The General Conference of the
Congregationalists Of Maine.

Upon the outside of the American of to-
day will be found the sayings and doings Of
this body Of Christians of our State. The
dongs of no single conference or of no single
church possesses the interest of this body,
comprising as it does the whole denomination
of the State. The report is taken from the
Temperance Journal and gives pretty full
account gifts action on the question of sus
tanning the Boston Society in its withdrawal
from the New York Tract Society Great
interest has been felt on this question, and
anxiety as to the position which the Congre-
sationalsts, Baptists &c. &c, would take in
their annual State gatherings. The Baptists,
it is said, unanimously voted to sustain the
Boston Society, in the Convention at Bidde-
ford, although we do not find anything in
relation to the subject in the Adrocate which
published its doings.
1t is known that a good deal of feeling
has been expressed against the New York
Society, because of its course on the Slavery
question. OF the millions of copies of its
publications annually scattered abroad, no
single line against the crime of slavery issues
from its prolific presses, So careful, tinii !,
and pro-slavery are its directors that in re-
printing some works, the text has been mu-
tilated. While it is careful to condemn
dancing. tobacco using. (they are deserving
of thanks for this latter) and some minor
evils, the major sin of slave holding, is
ignored. Never a word is said against this
"sum of all villianies, Now large share
of the money contributed to the treasury of
the Society comes from the active, earnes,
men and women who believe that this abomi-
nation in the land should be combatted, the
same as any other evil. The Boston Branch
Society withdrew from it in May and expects
to be upheld in its course and sustained in its
work of issuing tracts against all sin con-
delnned in the Bible, by the New England
religious badies Therefore the interest felt
in the doings OF the body of Christians named
at the head of this article. 1t Is cheering
that SO many members were true to their
convictions, and to the Northern sentiment
while it is to be regretted that eight men
could be found sustaining the New York
Society, headed by that pro-slavery, politi,
clan Elk Judge Sheplv.

Garibaldi, the Hero of Italy.

We perceive that Messrs. Street & Smith,
the proprietors Of the Ne,c York Weekly,
announce a new story from the pen of A. j.
II. Duganne, under the above title. Mr.
Duganne is said to have been intimate with
the famous Italian patriot while the latter
was in this country, and to have gathered
the material for the story upon which he is
at work from the lips of Garibaldi himself
Such production, just at this time, when
the whole civilized world rings with the
fame of the selfsacrifcing and disinterested
Italian patriot, must produce an immense
sensation. People will read with avidity
everything relating to Joseph Garibaldi, in
whom the hopes of an oppressed people are
conferred.
The CosxorotlrAN ART JouRsAL. The

THREE ERAs OF WoxAN's LIFE. BY Eliz-
abeth Elton Smith, Boston: 7. C. & P.
Bunham.
We have received from the publishers
copy Of the above work. II has been well
received in England, where the auther re-
sides, exciting great interest. We have had
only time to glance at its pages, but have
read enough to find it interesting, instructive
and philosophical in treating of the phenom-
ena Of life. The London Literary Gazette
speaks Of it thus
ave most cordially recommend this work
to our readers. The girl, the wife, and the
mother; such are three eyentful epochs that
the author has undertaken to dilneate: and
with equal truth, delcacy, and feeling, has
she drawn her pictures. The characters are
well developed in an interesting story
JAMES LAST NOVEL. We have read from
I. B. Peterson L Co. "rhe Cavalier, bv
G. p. X. james.
From hasty glance we judge it to be
readable book like all the production of
this voluminous author, interesting
1t is not wonderful that he should report
the character, scenes and incidents Of former
works, since no living author of fiction has
probably ever written so much.

The Fourth-a Sad Accident
Minor Ones.

There seems to have been but little prepara-
ton to celebrate the Fourth in this section.
In franklin, we understand "a very creditable
Fair was held. In Castine there was some
thing of il time, but to what extent we have
not heard. We learn that very painful
and distressing accident occurred to one of
the active young men of Castine, while
making arrangements for the celebration.
Mr.. f. F. Coli s,whle attempting to decor
ate with evergreens, the oxen which were
hauling to the grounds the trees for the
decorations about the tables, was thrown
from the tong of the team to the ground and
the wheels passed over his body injuring him
so badly. that he died in about half an hour.
Mr.. Collins was a young man of much
promise, and universally beloved He has
been a frequent correspondent for the Ameri-
can.
His remains were followed to the grave by
Engine Company No 2, of which he was a
member, and the Castine Light Infantry

The trusty and ever faithful delegate from
Otis, of course was there.
We left before the ballotjngs were finished
and clip from the Wing the following graph
ic account Of the scene on voting the second
time for delegate dc.
Shepley Roberts and Bradbury elected. No
choice of the fourth.
Col. Stanley moved that the highest de-
feated candidate be declared the fourth dele
gate. The voices for and against it were
about even, and the chairman could not de-
eide which had it. Col. Stanley then with
drew the motion, and Il motion, to adjourn
ed till O'Clock was carried, amid tremen-
dous shouts of NO" Beng put again,
the "Noes" had it,
A motion to ballot again was declared de-
tcated.
The chair remarked that he couldn't tell
how motion was decided, in the midst of
the noise.
After another Babel of tongues. another
motion to proceed to ballot was made.
Mr.. Wiggin, 1.-THE highest candidate on the
Douglas tlcket,) renewed the motion to adj
lourn. Voted down by a tremendous .No,"
Mr.. Whiddcn of Calais, declared that he
was free to say, ne never saw the democracy
of this State so badly disgraced as in this
scene this afternoon lie moved to ballot
again forthwith, which motion was carried
Another ballot was then taken, but with
out the use of the check list, and in the midst
of an excited crowd who were yelling "Wic-
gin, /" Farley" Farley &c, at the top
Of their voices. The committee took up the
votes in various hats, with the largest and
freest popular sovereignty" after the pat
tern Of the Bangor Democratic Caucus.
Mr.. Bahson, who was on the Committee,
declared that one man had voted five times.
He said he was informed that Hastings
Strickland had voted three times
At this charge, the Major fired up, and
said something about "kickiny the gentle
man if he persisted in that statement.
Bahson-"You had better try it on, young
man ~
There was an excited crowd between the
parties, and the kicking didn't come off.
After another scene of uncxampled confu-
sion, the committee retired at quarter past
seven, with the votes that had been rushed
m-thinking. we presume, that it wouldn t
answer to wait for more.

They were situated on land adjourning the

caused the buildings to burn with great
rapidity. Mr.. Roberts boarders together
with his neighbors did their utmost to con-
fine the flames to Mr.. Hamor's estate, but
without avail. The gale seemed to increase
Instantly, and communicated the FIRE to Mr.
Roberts barn which together with his carriage
house mot quite finished. } were Immediately
RACED to the ground, the hotel took fire thrice

gagged in erecting new stable &c, for Mr.

FINE EVENINGS AND FINE Muse. The
Evenings of late have been very fine, tempting
most people to be out enjoying them. The
Band land we have often had occasion to
speak in praise Of its proficiency and talent
has treated our citizens to some excellent
music since the evenings have been warm
and dry enough to be out. The citizens of
the village ought to make up IA purse and pre-
sent it to the Band to encourage them.
