The fifty second Anniversary and Com
mencement at Colby University began Sunday
night with sermon before the Boardman
Missionary Society delivered by Prof. S. X
Smith, ID. The church was filled before
the exercises began. The sermon of which
we give brief abstract, was listened to with
deep attention. The audience were expecting
fine sermon but were disappointed, since it
exceeded their expectations. The following
is an extract:
Mat. 25, 37--39.-"Lord, when saw We
thee an hungered ana fed thee, etc. The sur

Ny Dear Sir .--Yours o, the x6.h ult.. only
reached me three days ago. I respond as
promptly as may. The problem of civil
service reform is rendered difficult BY an al
lance between the executive and the legsla-
/ tive branches of our federal government
These members of Congress who favor the
administration habitually claim and are &C.
corded q virtual monopoly of the federal Oh.
ces in their respective States or districts die
tating appointments and removals as interest
or caprice may suggest. The President ap-
points at their bidding; they legislate in sub
servience to his will, and often In opposition
to their own convictions. Unless all history
Is unmeaning this confusion Of executive and
legislative responsibilities and functio could
not fail to distemper and corrupt the body
polite. I hold the eligibility Of our Presi.
dents reelection the main source OF this
corruption. A President should be above
the hope of future favor and the fear OF
alternating powerful and ambitious partisans.
de should be the official chief, not of party
but of the republic. He should dread moth
ing but the accusing voice of history and the
memorable Judgment of God. He should full
ly realize and never forget that Congress in
its own sphere is paramount and nowise
amehdable to his supervision, and that the
hearticst good will to his administration il
perfectly compatible with the most pointed
dissent from his lnculeations in the very
gravest questions in finance or political
economy. 1t is the first step that costs. Let
1t be settled that PRESIDENT Is not to be re-
elected while in office and civil service is no
longer difficult he will need no organs or
no subsidized defenders. lie will naturally
select his chief councillors from among the
aoiest and wisest of his eminent fellow citi-
zens, regardless alike OF the locality and the
suggestions OF a selfish policy. lie will have
no interests to conciliate, no chief OF pow
erfnl clan to attach to his personal fortunes.

treat Cry and little Wool.

About half past ten o'clock Saturday night
the citizens of Hallowell were awakened
from their quiet slumbers and pleasant
dreams, by hearing a furious ringing ofthe
Old South Church bell and Immediately after
the cry of fire was raised A large crowd
of the "boys who run with the machine" was
promptly at the engine house, and started
their engines, "Tiger' and Torrent" down
Wat CT street, but where was the fire? whose
dwelling was being destroyed By the devour
ing element? was the question asked, when
man from Manchester, named Bowman, ap-
peared upon the scene. the persperation
standing in great drops on his forehead and
his whole countenance exhibiting the greatest
possible excitement. He informed the ex.
cited crowd that man had just been drowned
in Winthrop Pond, and he had come to Hal
lowell to give the alarm and get help TO re-
cover the body. The man who was drowned,
he said, belonged in Hallowell. Several OF
the bystanders repaired to the residence OF
the supposed drowned man, ard found him
at home, but very wet inside as well out
side.
Now to sum the whole affair up in nut
shell it amounts TO simply this A young
man in Hallowell concluded Sunday morn
ing to visit Winthrop Pond for the purpose OF
little innocent amusement. SO he procured
some person to set him over TO the island,
and while there and IN company with Mr..
Hill the proprietor of the island, they both

Hill set the Hallowel man ashore hen he
made for home; but Hill in returning to the
island missed his friend and concluded he
must be drowned, forgetting that he had JUST
set him ashore, when Hill commenced to call
loudly for help. Bowman living near the
shore heard the cries of Hill and procure,
boat and went out to see what it meant. Upon
being informed that a man was drowned and
who it was, he fastened TO Hallowell ~ get
formed that Maj Haines, the undertaken for
the city, after hearing who was drowned and
knowing that he did not have a suitable coffin
on hand, repaired TO his place of business
and worked nearly all night to make coffin;
also that the supposed drowned man not be-
ing fully satisfied the next morning, if he was
dead or alive, borrowed pair of grapples
and went out to the pond to fish for himself
He says the only cause of his taking little
too much, was that he had been suffering for
a long time from the effects of having tooth

Messrs. Stevens and uam are ,ocs,ea. With

Messrs. Stevens and Ham are located, with
many others. Mr.. Ham Is President Of the
Association, and devotes his business tao:
and enterprise fully to Its interests. On the
south, where the leland is fully open to the
sea, are many fine sites for building yet un-
occupied.
The plan of the Association to sell as many
shares as is possible, (each share to include,
besides o lot containing one fourth of an acre,
all the general privileges and uses of the
Island and its appurtenances), and to vote
the proceeds Of this sale to improvements
upon the Island in roads, wharves, Halls,
Bowling Alleys, etc., seems to be one, that
taken all in all to all persons living near
who wish to secure at economical rates, a
healthful and pleasant home for themselves
and families during the heat Of the summer
months. A fine wharf was erected last year
which has abundant use as a landing for the
steamer and sailing vessels, boats and yachts
that are continually in readiness to make
trips to every desirable point in the harbor
and along the coast, and much clearing and
other work done.
A large force OF carpenters are now at
work on a building for hall and bowling
alleys. This is to be finished next week. 1t
is So feet long and 20 wide and is to contain
three alleys, which will occupy all the first
story. Fifty fee. of the building will be two
stories in height, and the second story will
be finished in a neat hall to be used by the
Association for meetings, lectures, and such
other purposes as may be found advisable.
1t will be found especially convenient in case
OF sudden shower when large parties of Wis.,
itors chance to be on the island, as is fire.
quently the case.
Among the many points of interest on the
island is a curious canal of huge dimensions
in the solid rock at the south end, running
from the shore inland, which seems as if the
granite had been lifted asunder BY some
mighty force, forming a wall on either side
as square as if carefully hewn, for many rods
in length.
There is abundance of the purest water on
the island. The views from its hills are fine
and the fishing excellent, while its conven-
fence Of access and mail facilities are so much
in its favor that it cannot fail to become all
that is desired BY those who projected and
are carrying on the enterprise. A. B. c.
