was occupied by an animated discussion of the
question of the use of liquors as a medicine
A letter was read from Hon. E. p. Weston,
stating the fact that the law of the State re-
quired teachers to inculcate temperance prin-
ciples in their schools. Among the resolutions
adopted was the following:
Resolved. That a recent article in the Port

distinguished officer of our army has been, is

ever, was preceded by an invocation of the Di
vine blessing by the venerable Rev. David
Thurston, one of the oldest cergymen in the
State. After the cloth was removed, President
Woods called upon the large company to unite
in singing the hymn which has been sung to
the time of st. Martins at every annual COM

"Let children learn the mighty deeds"
After return of thanks by Rev. Mr. Pack
ard of Biddeford, Gov. Washburn was called
upon by the President, who responded in
brief patriotic speech, but time does not allow
us to speak of it at length. The brief speech
was worthy the head and the heart of its au-

applause. We will take occasion to speak of
this and the other excellent speeches at anoth-
er time.
Gen. Howard, led all eyes towards the young
hero, and called him to his feet. He was re-
ceived with the most tumultous applause. and
he spoke feelingly, and in perfect harmony
with the remarks which had preceded him.
Rev. John X. Adams, Chaplain Of the Maine
9Th Regiment, was introduced, and made a few
heartfelt remarks, in which he spoke of the
eulogies often heaped upon our real Christian
soldiers, even by men making no pretences to
a religious life.
Hon. b. +. Thomas, of Mass, was called out,
and made brief but effective speech. He
was followed by Mr.. Durant of Boston, who
made brief speech, but one of the most eff
fectiye Of the occasion. Rev. DIR. Hitchcock,
of New York, made the closing speech, and it
was worthy Of the occasion, but we must de-
fer all comments till another time.
