counsel for the respondents, whom under
stand to be Hon: BiOh Bradbury of Portland

the American and Maine Telegraph Compa-

discussion between the counsel of each side,
a compromise was made by fixing next
Wednesday afternoon for the hearing. Much
interest is manifested in this question, and
the legal talent retained on both sides is unu-
sually strong; equally so is the LOBBY nnu-
ence, and in the parlance of the ring "nobby

'identally fell from a staging to the pews be-
ieath, a distance of twenty-five feet. receiving
srious internal injuries which will disable him
or life, and from which he is now confined to
the house. A few weeks since the unfortunate
man had bill presented to him by the trustees

he fell, amounting to the sum of $780, and he
paid it!'

afternoon and evening, January 25th.
For, years past, through storm and sunshine,
these meetings have been held, aud always
with profit to those who attend.I hcT or
The only drawback has been that which has
resulted from the general Indifference to the
canse, inducing a much smaller attendance
than is desirable. All should be brought I'M
der the discussions and exhortations upon this
all important subject The proximity of this
appointment to our city, will afford an excel
lent opportunity for friends here to exhibit
their attachment to this branch of moral re-
form. Many persons who'have been frequent
ly urged to attend the monthly meetings, and
whs have seemed only to lack the time, will,
it is hoped, avail themselves of this opportu-
nifty to contribute by their presence TO enliven
the occasion, and strengthen the hands of
those who against all difficulties, have perse-
vered to keep alive this valuable organization.
This is the annual meeting, at which officers
for the year viii be elected. t..a,, ....-.....
