persons were thus far killed and twelve injured
by the running lava. The villages of San Sa-

in getting away safely. The lava is now adj
vancing towards the villages of Ponticella,
Cercerola, st. George and Portici, which have
been abandoned by the inhabitants The peo-
pie living in the towns OF Tore del Greco, Re-
sina and Boscotscare have also fed as those
places are threatened with destruction. Home

shelter. Yesterday the lava advanced at the
rate OF one kilOmetre an hour, but to-day its
pace slackened. While there has been a num-
Der OF heavy explosions in the interior of the

Ferry Village.

The Union Brass Band will give one of their
popular concerts at the M. Z. Church in this
village tomorrow, Tuesday evening, which
promises to be one of their best For the last
three weeks they have been rehearsing, under
the direction of Prof. Charles Grimmer, Sc
lections from Zilkoff, Ringleben, Busdick, A.
B. T. Smith, Plefke, Heinicke, Hilbucht, Wal
lace, Retzel and others of equal note. We
understand that the proceeds of this entertain
ment are to be devoted to benevolent purposes
and that the ferry boat is advertised to make
one trip after the close of the concert
Since the first of April thirty families have
moved into the village, which has made quite
demand for tenement houses The people are
beginning to learn that Ferry Village as sum
mer resort is a desirable locality. For natural
scenery, the view of Portland harbor, the
Islands in Casco bay, the sight of inward and
outward bound vessels, steamers and yachts,
to cannot be surpassed from any other stand
point on our New England coast. The salubri-
ty of the atmosphere is the next point. Ferry
village lies inland just enough to avoid the cold
sea breezes that are experienced on many of
our coast promontories, and near enough to the
Atlantic to temper the land breeze with that of
old ocean. The people are sober, intelligent
and Industrious No consumptives, chronic,
catarrh or dyspepsia. We have no lawyers
rumsellers OF police officers. No one here as
pires to that dignity; each and all are p law I'M
to themselves. We have two doctors-of the
allopathic school-and of the Cincinnati per-
suasion (they are allowed to stop here ON Their
behavior). We have but one minister, Rev. b.
Freeman, whom the people delight to honor.

FIRST PARIsH-Rev. William H. Knapp of
Cambridge, Mass, preached two able sermons
yesterday at the First Parish church. In the
morning the subject was Creation and 1mmor-
tally" Text, Rev. LIST, chap. 9Th, verse al
pha and Omega" The idea presented was
Faith in God and future life from the evil
dences of creation, the lessons of life, and the
process of so-called death in the natural as well
as physical world
In the evening the subject was "Perfect
Love" The differences between pharisaical
and self-sacrifcing love was forcibly and
beautifully contrasted, showing the Christian
duty and the beauty of living with faith in the
ideal, trusting in mems best qualities even if
we are often deceived and betrayed. Every
soul possess elements of a Christian life and
perfect love consists in working on in self
sacrificing spirit for the good of the whole
world around us. He closed by reciting finely
Winters recent beautiful poem, my Tri-
umph." -
MT Knapp is an able preacher, keen think
er and clothes his admirable ideas in terse and
beautiful language. aeiil sn
CONGRESS STREET M. E. CHURcH.-Rev.
W. Nj. Sterling of Vermont commenced his
labors at this church yesterday. The services
commenced with singing the tune Coronation"
The text was Job %: 81. He remarked that
the book of JOB was the subject of much COM
ment and by some considered not part of the
Bible, in short out of place. 1t does in fact
differ from all the rest of it, and only goes to
show what effect calamity had on a good man.
We are to consider after all that he was but
man. The first lesson is, we should not trust
in an arm of fiesh We are prone to do SO. Do
not think preacher more than man. The
onei that stands before you is not angelic He
has his trials like other men. The people should
follow so close after him, should stand SO near
him as to keep him from falling back. The
second lesson is Confidence, in which a. good
nan can approach God. This should be exercised
p the same manner as the child trusts the
earthly father. The third lesson is, God will
De reasoned with. He says, "come let us rea-
ION together" The discourse was listened to
With great attention and gave satisfaction to a
good congregation.
