The public meeting ON Wednesday evening,
held In connection with the session of the
Grand Division in this place, was in all re-
spects a magnificent success. Long before the
hour of meeting the spacious Town Hall was
packed to its utmost capacity and hundreds
turned back unable to enter even the outer
door, 1t was estimated by good judges who
had opportunity Of observation that not less
than ten to twelve hundred persons thus fall
ed to gain admission. H l'' ='''.''ii ''i-'" '--

II. 6. Nichols, of this place, and w. P. of Saco
Division, who introduced as the presiding Off

Amy effort to give full report of the exer-
cises OF the evening would burden your col
umnS. 1t may however be said that for two
and a half hours the large audience maintain
ed the utmost order and decorum, scarcely
person leaving the room, while brief addresses
were delivered by eight or ten gentlemen from
! different sections and by Messrs. Kelley and
Rhodes of the Saco Dashaways. The exer-
ClS0S were IflUeTSpcTSeu WlLn excellent music
from the choir of Saco Division. The closest
attention was given to every speaker, and the
greatest enthusiasm characterized the occa-
sion. 1t cannot be doubted that new interest
and success will he impaired to our glorious
reform in the good old town of Saco. Iaeb Ii

+ The Grand Division assembled at halEpast
nine O'Clock, and proceeded to complete the
business of the session.
T. Itwas voted to refer the matter Of special
session in Washington county, to the annual
session, with a recommendation that the ses-
sion in July, 1867 be held in that section.
. The trustees of the Lecture and Tract fund
reported the operations of the past quarter,
and the measures proposed for the future
Among these is the establishment of small
monthly paper as the organ of the Order in
the State. The issue OF such paper is "a fix
| ed certainty, and the first number may be ex-
pected early in June. Other measures not of
public interest were proposed.
The usual appropriations were made, and
after brief time spent in social intercourse,
| the Grand Division adjourned. +, =
Although not large, this has been an ex-
ceedingly pleasant and interesting session. A
large amount of business has been transacted
and many pleasant acquaintance have been
formed. Not least conducive to the enjoy-
ment of the occasion has been the unbound
ed hospitality of the citizens Of Saco and
Biddef0rd to members from abroad. --.

AN amusing story is going the round of
the Paris clubs. 1t appears that a short time
ago a foreign prince made a heavy bet that he
would be arrested by the police without COM
mitting any offence whatever, or in any way
provoking the authorities. The bet having
been taken by member of the Imperial Club
the prince went to one of the most aristocratie
cafes in Paris, dressed in battered hat. rag-
ged blouse, and boots all in holes, and. sitting
down at one of the tables, ordered a CUP Of
coffee The walters, however, paid no atten-
ton to sonsuspicious looking customer. unon
which the prince put his hand in his pocket
and showed them bundle of bank notes. The
proprietor then ordered the coffee to be served,
sending meanwhile to the nearest police sta
ton for sergent de ville The prince was
duly arrested and taken to the commissary Of
police, where he stated who he was, and was
afterwards taken to the gentleman to whom he
made the bet to prove his identity. A similar
story was told at Vienna some time ago Of a
Hungarian prince Seander, M. de Metternich's
son .in-law, who, in order to make his arrest
quite sure, took the bank notes out of his
boots; fi6-c5.t .sl iiJ7
