William Senter has just completed his
50th annual account of stock. He came to
Portland from Portsmouth in his boyhood
and served an apprenticeship to the jewel
ler's trade with Oliver Gerrish, who is still
enjoying hale oldage. In 1886, with Abner
Lowell, fellow apprentice. he formed the
firm of Lowell & Senter, which for many
years was the leading house in its line in the
State. The firm made a specially of rating
chronometers and dealt largely in instru-
ments and charts for the use of seamen. At
ter the fire of 1866 Mr.. Lowell took the jew
elry trade on Congress street and Mr.. Senter
the nautical business at the old stand ON Elk
change street, though still in partnership
In 1870 the firm was dissolved, and Mr.. Sen
ter continued alone until 1873, when his
nephew, VIM Senter, Jr., was admitted TO

The COMMENTATORS.

A very large number was present at the
vestry of the Church of the Messiah last
evening to take part in the Conversations
given by the Ladies Circle. The windows
of the yestry were prettily draped and the
tables were laid at the side of the room,
bearing coffee, bread and cake.
After short time spent in social inter-
course, and forming new acquaintance,
Rev. Mr.. Crosley called the assembly to or
der and briefly explained the manner in
which the conversations was carried out
abroad. He then invited the audience to
partake of refreshments, and as they passed
along by the tables they were waited on with
coffee, and helped themselves to bread and
cake, and taking seats were soon engaged in
social intercourse.
After all were satisfied the audience were
entertained bya piano Duet by Miss Gertie
0rdway and Miss Anna Belle Shaw. Rev.
Mr.. Crosley then made some remarks, and
was followed by solo by Mrs. c. Fl. Pratt,
a Duet by Mrs. Pratt and Mrs. Gardner,
and a solo by Mrs. Gardner, with Mrs. Nor
rill as pianist. All present appeared
to be well pleased with the manner in which
the party was carried out and seemed to en-
joy themselves.

Sanding the Sidewalks.

To the Editor Of the Press,
The thanks of this community are due to
Rev. MIR. Blanchard for his timely remarks
in your issue of the Sd inst, relative to the
Sanding of the Sidewalks" This matter
has been very well attended to ordinarily,
heretofore, by the Street Commissioner, but
the recent sad calamity to our shade trees
and the consequent state of the streets, has
prevented him from giving that attention to
the sidewalks so desirable, but the fault has
been largely by the neglect of residents on
the streets, all of whom are supposed to have
supply of ashes, if not of sand, on their
premises, which could be made available in
such state of things as referred to. For
the want of little consideration, or fear of
a little soiling of their floors or carpets, they
are unwilling to use such preventative, and
thus save themselves and every passer-by
from serious accident to limbs, if not to the
loss of the life of some neighbor, friend or
citizen. The case of the lady referred to
might have been prevented by very little
trouble on the part of the residents in that
neighborhOod.
1t is hoped that every good citizen will
hereafter take this little precaution, as sug-
gested by Mr.. Blanchard, and that the City
Marshal, Police and Street Commissioner
will in future, look after the clearing of the
walks from snow and ice, where it is now
neglected, and as in some instances, shame

After Many Years.

Coming out of Portland recently, says
writer in the Somerset Reporter, fell in
with gentleman who had just visited the
natural seaport for the first time in num-
Der of years. He entertained me with the
improvements since his former visit. He
had not seen Deering Park since it had been
transformed from COW pasture to what Is
sure to be a delightful public park. His
words of praise for his former place of abode
were prompted by viewing the many hand
some as well as substantial business blocks,
the improved style of architecture employed
on the fine private residences and the gen.
eral air of prosperity which pervades the
whole town.
