THE CADETs.-The appeal of the Cadets to
their friends was most generously responded to
last night, City Hall being crowded to witness
the splendid drill and enjoy the dance which
followed The movements of the company and
their proficiency in the drill were wonderful,
and one felt as if they might safely compete
for the championship. The fancy drill of the
color guard and of Lynch and Winslow were as
perfect exhibitions of military science as one
can well conceive of. At the opening dance as
many people took places ON the floor as could
find room, while the sides and galleries were
thronged with spectators. These young sol
ders are to be congratulated on their success.

THE FIRST PARIsH.-The adjourned business
meeting of this parish was held yesterday af-
ternoon. The sum of $500 for music was vot-
ed. Upon taking up the question of the min
ister's salary, John Rand, esq, the Moderator,
announced that by the charter nobody could
vote on the iquestion except pew-holders, who
must sign their name and number of pew on
the back of their ballots. One gentleman arose
and protested against such rule He said
such vote would not express the true parish
feeling. That many who attended the church,
and upon whom its welfare depended as much
as on the pew-owners could have novoice in the
matter. Of the 4S votes cast IS were given in
favor of salary of $1,000, not half of the pew
owners voting, it is said; whereupon Messrs.
ST. John Smith, John E. Donnell and Mark p.
Emery resigned their positions as Parish Com
mittee, and John Rand, Lewis Pierce and Hez-
ekiah Winslow were elected.

A meeting of the business men and citizens
Was held at Union Hall on Saturday evening to
hear the report of the committee ON bridge mat
tiers and to take some action in regard to OBJ
tanning ferry landing in Portland. The meet
ing was organized by choosing N. o. Douglass
Esq. chairman,::A j. Robinson Esq. secretary.
Col. r. S. Smart chairman of the committee,
was called and replied in the judgment of the
committee the question of bridge had better be
indefinitely postponed as they had had con-
ference with parties in Portland who owned a
large amout of real estate in Ferry Village and
that but one gentleman had even made an offer
to assist in the enterprise; and he has since
withdrawn. The cost of such a bridge as
would accommodate the public would be from
$4,000 to $4,000, and would only serve to land
us on another bridge that is INSTRUCTED and al
most impossible I'M consequence of railroad
tracks at the Portland end, and that the delay
occasoned by two draws and obstruction by rail-
roads would make,ajourney to Portland equal
to pilgrimage to Mecca. The bridge question
was indefinitely postponed
The question of ferry landing in Portland
was then taken up and discussed by Messrs.
Smart, Cole, Kincaid, Calef, Dr. Lowell, Wiley,
Henley, Cleaves and others, who spoke in ia
vor of good and substantial line of boats, and
all agreed that all that was necessary to insure
the same was free landing in Portland. The
people of Ferry Village and vicinity pay to
Portland merchants annually $4,000, all they
eat, drink and wear being bought in Portland,
(rum not excepted) and that about $150,000 of
shipping is owned in this vicinity, from which
Portland merchants reap large benefits, and in
the opinion of these gentlemen if this state
ment could be presented before the full City
Council and hearing had on the same Port
land would grant their request and give them
landing by themselves or in conjunction with
the Peaks Island Ferry. DR. J. w. Small was
appointed committee to petition the Select
men to call Town Meeting to take action to
present the question of landing to the City
Government. A committee of twenty was APP
pointed to confer with the inhabitants of Peaks
Island in regard to petitioning for free land
ing in Portland. The meeting was harmoni-
Gus; all expressed belief that Portlanders had
better do their own business than to have the
interference of the Legislature. The meeting
then went into secret session. Adjourned to
meet at Union Hill Saturday April 20, 1872

SENSATION IN A CHURcH.-The AduertiSer
says that on Sunday morning Rev. Mr. Buck,
pastor of the Park Street Unitarian Church,
prompted by discussion which he had heard
ON board steamer between lady and gentle
man of opposite theological views, preached
from the words of Christ ''This day shalt thou
be with me in Paradise, and argued that Christ
by His words did not necessarily mean Heaven
or promise forgiveness to the thief, that the
word Paradise among the ancients meant the
common abode of the dead, good and bad. At
the conclusion of his sermon the Hon. George
f. Talbot arose and said he should like to ar
que the point with him, and then took the other
side, claiming that Paradise did mean Heaven
and that very likely the thief might have stolen
bread 10 save his family from Starvation and
was crucified therefor, il being well-known that
slight crimes in those days were punishable
with death. When he had finished Mr. Buck
said he was much pleased to hear Mr.. Talbot's
remarks. That it was a cause of complaint in
many churches that the minister had every
toing his own way in the pulpit and he hoped
the system thus inaugurated would be contin
ued. The affair caused quite asensation in the
