Reme for Aged Men,

A grand promenade concert will be given at
City Hall on Friday evening under the aus
pices Of the Congress Square Social Committee
for the benefit of the Aged Mems Home, and
all who were SO fortunate as to be present on
the entertainment given last spring under the
same management will, we are convinced,
make an effort to attend the coming one,
which cannot fail to be fully as enjoyable.
The Congress Square Union will furnish re-
freshments In Reception Hall and the attend
ance upon the tables will be by the young la
dies of the parish. The Home for Aged Men
is now fairly established, and the proceeds Of
the last entertainment was devoted to furnish
ing quite number of the rooms. Funds are
now needed for supplies for the Home, and all
who purchase tickets will, in addition to hay
ing pleasant evening with our friends of
Congress Square, be helping most worthy
charity,

The Julia Norton ASHORE

AT Gloucester, Mass, heavy northeast gale
with rain, ragged all Monday night, with ex-
trsme violence. A small feet of three-nasted
schooners in the outer harbor rode out the
gale in safety. The brig Julia Norton, from
Cape Verde IslandS for Portland, anchored in
the outer harbor, dragged her anchor at mid
night, and drifted ashore on the rocks at
Fresh Water Cove, where she pounded heavily.
She was full of water. and will probably go to
pieces. The crew of eleven men were res
cued with great difficulty by the life-saying
crew of the Massachusetts Humane Society.
The brig has been the victim of a series of
misadventures while coming on the coast. She
experienced very severe weather in crossing
Georges Shoals, and the crew were badly
trostbitten and refused to do duty. Feb. I'd
she spoke the schooner Champion of Gloueea.

Arriving off Eastern Point last Friday after
noon, they were unable to work the vessel in
to port, and signalling for aid the steamer
Samuel O. Jones went to her assistance and
towed her to aR anchorage. The brig was
owned by Mr.. Norton of New York. She was
in ballast, and consigned to Chase, Lsavitt &
Co., of Portland.
The brig has two holes in her bottom, and is
full of water. The tide will leave her high
and dry upon the beach, and it is possible she
may be hauled off and repaired.

the gentlemen, but as the quarters were rather
limited the party adjourned to the dining
room.
The conference was called in order that the
city committee might ascertain tho views of
the party in regard to the course to be pursued
in the coming municipal election. It was
agreed, however, that to discuss any nomina.
ton at this time would not be advisable.

The Damage Bone in the City.


Monday evening news was received by teIe-
graph of an approaching storm and the Boston
steamers did not leave their docks. The
storm reached Portland at about one O'Clock
yesterday morning. The wind was high and a
large amount of rain fell during the night.
Only one accident of any great consequence
has been reported. The wooden building in
the rear OF q. Thompson & Co.'s store and
used by them as a blacksmith and carpenter
shop was crushed in by the weight of the snow
on the roof. The floor of the second story was
carried down to the ground floor. Many of
the floor timbers were broken off showing the
force of the shock Mr.. Thompson estimates
his loss at about eight hundred or thousand
dollars.
Stores in the Row and on Commercial street
were flooded. At j. F. Randall's on CONNER
cial street the iron snow guard was broken
from the roof and scuttle was demolished.
Owen, Moore & Co., found their packing

water running in at the back entrance.
Several cases of goods which arrived Monday

BOwdoin College,

Much dissatisfaction prevailed among the
students and the alumni over the selection of
University crew last fall, and, during the
present torn, the sentiment has grown SO
strong that at recsnt meeting Of the Boating
Association it was voted to disband the present
crew, and to substitute the class crew OF '85 to
represent the college. This crew is composed
as follows f. n. Whittier, Captain and No.
2; f. w. Alexander, stroke; f. T. Brown, No.
8; F. W. Davis, bow. This crew in the spring
OF 'S3 beat the best record ever made by a
crew in this college, rowing over the three
mile course in IS minutes and 514 seconds.
They are undoubtedly the best craw in the
college md their election as the University
crew seems to give general satisfaction.
The Boston Advertiser says there is the best
authority for the statement that the paragraph
printed in numerous papers to the effect that
Professor Hardy of Dartmouth had been in
vited to the presidency of Bowdoin college, Is
without the slightest foundation. No presi-
dent can be elected until the commencem emit
next summer. The committee having the
subject in charge have never considered Prof.
HardY's name az all.

were made by Mr.. Harry Dresser, president of
the society; Mr.. Fl. G. Pearson, ex-president,
and by Mr.. F. A. Bowdoin and Mr.. Gao. Fos-

very Charming duet. Mr.. Howard Littlsfeld
favored the company with several solos, which
were exquisitely rendered. Master Millard

by an excellent recitation. The latter part of
the evening was spent in the playing of sew.

auspices of this society will be given at the

The streets were in awful condition yester-
day owing to the heavy fall of rain during the
night on the piles of snow. There were no
crosswalks and pedestrians were submerged to
the waist. Rubber boots in the uptown cross
streets were of no more advantage than Arctic
overshoes. There should always be a portion
OF the street appropriations reserved every
year for the purpose of removing aud leveling
the snow in the cross streets (as we'll as the
thoroughfares) if it cannot be carted away, and
the city should see to it that the CUTTERS and
culverts are kept clear. We do not recall a day
when pedestrianism met with SO much diff.
culty-as yesterday.
No fault can be found with the Street Com
missioner, Mr.. Staples, for he is working as
hard as he can to make the streets passable.

it goes it will be hard fought, and both teams are

Deputy Marshal Crowell and Policemen
Thrasher and Rowe arrested lIr. and Mrs.

morning for larceny of $3.50 from Samuel Law
renee of North Yarmouth. Mrs. Cole who is
a nice looking young lady of 10 was employed
at the Lawrences, and Cole worked at neigh

which was opened by removing the hinges.
Mr.. Cole and wife took the midnight train for
Bangor Thursday night and visited various
places in that vicinity. At East Newport thew
represented themselves as party on bridal
tour. On learning that they were pursued by
officers they started for Boston and were ar.
rested here on notification by telegram. Cole
says his wife took the money, and she admits
the same, though it is said that circumstances
indicate the opposite.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cole were brought before the
Municipal Court yesterday afternoon and were
bound over in the sum of $500 each to the
May term OF the Superior Court. A bank
note for $50 was found sewed in the lining Of
Mrs. Coles cloak,
