soldiers. Mon,,noant Association.


AT the meeting of the Association, held in
Reception Hall, Saturday evening, President
j. Marshall Brown was in the chair, and Sec
rotary Roberts read the minutes of the last
meeting.
A. A Strout, Esq, and Col j. G. Cobb,
committee appointed to prepare stock certif-
cate, were not present.
Gen. Brown said he had not appointed a
committee to lay out the plan for raising funds
as he thought the executive committee should
be consulted. He thought chairman and
committee should be appointed for each ward,
to canvass that ward thoroughly and on the
same day, say Decoration Day, and report that
evening. He thought $4,000 could thus be
raised ard then the people who had given it
could go to the men of wealth and say, "Here
is what We have done; what will you do?" He
thought the Association should reconsider the
vote authorizing the appointment of COM
mittee of seven to report plan and advised the
society to leave the matter in the hands of
the executive committee.
On motion of j. O. Rice, seconded by Col.
T. A. Roberts, the vote referred to was recon-
sidered and the whole matter referred to the
executive committee.
On motion of Elliot King it was decided to
hold meetings once week, and in the mean
time, before Decoration Day, all subscriptions
would be thankfully received and no efforts
spared to get them, and on motion of Capt.
Themes to keep the subject constantly before
the public.
Gen. Brown said he had received the offer
from society Of ladies to give the
give the proceeds of a fair to be held third of
May to the Association and considered it fav-
orably. Mr.. w. S. Dana supported Gen.
Browns views, as did Col. Roberts and Capt.
G. e. Brown.
A list Of five new names was handed in by
Mrs. A. M. Sawyer and two by Mr.. J. f. Nor
ton, making the total membership SGT.
On motion it was decided the next regular
meeting be held April 18th.

The Longfellow Certiflcate.

We have been sending some of the smaller
Longfellow Cards to friends in different parts
of the country, and it has occurred to us that
no more acceptable Easter offering could be
sent than the 'Longfellow Certificate" Al
ready, those in this city who have contributed
one dollar to the Statue Association have been
requested through the Presto call at the
Banking House of J. B. Brown & Sons-to re-
ceive these certificates
Yet probably many have not as yet done SO.
We advise them not to neglect it, for the po-
session of one of these pieces of parchment
should be matter of pride to every son and
daughter of Maine, and would be a great en-
loyment to any appreciative person any where.
The committee who had charge of the ar
rangement of this certificate has successfully
and admirably accomplished delicate and
difficult task. And the sheet as it lies before
us, brings feeling of intense satisfaction as
we look at it, sOur Longfellow," "Our Deer
ing's woods, /" 'Gur view of Casco Bay,
But no word picture can well represent this
beautiful work of art We can only repeat the
advice to those who are already members of
the association TO procure their certifcate-and
also the suggestion to make an Easter offering
of some of them to friends away from Port
land. For the Bronze Statue to the memory
of Henry W. Longfllow is no idle dream, and
before long-we shall point to it with pride
and with loving gratitude to all those who
have helped to complete this worthy memo

A man stopping at the City Hotel told one
of our merchants yesterday that when he was
on Grand Trunk wharf, that day, two intoxi-
the vessel to which, one of them belonged, and
which was lying close by, tried to get his man
away and aboard, as crowd was collecting.
Finally the sailor ran up the plank connecting
the vessel with the wharf, but his foot slipped
and he fell overheard. He was probably
drowned, the man said, as he did not come to
the surface. The merchant made inquiry of
the undertakers, the police on that beat, and
the Grand Trunk watchman, but none of them
had heard ANYTHING Of such an affair

Irish Land League.

A special meeting of the Portland branch of
the Land League was held Saturday evening,
President John A. Gallagher in the chair.
1t was reported that the sum of $50 had
been raised by subscription from the members
of the League for Irish sufferers, and the mon
ey will at once be sent to the officers of the
National League.
W Fl. Looney, Esq, spoke earnestly of the
condition of affairs in Ireland. With a Land
League of $50 members the sum of $50 was
much too small to be sent from Portland. He
was inclined to believe the state of affairs in
Europe would lead to more interest in the
League here-the London explosion would call
the attention of the world again to the evils OF
Irish landlordism. Mr.. Looney's remarks were
received with applause.
On motion of Mr.. Looney it was voted that
the President call special meeting of the
League as soon as notice is received in regard
to the National convention.

Capt. Gerry Rounds, of Gorham, was mail
ried in 1888 to Miss Sophronia Davis, in Bux-
ton, by Rev. Thaddeus Pomroy. The captain
kept open house last Tuesday evening on the
seth anniversary, and some $50 of his relatives
and friends called, bringing gifts of gold and
silver besides other valuable presents. The
collation. was of the best, and when we say
that Rev. Elijah Kellogg gave an address full
of interesting "reminiscences of the Golden
time" it is easy to see that that part of the
entertainment could not be improved. We
hear the presents are worth more than $500
and the affair was a decided success.
