Yesterday. although rather murky and overcast,
was mild in temperature as late afternoon in au-

but they are nowhere to be seen. The snow,

brilancy Of the usual effects Of Winters rule.
The churches were all well attended yesterday &C
cording to the opinions OF our different reporters;
but there did not occur under the shadow Of any
religious roof an incident OF sensational charac-

the public. To some, therefore, the following COL
umns OF sermons win be "nat;' but there will

CHRISTMAS is COMING.
This seemed to be an inspiration rejected In
Svery sunny face Of the children (although the
Gun did not shine) who walked along the streets
from the Sabbath schools yesterday. 1t might
have been observed, too, that they were particu-
iariy good. and did not indulge In church

THE FLIGHT OF TINE
only occasionally Is impressed upon such young
minds as solemn fact; but It's impression is deep
and lasting, and then there are linked with it
those gentle dreams which never return to again
after the OF our nght-heartedness is ended.
Most OF the sermons yesterday were such as were
specially fitted TO prepare all hearts for an earnest
and intelligent celebration of the greatest festival
OF the Christian Church. which occurs at the close
Of this month. In the Catholic churches especially
the great subject Of the day was the one inspired
by the fact that the OF the Advent is rapidly
drawing q close. and accordingly "the voice OF
one crying in the wilderness had many true and
eloquent echoes throughout the sanctuaries OF the

The Corn Festival at South Gardiner.

Mr.. Alden Baker, who is the Superin,end-
ent of the Sunday School at South Gardiner,
in this State, conceived brilliant thought
| which has resulted very favorably for his
school. Inc idea was a novel one and we give
it here for the benefit of oilers. He bought
early in the spring, some very nice seed corn,
| of the ordinary variety, shelled it, and putting
| it into several envelopes, twenty. five kernels
each, he offered to his scholars these envel-
opes, telling them to plant the corn, and at
harvest time to gather and trace it up; and
| also, that after they had harvested their crop,
he Guild have corn festival, at which time
| the several products of these twenty Eve
kernals each should be brought in, and the
| one producing the largest and best crop,
should have as a prize, gold dollar. The
| corn then to be sold, and the proceeds to go
| into the Sabbath School Treasury. Many of
| the scholars avsiled themselves of his offer,
| and ON Monday evening, October 2Sth. they
| brought in for inspection, their respective
crops Of corn.
| The parents of the children provided a
great variety of food. such corn bread,
hulled corn and milk, has,y pudding, baked
| Indian pudding and cream, corn balls, corn
| candy, &C., &C., which were sold to the peo-
pie assembled, who had previously been es-
pecially requested to come with empty stom
achs and full purses. Rev. +. E. Sturgess Of
Gardiner, made some We y felcitious remarks
on the origin of corn, giving several very ap-
propriate illustrations and legendary accounts
of its use and value. He told them that he
hoped they were all prepared to "shell out"
and that they would not get too much
'corned". The committee them examined
the corn to award the prize. Ono little tel
low had watched his corn very carefully and
had succeeded in raising very fine crop, hut
in an evil hour, a stray chicken got into his
corn patch, and pecked away at the ears till
they were SADLY disfgured; SO he killed and
dressed the chicken and brought it in to show
where his corn had gone to and was sold with
the trace Of corn. The committee awarded
the prize to Abby Wiley; and after that, Mr.
Baker, the Superintendent, sold the corn at
auction. The corn raised from the original
investment of ten cents, sold for about tw enty
five dollars, and the articles of food sent in,
| for rs much more, SO that the school received
| over fifty dollars rs the result of the novel
conception Of the Superintendent. Who has
done better then this? IL was a grand suc-
| cess.

Gen. Tilton had the presence OF mind &c
smother the flames by throwing a blanket ovel
the burning man. When the fire was extin.
gui.hed he presented most sad spectacle.
His hair and beard we're gone, and his clothes
burned off to the waist. and his flesh, bat
more especially his hands, arms, head and
face presented a blackened and charred ap-
pearance. In this condition he walked an
eighth of mile to the dispensary, where Sur.
geon Wright and Dr.. Burns furnished him
every relief known to medical skill. He suf-
tered most intensely, but bore up against it
heroically and hopefully as long as reason
held sway. He survived but thirty-six hours
after the explosion.
The following note was this morning re-
! eeived from the deputy governor:

held, in such form that others may be en-
Outraged to leave like good name if cut off

life, may acquire the love and respect of all
men, by answering honesty of purpose and
kindness of heart. (Signed)

The Hay Market.

The work Of pressing and shipping hay in
Kennebec county is now being done at brisk
rate. Several hundred tons are shipped to
western markets each week by dealers in our
immediate vicinity. We learn that Mr.. Sam
uel Clark, Jr., of Sidney, one of the most en-.
terprising and .uccessful hay dealers in the
county, is doing large business in that line
this fall. He 10 running several presses in
this and neighboring towns, two of which
alone are turning of baled hay at the rate OF
about 275 tons per month, which is consid-
cred by hay men to be very large yield
for the number of presses. He has shipped
since Sept. LIST, from different stations on the
Maine Central, over GOO tons, and has twenty
eight car loads, or over 200 tons, now on hand,
ready for shipment and waiting transporta-
lion.
Large hay dealers find it impossible to OBJ
tain ready cars to meet their demands for
shipment.
Maine finds ready market for the surplus
of her staple product. Owing to the drouth
for the three previous years, her shipments
have been limited, but she bids fair this year
to do her part towards supplying the wants of
the large cities of The country.
