers to the
Importance and value of the Safe Deposit Co.
last ten years 1t is especially important to all
that class of persons, both in the city and ceun-
try who are owners of bonds, Stocks securities,
valuable papers, plate, jewelry, works of art
and other valuables, and whose surroundings
are not favorable for the safe keeping of such
property. Private safes, with few exceptions
are no protection against fire: and many of the
strong bank vaults, and the vaults in store
houses, and counting rooms in this and other
cities, have been found unable to resist the
skill and cunning of burglars. The general
lack of confidence in, and want of places of &C.
curity, have led to the establishment in all our
larger cities, of Safe Deposit vaults, which
have won the approval of all who have exam
ined them and the entire confidence of their &C.
cupants.
The vaults of this company are an absolute pro-
lection against fire, and aside from their bur-
glsr proof qualities, are so constantly guarded,
day and night, by an efficient FORCE that the
surveillance exercised over them, even regard
less of their own strength, renders the efforts of
burglars unavailing. As will Be seen by REFER
ence to the list of directors in our advertising
columns this company is under the manage
msnt OF some of the most prudent, careful and
experienced business men of our City and
State, and has commanded the fullest conf
dence of all who have had occasion to entrust
their property to its safe keeping.
