PICNIC.-'rhe Sabbath School connected
with the Baptist Society went to East Trcn-
ton on Thursday last week, and united
with the Sabbath School connected with
Rev. Mr.. Durfee's church and society. in a
picnic. The Ellsworth School. teachers
and friends numbered about 80. The
committee and friends improvised some
queer looking teams for conveyance. which
not only served the purpose of transporta-
ton, but added novelty and picturesque
ness to the movement. The scholars met
in the Westinghouse. where prayer was
offered by Rev. Mr.. Evelcth of Bluchill
and some pieces We're sung in fine style by
the scholars of the Trenton School. The
scholars We're then formed in procession
by the Marshals and marched to the hill
in the rear of the Westinghouse. From
this spot fine view is had of the surround
ing country; AMI directly to the north and
west lovely grove invited the eager and
light-hcartcd children to play and laugh
ter. Like birds just escaped from cage.
or school children just from their tedious
and pulling lessons. came the united
children of these schools to the inviting.
sun-shiny, and pleasant groves for few
hours ofjoyous play.
At three o'clock. after partaking Of the
abundance provided, all repaired to the
westinghouse again, where short addresses
were made by Rev. Mr.. Evcleth, Durfce
and Mr.. Elliot. The scholars of the Tren-
ton School, under the lead Of Warren
King Esq. sang some pieces from the Sab
bath School Singing Books, splendidly.
The Ellsworth School after returning,
passed resolutions of thanks to their friends
in Trenton for their Kindness and atten
ton to them, and also to Mr.. b. +. Austin,
of Ellsworth, for furnishing teams for the
| transportation of this school.
The Excursion was pleasant, and we
doubt not, Il profitable one.

Grand Lodge Of I. o. Of 6. T.

The mi-Annual meeting of the Grand
d 10th in,t>. with the Lincoln Lodge of
Buck>port.
1t was the largest meeting of the order
that ever assembled in the State, nearly ev-
cry Lodge being represented. There were
over 200 delegates.
The reports that came mp frou every sec
lion of the State were Of character highly
encouraging to the friends of the cause.
About forty new Lodges have been insti-
tuted since the april session: and 4 mem
bership of little over 5000 increased TO
over $4,000.
In the county there are about twenty
Lodges in Il healthy condition, and more
will doubtless be instituted during the WIN
ter. The "Hirerside Echo" was made the
organ for the order until the beginning of
another year.
The Session was harmonious throughout,
although there were many questions that
caused a diversity of opinion.
\ public meeting Wa. held in ''I.yceum
Hall" the evening of the 10Th, the hall
was filled TO overlooking. Short address
cs were made by many gentlemen connect
ed with the order.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to
the good people of Bucksport for the kind
and generous welcome extended to the
members of the Grand Lodge.
Nearly every house in the village was
opened for the reception of visitors.
The next Session will be held in Bangor
in April next. h-

to arrive a. the facts, and the circumstan

1t has always been so. and will so con
tinue until wars cease, or the passions
which lead to wrong doing are rooted out
from the human heart. Wars always bring
gagged in them. directly or indirectly. and
when conducted in the spirit of the best
civilization of the age; but when the pas

other determine to win, at any sacrifice,
and set about accomplishing the DISTRACT
ion of human life in all possible forms and
in defiance of all the rules of civilized war
fare. then men become demons, and their
actions gather their inspiration from the
bottomle.s pit.
Unless the story of Andersonvillc Prison
has been from the first grossly exaggerated.
the spirit which actuatcd the men who had
charge of it. from the greatest in authority
to the humblest, must have been OF this
character. With ordinary men. the sick

the constant and ever recurring saadening

shall have to note down in our men cries

blacklist record yet made Of mans inhu-

We have been led to these sad reflect

Mr.. SAWYER -
saw in the last American something
said about President of the Senate and
Speaker of the House, for the next Legis-
lature. Messrs Barker and WOodman are
spoken of as probable candidates for Speak
er. | have great respect for both these
gentlemen, and have no doubt that they
would either of them fill the position with
credit TO themselves and the State. but as
both cannot serve in that capacity at the
same time, there are strong reasons in IA
yor of Mr. Bankers election.
Mr.. Barker had up to the breaking out
of the rebellion acted all his lifetime with
the Democratic party. and when men
were called upon to prove their loyalty by
their acts, Mr., Barker let his old friends
slide, and he took his position on the side
of his country and has been supporter Of
of the Union party ever since. Perhaps few
men have done more through the trying
years OF the rebellion to give confidence to
the cause and to encourage the people IN
putting down the rebellion than Mr.. Bar
ker. Then again understand that tempt
ing offers of Office have been made to him,
of late, if he would only advocate My Pol
icy" and he scorned the offer.
Mr.. Barker has only done his duty
know, but when there is a chance to show
that such conduct is appreciated, it should
not be suffered to slip without doing the
right thing. hope therefore, that Hon.
Lewis Barker of Stetson, will be our next
speaker.
