MAY III 1oiz
The mass rehearsal of the Pennington Socie-
ty for the Jubilee ended this evening, and as a
whole we think the class rendered the pieces
finely; and we are satisfied that they will do
themselves honor at the coming Jubilee. Show
hogan organized class for the Jubilee, but we
learn their application for admittance to the
chorus was not received in time, and they will
go with theis class Twelve very fine singers
from that place were here. ST .-u-aia st trg
This evening, after few pieces were rehears-
ed, while the singers were Catching their
breath" letter was read by the Secretary
from the Haydn Association of your city, invit-
ing this class to participate in mass rehearsal
Portland the first week in June. 1t 10 hoped
that the society will take measures to attend. 80
After intermission the class were favored with
a few selections by some of the members. which
deserve especial mention: Consider the Lilies
and 'The Last Rose Of Summer" were sung by
Mrs. DE-. Fred Haines of Skowhegan Her
rendering of these two pieces was above critic
ism; it was grand. BRIDES Looking out for
Me-" was sung sweetly by Mrs. L. Morrison of
Skowhegan. A very difficult selection for the
piano was given by Miss Ada g. Brett of Farm
ington, in very artistic manner, and fine eff
feet hI slt .mse. al. 2 5000 1858
An invitation was extended to our singers. by
those from Skowhegan, to visit that place, and
hold rehearsal, also give concert in the eve

accepted a'-. Tm 4@ H-0 JACK.

The Lewiston Journal says nearly all the
Democratic leaders in that section are ready
to support the Cincinnati ticket, not because
they specially admire it. but because, as they
saw. il is the only chance for the Democratic
party to get into power, and because they ex-
pect to control Mr.. Greeley so as to make his
administration, if elected, practically Demo-
cratic. The Republicans in Androscoggn
who will support the Cincinnati medley are
very scarce indeed.

THE WORLD declares that the endorsement
OF Mr.. Greeley by the Baltimore Convention
is The moral, political, social and economi-
cal '"pos''oftity, which every selfrespecting
democrat would have instinctively declared
it to be at any time previous to the Cincinna-
tConvention." Moral impossibility,, with
the Democratic party is good as a figure of
speech but is rather laughable otherwise
We give notice to the World that in the way
1t puts the matter there is not 'iselfrespect-
ing Democrat among the Maine leaders.
They are all making for the federal crib via
Horace Greeley.

asked to print personal description of the wo-
man found murdered at Fitchburg, Mass, on
the 9th inst, in the hope that it may lead to
the Identification of the body 1t will be re-
membered that this was one.of the most mys-
ferrous murders on record-the body having
been found in a growth of young pines, cover

the crime had not been committed many hours
before. The following is the description:

ONE of the best evidences of change in
the course of the New York Tribune, since
the nomination of its chief at Cincinnati, is
the fact that it was little more than year
ago emphatic in its demands for the Ku Klux
bill, and has supported the enforcement of
the act until within short time. Now it
declaims against it as ''the unprovoked insult
and injury of continued military rule"

The FOREST FIRES IN PENNsLyANIA.-Fur-
Their particulars are received of the fierce fires
in the woods along the line of the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western Railroad The fires
extend distance Of thirty-five miles, and
threaten the destruction of all the lumber in
those regions. Passing by them, the engineers
on the road cannot see more than ten feet
ahead, and have to drive slowly and cautiously.
Passengers are almost suffocated by the smoke
and suffer greatly from the heat. The town of
Tobyhanna has been entirely surrounded by fire
since Tuesday, and five hundred men are work
ing heroically to save it from complete destruc-
ton, but the prospect is that they cannot sue
ceed.i Up to noon Friday, fourteen houses have
been destroyed. On the outskirts of the vii

sumed. AT Carbondale, on the Delaware and
