P.L. 1. PARADE.-The Portland Light In.
fantry under command Of Capt. c. p. Mattocks
made their first public parade under their new
organization, yesterday. They did not leave
the armory until about IL o'clock, on account
of the threatening appearance of the weather.
They turned out some forty muskets. and
made fine appearance in their new uniform
which is of cadet grey, neat and handsome. 1t
was got up by Mr.. Arthur Noble, and every
suit fits like wedding garment, rejecting
credit on the maker. The cap is of the regular
army pattern, with fountain plume of red.

the corps, IN their uniform last worn-bearskin

MED the corps.
The company marched to the grounds of the
western promenade where their tents had
been pitched, and. after performing some mill
tary evolutions in handsome manner, sat
down to acollatieafprepared in the marquee,
where they enjoyed fine time. 1t was an oc-
cason OF extreme pleasure to all the men,
bers.
LII the afternoon the company marched
through many of the streets of the city, at
tracing marked attention and affording great
pleasure to the citizens by their martial APP
pearance, and the ease of their movements
The residences OF Hon. Senator Fessenden,
Gen. Shepey, Lieut. III. p. Deane, and Gen.
Anderson were visited and the compliments

The rain did not at all discourage the soldiers
and they marched along as easily as if the
weather was of the most pleasant character.
In the evening an elegant party of stair wo-
men and brave men" assembled in the City
Hall; where Mars, having laid aside his stern
in many cases, was overcome by the superior
charms of Venus. 1t really was a pleasant
sight to see our fire hall once more (clear Of

different uniforms contrasted so prettily with
the dresses of the ladies and where bright eyes
sparkled, and rosy checks were deepened by
the crimson tide as tender words were spoken
by manly lips. And who could keep from
dancing to such music as was furnished by the
Portland Band; the foot insensibly keeps time
to the stirring strains of the cotillon and the
ravishing sweetness of the waltz. All seemed
thoroughly happy, and we could only regret
that we were compelled to tear ourselves away
so early when all were enjoying themselves So
hugely. and the hosts were leaving no stone
unturned that tended to the enjoyment of their
guests. Success to the Portland Light Intan-

THE sEMI-ANNUAL SESSION of the Grand
Lodge of Good Templars was held at Rockland
on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
More than three hundred delegates were in at
tendance. 1t appears that the order has not
lost in strenth during the past six months, as
it now has 305 lodges in good standing and
$4,000 members Measures were taken to put
lecturers in the field. The conclusions at
which the lodge arrived may be briefly stated
thus: First, temperance men demand State
police to enforce the present prohibitory law !;
second, they design to insist upon making the
present law more stringent if it fails to accom-
plish the purpose intended, though they are
willing to accept it Professionally; third, they
will organize so as to secure the election of
temperance men to office, without disturbing
present party organizations, if possible, but in
no event will they vote for anti-prohibitionists
