LongfelIow chautauoua Circle.

In spite of the inclemency of the weather,
Longfellow c. L. S. c. was well represented
at their regular meeting Monday evening,
which was held at the residence of Mrs. II.
L. Houghton. AS pleasing opening to the
exercises of the evening, those present were
treated to song by Mrs. Pember, an able
essay on Slavery in the Roman Republic"
delivered extemporaneously by Mrs. Bash
ford, which was listened to with interest by
all Common sense in dress and diet" dis
cussed by Mrs. Holt Mrs Pember and Mr.
Kimball, and some very sensible ideas pro-
mulgated. Mrs. Fitch rendered Scotch
song very acceptably, and 'Spartacus'
speech to the Gladiators," was finely recited
by Mr.. Laughlin. The question, 'Why
Greece did not attempt to conquer nations
outside of Hellus," was answered satisfacto-
rily by Miss Tompson, and civilization was
defined by Miss Clara Jordan in a very con-
else and scholarly manner. The Circle voted
to meet two weeks from Monday night in the
vestry Of Chestnut street church.

Four Portland Ladies'

The Baltimore American says: At the
Kirmess Wednesday night, four ladies from
Portland, Me-, sat within few yards of each
other-Mrs. j. Wilson Patterson, whose
sister married Mayor Hodges brother; the
two Misses Wood, who are stopping with
her. and, short distance away, Mrs. A. Mel
vile Patterson, who is as noted for her
charming manners and dispositions as for
her great beauty and wonderful voice. Oddly
enough, two Portland girls-Miss Gerry and
Miss Sherwood married two brothers-A.
Melville Patterson and j. Wilson Patterson,
the former of whom died almost seven years
ago. Mrs. Wilson Patterson has recently
purchased a sweet little house on Calvert
street. Mrs. Melville Patterson is now STOP
ping at the "Langham' having returned
from Portland, whittier the illness OF her
father had called her, before the expiration
of the lease of her residence to Mr.. George,
to look after her new house at the corner Of
Charles and Preston streets, for which the
Messrs. Wilson are preparing plans, and
which is to be one of the handsomest resi-
dences in Baltimore

Exciting RUNAWAY.

Yesterday afternoon, at $50 o'clock, as
people were returning home from their
places of business, horse owned by L. C..
Young, the tailor, attached to pung, ran
from Casco through Cumberland and up
Green street to Congress. There he turned
in front of Shaw's grocery store, and as he
turned the pung overturned and the horse
straddled the shafts, which were turned one
above the other. This accident seemed to
frenzy him and he took to the sidewalk, mar
rowly missing Pencils window From
thence to the corner of Brown street seemed
but moments distance. Many people had
hair breadth escapes, and Miss Fessenden,
who is connected with the news depot, was
pushed into doorway, but luckily was not
injured. The animal plunged pell nell into
Solomon Shines store window in the Beaver
block, smashing the heavy plate glass to
fragments, and scattering the ladies' under
wear with which the window was filled. He
regained his legs quickly, and with the rem
nants of the pung at his heels, dashed
through Brown and down Free street. He
cracked the plate glass window in Ham
mond's apothecary store, corner of Free and
Centre streets, and then took the sidewalk
all the way down Free and Middle streets to
the post office, where he was caught. He was
but slightly cut.

BowERY BEACH.

The old stone house at the Cape Lights,
which since the 22d of last January has been
vacant, opened its doors last Friday to re-
ceiye the second assistant and family, con-
veyed to the station by the tender Iris. The
new mans name is Fernando Wallace, and
he is transferred from the Seguin station,
not Boon Island as previously stated.
The old Bowery House, now advertised
for sale in the Portland papers, has very
interesting history. 1t was built for q tavern
long prior to the Ocean House, and was, |
believe, the first public house opened on the
Cape. Some forty odd years ago the house
was used for boarding school, in which the
higher English branches were taught. Many
of the pupils were Portland boys, among
whom were Samuel ]. Anderson, the present
Collector of Customs, and his brother John.
The farmers in this section are doing some
pretty loud growing over the dull market
for cabbages and the low price paid for
them. Within a few days the price has
dropped 50 per ton, while the vegetable by
frequent "peeling" through the winter has
shrunk about third in size and weight.
The price now realized is only IS ton This
season year ago they were worth treble
that sum.

Marshal sIsbse and His Deputies.

Yesterday U. S. Marshal George d. Bisbee
who has held his office for the past four
years, retired from that position with his
deputies, Capt. Augustus L. Smith and
Horace D. Marble, who have also served
through his entire term.
During his service Marshal Bisbee and his
deputies have served some 1900 criminal and
civil precepts in which the United States
was party, and 400 civil precepts. Up
wards of 400 arrests have been made, Of
which 40 were made by Marshal Bisbee,
$40 by Mr.. Marble and 100 by Capt. Smith:
The latter gentleman was also disbursing
officer and has paid out about $4,000 in
money.
Marshal Bisbee has proved himself most
genial, courteous and agreeable gentleman,
prompt and quick in the performance of his
duties, and he has made host of friends
during his occupation of the office. Many
important cases have been placed in his
hands which have been handled in manner
that reflected the greatest credit on himself
and his deputies. OF the latter gentlemen
we can say that Mr.. Marble has performed
all the duties of what is known as the out
side business of the office with delicacy
that was as praiseworthy as his frmneSs and
decision were marked. In all the cases of
the same character intrusted to Capt. Smith
the same characteristics were noted, while
the clearness and accuracy of his accounts
has won the high praise Of his superior
officer.
Capt. Smith, at the new Marshal's request
it is understood, will remain as deputy and
clerk for the present.
Marshal Bisbee, who has continued his
law Office at Buckfeld, will return thither
and resume the practice of his profession.

Cumberland Association of Ministers

The Cumberland Association of Congrega-
tional Ministers held its regular meeting at
the Preble House yesterday. There was
good attendance of ministers, though the
storm interfered somewhat with the meet
ings. Mr.. Gibson gave excellent accommO-
dations for the different sessions of the asso-
citation in quiet part of his house. Dinner

and harmonious. The book reviewed by
Rev. Mr.. Cousins was Canon Farrar's "The
Silence and Voices of God" The different
discussions were entered upon heartily by
the members present, by Drs. Fem and

Whale Shooting.

The whaling season on this coast was
opened by the steamer Hermon Ressing,
Capt. Murray, Tuesday. The Ressing's
crew sighted 60 foot finbaek whale off Half
way Rock and shot him. The whale sank in
80 fathoms of water. When the body rises
to the surface it will be lowed to Boothbay,
where the oil and other valuable portions are
prepared for market at the factory there.
Later in the day two more whales were
sighted, but could not be reached.
These fin back whales range from Cape
Cod to Seguin, and several steamers are en-
.ployed each year in shooting them. Last
year the steamer Fanny Sprague shot Sc
whales, and other steamers captured enough
to bring the number up to rs or so. In last
years catch were two specimens of the
humpback variety. The average yield of
oil to each whale caught is about 30 barrels.
This year the Ressing, the new steamer
Angela B. Nickerson and possibly other
steamers will engage in the pursuit.

a SwindieF.

A swindler is playing very neat game on
our citizens. He has taken U. S. two dollar
greenbackS, pasted the figure ten-which
closely resembles the figure ten on
the government ten-dollar greenbacks
over the figure two, wherever it
occurs on the bills, rubbed out the word two
where it occurs, and substituted the word
ten With these bills he bought small guam
titles of goods at Hudson's confectionery es-
Jewett's periodical store on
Congress street, and at a Chinese laundry,
besides, probably, goods at other places, and
received the change. Keep a sharp eye out
for these altered bills.
