NEW BAGGAGE CHEcK. -Thomas's Patent
Baggage check has been adopted on the Port
land and Ogdensburg railroad. This is a de-
cided improvement over the present style, as
IL allows baggage to be checked direct to points
On connecting roads where ticke}s are sold by
the company that issue it, without the trouble
10 the passenger of having his baggage re-
checked at each change of cars. Under the
present system each station oE a railroad has
its own check of peculiar form or is stamped
with the name of the station. The Thomas
checks for whole road are of uniform shane.
and enclose small square card which is chang
ed in moment and shows the name of the
road and the station to which it is hound The
reverse side OF the card bears the name of the
station whence it started and it readily finds it's
way home in the ordinary course of business.
Another recommendation for the check is that
it guards against the theft of baggage, for as it
gives no indication on the face of the place
where it started, the finder of lost duplicate
cannot claim piece of baggage, not even his
own without instant detection. By very sim
Pile arrangement the general baggage agent is
enabled to keep daily record of all his checks
and can tell in moment where every check is
that has been issued by him to passengers or
station agents. 1t will probably be adopted on
other roads in Maine,

UNIvERsALIsT LADIES' FAIR.-We under
stand that the ladies of the Inda street Uni
versalist Society, are making preparations for
splendid Fair, to run through a series of days
and evenings, for the larger part of week. -
Active preparations are already begun, by
which the entertainments are to vary from day
to day, and the interest kept up to the end. 1t
will come off about the first of November The
details we are not apprised of in full, but they
will appear in due season.
The church building will be by that time SO
far advanced towards completion, that the
large audience room will be in suitable condi.
ton to hold the fair in: and so it is proposed to
| open and continue the fair in that building
| The room will be all completed except putting
in the pews, and will be just the place for the
| occasion.
! We hope these faithful ladies will see the
fruits of their labors and be satisfied. The work
| has gone on thus far with good success, and
bids fair, with proper exertions, to come to a
successful termination not far in the future.
The Congress Square Society are quite inter-
ested in the success of this proposed STEP as
we are told, and many of that flourishing soci-
| ETY. intend to lend helping hand. Between
them both it must be sue ess.

We cannot srefrain from abiding to the i'm

OF Drummer Boy celebrity. 1t was thorough

it richly deserved the heartiest demonstration
applause The vocal music by DR.. S. G. Fer
maid and a chorus of male and female voice
was charmingly rendered. The drama is emf

and we trust that the hall will be crowed OF
each succeeding evening of its performance.
