PORTLAND SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY
TO ANIMALS.
The name of this corporation, and its zeal, sufficiently indicate its objects. It was organized in May, 1872, and las accomplished much towards remedying evils that had too long been allowed to pass without the interposition of the humane.
The report of the efficient agent, Mr. A. M. Sawyer, for the year ending April 5, 1878, shows that the number of complaints made were 221 ; number of cases investigated, not on complaint, 151. Total, 372. The cases are classed as follows : horses overdriven, 5; overloaded, 75; starving or neglected, 35; glandered, 1; left exposed on the street, 10; working old, lame, and disabled, 50. Cattle starving, 2; cruelly exposed, 13; eruelly beaten or abused, 1. Dogs fighting, I. Fowls cruelly cooped, 5; fighting, 1; cruelly tying, carrying, or abused, G. Calves, cruelly tying, carry- ing, or abused, 4.
The following summary exhibits the agent's action on the above complaints and others : Offenders not found, 15; ex- aggerated or malicious complaints, 62; warnings issued, 119; corrected on notice, 140 ; horses mercifully killed, 31; glandered horses killed, 1; prosecuted, 2; convic- tions, 2.
The agent says,-
" The number of complaints has diminished very much the past year. To me this is an evidence that the publie are being educated to the importance and value of exercising care in the treatment of animals under their charge. The knowledge that the society is en- gaged in its daily rounds of duty, watching the various places where cruelty is most likely to be practiced, has manifestly had its effect."
Officers for the year 1879 : Nathan Cleaves, President ; Miss O. Carroll, Secretary and Treasurer ; Arthur M. Saw-

GEORGE S. HUNT, only son of Frederick E. and Eliza R. (Smith) Hunt, was born in Derry, N. II., Feb. 8, 1829. His father was a native of Northfield, Mass., spent most of his life as a merchant in New Hampshire and Massachu- setts, and died in 1840, aged thirty-eight.
His mother was a daughter of Capt. Nathaniel Smith, of Gloucester, Mass., who was an East India shipmaster. She died in 1840, aged thirty-eight. Their children are Ann E. (deceased), George S., Abigail Smith (deceased ), and Susan E., wife of Albert H. Breed, of Lynn, Mass.
One year prior to his father and mother's death George S. came to Portland to spend the winter with a relative, William Allen, and on account of the loss of his parents, and consequently his home, he remained an adopted and accepted member of the Allen family for twenty-one years. Until the age of eighteen he attended the grammar and high schools of Portland, at which time, unaided pecuniarily, he started out for himself. For five years he was a clerk in a jobbing fruit store. In 1853 he became a clerk for P. F. Varnum, a jobber of flour and grain ; here he re- mained for four years. In 1857 he spent two months on the Island of Cuba, during which time he formed a large business acquaintance, and while there entered into arrange- ments with several Cuban merchants to export various American products. In May he returned with a large importation of cigars, and thereby made his trip a profitable one and of future interest. Ile at once opened an office on Commercial Street (which he still retains) and com- meneed a trade with Cuba, exporting lumber and general merchandise, and receiving sugar and molasses. In that year a heavy financial erisis came upon business men in this country ; yet so well were his plans laid, and such was
his judicious management, that his first year's extensive business was carried through safely, but with little profit. A second and third visit to Cuba, in 1859-60, gave him inercased opportunities for an extensive business which he still continues, and ranks him among the most enterprising, active, and successful business men of Portland. In 1859 he first interested himself in shipping, and has now interests in a large number of vessels that belong to the district of Portland.
In 1874 he associated with him in business Joseph P. Thompson and Frederick E. Allen, formerly clerks, and has since done business under the firm-name of George S. Hunt & Co. Mr. IJunt is connected with and interested in many local enterprises, and has ever been prompt to render his aid and counsel in their management. He has been a director of the Merchants' National Bank for four- teen years, and succeeded the late Rufus E. Wood as its vice-president, and also succeeded the same gentleman as president of the Central Wharf Corporation. IIe has been the commercial agent of the Eagle Sugar Refinery of Port- land since 1871, and was one of the original stockholders of the Forest City Sugar Refinery, succeeding T. C. Hersey, in 1875, as treasurer and business manager. Hle is also one of the pioneers in the beet-sugar enterprise, being the president of the company. Mr. Hunt has devoted his life wholly to business, and, although interested in appro- priate local and State legislation, has never sought any political preferment.
Sept. 22, 1863, he married Augusta, youngest daughter of the late George S. Barstow, a well-known and prom- inent resident of Portland for many years. Their children are Arthur Kinsman and Philip Barstow.
