M We would call attention to
the advertisement of RATHBURN &
DRoUILLARD, as agents of the great
U. S. Tea Company of New York.
Consumers of tea will certainly find
it very much to their interests to
give these teas trial. By referring
to their price list, it will be seen
that they are selling at New York
prices, making to the consumer a
saving of from 80 to IS cents on the
pound.

This work contains Lectures on
the Vocation of the Preacher" inter
spersed with biographical, historical
and numerous anecdotes of the great
pulpit orators of all ages. 1t is an able
compilation of the various forces in
use to attract attention, and their con-
sequent results, from the apostolic are
to the present era of sensational preac h.
ing. The varied phases of pulpit elo
quence are here admirably depicted;
the work is full of sterling wealth,
CLEANED and garnered from over one
hundred works, whose treasures,
clouded by the dust of passing years,
might not have been available to the
masses of our reading public, but for
the publication of this artisticaIly ar
ranged work. The eminent divines
forming its subject matter, are not
such lamps, as have their rays be-
clouded with the follies of the age, but
shining lights, irradiating the life
pathway of their hearers; not broken
pitchers, that can hold no water, but
sound earthern vessels, brimming over
with purity from the Eternal fountain;
not trumpets, that give an uncertain
sound, but such as utter martial strains,
summoning all to combat for God, vir-
tue and humanity. Echoes from the
voices of these earnest men, should be
found and heard in every American
housebald.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DRowNNa.-Her-
bert Atkinson, of Bar Mills, q young man about
twenty years of age, and a son of Mr.. Da-
mond Smith, about fourteen years of age,
came very near drowning in the mill pond at
that village Tuesday afternoon. The circum-
stances were as follows: Acrew Of men were
engaged in tightening the leaks in the dam,
and young Atkinson and Smith wers employ
ed in bringing rocks from the shore in con-
demned fiat boat They had loaded the boat
down to the waters edge and propelled it
about half way to its destination when it was
discovered that it was fast sinking. The
boy said that he couldn't swim, when he was
instructed by Atkinson to cling to him. I'm
fortunately he encircled one of Atkinson's
arms and held on with the tenacity of a drown
ing man. VIM. Atkinson, father of Herbert,
now started from the bridge below, and run
ming some distance jumped into the water and
swan for the drowning boys. At the same
time Mr.. George Dyer started from the dam in
a boat and the two reached the boys as they
were sinking for the last time. Atkinson was
entirely under water, but Dyer succeeded in
reaching Smith and both were pulled safely
into the boat. Young Atkinson was so far
gone that he did not recognize his father, and
after he was restored did not know that his
father was one of the rescurers. A.

The call for convention at Oswego headed
| by Hon. Gerrtt Smith, President of the Lake
Ontario Shore Railroad, and signed by influ-
entail citizens and public officials along the
route, from Chicago to Bangor, including the
President of the Maine Central Railroad, the
Mayors of Oswego, Troy, Milwaukee; the Pres
idents of the Boards of Trade of Chicago, o.
wego, and other places, indicates the deep in
terest felt in securing the most direct outlet for
western produce to the Atlantic ocean, while
it shows strong determination to make the
Transcontinental Railway across the widest
part of the country practical reality.
The reasons urging the accomplishment Of
this work are so clearly stated in the call, that
we deems it unnecessary to repeat them in this
connection. The choice of Oswego as the
place for holding this convention is wise one,
Oswego being the chief American city lying
upon AXE Ontario, on the same parallel of lat
itude as Portland, between which points, dis
lance of about 300 miles, line must be pro-
vided. . ...-
Between Oswego and Buffalo, q line of rail-
road is in progress, on the most direct route to
Buffalo and Chicago; while east of Portland,
the line is in progress to Halifax, distance of
600 miles.
At the recent fair in Portland, cars of the
European and North American railway came
all the way through from Lincoln, so miles east
of Bangor, to Portland; and before the end of
two years, the cars of this line, on the broad
guage will run to and fro between Portland
and Halifax.
The narrow peninsula between Oswego and
Portland must be crossed by the most direct
route, in order that we may realize the true
importance of Portland in the great CONNER.
cial movements of the day. Whatever may be
said of other projects, the direct line from Port
land west, through New Hampshire and Yer
mont to Oswego and Chicago, will make Port
land great shipping post for western produce
and the Atlantic distributing station upon the
overland route from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc.

MASSACHUSETTS POLITICs.-The Boston

fair way to escape the excited contest over
purely local issues predicted several weeks
ago. The few caucuses already held with
reference to the State Convention next week
have given no sign Of the ground swell so
much talked of last summer. 1t hears of
dark lantern organizations in various parts,
but they do not flourish as they did two years
ago, and in some of the larger towns where
they had controlling power then it is as
sured they have not been formed at all.
